Vivace Ultra RF/MN Microneedling Denver
Are you frustrated by general signs of aging and looking for a skin treatment that will tone and tighten your face and neck? Vivace® is an FDA-cleared radiofrequency microneedling device that stimulates the natural production of collagen to dramatically improve signs of aging in the face. The treatment is virtually painless and requires minimal downtime—most patients are able to go out for dinner on the day of their treatment!

Microneedling promotes more youthful skin by using tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. As the body heals itself, more collagen and elastin develop in the area, restoring your skin’s strength, elasticity, and firmness. When paired with radiofrequency (RF) in the Vivace device, the needles also deliver heat to deeper layers of the skin, enhancing the process of collagen regeneration.
RF Microneedling and Topical Serums
To level up your skin improvement, we incorporate topical lab-derived treatments, including growth factor serums, in your Vivace RF microneedling procedure. Because microneedling creates micro-channels in the skin, applying these powerful topical serums simultaneously allows them to penetrate the skin. This dramatically enhances skin improvement and strengthens the effects of microneedling by brightening your complexion and minimizing imperfections like fine lines and wrinkles, sun spots (photoaging), and acne scars.
Vivace stands out above other microneedling devices because it targets both epidermal (top layer) resurfacing and deeper dermal layer remodeling. Because of its potency, Vivace carries greater benefits than traditional microneedling, and the results are more pronounced with the addition of RF. Vivace is safe for most skin tones, including dark or tanned skin. Compared to other RF microneedling devices, Vivace has one of the highest “worth it” ratings, according to RealSelf.
Before your treatment, we will give you instructions on preparing your skin and a list of products to avoid. If you are prone to cold sores, we may prescribe an anti-viral medication to prevent a possible breakout. When you arrive for treatment, we’ll apply a numbing cream to prevent discomfort. It takes about 30-45 minutes to take full effect, and most patients say that treatment is quite comfortable with the numbing cream.
Then, the Vivace device is applied to your skin, and its small robotic motor gently applies the needles which emit RF heat into the dermis.; This part of the treatment takes about 45 minutes. To complete your treatment, we’ll apply a specialized serum and a cooling, plumping peptide mask to reduce redness and improve your results. You’ll be sent home with a Vivace Experience kit, which includes a special serum and mask to use in the weeks after treatment to optimize your results.

Avoid direct sunlight, wear sunscreen, and wait 24 hours before going back to the gym. You should also avoid wearing makeup until the next day (wait 6 hours after treatment at the very least), as your skin will be highly sensitive. Most patients are ready to resume normal activities within a day or two.

Optimal results usually appear 3-6 months post-treatment as collagen production continues. The results are long-lasting, and periodic maintenance treatments can help sustain these benefits.
