Lickstein Plastic Surgery is excited to offer a new non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment for patients in Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, Port St. Lucie, Tequesta, North Palm Beach, West Palm Beach, and Wellington. Vivace is an FDA approved microneedling treatment that utilizes radio frequency (RF) to improve skin tone and texture to deliver a youthful, glowing complexion.
Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy (CIT), is a non-surgical skin treatment that is clinically proven to stimulate collagen production.1 Microneedling works by creating tiny micro-injuries that trigger the body’s natural healing process. Studies show that microneedling is an effective approach to skin rejuvenation and can successfully tighten skin, treat acne scarring, improve rosacea, and diminish the appearance of hyperpigmentation.2
Vivace is an innovative microneedling device that utilizes fractional radio frequency technology for deeper collagen stimulation and more significant skin remodeling. Vivace offers a smoother, more comfortable treatment that can be personalized to meet your needs. The superfine needles of Vivace are insulated and gold-tipped and the advanced movement of Vivace is motorized for ultimate precision. The RF energy of Vivace improves upon traditional microneedling to enhance the healing process for complete skin rejuvenation with little to no downtime.
During your consultation appointment at one of our Palm Beach Gardens or Port St. Lucie offices, we will discuss your aesthetic goals and assess your skin. If Vivace is right for you, we will develop your personalized treatment plan. At the beginning of your Vivace microneedling treatment, your skin will be cleansed and coated in a specialized numbing cream. The Vivace microneedles are adjustable to a wide range of depths and we will set the device to a level customized for your needs. The device will be applied to your skin and moved in intervals to cover the treatment area. Once your microneedling is complete, a post-treatment mask and serum will be will be applied to optimize your results. Treatment sessions typically last less than an hour. Recovery is quick and easy and you can resume regular activities after treatment, although you may want to avoid strenuous exercise for the rest of the day.
Our doctors will tailor your procedure for your needs and goals, and your results from Vivace Microneedling treatment will depend on your customized treatment plan. Results are progressive, which means that your skin will continue to improve for several months after your treatment as your skin’s natural collagen production increases. In general, you can expect smoother skin with a more even tone and texture.
This treatment is designed to be comfortable. You may feel light pressure, but a numbing cream will be used to prevent pain.
Your individual treatment plan will vary depending on your goals, but many patients achieve optimal results from three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart.
Results from Vivace will continue to improve for approximately six months after treatment as your skin continues to produce increased collagen and elastin.
Vivace is appropriate for men and women with a variety of skin tones and complexion concerns. If you would like smoother, brighter, more youthful-looking skin, Vivace may be right for you. Contact us to schedule a consultation to determine if you are a candidate.
