Vivace Radio Frequency Microneedling is a new treatment option for Orange County residents who want tight, youthful looking skin on their face, neck, and body. This procedure uses sterile gold-plated needles that penetrate to varying depths beneath your skin — combined with carefully controlled radiofrequency energy – to reduce pore size, wrinkles, and stretch marks. In addition, Vivace Microneedling decreases your skin’s oil levels and controls acne.
As we age, our bodies produce less elastin and collagen. This causes our skin to have less structure and elasticity, which ultimately causes our skin to sag and form wrinkles. Vivace Microneedling’s unique hand-held device uses variable length, tiny gold-plated needles, and radio frequency to penetrate your skin and increase the production of your body’s natural collagen and elastin. As a result, your skin repairs itself by dissolving and replacing damaged tissue. This naturally tightens your skin and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and scars – leaving you with smoother, younger looking skin.
Vivace Microneedling is recommended for residents of Orange County who are self-conscious about loose skin, wrinkles, poor skin texture, large pores, acne, scars and stretch marks. Oftentimes, these imperfections can detract from your appearance and make you feel self-conscious.

Following your Vivace Microneedling treatment, your skin may be red and flushed. Your skin may also feel tight, sensitive or itchy. Many patients describe the sensation as being similar to having a sunburn. The amount of discomfort depends on the extent of your treatment. You will be given instructions on how to care for your skin to reduce side-effects.
Vivace Microneedling can improve acne, reduce pore size, decrease wrinkles, tighten sagging skin, and reduce stretch marks. Vivace Microneedling can be used on all parts of the body.
We generally recommend a series of four or more treatments. However, our recommendation will vary depending on your skin’s condition and your goals. Treatments are usually spaced three to four weeks apart at our Orange County office. We will provide you with a treatment plan during your consultation.
You will be provided a topical anesthetic to apply to your skin 30 minutes prior to your treatment to keep you comfortable. We will then use a handpiece to open the skin channels. Treatments take between 30 and 60 minutes and can be performed on all parts of your body due to the flexibility of the treatment.
These microscopic openings, also called “fractionated injuries” can stay open for four to six hours, which is the key to a successful outcome.
Yes! Vivace Microneedling is extremely customizable. We are able to select the size, depth, and flexibility of the needles leaving you with a tailored treatment. We can also control the length of time the needles are in contact with your skin and the power of the radio-frequency waves. After your consultation, we will choose the optimal settings needed to create the results you desire. Because Vivace Microneedling is so customizable, the success of your treatment is highly dependent on the skill of the provider.
