Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the Vivace treatment?

Vivace is a minimally invasive skin treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to target various skin concerns such as acne, acne scars, skin laxity, and overall skin rejuvenation. It uses tiny microneedles to deliver RF energy to targeted layers of the skin without damaging the surface, promoting collagen production and skin tightening.

Who is an ideal candidate for Vivace?

Vivace is recommended for individuals seeking treatment for acne, acne scars, oil control, or skin rejuvenation. It is particularly suited for younger patients or those on a budget, as it is less painful and has a shorter recovery time compared to similar treatments. However, it is not recommended for patients with active psoriasis, pacemakers, metal implants, or a history of skin malignancies.

How should I prepare for the Vivace treatment?

Avoid sun exposure before the treatment, as it can cause sun damage and post-inflammatory darkening. Discontinue the use of Retinol at least one week prior to your appointment. If you have just had fillers, wait at least one week before undergoing the Vivace treatment.

What happens during a Vivace treatment?

The treatment starts with the application of topical anesthesia, which takes about 30 minutes. The microneedles then deliver RF energy to the targeted skin layers, stimulating collagen production and skin tightening. It also utilizes LED light technology to target and reduce acne-causing bacteria on the skin. The entire process, including anesthesia, takes approximately 1.5 hours.

Is the Vivace treatment painful?

Most patients report minimal discomfort, with a pain score of around 3-4 out of 10. The procedure is relatively less painful compared to similar treatments. Patients may also opt to apply topical anesthesia in the clinics for better pain management.

What should I expect immediately after a Vivace treatment?

Some redness and swelling are expected for about 1-3 days after the treatment. Makeup can be applied 24 hours post-treatment, and patients can resume their daily activities immediately.

Are there any side effects?

Side effects are minimal but may include temporary redness, swelling, or mild discomfort. Patients with a history of metal allergies, seizures, or skin malignancies should consult with a Belo Doctor before undergoing the treatment.

When will I see the results, and how long will they last?

Results are usually noticeable immediately after each session, with continued improvement over 2-3 months as collagen production increases. For acne and acne scars, treatments are typically done once a month, with the best results seen after six sessions. For skin tightening and rejuvenation, treatments are scheduled once every three months for a total of three sessions.

Is there any downtime required after the treatment?

No downtime is required. Patients can immediately return to their normal activities but should avoid sun exposure to prevent potential damage.

Can Vivace be combined with other treatments?

Yes, Vivace can be combined with other treatments like Botox, Air Dissector, or Thermage on the same day. However, specific protocols are recommended depending on the combination, such as doing Vivace before Botox.
