Five things you need to know about Vivace skin tightening treatment
Vivace skin tightening treatment has been gaining popularity as a non-invasive way to improve the skin’s texture and reduce signs of aging. It has been a treatment offered at Houston Dermatology Associates for quite some time, but patients are learning more about this service and are curious about its benefits. So what exactly is Vivace, and how does it work? Below are five important things you need to know about this revolutionary skincare treatment offered at our Houston, Texas, area office:
- What is a Vivace treatment? Many patients ask, what is Vivace? Vivace is best described by our team of professionals as a minimally invasive skin treatment that combines both microneedling and radiofrequency energy to tighten and rejuvenate the skin. This technology targets both the surface of the skin and deeper layers, stimulating collagen production and promoting a more youthful appearance. It is typically used on various areas of the face and body to address fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, and loose or sagging skin.
- How it works. Vivace uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin while simultaneously delivering radiofrequency energy. The combination of these two treatments helps to stimulate natural collagen production and improve the overall skin texture. The radiofrequency also causes some thermal damage to deep tissue layers, which further promotes collagen production for long-term skin tightening effects.
- What to expect during treatment. On the day of your Vivace treatment, a numbing cream is applied to the specific treatment area to minimize any discomfort. This device is then passed over the skin by our trained and skilled doctors at Houston Dermatology Associates, creating microscopic punctures and delivering radiofrequency energy. Most patients experience little to no pain during the procedure, and there is minimal downtime afterward.
- The benefits of Vivace. Besides reducing signs of aging and improving skin texture, Vivace has many other benefits for patients looking for a non-invasive skincare solution. It also improves skin tone and reduces pore size, giving you an overall smoother and more youthful appearance. Additionally, it is considered safe for all skin types and colors. Vivace also has minimal downtime, meaning you can resume your daily activities immediately after treatment.
- How many treatments are needed? The number of Vivace treatments needed varies for each patient depending on their skin concerns and desired outcome. However, most patients see significant improvement after a series of three or more treatments that are spaced four to six weeks apart. Our team at Houston Dermatology Associates will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that best fits your individual needs and goals.
