Optimize your Looks with a Vivace in Beverly Hills
Vivace is a non-surgical microneedling skin treatment that helps patients achieve youthful, radiant skin. It combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to stimulate collagen production. This highly effective modality produces quick, natural-looking results with little to no discomfort, making it a viable alternative to facelifts.
As we age, our bodies produce less collagen, causing the skin to lose its radiance and youthfulness, resulting in wrinkles, sagging skin, and fine lines. Vivace is an exceptional solution to regain healthy, vibrant skin without surgery.
The Vivace procedure is a quick and effective skin treatment that leaves you with glowing, youthful skin. Refer to the gallery above for before and after images of the Vivace procedure.
What is Vivace?
Vivace is a non-surgical, minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that uses radiofrequency microneedling to stimulate natural collagen production, resulting in facial, neck, and body contouring.
The device consists of 36 ultra-fine gold-tipped needles that deliver precise radiofrequency energy at 31 depths of penetration.
Wrinkles, fine lines, red skin discoloration, acne scarring, and other skin concerns are improved with Vivace. It also aids in attaining radiant, tighter, smoother, and healthier skin with no surgery.

How the Procedure Works
Vivace is a simple yet effective procedure requiring minimal preparation. There are various processes and steps involved in skin treatments, surgical or non-surgical. It is equally crucial for you to understand the entire process if you are considering Vivace.
Before & Preparation
Avoid using Retin-A or abrasive products on the skin for at least three days before going in.
Ensure your face is clean and free of makeup or dirt before the procedure.
During the Procedure
Vivace is a painless treatment, so you should only experience minor discomfort.
The experienced practitioner will apply a numbing cream 30 minutes before your treatment to alleviate discomfort.
Vivace's Microneedling rollers will be applied to your face for the next 45 minutes, causing collagen production.
The gold-tipped needles stimulate collagen production without causing facial tearing or swelling.
The entire process will take 60-90 minutes to complete.
Aftercare & Recovery
It is standard to experience minor redness and swelling in the treatment area, similar to a sunburn. This effect should fade after a few hours.
You may experience tightness, sensitivity, bruises, and pinpoint bleeding in the treatment area. These effects should subside after a few days.
Avoid direct sunlight as directed by your practitioner.
Avoid applying makeup or sunscreen for at least 24 hours. Avoid direct sun exposure for 24 hours.
Avoid anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen, Motrin, and Advil as they can interfere with the body's natural healing process.
Avoid activities that heat the skin, including exercise, hot tubs, saunas, or hot showers for two days.
Your practitioner will advise you on proper skin care techniques to ensure optimal results post-treatment.

Vivace Reviews
I've just finished my 9th Vivace treatment and I feel like I look 10 years younger! Alexia is AMAZING! She has changed my skin tone, texture, and I have no more saggy skin around my cheeks. This is the best micro needling treatment out there! I love this better than any laser- it has the best numbing cream and no pain at all!!! The minute you finish you are literally glowing! (A little red for like an hour or 2 but my skin feels tighter immediately!!!)

This serves as visible evidence of ingredient absorption. We love to use it on the neck, chest, arms, abdomen, thighs and knees for hydration and collagen production to decrease crepiness and wrinkles.

While every patient has his or her own unique pain threshold, most find Vivace extremely easy to tolerate. We use a really great numbing cream that we have specially compounded with a Versapro carrier so it’s much more effective than other numbing creams out here. Also, you should know that the needles are incredibly fine so though they make look scary, they don’t hurt. I have had the procedure done myself and found it almost relaxing. Honestly, my skin didn’t even feel irritated afterwards. It’s one of those procedures that goes against the adage ‘no pain, no gain’.
Vivace is a non-invasive treatment that uses a microneedling device to deliver radio frequency (RF) energy into the deeper layers of your dermis. This allows the heating action of the RF to immediately tighten both the surface of your skin as well as its underlying structures. This is why it’s able to address such a wide range of skin tone and texture issues. Furthermore, over time, new and remodeled collagen is produced by your body in response to these “injuries”. This results in even more skin tightening and texture improvements for healthier, smoother and more youthful looking skin.
No. Your skin will look flushed after your procedure. But it’s no worse than how you look after an intense workout. And when you wake up the next day, the flush is gone and you are left with fantastic looking skin. It is really that simple.
Yes, Vivace can definitely improve acne break-outs as the RF heat shuts down the glands that produce the oil and the Blue LED light kills that bacteria that causes the break outs.
It is our job to assess your skin and figure out the right procedure for delivering on your goals. This is why we are adamant that patients come in for an in-person or virtual consultation. We want all of our Beverly Hills and beyond patients to be happy. The best way to achieve this is to match the right procedure with the right patient.
The effects of your last treatment can last anywhere from six months to several years.A series of treatments, rather than a single treatment, is recommended to achieve long-lasting results. Treatments every four to six months will continue to improve skin quality.
Yes, Vivace is superior to Ultherapy. Ultherapy primarily targets skin tightening, while Vivace treats fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and skin discoloration while tightening the skin.
Vivace tightens loose skin on the neck and other body parts, such as the abdomen and arms. The use of radiofrequency energy enhances and expedites skin tightening effects.
Morpheus8 and Vivace utilize similar technologies but are not the same. Vivace combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to target superficial layers of this skin. Morpheus8 uses fractionated energy with RF and microneedling to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin.
The Vivace treatment is safe and virtually painless. Patients will receive a local anesthetic before treatment to reduce any discomfort. During treatment, you may experience light pressure, minor pricking, or a warming sensation.
Vivace is an effective treatment that produces full results within 1-2 weeks. Significant improvements in texture and tone are noticeable after a single treatment. Three sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart will produce the most optimal effects.
