Vivace® RF Microneedling in Albany, NY, provides a minimally invasive, FDA-cleared option for skin rejuvenation. This robust, non-surgical treatment is performed by our licensed estheticians at Spa One to help clients from across the New York Capital Region.
What Is Vivace® RF Microneedling?
The Vivace® RF Microneedling device features fine needles that are used to create controlled micro-channels in the skin while simultaneously delivering radiofrequency (RF) energy to the deeper layers of the dermis. This dual action stimulates natural collagen and elastin production, enhancing skin tightening, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, minimizing pores, and improving overall skin tone and texture.
Is Vivace® RF Microneedling Right For Me?
Vivace® RF Microneedling is suitable for clients of all skin types and tones. It’s ideal for those seeking effective skin rejuvenation without the recovery time or risks associated with more invasive procedures.
However, clients with active skin infections in the treatment area or certain skin conditions may need to delay treatment until these concerns are resolved. A consultation with an expert member of our Spa One team will determine if Vivace® RF Microneedling is appropriate for your specific cosmetic goals.
The Procedure
A specially formulated, compounded numbing cream is applied about 30-45 minutes before the treatment to ensure your comfort. Once the treatment area(s) are adequately numbed, your esthetician uses the Vivace® handpiece to create precise micro-channels with tiny needles while delivering controlled RF heat energy.
During this process, clients typically feel only light pressure and occasional mild sparking sensations. Afterward, specialized serums are applied to improve healing and treatment results. Many providers recommend a series of three treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, for optimal results; however, single sessions are also available.
The Recovery Process
During the first 4-6 hours after treatment, it’s recommended to use gentle skincare products, such as a soothing mask and recovery system provided by your esthetician. Makeup can usually be applied after six hours if desired, though many clients feel comfortable going without. To ensure optimal healing, avoid heavy exercise and sweating for 24 hours following your sessions. Protecting the skin from direct sun exposure and using sunscreen are also important during recovery.

FAQs
Are the results of Vivace® RF Microneedling permanent?
Results are long-lasting, but the natural aging process and environmental factors will continue to affect your skin. Regular maintenance treatments and good skincare habits help sustain the improvements.
Will Vivace® RF Microneedling treat active acne?
While Vivace® can help improve acne scars and skin texture, it is generally not recommended for active inflammatory acne. Your esthetician may suggest other therapies to manage active breakouts, such as chemical peels.
