Vivace RF microneedling is a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency to address stretch marks, acne scars, wrinkles, crepey skin, fine lines, dullness, and roughness
How does our RF Microneedling work?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that helps minimize the signs of aging, improve the appearance of acne scars and rejuvenate aging skin. This procedure causes controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the body’s natural wound healing process. The micro-injuries trigger the release of cytokines and growth factors that lead to remodeling of collagen and elastin.
