Vivace RF Microneedling in Neenah, WI

It tightens as it resurfaces.

Vivace RF microneedling at our Neenah studio adds radiofrequency heat to microneedling, so it firms loose skin along the jaw and neck while it smooths acne scars, pores and fine lines. Numbing is included, recovery is a few quiet days, and the standard plan is three sessions.

What it does

Vivace RF Microneedling at Illumatox.

Vivace pairs microneedling with radiofrequency heat. A handpiece with 36 sterile microneedles creates small channels through the top layers of skin, and radiofrequency energy delivered from the needle tips heats the deeper layer at the same time. The needling triggers repair; the heat contracts existing collagen and drives a stronger rebuild than needling alone.

That combination is why it addresses laxity in a way needling alone does not, and why it is the one we reach for when the jaw and neck are the concern rather than the cheeks. Where SkinPen improves texture, this also firms.

It is stronger, so it asks for more: numbing is included, and a clear weekend is sensible. Expect to look flushed and slightly swollen for a day or two, with a sandpaper texture for about three days.

SkinPen or Vivace?

SkinPen needles; Vivace needles and heats. If the concern is scarring or texture, SkinPen does the job at a lower cost and with an easier recovery. If laxity is part of the problem (a softening jawline, a crepey neck) Vivace is the one that addresses it, because the radiofrequency heat contracts tissue in a way needling alone does not.

What is the downtime?

Redness and mild swelling for a day or two, a little more than SkinPen because of the heat, and a rough, sandpaper texture for around three days. Makeup is usually fine from day two. Plan a quiet few days rather than an event.

How many sessions will I need?

Three, four to six weeks apart, is the standard plan, with a review at six months when the collagen response has had time to show. Deeper acne scarring sometimes takes a fourth. It is sold as a package of three.

Is it painful?

Numbing cream is included and it makes a substantial difference. Most people describe heat and pressure rather than pain. It is more intense than SkinPen, which is the trade for the additional effect.

How long do results last?

The collagen built is your own, so it lasts as long as that collagen does: typically a year or more before a maintenance session. It does not stop ageing, so a single session a year keeps pace rather than restarting.

Is it safe on all skin tones?

Radiofrequency energy is not absorbed by pigment the way laser light is, which makes it considerably safer across deeper skin tones than many lasers. We still assess first, but this is one of the treatments where skin tone is far less of a limiting factor.
