MT. LAUREL, N.J., May 10, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As a dermatologist serving New Jersey, Dr. Robin Levin is always seeking the best, most effective treatments for her patients. That ongoing quest to provide safe and effective options that make use of the latest developments in medical and cosmetic technology is what led her to introduce Vivace™ at South Jersey Skin Care & Laser Center in February of this year.
The Vivace™ Fractional Micro Needle RF device blends the best aspects of two skin-rejuvenation treatments into one for optimal results.
Microneedling involves numerous tiny needles creating hundreds of channels in the skin, each of which stimulates collagen production and other healing processes that benefit skin health and appearance. Radiofrequency energy (RF) involves delivering energy into the skin, also with a goal of encouraging fresh collagen growth for a smoother, more even look.
Vivace™ Fractional Micro Needle RF puts those two ideas together into one, with the needles serving as the delivery mechanism for RF energy, ensuring its penetration deeper below the surface. Technically, the radiofrequency is delivered to 31 different depths for remarkable precision.
The minimally invasive treatment is ideal for patients who want to address signs of aging, including wrinkles, fine lines, skin laxity, and poor tone. Renewed collagen production adds volume to the skin, causing it to fill out and tighten.
While other RF microneedling devices have been available, Vivace™ Fractional Micro Needle RF is powered by a robotic motor that improves the experience by making it more comfortable for patients. A numbing cream can be applied half an hour to 45 minutes prior to a session to minimize sensation. With the cream in effect, patients have described the treatment as little more than light pressure punctuated by occasional light “sparking feelings.” The session itself typically lasts about 45 minutes.
In order to achieve ideal results, multiple treatments are likely necessary. Frequently, three treatments spaced a month or more apart accomplish the desired effect. Collagen regeneration continues for six months, meaning youthful results can continue to improve long after the treatments have ended.
Vivace™ is available at South Jersey Skin Care & Laser Center’s office at 101 Gather Drive in Mount Laurel, NJ, 08054.
