Most patients do not report any pain during or after a Vivace Ultra® Vision treatment. Sensations such as prickling or light pressure may occur during treatment. A numbing cream is applied by your physician to mitigate these sensations.

The treatment is generally completed within 30 minutes. This time may increase slightly if the treatment area is larger or requires greater precision around sensitive areas.

Most providers find that 3 to 4 treatments, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, provides the optimal experience for patients. While the results are often immediate for skin tone and texture, there is also improvement over a three-month period as the process of collagen regeneration increases over time.

The linear array ultrasound technology allows providers to visually map the skin of each patient to develop a personalised treatment in each layer of the skin, delivering robust efficacious results. A provider will be able to visualise the depth of skin layers to determine the optimal needle depth.

This eliminates guesswork and ensures improved outcomes. It also reduces the risk of common adverse events associated with radio-frequency (RF) treatments, such as the accidental targeting and melting away of fat pads in the face.

First 24 hours

Patients may experience minimal skin redness, tightness, and swelling in the first 24 hours post treatment. Patients should avoid vigorous exercise and the use of any skincare products besides the Soothe Mask and Boost Serum for the first 24 hours after treatment.

After 48 hours

Patients may resume vigorous exercise and using most skin moisturizers and other topical skincare products after two days. Makeup should be avoided for two to three days after treatment.

After 7 days

Patients should use the Boost Serum daily for seven days post treatment for best results. After one week, patients will begin to develop smoother, tighter skin. RF Microneedling post treatment side effects like swelling and skin redness should fully dissipate by this point.

Some risks and potential side effects do exist. These may include the following:

• Infection
• Hyperpigmentation of the skin
• Bruising
• Swelling
