My skin lookssoglowy.
Personally, Im not down with the idea ofBotoxand other injectables (but you do you, boo).
A tall order, I know.
So, did one session ofVivace RF Microneedlingpay off?
Read on for all the deets on my experience and the results.
The Vivace treatment uses a medical-grade stamping gadget with 36 gold-tipped needles for the microneedling component.
This powerhouse combination purportedly makes the treatment more effective than many other professional microneedling devices.
Plus, Vivaces gear usesLED light therapytoreduce inflammation while facilitating healing.
Whilemicroneedling treatmentsdont require any downtime, some can cause redness that lasts up to 48 hours or more.
I arrived at my microneedling appointment makeup-free.
This is standard with microneedling treatments since they can be painful otherwise.
What Does Vivace RF Microneedling Feel Like?
Surprisingly enough, I was super relieved when I felt no pain whatsoever once the treatment started.
I could feel some very light pressure throughout, but it didn’t hurt.
On the very last pass, Flavin increased the radiofrequency heat to further stimulate collagen and elastin production.
The whole process took about 35 to 40 minutes.
My skin felt taut and looked dewy AF.
My face also looked overall more contoured, and some of my sun spots had faded.
Basically, it looked like my skin was wearing an Instagram filter IRL.
Its the gift that keeps on giving.
After seeing what one session can do, Ill admit Ive already started looking into booking my second treatment.
Better late than never on prioritizing skin care, right?
