Vivace Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that combines microneedling and radiofrequency energy to smooth fine lines, tighten skin, and improve overall tone and texture with minimal downtime. At Cleaver Dermatology and Aesthetics, Vivace is a popular option for patients who want natural looking rejuvenation without looking overfilled or overdone. Many patients love that they can get treatment and still return to normal plans the same day.
Vivace is an advanced microneedling treatment that pairs tiny sterile needles with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen and elastin in both the surface and deeper layers of the skin. The microneedling creates controlled microchannels that trigger your body’s healing response. Radiofrequency adds gentle heat below the surface to enhance collagen remodeling and support firmer, smoother looking skin over time.
Vivace also includes a specialized treatment serum and a cooling peptide mask that are used to calm the skin and support a comfortable experience. This combination helps improve texture, refine pores, and soften lines while keeping results natural.
Vivace is commonly used to improve
Patients choose Vivace because it delivers noticeable improvement while still looking like you. It is designed for graceful aging, not a stretched or overfilled look. Many people also choose Vivace because it is comfortable and fits busy schedules, with minimal downtime compared with more aggressive resurfacing treatments.
Vivace is also attractive for patients who want a technology driven approach that targets both texture and firmness. The combination of microneedling and radiofrequency can provide stronger collagen support than microneedling alone, which is why many patients choose it for tightening and pore refinement.

What to expect during your visit
Your appointment begins with a skin assessment and a discussion of goals. A numbing cream is typically applied to improve comfort. During treatment, the Vivace handpiece is passed across the skin in a controlled pattern. Most patients feel pressure and mild warmth.
After treatment, you may look pink or mildly flushed, similar to a light sunburn. This usually improves within a day or two. The cooling peptide mask helps calm the skin, and many patients feel comfortable returning to normal plans the same day.
Results and timeline
Some patients notice an early glow quickly. Collagen remodeling continues over time, so the best results typically build over several weeks. Many patients do best with a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart, followed by maintenance as recommended.
