What is Vivace RF Microneedling?
Vivace RF Microneedling is a revolutionary treatment that combines the collagen-stimulating power of microneedling with the skin-tightening effects of radiofrequency (RF) energy.
The Vivace device uses ultrafine, gold-tipped needles to create clean, precise micro-channels in the skin. As each needle penetrates, it delivers a controlled pulse of RF energy deep into the dermis. This dual action, mechanical stimulation and gentle heat, launches a robust healing cascade, building new collagen, tightening elastin, and smoothing surface irregularities. The result is a minimally-invasive treatment that dramatically improves wrinkles, acne scars, skin laxity, and pore size, all while remaining safe for nearly every skin type.
Firm & Renew How Radiofrequency Microneedling Works
The Vivace microneedling device houses gold-tipped needles insulated to protect the epidermis. When the device stamps the treatment area, the tips penetrate precise depths, guided by Dr. Kirk Mitchell, to reach the dermis. Their thermal RF energy heats targeted tissues to about 149°F, a temperature proven to denature worn collagen proteins without harming surrounding structures. Heat-shock proteins activate fibroblasts, which then release growth factors, peptides, and platelets, promoting the synthesis of new collagen, elastin, and supportive proteins.
Heat is delivered in fractions across the dermis, allowing unharmed zones to act as reservoirs of healthy cells that accelerate repair. This fractional approach means fewer inflammatory signals, less downtime, and a greater focus on rebuilding proteins rather than fighting injury. As fibroblasts lay down fresh collagen, they also weave elastin strands, restoring supple bounce and thicker dermal layers of the skin. Over subsequent weeks, neovascularization improves oxygenation, enhancing overall skin tone and naturally improving hydration.
Targeted Results Benefits of Vivace RF Microneedling at Our Longmont Spa
Experience the benefits at our Longmont location, where innovative treatments and expert care come together to help you look and feel your best.
Firms and Lifts the Skin Naturally
RF energy stimulates collagen production and contracts existing fibers, tightening skin and reducing sagging, delivering lift-like results without surgery or downtime. With adjustable settings, it's suitable for most skin types (including darker tones) and typically requires less than 24 hours of recovery, all while enhancing absorption of topical products for longer-lasting results.
Evens Skin Tone and Fades Discoloration
The treatment accelerates cell turnover and reduces inflammation, helping to fade sun damage, pigmentation, and post-acne marks for a brighter, balanced complexion.
Improves Texture, Scars, and Pore Size
Microneedling smooths rough patches, reduces large pores, and blends acne scars and stretch marks for a more refined, even surface.
Minimal Downtime & Safe for Most Skin Tones
The precision-controlled, insulated needles protect the top layer of skin, leading to significantly less downtime than traditional lasers. This makes Vivace a safe and effective option year-round and for a wider range of skin types, including darker skin tones.
Reduces Fine Lines and Signs of Aging
Collagen renewal helps soften wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, and forehead, restoring youthful elasticity and plumpness to aging skin.

How Radiofrequency Treatments Compare to Other Options
Traditional microneedling relies on mechanical injury alone, which means more sessions and longer redness. Laser resurfacing can give dramatic change but often involves considerable downtime and higher risks for darker skin tones. Chemical peels improve surface tone yet cannot tighten deeper collagen.
Vivace RF Microneedling marries mechanical and thermal stimuli, giving faster collagen remodeling, shorter downtime, and suitability across diverse skin types, with results that outlast many injectable skin treatments.
PICTURES Vivace RF Microneedling Before & Afters
Immediately post-treatment, the skin may look plumper with a radiant flush. At one week, texture feels smoother. By one month, pore size softens, acne scars fade, and fine lines lessen. After three sessions spaced four weeks apart, most patients see visible tightening and an even, lifted jawline.
Who’s It For Ideal Candidates for Radiofrequency Microneedling
RF Microneedling treatments are suitable for adults of nearly any gender who want to address mild to moderate signs of aging and improve overall skin quality without surgery.
Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Stimulates collagen production to smooth and soften visible signs of aging.
Acne Scars or Surgical Scars
Improves skin texture by reducing the depth and appearance of scar tissue.
Stretch Marks
Enhances skin elasticity and fades stretch mark discoloration.

Mild Skin Laxity

RF Micronnedling treatments may not be appropriate for individuals with an active infection, those who are pregnant, have metal implants in the treatment area, or have uncontrolled diabetes. A consultation with a qualified provider will confirm eligibility.
Personalized Plan Your Initial Vivace RF Microneedling Consultation in Longmont
During your consultation, Dr. Mitchell will review your medical history, assess your specific skin concerns, and discuss lifestyle factors like sun exposure and your current skincare routine. We may use digital analysis to capture baseline metrics for pore size, texture, and discoloration, and we take clinical photographs to chart your progress over time.
This thorough evaluation allows us to adjust treatment parameters for each area, ensuring steady improvement that aligns with your goals. Together, we will design a customized rejuvenation plan that may combine your Vivace RF Microneedling sessions with powerful boosters like exosomes or other complementary therapies to achieve the best possible outcome.
Get ready Preparing for Your RF Microneedling Session
To maximize results, we recommend:
- Discontinue retinoids, aggressive exfoliants, and peels five days before.
- Hydrate well and arrive with clean, makeup-free skin.
- Avoid sun exposure and apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.
- Discuss blood thinners or acne medications with our team.
- Wear comfortable clothing and bring your prescribed numbing cream.
- Schedule treatments two weeks before major events for predictable healing.
These preparatory steps help ensure a smoother, more effective session.
What To Expect Vivace RF Microneedling Session
Arrive fresh-faced and hydrated. We photograph the treatment area, then cleanse, remove makeup, and apply prescription numbing cream for painless comfort.
After 30 minutes, Dr. Mitchell removes the cream and adjusts needle depth and radiofrequency energy levels for your skin type and concern. The Vivace handpiece stamps methodically across the skin, delivering controlled heat as microchannels form. You feel light pressure, gentle warmth, and an occasional quick pinch. A final pass infuses exosome-rich serum to calm skin and jump-start recovery.
A full face and neck visit takes about 90 minutes from check-in to checkout. Expect mild redness, like a sun-kissed glow, for up to 24 hours with minimal swelling. Skip heavy workouts, hot showers, and makeup until the next day. Hydrate liberally, use peptide serum morning and night, and apply broad-spectrum SPF 50. Most patients resume normal activity immediately and see fresh radiance within days.
Lasting Results How Long Do RF Microneedling Results Last?
Most patients see a fresh glow within a week, with collagen and elastin building over three to six months for smoother, tighter skin. Results last 12–24 months, influenced by age, skin quality, lifestyle, and skincare habits. Dr. Mitchell recommends three initial sessions four weeks apart, then maintenance every 6–12 months, with sunscreen, hydration, and light treatments helping extend benefits.
Clinically Safe Risks and Side Effects of RF Microneedling
Radiofrequency microneedling is generally safe and minimally invasive, yet any technique that creates micro-injuries can bring side effects. The most common reactions are mild redness or warmth that fades within 24 hours. You might also see pinpoint bleeding at the microchannels, slight swelling around the eyes, dryness or flaking during the first week of healing, and brief bruising on thinner skin.
