The Approach
Three Layers of Renewal, One Gentle Session
Every great painting is built in layers. Vivace works the same way.
The first layer is microneedling. Fine needles create tiny, controlled channels that awaken your skin’s natural collagen production. The second is radiofrequency, gentle warmth delivered through those needles into the deeper skin to firm and tighten. The third is light. Vivace finishes with blue and red LED therapy, chosen by your provider to clarify, calm, and support healthy collagen.
That final layer is what sets Vivace apart. Of the four microneedling treatments at Artisan, it is the only one that adds light, and it is designed with comfort at its heart. For refining tone, texture, fine lines, and pores, it is a beautiful first step into radiofrequency microneedling, and a treatment many patients return to year after year.
Candidacy
Is Vivace Right for You?
Vivace suits a wide range of skin types and tones. Because Artisan offers all four microneedling treatments, your provider can recommend Vivace when it is your ideal match, or guide you to Morpheus8, Sylfirm, or SkinPen if one of them suits your skin even better.
Vivace may be ideal if you:
- Would like to refine texture, tone, fine lines, pores, acne scarring, or mild laxity
- Want the benefits of radiofrequency microneedling with an emphasis on comfort
- Are ready for a short series and daily sun protection afterward
- Have a deeper skin tone and are looking for an alternative to lasers, since radiofrequency microneedling is generally well suited to deeper skin
Scope
What Vivace Treats
Beautifully Suited For
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven tone and texture
- Enlarged pores
- Acne scarring and blemish-prone skin supported by blue LED light
- Mild skin laxity, through radiofrequency tightening
- And dullness, for a fresh, lit-from-within radiance
When Another Treatment May Be Best
For more significant laxity, Morpheus8 reaches deeper layers for greater tightening, and surgical options can restore structure when tissue has descended. Volume loss is best restored with filler. Vivace beautifully refines and firms the skin, and your provider will help you choose the right approach for your goals.
The Difference
The Final Touch of Light
Your provider selects the LED color for your skin. Blue light targets acne-causing bacteria, making Vivace a lovely choice for congested or blemish-prone skin. Red light supports collagen production and calms inflammation, working in harmony with the collagen your treatment is already building.
Microneedling and radiofrequency do the deeper work, and light adds the finishing polish. It is a meaningful part of why Vivace feels so gentle and why it refines tone and clarity as beautifully as texture.

Sessions
Your Vivace Series
Vivace works in partnership with your body’s natural renewal, so your results build gently over a series. Most patients enjoy three to four sessions, about a month apart, with visible change emerging over the weeks after each visit as collagen forms. An annual maintenance session and daily SPF keep your skin looking its best.
Recovery

FAQ
Vivace FAQs
How is Vivace different from Morpheus8?
Both are radiofrequency microneedling treatments. Morpheus8 reaches the deepest layers and is ideal for laxity and jawline contouring. Vivace adds blue and red LED light, is designed for comfort, and beautifully refines tone, texture, fine lines, and pores.
Is Vivace painful?
Most patients find Vivace very comfortable. A numbing cream is applied 20 to 30 minutes beforehand, and you may feel mild warmth or light pressure. Your provider adjusts settings for your comfort throughout.
What does the LED light do?
Blue light targets acne-causing bacteria, and red light supports collagen and calms inflammation, adding a gentle finishing touch to your treatment.
Is Vivace safe for darker skin tones?
Generally, yes. Radiofrequency microneedling is well suited to deeper skin tones, making it a lovely alternative for patients who may not be ideal candidates for some lasers.
Who should not have Vivace?
Vivace is not recommended during an active skin infection or breakout, pregnancy or breastfeeding, with certain autoimmune conditions, a tendency toward keloid scarring, or while taking Accutane. Your provider will confirm your candidacy at your consultation.
Can I add PRP to Vivace?
Yes. Your own platelet-rich plasma can be applied during treatment, allowing its growth factors to reach deeper layers through the microchannels. Your provider can help you decide if it suits your goals.
How does radiofrequency microneedling work?
Fine needles create tiny channels that stimulate collagen, while radiofrequency energy delivered through the needles warms the deeper skin to firm and tighten. Vivace adds LED light for a complete, three-layer treatment.
How many Vivace sessions will I need?
Most patients enjoy three to four sessions, about a month apart, followed by annual maintenance.
How much does Vivace cost in Atlanta?
Your cost depends on your treatment area and series. You will receive complete pricing for your series at your consultation, and financing is available.
Is there downtime with Vivace?
Little. Expect mild redness and sensitivity, like a light sunburn, for up to two days. Most patients have very little social downtime and return to normal activity quickly, with sun protection.
When will I see Vivace results?
Gradually, over about a month, as collagen builds, and deepening across your series. This is not an instant treatment, and the patience is rewarded.
What should I avoid after treatment?
For the first 24 hours, skip sun exposure, strenuous exercise, makeup, and antioxidant serums, and avoid AHA and BHA cleansers for a few days. A cooling mask, 10 minutes on and 10 off, helps calm any redness the day of treatment. After that, the one rule that doesn’t expire is daily SPF 30 or higher. It’s what protects the collagen you’re building.
