RF Microneedling in Houston, TX

About Vivace, RF Microneedling

 

Lou Plastic Surgery in Houston, Tx uses a special skin rejuvenation approach that creates beautiful results for our patients with a treatment known as Vivace, radiofrequency (RF) microneedling. RF laser treatments have been around for many years and are well-known in the cosmetic industry for skin resurfacing, skin tightening, and promoting healthy skin quality. This particular type of laser treatment uses heat to encourage the production of collagen in the deeper layers of the skin to create a tighter, smoother surface. At Lou Plastic Surgery, we often add Vivace to our patients' skin treatment plans to generate firmer skin, a smoother texture, and a glowing complexion. Lou Plastic Surgery is proud to offer Vivace, RF microneedling to our collection of non-surgical skin rejuvenation options.

Vivace, RF Microneedling

Vivace, RF Microneedling boosts the skin’s natural collagen and elastin production to alleviate fine lines, wrinkles, tighten the skin, and improve pore size and skin tone, with minimal downtime. This popular non-surgical skin treatment in Houston, Tx uses a handheld device that has numerous tiny sterile needles attached to the end. Vivace creates micro-injuries to the skin that stimulate the production of collagen. During this process, new elastin and collagen fibers are formed over time, leaving the skin's surface looking and feeling healthier, smoother, and rejuvenated. This microneedling technique is often referred to as collagen induction therapy. This experience will let you look your best at any age.

Vivace, RF Microneedling - What to Expect

Your Vivace, RF microneedling session will take place inside the Lou Plastic Surgery office. A highly trained team member will apply numbing cream to make sure any discomfort is minimized. During your appointment, the handheld device will target areas of concern, repeating the process until the desired results have been reached. Detailed post-treatment instructions will be discussed, along with post-treatment product recommendations. Results will become visible at 3 – 4 weeks with continued improvement up to several months after your Vivace treatment. Optimal results usually entail a series of treatments spaced 4 weeks apart.
