What is Radiofrequency Microneedling?
Dr. Adam Bodian likes to call the Vivace procedure "microneedling on steroids". The Vivace delivers the most precise , deep and pain-free microneedling experience as the 36 gold-tip needles are guided into the skin with a robotically controlled handpiece. This, plus the even delivery of radio frequency (RF) through the needle tips, tightens skin and eliminates discomfort. The results are both immediate and improve over time with multiple treatments. RF provides heat that stimulates collagen production which has been found to lead to tighter, younger-looking skin. Great for acne scars too. Vivace may be combined with PRP for more powerful results We encourage you to schedule your RF microneedling consultation at our Great Neck, NY office.

how does RF Microneedling work?
Vivace, RF microneedling procedure is quite straightforward. The handheld device delivers the most precise microneedling experience as the 36 gold-tip needles are guided into the skin with a robotically controlled handpiece. This, plus the even delivery of radio frequency (RF) through the needle tips, tightens skin and eliminates discomfort. New skin forms as the skin heals, leaving the top layer feeling and looking brighter, smoother, and more refreshed.
What to Expect with RF Microneedling
Your microneedling session will be performed inside the Bodian Dermatology facility with the use of numbing cream to help reduce discomfort. During your appointment, the Vivace handheld device will glide over the chosen area, repeating the technique until the desired outcome has been reached. You should anticipate small pinpoint scabs to appear 24 – 72 hours post-treatment, which will naturally shed when the inherent skin has healed. Results become noticeable as the skin heals over the 3 – 4 weeks following a microneedling with RF treatment. Optimal results generally need a few treatments scheduled 3 – 4 weeks apart.
RF Microneedling FAQ
How many RF microneedling treatments should I get?
Every patient is different; some individuals may want more sessions than others. We will take the time to thoroughly assess your skin and consider your needs and goals to decide the appropriate number of sessions for you. Usually, many patients receive 3 – 4 procedures spaced about a month apart.
Does RF microneedling hurt?
After a topical numbing cream is applied to the target area, most patients experience minimal pain during treatment. Throughout the procedure, we will ask you to make sure you're comfortable. When the numbing cream wears off, you might have some discomfort briefly while your skin is healing itself.
Can I combine RF microneedling with other treatments?
Even though RF microneedling can deliver great outcomes on its own, you might think about getting it with a second treatment for even more impressive improvements. In your consultation, we will ask about all your concerns and goals before recommending RF microneedling and any complementary treatments.
