Vivace® RF Microneedling
in Middletown, NJ
RF microneedling is an improvement beyond traditional microneedling treatments that offers greater results and an accelerated recovery period. At Allure Plastic Surgery Center, board-certified Red Bank plastic surgeon Dr. John Taylor offers RF Microneedling to patients in Red Bank, Middletown and the surrounding areas of New Jersey.
What Is Vivace® RF Microneedling?
The Vivace® Microneedle RF device uses radiofrequency microneedling and is FDA-cleared for your safety. This minimally-invasive treatment stimulates the natural production of collagen and is shown to be effective in alleviating facial wrinkles and fine lines.
Standard microneedling is often referred to as collagen induction therapy because it creates small injuries in the skin that stimulate natural collagen production. Radiofrequency energy further enhances the collagen stimulation benefits by gently heating the skin. Additionally, radiofrequency energy triggers tissue contraction to tighten the skin and produce further cosmetic benefits.
Benefits of Vivace® RF Microneedling
RF microneedling is a powerful skin rejuvenation treatment that offers the following benefits:
- Diminishes wrinkles and lines
- Tightens the skin
- Reduces scars, acne scars and stretch marks
- Improves skin tone and texture
How are Vivace® Microneedling Treatments Performed?
Before RF microneedling treatments, we’ll apply a topical numbing cream to the skin to minimize any discomfort. To begin treatment, we’ll use a handheld microneedling device to create microscopic wounds in the skin. As the needles pierce the skin’s surface, the device will emit radiofrequency energy to the surrounding skin tissue. This process triggers immediate skin tightening and stimulates collagen production. The treatment is complete after the entire treatment area has been addressed, which usually takes about 30 minutes.
Patient Reviews
“I had my first appointment at Allure last week with Danielle. I frequently have shoulder/neck/back pain as a result of working from home and slouching. In the hour Danielle worked on me I was COMPLETELY transformed. She relieved so much tension and pain, and gave me helpful stretches to do before my next appointment. Danielle is AMAZING — pre- or post-op, or for general massage therapy. I will never see anyone else for body work again! Thank you, Danielle and the Allure team!”

Preparing for Vivace® Microneedling
The only preparation necessary for RF microneedling treatments is to meet with our providers to evaluate the areas of your face or neck that you want to be treated.
Recovery from Vivace® Microneedling
After RF microneedling, there may be some redness and swelling in the treatment area. This typically resolves in a few hours. In the days following treatment, small scabs often form in the treatment area. These will flake off on their own. After this stage, your results will become visible. Some patients may need multiple treatment sessions to achieve optimal results.
