As we age, our skin’s natural ability to produce collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for firmness and elasticity, begins to slow down. This decline often leads to the appearance of fine lines, enlarged pores, and a loss of skin "bounce." At The Center of Dermatology in Omaha, NE, Dr. Herschel E. Stoller, MD, and our team provide a sophisticated solution to these concerns through advanced microneedling treatments.
By utilizing state-of-the-art Vivace technology, we offer a results-oriented approach to skin rejuvenation that is more effective and comfortable than traditional microneedling methods.
How Microneedling Works
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, works by creating thousands of microscopic, controlled "channels" in the skin’s surface using fine needles. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural wound-healing response. As the skin repairs itself, it produces a fresh supply of collagen and elastin, which thickens the skin and smooths out imperfections from the inside out.
The Vivace Difference: Microneedling Meets Radiofrequency
What sets the Vivace technology apart is its combination of two powerful anti-aging treatments: microneedling and Radiofrequency (RF) energy.
During a Vivace session, the device’s superfine needles deliver thermal RF energy deep into the dermis. This heat further stimulates collagen production and provides a tightening effect that traditional microneedling cannot achieve alone. Because the RF energy is delivered via insulated needles, the surface of the skin remains protected, leading to faster healing times and more dramatic results.
Benefits of Vivace Microneedling
Patients at our Omaha, NE, practice choose Vivace microneedling to treat a wide variety of skin concerns on the face, neck, and body, including:
- Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Smoothing the appearance of "crow’s feet" and smile lines.
- Skin Tightening: Firming lax skin along the jawline and neck.
- Acne Scarring: Breaking down scar tissue and encouraging healthy skin regeneration.
- Pore Reduction: Refining skin texture for a smoother, clearer complexion.
- Minimal Downtime: Unlike more aggressive lasers, Vivace allows most patients to return to their daily activities with only a slight flush to the skin.
Your Treatment Experience
At The Center of Dermatology, your comfort is a priority. Before the procedure, a numbing cream is applied to ensure a virtually painless experience. The Vivace device is highly customizable, allowing Dr. Stoller to adjust the depth of the needles and the intensity of the RF energy based on your specific skin type and aesthetic goals.
Results are often visible after just one treatment, though a series of sessions is typically recommended for optimal collagen remodeling.
