KEY BENEFITS

Vivace® RF addresses multiple concerns in one treatment—delivering subtle, natural improvements that enhance your features without changing who you are.

REFINED TEXTURE & PORES

Smooths rough patches and minimizes enlarged pores for a polished, even surface that catches light beautifully.

SOFTER FINE LINES

Stimulates deep collagen production to gently soften fine lines around eyes, mouth, and forehead over time.

IMPROVED ACNE SCARRING

Gradually reduces shallow acne scarring through controlled collagen remodeling beneath the skin's surface.

SUBTLE LIFTING & TIGHTENING

Targets deeper layers for firmer skin along jawline, cheeks, and neck—without looking pulled or overdone.

BRIGHTER, EVEN TONE

Enhances radiance and balances uneven pigmentation for fresh, naturally luminous skin.

MINIMAL DOWNTIME

Most clients experience 1-2 days of mild redness before resuming routines. Makeup often possible after 24 hours.

WHAT IS VIVACE RF MICRONEEDLING?

Vivace RF device

FDA-CLEARED TECHNOLOGY

Vivace® RF combines ultra-fine, gold-tipped needles with controlled radiofrequency heat energy to stimulate collagen and elastin at deeper layers of the dermis. This dual approach—mechanical puncture plus thermal stimulus—triggers your skin's natural repair cascade more effectively than traditional microneedling alone.

At Le Kitsuné, we use varying depths and energy levels customized to your unique goals, anatomy, and skin history. This thoughtful calibration ensures optimal results while respecting your natural contours.

Not plastic surgery or laser: RF microneedling is conservative, non-ablative, and designed for gradual improvement over 3-6 months.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW LONG DO RESULTS LAST?
Results develop over 3-6 months as collagen rebuilds. Most clients maintain with 1-2 treatments per year. Longevity depends on age, skin quality, lifestyle, and genetics.
DOES IT HURT?
With 30-45 minutes of topical numbing, most describe it as warm pressure or tingling. Tolerable for most—less intense than you might expect.
HOW MUCH DOWNTIME?
Expect 1-2 days of redness (similar to mild sunburn). Most return to work the next day. Makeup typically okay after 24 hours. Mild flaking possible days 3-5.
HOW MANY SESSIONS DO I NEED?
Most see optimal results with 3 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Some may benefit from 1-2 additional treatments depending on goals and starting condition.
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?
Initial glow within days. Progressive improvement over 3-6 months as collagen remodels. Results are gradual and natural—not instant transformation.
CAN I COMBINE WITH OTHER TREATMENTS?
Yes. Many combine RF microneedling with our permanent makeup services, injectables (with timing coordination), or other skin treatments. Discuss your full plan during consultation.
