Without damaging the surface, it reaches the dermis in a controlled way and boosts collagen and elastin production. Radiofrequency energy delivered through gold-plated microneedles tightens, firms and smooths the skin. It brings a visible improvement in enlarged pores, acne scars, loss of elasticity and wrinkles.
How Does Gold Needle Vivace Work?
The tip of the Vivace device carries many fine, gold-plated microneedles that touch the skin in a controlled way. They reach a set depth and release radiofrequency energy at the same time. The micro-channels they create trigger the skin's own repair process, while the radiofrequency warms these areas from within, tightening collagen fibres and stimulating new collagen. Surface irregularities are reduced and the skin structure is strengthened from below. The result is firmer, livelier skin with tighter pores and softer scars.
When Is It Recommended?
Gold Needle Vivace is a strong option for many skin concerns that classic facials struggle to resolve. It can be included in a treatment plan for acne and pitted acne scars, enlarged pores, skin laxity, fine wrinkles, uneven tone and mild pigmentation. Beyond the face, it can be used on the neck, décolleté and some body areas to tighten the skin. For both women and men it is seen as a long-term investment in skin quality.
How Is the Treatment Performed?
Before treatment the skin is assessed in detail, and the depth and energy settings are chosen for each target area. The skin is then cleansed and an anaesthetic cream is applied for comfort. The Vivace handpiece is moved over the area in controlled passes. At each contact point the microneedles enter and leave the skin within milliseconds while radiofrequency energy is delivered to the dermis. Depending on the area, the treatment takes around 20 to 40 minutes. Mild redness and warmth may follow and settle within a short time.
What Changes Can You Expect?
After the sessions the skin first feels slightly tighter and firmer. As collagen production increases over time, acne scars soften, pores look smaller, fine lines diminish and the skin tone becomes more even. The skin looks fuller, firmer and smoother. The aim is a skin texture that reflects light better, holds make-up well and looks healthier even without it.
Number of Sessions and Duration of Results
Gold Needle Vivace works best as a planned course rather than a single miracle session. Most people follow a protocol of three to four sessions, usually about four weeks apart. The renewal process started in the skin continues after the sessions are complete. Results last a long time and can be extended further with a good skincare routine, sun protection and healthy habits.
Which Areas Can Be Treated?
It is most often used on the face, especially the cheeks, forehead, chin, around the nose and along the forehead and temples. It is also a strong choice for fine wrinkles, loss of elasticity and sun damage on the neck and décolleté. In some cases, areas of the body with stretch marks or scars can be treated with the doctor's planning. This makes it possible to achieve firmer, more toned skin not only on the face but across the whole upper body.
Frequently asked questions
Is Gold Needle Vivace painful?
Thanks to the anaesthetic cream applied beforehand, discomfort is minimal. You may feel slight pricking and warmth, and most people complete the treatment comfortably.
How long does the redness last?
Redness and mild sensitivity usually fade within a few hours. In sensitive skin they may last up to 24 hours.
Which skin types is it suitable for?
It can be safely used on most skin types, whether oily, combination, dry or sensitive. Active infection, dermatitis or pregnancy require a doctor's assessment.
What is the difference between Gold Needle and Dermapen?
Dermapen only performs microneedling, while Gold Needle Vivace delivers radiofrequency energy at the same time. This means stronger tightening, more visible improvement in scars and longer-lasting results.
Results vary from person to person. Whether this treatment is right for you is decided together with our specialist at your consultation.
