Safe, Effective Microneedling & Skin Tightening in Atlanta, GA
Microneedling RF is a safe, non-surgical, and straightforward way to address the signs of aging with little to no downtime. Radiofrequency (RF) provides heat that stimulates collagen production which has been found to lead to tighter, younger looking skin. Optimal results are created when the radio frequency is combined with the microneedling.

Vivace Fractional Microneedling and RF
Vivace is FDA approved for skin tightening and is the newest generation of microneedling devices, as it incorporates radio frequency and LED. It is a non-surgical treatment for contouring and firming tissue on the face, neck, hands, and body.
Your natural collagen is stimulated, which helps with skin texture and appearance. But best of all, the procedure is relatively painless, has no downtime, and can be performed all year round. Patients can return to work the next day, and no one will know that any procedure or treatment was completed.
The microneedling technology resurfaces the skin by stimulating the natural production of collagen. The result is a reduction in pore size and softening of fine lines and wrinkles. Because Vivace stimulates collagen production, it also helps with the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks. Treatment can also do the following:
- Alleviate wrinkles and fine lines
- Tighten skin
- Minimize pore size
- Improve skin tone and texture
- Immediate results, no downtime, and virtually pain-free
- Help with acne
What is RF Microneedling and How Does it Work?
Most patients require three treatments, spaced four to six weeks apart, for optimal skin resurfacing. Single treatment protocols are possible depending on the treatment area and desired outcome.
The actual treatment takes only 45 minutes on average. Please allow 30 minutes before surgery for the numbing cream to be applied.
Vivace vs. Laser Treatments and Ultherapy
All three treatments use different technology and target different tissue. Lasers use light energy that affects areas of hyper-pigmentation. For that reason, lasers are perfect to help with the appearance of broken blood vessels, spider veins, and discoloration of the skin. Microneedling is a mechanical method of creating thousands of tiny channels of injury, prompting the affected area to heal.
Microneedling is not selective, like a laser, but treats the entire area of skin and promotes collagen rejuvenation and skin turnover. Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy and targets the soft tissues deep within the skin. All three treatments can be used together to address skin texture, elastic tissue relaxation, and skin discoloration.
