Vivace® RF Microneedling is an advanced medical-grade device that combines precision microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to support collagen stimulation and skin rejuvenation. By delivering controlled thermal energy into the deeper layers of the skin, Vivace is designed to assist with improvements in texture, firmness and overall skin quality. Suitable for a range of skin types, this technology offers a customisable, clinician-performed approach to dermal remodelling.
What is Vivace RF Microneedling?
As with traditional skin needling, hundreds of tiny perforations are made in the skin, inducing the body’s natural healing cascade to trigger the production of collagen, elastin, and growth factors. Collagen is the protein which provides the skin its firmness, support and structure, and this deteriorates over time. Loss of this skin support, thickness, and elasticity could potentially make pores appear larger and more stretched. Stimulating collagen may help support facial tightening and volumising, which in some cases may reduce the appearance of enlarged pores and fine lines. The tiny, sterile needles used in Vivace also act as conductors for radiofrequency energy, delivered into the dermis at approximately 3.5mm deep. This may amplify the skin’s collagen induction response, supporting skin tightening and pore appearance improvement in suitable patients.
How the Vivace Device Works
Vivace uses a precise array of ultrafine needles together with radiofrequency energy to target multiple layers of the skin.
- The device's microneedles create controlled micro-channels in the skin
- At the same time, RF energy passes through the needles, delivering thermal energy deep into the dermis
- This dual approach encourages collagen and elastin production to support firmer, smoother skin
Key device highlights include:
- Gold-tipped, insulated needles for targeted energy delivery
- Robotic motor precision to ensure consistent depth and comfort
- Customisable RF and depth settings to suit different treatment areas and patient needs.

Typical Treatment Experience
While this section describes what clinicians do with the device, it may be customised in practice:
- Setting are selected based on your skin assessment
- Treatment is performed with appropriate comfort and measures
- Downtime varies according to intensity and individual response
Your clinician will discuss what to expect and tailor the approach for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Vivace suitable for all skin types?
Some patients may not be suitable for this treatment, including those with:
- Active skin infections
- Certain medical conditions
- Recent significant sun exposure
- Specific medications affecting healing
Suitability is determined during consultation.
Does the device use heat?
Yes – RF energy is delivered through the needles to support collagen remodelling beneath the surface.
Does it carry Risks?
As with all medical procedures, Vivace RF Microneedling carries potential risks, which may include:
- Redness, swelling or bruising
- Temporary sensitivity or discomfort
- Pigment changes
- Infection (rare)
- Variable results between individuals
Your practitioner will discuss risks relevant to your individual case.
Is it safe?
Vivace is a TGA-registered medical device used under controlled conditions by trained clinicians. As with all medical procedures, there are potential risks, which your clinician will discuss with you during consultation.
