Microneedling treatments have become increasingly popular in recent years among Medical Spa patients and providers. Microneedling was first used in 1995 by Dr. Desmond Fernandes in Philadelphia to treat wrinkles and scars with hypodermic needles. Microneedling—also known as collagen induction therapy— is a minimally invasive skincare procedure that uses tiny, sterilized needles to create micro-injuries in your skin. This boosts your body’s ability to rejuvenate the skin, minimize fine lines, and improve overall texture. Two standout options that we offer at Premier are SkinPen and Vivace. Both treatments offer impressive results for anti-aging treatments. They differ in technique, benefits, and ideal candidates. Here’s a closer look at each option to help you make an informed choice.
What Is SkinPen?
SkinPen is a trusted, FDA-cleared microneedling device known for its simplicity and effectiveness. It uses tiny, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating your body’s natural healing process. This leads to increased collagen production, which improves skin texture, reduces the appearance of acne scars, and minimizes fine lines. SkinPen is a straightforward procedure with little to no downtime, making it a great choice if you are looking for a solid introduction to microneedling. It’s a versatile treatment suitable for all skin types. It is especially effective for individuals wanting to target acne scars or early signs of aging.
What Sets Vivace Apart?
Vivace takes microneedling to the next level! It combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy and LED light therapy. This powerful combination enhances collagen and elastin production, offering not just skin rejuvenation but also tighter, firmer skin. Vivace is particularly effective for addressing deeper wrinkles, and improving skin tone. While the treatment is minimally invasive, it does tend to have a slightly longer recovery time than SkinPen due to its use of RF energy. It’s a top-notch choice for those seeking more advanced anti-aging benefits or noticeable skin tightening.
Talk to Your Provider!
The best treatment for you depends on your skin’s unique needs and your personal goals. If you are new to microneedling or primarily wish to improve texture and tone, SkinPen offers a reliable and effective solution. On the other hand, if you’re looking for a more advanced option to tackle issues like mild sagging or deeper lines, Vivace might be worth considering. Factors like downtime, budget, and long-term goals also play a role.
Whether you opt for SkinPen or Vivace, know that both treatments offer a path to healthier, revitalized skin on the face, neck, and chest. By understanding the unique benefits of each, our qualified providers are trained to help you to feel confident in choosing the option that will help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
