What Is One of The Top Skin Treatment Options For All Complexions in 2018?

Treating darker skin has proven to have its limitations in the past, and until recent years we had to dig to find aesthetic treatments for African-American men and women. Cultures with darker complexions always faced challenges when it came to safe treatments. Most skin rejuvenation lasers were completely out of the question for dark complexions, and micro-needling always left estheticians with the worry of pigmentation issues. So, why is this new kid on the block for skin rejuvenation? The procedure that is changing the scope of skin rejuvenation for all skin types is called Vivace RF – and it’s one of the Top Skin Treatment Options for 2018.

Who Can Benefit From This Top Skin Treatment?

Vivace RF can be ideal for all complexions – and both men and women who desire to improve their skin quality. Vivace RF was FDA-Cleared in December of 2016 and entered the Aesthetic World in early 2017. This Skin Rejuvenation Treatment combines Radiofrequency and Micro-Needling and has shown promising results when it comes to improving overall skin quality. It includes tightening of the skin in just two treatments. Though tightening the skin isn’t always the first concern for men and women with darker complexions, both skin tone and hyperpigmentation are.

What About Acne and Acne Scars?

The kicker for folks suffering from acne and acne scars is that Vivace RF can improve active acne with one treatment and can reduce acne scars visibly after three to four treatments. 

Prior to Vivace RF, there was little we could do for our patients with acute acne outside of medication, harsh acne lotions, and serums. Micro-Needling or even facials were off-limits for fear that bacteria could spread and make the outbreak worse.

Does Vivace RF Tighten Loose Skin and Improve Skin Tone?

The biggest problem with the aging process has, and will always be, skin laxity and complexion changes. Of course, everybody claims their Top Skin Treatment can fix it all, but those claims often apply to a small group of people. Vivace RF produces incredibly results when it comes to loose skin on the face and neck. The system can also be used for other parts of the body. Many women have stretch marks after giving birth and also experience weight loss and weight gain. Vivace RF can be used to treat these conditions – and for certain types of scars. Of course, it won’t take the place of traditional plastic surgery, but it also does not require surgery or downtime.

Vivace RF Promises to Improve Overall Skin Texture and Could Even Reduce Pore Size and Acne Scars. But What About Pigmentation Issues? We Thought You’d Ask!

There haven’t been any visual problems with dark spots or areas of hyperpigmentation as a result of Vivace RF in our office thus far. Quite the contrary, in fact, we’ve noted improvement in skin tone and texture in men and women with complexion issues. This Top Skin Treatment seems to produce even more impressive results when combined with growth factors derived from Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and Amnion. 

Depending on which office you visit, there may be specific aftercare products recommended for each skin type. The one thing we’re all happy about is the overall improvement in skin quality that can be seen after a single treatment. Significant improvement in skin texture and pore size, plus the reduction of scars, was noted after the second treatment.

In Closing

The recommended treatment protocol for most patients is three to four treatments placed four to six weeks apart. Maintenance protocols can be discussed with our esthetician and Dr. Slater, our double board-certified physician.
