VIVACE is a radiofrequency microneedling device built for comfort and control by Aesthetics Biomedical in the United States. Thirty-six insulated, gold-tipped needles enter the skin through a motorised, robotic mechanism rather than a hand-driven stamp. That powered insertion is the difference patients notice first: the needles advance at a controlled speed and depth instead of being pushed in by hand.
Once the needles reach depth, they release radiofrequency to heat the dermis and trigger collagen, while the insulation keeps the energy at the tip and the surface takes less heat than it would from an ablative laser. The clinician tunes needle depth and energy to each area; the manufacturer offers 31 depth settings down to 3.5 mm in 0.1 mm steps, which is what allows delicate zones and lax areas to be treated in the same session at different settings.
An integrated LED step follows the needling. Red and blue light run over the treated skin to calm it and support the result: red to settle inflammation and aid recovery, blue at 470 nm to address the bacteria linked with breakouts. It finishes the session without adding downtime of its own.
That combination — controlled insertion, tunable RF and an LED finish — makes VIVACE a steady choice for tightening, refining texture, shrinking pores and softening fine lines. At MED YU MED it runs on the face and neck, including the area around the eyes, and on body areas such as the abdomen, hips, buttocks, knees and hands.
The clinician sometimes presses a serum or PRP into the fresh micro-channels immediately after needling, while the channels are open, to carry active ingredients deeper than they would reach on their own. VIVACE usually runs as a course rather than a single visit, with sessions spaced a few weeks apart.
Comfort is good for a microneedling treatment, helped by numbing cream and the motorised insertion, though sensation varies by area and individual. Downtime stays short: redness for a day or so rather than a true peel, sometimes with a faint grid pattern where the needles ran. It is still a needling treatment that carries heat into the dermis: in October 2025 the US FDA warned that serious complications have been reported with certain uses of RF microneedling devices, including burns, scarring, fat loss, disfigurement and nerve damage, some needing surgical repair or medical intervention. That is why the clinician reviews your skin, history and any implants, sets the depth per zone and treats the eye area with particular care.
Results build over the months that follow rather than appearing at once, and they vary between individuals. To book, see RF microneedling treatment and prices. For how RF lifting compares across the clinic's platforms, see RF lifting in Dubai: methods and devices.
