About the VIVACE
VIVACE is a radiofrequency microneedling device marketed by Aesthetics Biomedical of Phoenix, Arizona, and manufactured in Korea by SHENB. Its 36 gold-tip needles are insulated except for the last 0.4 mm, and a robotic step motor inserts them into the skin. At the tip, the needles release bipolar radiofrequency into the dermis.
Aesthetics Biomedical describes the device as FDA-cleared and lists fine lines and wrinkles, skin tightening, pore size, and skin tone and texture among its uses. At MED YU MED the VIVACE is used for tightening, texture and pores on the face and neck, including the area around the eyes, and on body areas.

How RF microneedling works
The needles open microscopic channels into the dermis, and the device delivers RF energy at 31 different depths. Aesthetics Biomedical describes the effect as fractional electrocoagulation in the dermis: a controlled injury that starts a natural wound-healing process and remodels collagen and elastin. The needles are insulated except at the end, so the energy goes into the dermis while the epidermis is spared.
The robotic motor controls insertion. Aesthetics Biomedical states that it creates fast, even and minimally traumatic insertions, and that the chevron-pattern circuit distributes heat evenly to reduce redness, hot spots and discomfort. The device also carries blue and red LEDs; the manufacturer states that pulses of light activate skin cells to increase collagen production and skin moisture.
RF microneedling carries heat into the dermis. In October 2025 the US FDA warned that serious complications, including burns, scarring, fat loss, disfigurement and nerve damage, have been reported with certain uses of RF microneedling devices. That is why the clinician reviews your skin, medical history and any implants and sets depth and energy for each zone. Risks and contraindications are on the VIVACE treatment page.

Frequently asked questions about the device
What is the VIVACE?
It is a radiofrequency microneedling device marketed by Aesthetics Biomedical in the United States and manufactured in Korea by SHENB. A robotic motor inserts 36 insulated, gold-tip needles that deliver bipolar RF energy into the dermis.
How deep do the VIVACE needles go?
The manufacturer lists a depth range of 0.5 to 3.5 mm with 31 robotic depth adjustments. The needles are insulated except for the last 0.4 mm, so the energy is released at the tip.
What does the robotic motor do?
It controls how the needles enter the skin. Aesthetics Biomedical states that its robotic step motor creates fast, even and minimally traumatic insertions. Numbing cream is applied first, and sensation still varies by area and by person.
Which RF frequencies does the VIVACE use?
The manufacturer lists 1 MHz and 2 MHz radiofrequency, delivered as 70-watt patterned bipolar RF through a chevron circuit that distributes heat evenly.
