Breaking News: The Best Skincare Couple of 2018

By now you know how excited we are here at Green Dermatology & Cosmetic Center, a premier medical and cosmetic dermatology center near Boca, about having the latest in micro-needling technologies available for our clients.

Vivace is the non-surgical treatment used to contour and tighten the face, neck, hands, and body by stimulating the natural production of collagen with the use of radio frequency. It is said to reduce fine lines and wrinkles in just one visit, leaving customers with impressive results.

We love seeing clients leave our office, located in East Deerfield Beach, satisfied with the outcome of their treatment. When it comes to Vivace Microneedling, that is perhaps the best benefit of the treatment — immediate satisfaction. And it only gets better over time.

The benefits are great, and we hope that by sharing them, we can help qualm any fears you may have about micro needling.

Our top three favorite benefits of Vivace Microneedling include:

• As mentioned, the number one benefit of Vivace is quick results, producing visible changes as soon as you leave the office. Serums or recovery protocols are usually recommended following the procedure to help create optimal results.

• Secondly, there is ZERO pain involved. Vivace feels like light pressure to the face, with an occasional, light sparking a feeling. A numbing cream is applied 30 to 45 minutes prior to the procedure, which helps with the comfort level of the experience.

• There is also NO social downtime. You will be able to go out at night with little to no indication that you received the treatment earlier that day.

Aside from getting a Vivace treatment on its own, there is also the option to add in PRP, which involves the injection of plasma — a component of the blood that has special proteins to help blood clot and support cell growth — to help the body grow new, healthy cells and promote healing. PRP is sometimes referred to as the “Vampire Facial,” which, according to Allure, is a favorite treatment of celebrities such as Kim Kardashian West and Bar Rafaeli, and is essentially a facial that uses your own blood to help promote the healthy activity of your skin cells. It may sound scary, but it’s relatively painless!

The process starts with the drawing of blood and then running that blood through a specific type of equipment that will isolate the platelets – portions of the blood that contain high levels of growth factors that help to stimulate cell turnover. This is where the coupling of PRP and micro needling comes into play. Before the PRPs are applied to your face, you’ll receive a micro-needling treatment, like Vivace, to enhance the penetration of the PRP into the skin.

So, what makes it a good idea to use Vivace Microneedling with PRP?

According to a case study about micro-needling with PRP for facial rejuvenation, the combination of the two is a successful pairing. A 60-year-old patient chose to receive treatment of collagen induction therapy with micro needling in conjunction with PRP, which was applied to the face immediately prior to and after treatment with the micro needling pen. The results were as follows:

Immediate improvement was noted in skin firmness and radiance. The patient noted the most significant improvement at the 1-month post-treatment session with an improvement of fine lines, skin texture, and hydration as well as subtle skin tightening.

The doctors note that PRP used in conjunction with micro needling offers a minimally invasive option, with minimal downtime and long-lasting effects. They believe that this outcome is because of the “additional growth factors and cytokines from the PRP act synergistically with the already stimulated neocollagenesis secondary to the needling leading to more rapid collagen remodeling.”

To conclude, Vivace Microneedling with PRP is nothing to be afraid of. It doesn’t hurt, there is no downtime, and it shows instant results. What more do you need?
