How Vivace RF microneedling works, in a 30 second film
Vivace RF microneedling at BL Aesthetics, in 30 seconds. The film plays without sound.
Vivace is a minimally invasive fractional RF microneedling treatment developed by Aesthetics Biomedical. It pairs microneedling with radiofrequency.
Before treatment, a topical numbing cream is applied for comfort.
-
1Tiny needles
The handpiece places tiny needles into the skin. They create micro-injuries, which stimulates collagen production.
-
2Heat in the lower dermis
RF energy travels through the needles as heat to the lower dermis, which further promotes collagen and elastin production.
-
3Fresh collagen and elastin
Your body responds by producing fresh collagen and elastin. Over time, this can help improve skin texture and tone.

What clients say
The treatment has reduced prominent, deep lines around my mouth and eyes, smoothed my complexion, and made me feel more confident not wearing makeup everywhere I go.
I recently had radio frequency microneedling with BL Aesthetics, and I am extremely pleased with both the experience and the results. From the moment I walked in, Bree was welcoming, professional, and attentive.
This is the greatest skin care service I have ever received. I have tried much of the other trendy skin treatments in the past which didn’t really deliver the results I was hoping for.
Quoted from Google reviews, October 2026. Highlights added. Individual results vary.

Questions before you book
Still deciding? Call 520.496.6821.
How many treatments will I need?
The usual plan is three initial treatments, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Full results show around six months, and periodic booster sessions help keep them going.
How long does a treatment take?
Numbing cream goes on for about 30 minutes, for comfort. Time with the device is about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. For scars, it can take about 2 minutes.
Where can Vivace be used?
On the face, neck, and body, including crepey skin and stretch marks. Bree has also used it on one client’s surgical scars; see the case study above. For much larger scars or burn wounds, a physician visit may be the right call.
Can I combine it with wrinkle relaxer injections?
Yes. Wrinkle relaxer injections relax the muscle and RF microneedling rebuilds the skin. Start RF microneedling 4 weeks after an injection, or have the injection 2 weeks after RF microneedling.
Is the consultation free?
Yes. Your visit starts with a free consultation about your skin concerns and whether RF microneedling is right for you.
How fast will I hear back?
Within 24 hours. You can also call, send a text, or message BL Aesthetics on Instagram or Facebook.
