Laser Skin Rejuvenation
Microneedling & VIVACE™ RF
The newest generation of radiofrequency microneedling in Albuquerque. FDA-cleared, virtually pain-free, and designed for dramatic results with no downtime.
The VIVACE™ Experience in Albuquerque
We all want to look our best at any age — not overfilled and overstretched, just natural and radiant. We want to age gracefully, beautifully, and elegantly. Inevitably, fine lines and wrinkles set in, and now there is a simple, non-surgical treatment that will address those concerns and have you out to dinner the same night.
The VIVACE is the most revolutionary, best-in-class microneedling RF device on the market. This minimally invasive treatment stimulates the natural production of collagen and is shown to be effective in alleviating facial wrinkles and fine lines, and tightening and toning the face, neck, hands, and body.
At Bair Medical Spa, the VIVACE is part of our comprehensive laser skin rejuvenation program. Whether used as a standalone treatment or combined with other modalities like FotoFacial RF Pro or SmartSkin CO2 laser renewal, VIVACE delivers results that are both immediate and continue to improve over time with multiple treatments.
How VIVACE RF Microneedling Works
VIVACE combines two proven technologies — microneedling and radiofrequency energy — in a single, FDA-cleared device. Ultra-fine insulated needles penetrate the skin to a precise, controlled depth while simultaneously delivering radiofrequency energy into the dermis.
The microneedling component creates thousands of microscopic channels that trigger the skin's natural wound-healing response, stimulating new collagen and elastin production. The radiofrequency energy heats the deeper tissue layers, causing immediate tissue contraction and tightening while further amplifying the collagen remodeling process.
The insulated needle design ensures that RF energy is delivered only at the tip of each needle, deep within the skin, rather than at the surface. This protects the outer skin layer from heat damage and is the key reason VIVACE treatments are virtually pain-free with minimal redness and no downtime.

Ideal Candidates
VIVACE RF microneedling is suitable for a wide range of clients seeking non-surgical skin rejuvenation. You may be an ideal candidate if you are experiencing:
- Fine lines and wrinkles on the face, neck, or chest
- Loss of skin firmness or early skin laxity
- Enlarged pores or rough skin texture
- Acne scarring or other types of skin scarring
- Stretch marks on the body
- Uneven skin tone or dullness
- Sun damage from Albuquerque's high-altitude UV exposure
VIVACE is safe for all skin types and colors. Because the insulated needle technology delivers energy deep within the skin rather than at the surface, it avoids the risk of hyperpigmentation that can occur with some laser treatments on darker skin tones. Your Bair Medical Spa clinician will evaluate your skin and discuss your goals to determine if VIVACE is the right treatment for you.
What to Expect
Consultation & Preparation
Your clinician evaluates your skin, discusses your concerns and goals, and develops a customized treatment plan. A topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area approximately 30 minutes before the procedure for your comfort.
VIVACE Treatment
The VIVACE handpiece is passed over the treatment area, delivering precise microneedling and radiofrequency energy to the skin. The entire procedure typically takes 30 to 45 minutes depending on the treatment area. Most clients describe the sensation as a mild warmth.
Post-Treatment Serums
Following the microneedling, specialized serums are applied to the micro-channels created during treatment. These channels allow for significantly enhanced absorption of active ingredients, amplifying the rejuvenating effects of the serums.
Aftercare & Follow-Up
You can resume most normal activities immediately. Mild redness similar to a light sunburn may be present for a few hours. Your clinician provides aftercare instructions and schedules your next session for optimal results — typically four to six weeks later.
Recovery & Results
The VIVACE Experience provides the most dramatic results with virtually no pain and no downtime. Most clients notice an immediate improvement in skin tightness and glow right after their treatment. You can apply makeup the next day and return to all normal activities.
The results are both immediate and progressive. While you will see visible tightening and improved skin quality within days of your first treatment, the full benefits develop over the following weeks and months as your body produces new collagen and elastin. This collagen remodeling process continues for up to six months after treatment.
Optimal results are typically achieved with a series of three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart. Many clients choose to schedule annual maintenance treatments to sustain and build upon their results. The combination of immediate visible improvement and long-term collagen stimulation makes VIVACE one of the most effective non-surgical rejuvenation treatments available in Albuquerque.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-channels stimulate the body's natural healing response, triggering new collagen and elastin production. The result is smoother, firmer, more youthful-looking skin with improved texture and tone.
What is VIVACE RF microneedling?
VIVACE is the newest generation of radiofrequency microneedling. It combines precision microneedling with radiofrequency energy delivered directly into the skin through insulated needles. The RF energy heats the deeper layers of skin, amplifying collagen stimulation beyond what microneedling alone can achieve. VIVACE is FDA-cleared and designed for an incomparable, comfortable patient experience with virtually no pain and no downtime.
Is microneedling painful?
The VIVACE device is specifically designed for patient comfort. Most clients describe the sensation as a mild warmth or light pressure. A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. The VIVACE is engineered to be virtually pain-free, and most clients find the experience quite tolerable.
How many sessions do I need?
Most clients see significant improvement after a single VIVACE treatment, but optimal results are typically achieved with a series of three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart. Your Bair Medical Spa clinician will develop a customized treatment plan based on your skin concerns and desired outcomes. Maintenance treatments may be recommended once or twice a year.
What does microneedling treat?
VIVACE RF microneedling effectively treats facial wrinkles and fine lines, skin laxity, uneven skin texture and tone, enlarged pores, acne scarring, stretch marks, and overall skin dullness. It can be used on the face, neck, hands, and body to tighten and rejuvenate the skin.
What is the downtime after VIVACE treatment?
One of the most appealing aspects of VIVACE is that there is virtually no downtime. Most clients experience mild redness similar to a light sunburn that resolves within a few hours. You can apply makeup the next day, and many clients return to their normal activities — including dinner out — the same evening as their treatment.
