About RF Microneedling

Newport Beach, CA board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Sean Kelishadi uses an exceptional approach that creates excellent results for our patients with a treatment known as radiofrequency (RF) microneedling with Vivace technology. Using sterile, gold-plated needles combined with carefully controlled radiofrequency energy, Vivace RF microneedling helps to reduce pore size, wrinkles, and stretch marks on the skin. RF laser treatments have been around for many years and are well-known in the cosmetic industry for skin tightening. This particular type of laser treatment uses heat to stimulate the production of collagen in the deeper layers of the skin to create a tighter, smoother surface. This technique can be used with microneedling to optimize the results. At SSK Plastic Surgery, we often add this new advancement to our Newport Beach, CA patient's skin care treatments to create firmer skin with a smoother texture and a glowing complexion.

About Vivace™

Vivace is a state-of-the-art RF microneedling device that works to stimulate the production of new collagen in the skin. By combining microneedling with blue and red light radiofrequency energy, Vivace uses wound healing mechanisms to create micro-injuries to the skin in order to promote regeneration. The Vivace handheld device consists of small gold-plated needles, as well as radiofrequency energy to penetrate the skin and stimulate the regeneration of collagen and elastin. While the red-light radiofrequency energy promotes collagen production, the blue-light energy works to decrease oil production. The Vivace robotic monitor also helps to decrease discomfort associated with RF microneedling while still providing desirable results. 

Dr. Kelishadi is amazing! I love how attentive he is and gives you great advice on what you should get done or shouldn't. I've been to different surgeon offices and I always find myself booking another appointment with his office instead. The ladies at his office are another reason why I keep coming as well, such sweet and friendly ladies. I love how Every time I come they are super welcoming and I don't feel like I'm being judged! I've been to Offices before where I feel like I'm bugging the staff or when I'm asking questions they answer very annoyed. Here! They answer all your questions with concern and very kindly. Thank you Shae & Alex for being great customer service representatives & following up on my appointment reminders! I've had a hydra facial + Vivace done at his office. Which I definitely recommend, I should probably book another hydra-facial while I'm writing this review. Also, I've had my breast done elsewhere but will be contacting Dr. K once I'm ready for new boobies. I'll be referring all my clients, friends, staff, and family to Dr. Kelishadi FIVE STARS FROM ISABELLA

I.C. Yelp

I highly recommend Dr. Kelishadi and his staff. I use Vivace Microneedling quarterly as my primary anti-aging tool. Vivace is different from most products on the market because its also has radiofrequency which stimulates more collagen production. This is absolutely the best way to stay looking young and looking young is all about prevention.

I have found my home for cosmetic work and more! I’ve had several cosmetic procedures here, including the greatest filler work I’ve ever had from Krystal. She rolled back the years on my face while keeping me looking like, well, me! I just finished my third round of Vivace micro needling and I now know that not all micro needling is created equal. The results have been simply astounding and this is one treatment I will be keeping in my routine. It did so much to eliminate lines and wrinkles, reduced areas of melasma, and even faded scars where I had experienced hypopigmentation and had white spots! It far exceeded my expectations. The most unexpected decision I made was to work with Krystal and Sherry on getting a hormonal panel done and getting the Biote hormone pellets. I didn’t know that I could feel this good! I’m sleeping better, my hot flashes and night sweats have gone away, my drive to get things done (along with the energy to do it) has come back, I’ve lost five pounds without trying, and my workouts are amazing again. I feel like I did in my early 20s. I can’t recommend this team enough. They have brought so much vitality and value back into my life, not to mention keeping me aesthetically in tip-top shape.

M.S. Yelp

Today I received my first micro needling treatment with nurse Krystal. I have been hesitant for years to get this done, but finally decided it was time. I could not be happier with my experience, from them moment I walked in, nurse Kahyana was so pleasant and gave me water while I waited. This procedure did not hurt at all, actually it was so relaxing that I fell asleep. I left the office with my face being a little pink and woke up this morning so dewy and glowy!!! And apparently it gets better after a few weeks, I already made my next appointment with Valerie, who was very sweet and informative! I highly recommend ssk! I love my skin!

Ideal Candidates

If you are 40 years of age or older and are starting to notice discoloration, smile lines, age spots, and other skin problems (that can come with age and sun exposure), RF microneedling might be the perfect treatment for you. RF microneedling may be an excellent choice if you wish to:

  • Tighten the skin, producing a more refreshed appearance
  • Enhance skin texture, tone, and pigment
  • Repair skin irregularities such as blood vessels and discoloration
  • Reduce the appearance of age spots and sun damage
  • Treat acne scars and other forms of scarring
  • Rejuvenate skin for a younger, glowing look

Procedure Technique

The Vivace device is rolled gently against the skin to puncture and create micro-injuries that "disrupt" the cells and produce collagen. Some also refer to this as collagen induction therapy. New skin grows as the skin heals, leaving the top layer feeling and looking smoother, brighter, and rejuvenated. While this procedure is usually performed by itself, combining this advanced technique with the Vivace radiofrequency technology has allowed us to optimize the results for our patients.

The method is quite straightforward. The handheld device, which emits radiofrequency heat, works by delivering short pulses of RF energy through an array of 25 sterilized, gold-plated micro-needles. The energy is transmitted through the needles, which simultaneously punctures the skin and circles back the electrodes on the skin. The RF energy heats at levels that provide cumulative and ongoing benefits.

About Us

What to Expect

RF microneedling treatment will take place inside the SSK Plastic Surgery office with the use of a numbing cream to minimize discomfort. During your appointment, the Vivace handheld device will roll over the desired area, repeating the process until the desired results have been reached. Patients should expect minute pinpoint scabs to appear 24 – 72 hours after treatment, which will naturally shed when the underlying micro-injury has healed. Results become visible as skin heals over the 3 – 4 weeks after having a microneedling with RF procedure. Optimal results usually call for 3 – 4 treatments 3 – 4 weeks apart.

How much does it cost?

The cost of your Vivace RF microneedling treatment will vary on your condition and the number of treatment sessions needed to achieve the best results. During your first visit, our team can go over all your questions and estimate the cost of your treatment.

How many treatments will I need?

Each patient is unique and some individuals may need more treatments than others. Dr. Kelishadi will take his time to perform a thorough assessment to help determine the appropriate number of sessions for you. On average, most patients receive 3 – 4 treatments spaced one month apart.

Benefits?

Vivace RF microneedling is safe and effective for most skin types and can be used on almost any area of the face or body. This laser treatment offers stunning results and minimal downtime compared to a surgical facelift or body lift. RF microneedling is also a great option if you want to refresh the overall appearance of your skin.

Does it hurt?

Since a topical numbing cream is applied to the target area, most patients experience little to no discomfort during treatment.

Custom treatment?

Dr. Kelishadi will create a custom treatment plan for you after your initial consultation. He understands that every patient is different and will take his time to listen to your specific concerns to help you achieve your cosmetic goals safely and effectively.
