How Vivace works
Vivace combines controlled microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate your skin’s natural collagen production. The device creates precise microchannels while delivering heat below the surface, prompting a wound‑healing response and gradual tissue remodeling. This process is FDA approved to alleviate facial wrinkles and lines while toning the face, neck, and body.
Because collagen remodeling unfolds over weeks and months, improvements in texture, firmness and the appearance of scars or stretch marks develop gradually. Vivace is described as highly effective for scars and stretch marks, but individual outcomes vary; your clinician will discuss realistic expectations and recommend a tailored plan rather than promising a specific result.
What to expect
Your appointment at AZ Laser RX in North Scottsdale runs about 90 MINUTES for one treatment area. The listed price is $499 for one area; add‑ons such as chest and décolleté are available for an additional discounted fee. Before needling, we complete a clinical review and topical preparation so you understand the plan and aftercare.
Most clients report temporary redness, mild swelling or pinpoint bleeding immediately after treatment; these effects typically subside within days. Our team provides clear aftercare instructions and reviewers appreciated that staff explained procedures carefully and made themselves available for follow‑up questions. We advise planning appointments around outdoor activities and sun exposure in Scottsdale’s desert climate.
Choosing a treatment plan
During your consultation a clinician assesses skin type, scarring, lines and the areas you want treated, then recommends options for the face, neck or body. Reviews highlight that AZ Laser RX staff deliver personalized plans and prioritize outcomes; expect a discussion about realistic goals, possible sequencing of sessions, and whether chest or décolleté add‑ons make sense for your needs.
We consider timing, lifestyle and sun exposure when building plans — many clients schedule sessions in March, April, September or October to align with seasonal skin renewal and recovery from summer sun. Because commuters and outdoor enthusiasts frequent North Scottsdale, flexible early‑morning and late‑afternoon appointments are commonly requested for convenience around golf, hiking and work commitments.
