    Vivace is a relatively new non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin. The healing time after a Vivace treatment can vary depending on a number of factors, including the individual's skin type, the area being treated, and the number of sessions. In general, most patients can expect to see some redness and swelling immediately after the treatment, which typically resolves within a few hours to a couple of days. Some patients may also experience mild bruising or tenderness, but this usually disappears within a week. Collagen production takes time, and it can take several weeks to several months to see the full results of a Vivace treatment. During this time, it's important to follow your doctor's aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and to optimize the results. To promote healing and minimize the risk of complications, you may be advised to: 1. Avoid direct sunlight and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. 2. Avoid hot tubs, saunas, and intense exercise for at least 24 hours after the treatment. 3. Keep the treated area clean and dry. 4. Avoid applying makeup or using skincare products for at least 24 hours. It's important to note that everyone's skin is different, and the healing time after a Vivace treatment may vary. If you have any concerns or questions about your healing process, it's best to consult with your plastic surgeon or medical aesthetician. They can provide personalized advice based on your individual situation and help you achieve the best possible results.
