RF Needling

Vivace RF microneedling uses superfine, insulated needles together with radio frequency energy to create controlled microchannels in the skin and gently warm tissue at depth. This encourages collagen and elastin production and supports firmer, smoother and more refined skin.

Vivace RF skin needling is suited to clients whose primary concerns are texture, pores and early signs of ageing, along with mild laxity and certain types of scarring.

Vivace RF skin needling benefits clients looking to:

• Soften fine lines and early wrinkles
• Refine enlarged pores and uneven or rough texture
• Improve the appearance of selected acne scarring
• Support stronger, more resilient skin quality
• Achieve a smoother, more polished finish for bare skin and makeup

Vivace RF skin needling is most commonly used on the face, neck and décolletage. It can also be extended to areas such as the hands or selected body zones where skin quality needs support, provided your skin is suitable, and the plan allows for it.

Needle depth and RF intensity are adjusted for each area so treatment remains effective and comfortable. Your aesthetic therapist will advise which zones are appropriate for your skin and how to incorporate them into your program.

A topical anaesthetic cream is typically applied before Vivace RF skin needling treatment to help the skin feel comfortably numb. Most clients describe the sensation as light pressure and warmth with a mild prickling feeling rather than pain.

Vivace RF skin needling programs are planned as a series of treatments rather than a single visit. Many clients need multiple sessions for best results, with treatment guidelines commonly recommending around five to six sessions, spaced three weeks apart, for general improvement in texture, pores and early lines.

At Skin By Sarah Hudson, the exact number of treatments is confirmed in consultation so that your program reflects the needs of your skin, your lifestyle and the level of change you would like to see.

You may notice a fresher glow and smoother texture once early redness has settled. As collagen and elastin rebuild in the weeks that follow, improvements in firmness, pores and scarring typically become more visible.

Results build across the full course of treatments and often continue to evolve beyond the final session, as ongoing remodelling supports tighter, more refined skin.

Downtime with Vivace RF skin needling is typically very limited, often between zero and three days.

Vivace RF skin needling can be tailored for many different skin types and tones. Depth, RF intensity, and pattern are adjusted to ensure effective treatment while respecting the skin’s natural sensitivity. It is often chosen for clients with darker complexions or a history of pigmentation concerns where other resurfacing options may carry a higher risk.

Suitability is always assessed in consultation. Your aesthetic therapist will consider your skin type, history of pigmentation and any current skin conditions before recommending Vivace RF skin needling and will only suggest treatment when it is safe and likely to deliver benefits for your skin.

Vivace RF skin needling often forms part of a broader skin program and can be combined with other non-surgical treatments when planned correctly. It may be used alongside LED therapy or selected laser treatments to support collagen and refine texture.

At Skin By Sarah Hudson, any combination plan is mapped out in consultation so that each treatment complements the others and your skin has adequate recovery time between visits.

TriLift RF skin needling uses advanced skin needling together with RF (radiofrequency) energy to create tiny micro-channels in the skin and gently warm tissue in the deeper layers. This stimulates collagen and elastin, which, over time, can support firmer, smoother, and more refined skin.

TriLift RF skin needling is suited to clients whose main concerns include wrinkles, texture and loss of firmness. TriLift RF skin needling benefits clients looking to:

• Soften fine lines and wrinkles
• Improve mild laxity and loss of firmness
• Refine rough or uneven texture
• Reduce the appearance of enlarged pores
• Support collagen and elastin for firmer, more resilient skin

TriLift RF skin needling is primarily used on the face. It can be focused on areas such as the cheeks, forehead, jawline, and lower face, where lines, pores, and changes in texture are most visible. It may also be used on the neck or décolletage.

Your aesthetic therapist will advise which areas are appropriate for your skin and how they can be included within your plan.

Compared to other RF skin needling devices, the TriLift RF skin needling provides a comfortable experience with less downtime and no use of numbing gel. Most clients describe the sensation as light pressure and warmth with a mild prickling feeling rather than pain.

TriLift RF skin needling is planned as a course of treatments rather than a single visit. Many clients require a series of sessions, spaced weeks apart, for the best improvement in lines, texture and pores.

At Skin By Sarah Hudson, the exact number of treatments is confirmed in consultation so that your program reflects the needs of your skin, your lifestyle and the level of change you would like to see.

Many clients notice early changes in smoothness and glow once initial redness settles. As collagen and elastin rebuild over the following weeks, fine lines, pores and texture usually become more refined, and the skin feels stronger and more supported. Results typically build over the course of treatment and can continue to evolve after the final session.

Downtime with TriLift RF skin needling is usually between one and three days and depends on the settings used and how your skin naturally heals.

TriLift RF skin needling can be tailored to many skin types and tones by adjusting depth and energy; however, it is not the right choice for everyone. Clients with a history of pigmentation or certain deeper skin tones may do better with Vivace RF needling, which aligns more closely with our protocols for pigment-prone skin and a broader range of skin tones.

Suitability is always assessed in consultation. Your aesthetic therapist will review your skin type, any tendency towards pigmentation, medications and lifestyle and will only recommend TriLift RF skin needling when it is safe and appropriate. If TriLift RF skin needling is not the best fit, we will discuss Vivace RF skin needling or other options that offer a safer and more effective pathway.

TriLift RF skin needling can often be combined with other non-surgical treatments when planned carefully as part of a broader skin program. It may be used alongside LED therapy or other skin-strengthening procedures.

At Skin By Sarah Hudson, any combination plan is mapped out in consultation so that each treatment supports the others and your skin has adequate recovery time between visits.

TriLift RF skin needling is generally suited to clients looking for firmer, smoother skin and overall refinement, while Vivace RF skin needling is often chosen for texture, pores and acne scarring. Vivace can be adjusted for many skin types and tones, and is often preferred for darker complexions or clients with pigmentation concerns. Both treatments are suitable for men and women.
