Texture and Tone That No Longer Reflect You
Rough patches, enlarged pores, fine lines, and stretch marks can make skin feel less refined than you would like. These surface irregularities often accumulate quietly, leaving you wishing for the smoother, more even skin you remember.
How Viva MD Works
Viva delivers fractional radiofrequency energy into the skin to gently heat the deeper layers while creating microchannels that stimulate renewal. This dual action is designed to encourage collagen remodeling and refresh the surface, helping to improve tone, texture, and firmness over a series of treatments.
What Viva MD May Help Improve
Uneven texture and enlarged pores
Helps improve overall skin tone and texture as a foundational skin-quality step.
Mild laxity and crepiness
Can support firmer, tighter-looking skin by encouraging the skin's natural renewal processes.
Stretch marks

What a Viva MD Series Involves
Getting ready
The treatment area is cleansed and prepared with comfort measures as appropriate for your session.
During the session
The Viva handpiece delivers fractional radiofrequency energy across the target area, and many patients notice a warm, flushed sensation.
Recovery
Temporary redness and mild swelling are common and may last a day or two. Most patients resume their routine quickly with sun protection.
Results over a series
Because Viva works by stimulating the skin's own renewal, texture and firmness improve gradually over the weeks following each session, and a series is often suggested for cumulative improvement.
Distinct Roles in a Combined Plan
Neurotoxins
Pair resurfacing with smoothing of dynamic lines, the lines that appear with expression, for a fuller refresh.
Medical Facials
Support and prolong your skin renewal between treatments.
