RF Microneedling & Skin Needling (Vivace)

RF microneedling using the Vivace device combines radiofrequency energy with micro-needles to stimulate collagen and tighten skin across the face, neck, decolletage, and body. Standard skin needling is also available as a single session or course of four. Recommended course for RF microneedling is five sessions. Downtime is minimal — roughly one hour of redness with microchannels closing within four to six hours.

The Manse Clinic in Paddington, Sydney offers RF microneedling using the Vivace system — a device that delivers radiofrequency energy through fine needles to trigger deep collagen remodelling while integrated red and blue LED panels support skin healing. Treatments are available for the face, neck, decolletage, hands, and body. Each RF microneedling session runs 30 to 45 minutes. Topical numbing cream is applied 10 to 30 minutes before the procedure, keeping discomfort at a low level — most patients rate it two to three out of ten. Post-treatment redness typically resolves within one hour; micro-channels close naturally within four to six hours, allowing patients to return to their day. The clinic recommends a course of five sessions for optimal results, with a minimum of three, and maintenance sessions twice yearly thereafter. Pricing for single-area RF microneedling (full face) is AUD $770. Adding a second zone — face plus neck or face plus decolletage — is AUD $1,180, while a three-zone treatment covering face, neck, and decolletage is AUD $1,480. Standard skin needling is priced at AUD $500 per session or AUD $1,800 for a course of four sessions. RF microneedling at The Manse Clinic can be combined with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) or an exosome add-on (AUD $1,300 with RF microneedling) for an augmented biological response. The Vivace's radiofrequency also provides a mild skin-tightening effect, making it well-suited for patients with early skin laxity alongside texture and pore concerns. The Paddington clinic is located at 1 Regent Street in Sydney's heritage Five Ways precinct. A second location is available at Level 3, Suite 302/67 Castlereagh Street, Sydney CBD.
