6 Ways to Treat the Wrinkles on Your Neck

It may seem like it happened overnight, but our necks can be the first to display common signs of aging—wrinkled, crepey skin and neck bands can add years to our look. Whether due to genetics or ignoring the skin below the chin, the lines across the neck can be difficult to conceal without turtlenecks. “As we age, our skin loses water and collagen content, and as a result, it becomes drier and less firm,” says San Antonio plastic surgeon Jorge L. Menendez, MD. No matter what causes neck wrinkles, there are several solutions that can help reduce neck lines for a smooth, taught look.

“To us—and the rest of her 365K followers on Instagram—she’s also a superb source of breathtakingly honest advice when it comes to beauty, motherhood and general wellness.

I Tried Jennifer Aniston’s Go-To Microneedling Treatment

“Olivia Culpo, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jennifer Aniston are just a few celebs who swear by the treatment and their complexions are goals, so I’d call that a hard sell. With the new year approaching, I decided to kickstart my skin care resolutions by booking my first Vivace® microneedling service at DermWellesley in Wellesley, Massachusetts. The goal?

A tall order, I know.” – Rebecca Strong

Meet the Anti-Aging Microneedling Treatment That Requires Zero Downtime

“Vivace® is a microneedling [procedure] that is effective in treating fine lines and also tightening the skin,” says Dr. Marie V Hayag, the board-certified dermatologist who performed my treatment. “It is unique in its ability to provide three different treatments in a single session. It combines microneedling with radiofrequency treatment, LED light therapy and radiofrequency heat. The LED light therapy reduces inflammation which speeds healing immediately after the procedure. During the treatment, gold-tipped microneedles deliver the radiofrequency heat into the subdermal layers of your skin. This stimulates your skin’s own production of elastin and collagen.” – Kayla Greaves 

How Vivace® RF Microneedling Helps this Dermatologist Give Patients Healthy, Glowy Skin

How a radio-frequency microneedling machine reduces hyperpigmentation

“You can expect to see results starting as soon as one week after your treatment. At about three to four weeks is usually the optimal time when you see the full result of your Vivace® treatment. Patients of a younger demographic, anywhere from late 20s to early 40s, can expect to see results lasting from around 12 to 18 months. Patients of a more mature demographic, in their 50s and 60s, can expect to see results lasting up to six to 12 months, at most. Having this treatment specifically gives me so much confidence and so much pride that I’m able to safely treat people who look like me and who might not have had representation in the field or might have a little mistrust with the field in the past.” – Vanessa Lee

Happy National Microneedling Day! Here’s Everything You Need to Know About Vivace® RF Microneedling

“In honor of Vivace®, the leading radiofrequency microneedling treatment in the country, October 26 is now dedicated to the popular treatment—and for good reason…Microneedling, one of the main components of Vivace®, is a nonsurgical treatment that pricks your skin’s surface with tiny needles to invoke a wound-healing response. This response kickstarts a skin-rejuvenation process that leads to smoother lines and wrinkles, a more even skin tone, and refined pores. While this treatment alone is known for its stellar results, results are even better when combined with radiofrequency, which is the second main component of Vivace®.

Unsurprisingly, this treatment is a favorite among skincare professionals. “Having a Vivace® in my practice is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made,” said Manhattan Beach, CA dermatologist Ashley Magovern, MD in a press release for the brand. “Not only for my business but most importantly, for my patients.” – Tatiana Bido

Radiofrequency Facials: What to Know Before Trying the Treatment

“Radiofrequency can do more than just firm though. When it’s combined with microneedling (called “RF microneedling,” for short), it’s great at improving skin tone and texture, minimizing the appearance of pores and acne scars, and smoothing fine lines, says Dr. Frank. There are few different devices that combine microneedling with radiofrequency (talk to your doctor to find out what’s best for your skin type and goals), but I personally tried one called Vivace® and loved the brightening, tightening results.” – Lauren Balsamo

Because the face is numbed before the Vivace® treatment, he says he didn’t find it painful. ‘I felt like I was getting pampered, like it was a facial,’ he adds.” – Carly Breit

The Next Best Thing To Botox, For People Who Can’t Go Under The Needle

“Vivace® Microneedling RF does have added treatment benefits, such as reducing the appearance of dull and uneven texture, enlarged pores, fine lines, and loose skin,’ says Dr. Frank, ‘but again, those deeper lines and creases aren’t going to be solved with only Vivace®. We offer a treatment called ‘tech neck’ that uses Vivace® Microneedling RF to address the fine lines and crepe-y skin in your neck from looking down at your phone.” – Megan Mcintyre

Can You Actually Shrink Your Pores? A Dermatologist Weighs In

“Put down the magnifying mirror. Walk past any beauty aisle and you’ll see a plethora of products that claim to “shrink” pores or make them completely disappear. But, can you really shrink your pores? What makes them appear larger than life in the first place? We asked Dr. Howard Sobel, New York City dermatologist and founder of Sobel Skin, all our most pressing pore-related questions. If you’re in the market for products that will minimize pore appearance, looking for pore-reducing creams that actually work, or wondering if laser treatments are an option for you, keep reading below.

It stimulates the natural production of collagen and helps improve skin tone and texture, tightens the skin and minimizes pore size. As always, the best advice is talk to a trusted dermatologist for the right solution for you.” – Chloe Hall

Ready For Their Close Ups! Experts Dish Secret Skincare Treatments Stars Use Before Hitting The Red Carpet

“People prefer Vivace® to traditional microneedling because it’s a superior treatment with less downtime,’ explains Dr. Ashley Magovern of Manhattan Dermatology. ‘The Vivace® allows us to to precisely penetrate the skin and also use RF (radiofrequency) to heat the skin and stimulate collagen production. Vivace® also allows for great needle depth so we can treat deeper levels of the skin compared to traditional microneedling.’ Combined with numbing cream, Vivace® is virtually painless and with a developed recovery system, ensures no one knows you just had a treatment. And the results are stunning.” – Ashley Joy Parker

My Experience with Vivace® Microneedling

“When was the last time you did something for YOU? Think about that for a second. If you’re still searching for an answer, do us both a favor and book yourself in for some kind of spa moment TODAY!

I asked myself that same question a couple of weeks ago. I’ve been on mom duty since February 12th, 2021. Since then, I’ve only stepped away for 48 hours to see my close group of college girlfriends who were getting together after a couple of years apart. It’s a full time job, and honestly? I think I’m rocking it. Nora is 6 months old, and this parenting thing only gets better and better as she grows up. To be able to say that, I take time for myself every so often. You can’t fill anyone else’s cup until you fill your own.

When I was invited  by Aesthetics Biomedical to have a little Me-Time in Florida to experience a Vivace® treatment, I said yes. It was a 24-hour trip of visiting with familiar faces, magical fireworks at Disney, microneedling and sleeping uninterrupted at night. To any momma out there, that sounds pretty dreamy. If you’re like me and even have the slightest interest in the beauty industry, you’ve probably seen Vivace® microneedling treatments all over social media. I’d heard really good reviews, so I was excited to try it for myself. Here’s how it all went down…” – Lesley Murphy

New Aesthetics Symposium Raises the Bar

“Aesthetics Biomedical®, Inc. (Phoenix, Ariz.) re-established the standard for aesthetic conferences with its inaugural symposium, Perspectives: The Evolution of Aesthetics, held at the J.W. Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa April 9-10, 2021.

More than 200 attended the conference, which was held in a private, socially distant environment. Many more attended virtually.” – Kevin A. Wilson

Molly Sims Reveals the Best Beauty Tip She’s Received From Another Celeb & Her Top Advice for Beauty in Your 40s

“Don’t forget what I told you—less is more!’ Molly Sims yelled to me as she strutted toward her Uber and waved goodbye. We had just finished our interview at RealSelf’s House of Modern Beauty in New York City, and the supermodel felt more like a friend than a celebrity—we had just spent about 20 minutes indulging in girl talk, discussing both beauty habits and career-boosting secrets.

The 46-year-old model, actress, and mother of three certainly has a lot to say about both skin care and being a businesswoman, thanks to her lengthy career in Hollywood. And being the beauty lover she is, Sims most recently partnered with a new brand called SoME Skincare, which combines good-for-your-skin ingredients with your own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to create a customized product to boost radiance, enhance skin tone and texture, and reduce sun damage. A product that’s prepared by your physician, this serum brings advanced skin care into your own home—a process that Sims feels rather passionate about.” – Julie Ricevuto

Is Getting Poked with Tiny Needles the Secret to Better Skin? I tried it

“Getting poked in the face with little needles for about an hour doesn’t really sound like a great way to spend a Thursday morning, but I was pretty stoked driving the 20 minutes to my Vivace® appointment to do exactly that.

From everything I’d heard, the FDA-approved microneedling-meets-radiofrequency treatment was like a miracle worker for dull and tired skin, leaving faces enviously glowy and gorgeous without the gnarly downtime of other popular procedures. The powerful treatment is said to quickly reduce fine lines, lessen the look of scars, brighten the complexion, and lift and tighten skin. That’s a lot to live up to, so does it?

I’ll tell you all about my own experience, but let me first offer a quick rundown on the treatment itself. In short, Vivace® combines a medical grade microneedle stamping device—comprised of 36 gold-dipped needles—with radiofrequency (RF). This two-for-one approach not only reduces your overall downtime and discomfort, but it also makes the treatment more effective.” – Wendy Gould

What Is a Vampire Facial, and are the Benefits Worth It?

“Vampire facials may just be the secret to smoother, brighter, younger-looking skin. Here’s what’s involved.

Blood keeps us alive, as we all know. Just a few of its duties: transporting oxygen to our cells, regulating our body temperature, and maintaining our immune systems. Now skin pros think blood also keeps us beautiful—and so-called vampire facials, which entail extracting your own life source and strategically applying it to the skin, are the magic treatment.

She recommends SoME® Skincare ($900, for locations). To get it, you’ll make an appointment with a dermatologist, who will draw your blood, separate the PRP, and then immediately mix the platelet-rich plasma into a serum. ‘This keeps the platelets as fresh and potent as possible,’ says Dr. Shah.” – Erin Reimel

The Summer of Sobel

“From radiofrequency treatments to liposuction and injectables, what’s new and exciting at the Sobel Skin clinic.

Dr. Howard Sobel, founder of Sobel Skin on on the Upper East Side and attending dermatologist and dermatologic surgeon at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York, has been bombarded with clients clamoring for his state-of-the-art treatments. ‘We have all been hiding under a mask since last year, and now people are treating themselves to look and feel their best, and that starts with their face and their skincare,’ explains Dr. Sobel. ‘When my office reopened last June, we were deluged with appointments for Botox and fillers like Juvéderm. The next priority was rejuvenating the skin as quickly as possible to smooth and brighten the skin.’ His practice uses Vivace®, a combination of microneedling, radiofrequency and LED light therapy that is the next wave of skin rejuvenation therapy to diminish fine lines, wrinkles and blemishes and provide a more youthful appearance by firming and lifting sagging skin. ‘We have also created the Zoomable, which is a mix of filler, Botox and laser treatments that can eliminate or stall the need for a facelift.’” – Natasha Wolff

BiP’s Ashley Iaconetti Made Over Husband Jared Haibon’s Grooming Routine — No More 3-in-1 Shampoo!

“After getting married to Iaconetti in 2019, his shower routine — and skincare products — have received a major overhaul. Not only has he begun to use separate products to cleanse and condition, but he’s also gotten his skin in much better shape.

Thankfully, they were both able to get on board with a new microneedling treatment called Vivace®, which Iaconetti spoke about during the Aesthetics Biomedical® conference on April 10.” – Samantha Holender

I Tried A Clinical Microneedling Treatment That Promised Glowing Skin with Little Downtime

“Putting Vivace’s® skincare claims to the test.

I’m getting married on June 22, which means I’m currently in the ‘holy sh*t’ stage of wedding planning. Like any bride, I’m most concerned about how I’ll look. Specifically, how my sun-damaged skin will hold up on the biggest day of my life. Looking for answers, I sought advice from celebrity makeup artist Andrea Tiller, who counts Amy Schumer and Olivia Palermo among her clients—and she suggested microneedling.

Less than five minutes later, I was on the phone with nurse practitioner Chelsi Dayrit at Nazarian Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills. She’s my go-to girl for Botox, filler, and all things aesthetics. Dayrit suggested a new treatment called Vivace® PRP, which combines microneedling and radio frequency with the Insta-famous Vampire Facial to create a single mega-treatment. She claimed it would give me all the benefits of microneedling and the skin-tightening effect of radio frequency—without any downtime.” – Emily Siegel

Glam Lab: Best, worst beauty trends of 2018

“While microneedling has been around, the Vivace® device is new to the market. Microneedling boosts collagen to the surface by safely practicing the trauma effect. The tiny, fine needles puncture your skin to force fresh collagen to the surface. The result? Tighter, glowing skin! The Vivace® device changed the treatment forever by pairing the microneedles with radio frequency. That means less downtime after your treatment, but it also a means a higher price. While I did love my immediate results, microneedling is a treatment you want to keep up with and try a few times.” – Johanna C. Trupp

My Vivace® RF Microneedling Experience

“However I wanted to take my skincare to another level, and this is when I came across Vivace® RF Microneedling. I dug in and did my research… Fast forward to today when I got my 3rd Vivace® treatment, and I have been more than obsessed with the results.

My makeup literally glided on as if I didn’t have any pores— and I’m still glowing in a way that no highlighter could ever achieve! I already can’t wait to get in for my next session.” – Jen Saviano
