Energy-based treatments have become an important part of maintaining healthy, resilient skin, especially as collagen production slows as you age. Ultravision RF Microneedling (formerly Vivace) offers a more advanced approach by combining radiofrequency energy with real-time ultrasound guidance, a level of precision that standard microneedling can’t achieve.

What Makes Ultravision Different

Ultravision is a unique ultrasound-assisted platform. This means we can visualize your skin’s depth prior to treatment and establish precise depth and energy settings. Instead of relying on generalized settings, each treatment is personalized based on your actual tissue depth.

That precision matters. It allows us to deliver energy exactly where it will be most effective while avoiding unnecessary trauma to surrounding tissue. The result is a treatment that is both safer and more consistent, especially for mature skin.

How It Improves Skin Quality

Ultravision works by combining two mechanisms:

Microneedling to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin.
Radiofrequency energy is delivered at precise depths to stimulate collagen and elastin.

Together, these processes help improve:

Skin texture (smoother surface, refined pores)
Tone (more even appearance)
Vitality (healthier, more resilient skin)

Over time, this leads to firmer, more responsive skin without an overdone or artificial look.

Why Precision Matters

As skin matures, it becomes thinner, less elastic, and more variable in structure. A one-size-fits-all treatment approach often falls short.

Ultrasound guidance allows us to:

Adjust the depth for delicate or thinner areas (around the eyes, the forehead).
Target deeper layers where collagen stimulation is most beneficial.
Reduce unnecessary inflammation, which can slow recovery.

This is particularly helpful for clients who want visible improvement without extended downtime.

What to Expect

Most clients describe the treatment as very manageable, especially with numbing applied beforehand. Sessions are efficient, and downtime is minimal.

You may experience:

Mild redness for 24–48 hours.
A slightly warm or tight feeling in the skin.
Subtle pinpoint marks or dryness as the skin begins to repair

You’ll see gradual improvement in skin texture and firmness as collagen production increases over several weeks. This makes Ultravision a practical option for those who want meaningful results without interrupting daily life.

A Strong Addition to a Long-Term Plan

Ultravision is not a one-time fix. It works best as part of a thoughtful, long-term skin care strategy.

In Boulder’s dry, high-altitude environment, skin is under constant stress from sun exposure and low humidity. Treatments that support collagen and strengthen the skin barrier are especially valuable.

Ultravision pairs well with:

Seasonal treatments that focus on repair and maintenance.
Medical-grade skincare that supports recovery and results.
Antioxidants that protect against environmental damage.

Antioxidants as part of a comprehensive skin approach.

After energy-based treatments, antioxidants help:

Reduce oxidative stress.
Support healing.
Enhance overall skin vitality.

This combination—precision treatment plus supportive skincare—leads to more stable, longer-lasting results.

Who Is a Good Candidate

UltraVision is well-suited for:

Clients who are noticing early-to-moderate changes in texture and firmness.
Those who want natural-looking improvement without significant downtime.
Individuals building or maintaining a long-term skin health plan.

A Thoughtful Approach to Results

The goal is not to dramatically change your appearance. It is to improve how your skin functions and looks over time.

With the added precision of ultrasound guidance, Ultravision allows for a more refined, personalized approach to skin rejuvenation.
