Microneedling
Microneedling provides improvement from within
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the insertion of fine, short needles into the skin to rejuvenate it.
These tiny needles create small contact points that stimulate the body’s natural wound-healing response, promoting the renewal of skin cells.
As the skin repairs itself, the production of collagen and elastin is stimulated, resulting in an immediate plumping effect.
Moreover, it can help address a range of skin issues, such as scarring, sun damage, dark marks, and signs of ageing.
Possible side effects with treatment:
Redness, mild swelling, bruising, sensitivity, tenderness, itchiness, tracking (red style track marks), white spot and light flaking of the skin. There will also be a noticeable increase in skin temperature which is completely normal for this type of treatment.
Please note – if booking online to benefit from the 10% discount you will only be able to book your first session. On the day of your appointment the consultant will then discuss how many sessions you will benefit from and will then apply a 10% discount to this.

More Information
Microneedling is capable of targeting several common skin concerns.
One of its primary benefits is to refresh dull and tired skin and reverse the early signs of ageing. The treatment achieves this by stimulating collagen production, which leads to the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles on the face.
It is also capable of improving the appearance of scars resulting from acne or Chicken Pox. It can also smooth out uneven skin textures, resulting in more even-looking skin and refines large pores. Lastly, it is known to fade dark patches, such as pigmentation caused by sun damage or ageing.
Microneedling is also fantastic at reducing the appearance of stretchmarks.
Overall, it is a versatile skin treatment that can improve the look and feel of your skin. Whether you’re looking to refresh your complexion, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, or smooth out scars and pigmentation, microneedling may be the solution you’re looking for.
We use a cutting-edge clinical instrument for our microneedling treatment.
This provides us with unparalleled precision and accuracy in the treatment of the skin.
These revolutionary electronic devices allow our practitioners to customise the intensity of the treatment to our clientele’s specific needs.
Additionally, a potent solution containing essential minerals, vitamins, peptides, and hyaluronic acid is applied to the skin, which activates cell regeneration, reduces wrinkles and fine lines, and enhances skin elasticity.
This targeted pen treatment is perfect for those with localised areas of concern, addressing and improving specific areas of the skin.
If you have a darker skin tone, microneedling may be an excellent option for you. Unlike other treatments such as peels or lasers, which can cause pigmentation problems, it is gentler and does not pose the same risks.
Yes, this procedure can help improve the appearance of acne scars in a significant manner.
To get the best results, you will likely need more than one treatment. The number of treatments you need will depend on the severity of your scars. In most cases, you can expect to see results after 3-6 treatments.
To get the most out of the treatment, it’s best to undergo multiple sessions. We advise a minimum of 3 sessions, however, for optimal result we advise between 6 – 12 in-clinic sessions. A single treatment is unlikely to achieve the desired results for an extended period of time. The number of sessions require will vary depending on the areas that are been targeted.
We typically recommend spacing out treatments by 3 – 4 weeks to give your skin enough time to recover and stimulate collagen production.
The in-clinic procedure will last 60 minutes. This will include pre treatment consultation, skin analysis, cleanse and prep followed by the administration of the treatment itself. This treatment will be concluded through application of a collagen boosting facial mask. For advanced results it is recommended to add on the LED Light Therapy treatment.
No, our clients who undergo the procedure do not require anaesthesia. However, a numbing cream may be applied to the treatment areas of individuals who have very sensitive skin.
Following the procedure you will be able to leave clinic immediately, however, it is important to understand the side effects in relation to microneedling.
There will be redness and swelling following the procedure which typically can last up to 48 hours post treatment. Some of our clients have also reported sensitivity in the area of treatment. An itching sensation is also completely normal and can last up to 48 hours too.
Yes, it is a safe procedure. Moreover, the practitioners who perform the treatment at our clinics are trained and experienced professionals.
While microneedling may result in some mild discomfort, it is not a painful procedure.
Microneedling can create fantastic long lasting results when combined with other skin treatments that we offer.
Microneedling can be paired with both Hydrafacial and LED Light Therapy. These treatments can be conducted during the same appointment slot.
Microneedling can also be paired with HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) and Radiofrequency, however, you must wait a minimum of 7 days between these treatments.

There was plenty of information and lots of contact beforehand, my appointment was dead on time and the I was really put at ease, Iwish I could remember the lady’s name. Because she was amazing, she was so knowledgable and very easy to talk to , the clinic was spotless clean, modern and looked extremely high tech. I was so relaxed I really enjoyed my time there and have booked in another session. Highly recommend to anyone Thankyou vivo
Been using Vivo clinic for a while and just wanted to mention the level of service provided from Tash is unbelievable. Sometimes its not the product you come back for its the level of service. Tash has always been brilliant and goes the extra mile each time. Credit to the company!
I have been going for treatments with Rosanne in the Belfast clinic for the past couple of years. 5-star treatment every time! Rosanne is very knowledgeable about all the various treatments and great with recommendations tailored to your needs. Would highly recommend.
Tasha was amazing she explained everything and she was very welcoming. She was amazing at what she did and her advice was great. I definitely will be going back here.
I had a radio frequency facial, hifu facial and plasma pen treatment with Cherie. I am thrilled with the results and found the whole experience very relaxing. As a 59 year old woman, my complexion has never looked as good as it does now for a long time. I would definitely recommend the treatments and of course Cherie. I will be returning for more treatments.
Hi
I had Tini as my therapist at the Manchester Vivo clinic she was amazing, she explained the treatment in detail, was thorough and efficient and professional - I would give her 10/10 and highly recommend her - A BIG Thanks to Tini xxx
This was my second treatment. The salon is lovely with a pleasant waiting area. My therapist, Misbah was knowledgeable and professional and put me at ease straight away with her friendly demeanor - I felt comfortable and relaxed throughout. The treatment is slightly uncomfortable but I chose to have the highest setting to get the maximum benefits - you can reduce it to a lower setting if you find it uncomfortable. I would definitely recommend going - try and book with Misbah as she goes the extra mile to make you feel relaxed and pampered.
Again had a treatments with Rosanne, a chin reduction, all I can say a game changer, definitely always take Roseanne recommendations, it makes a great to go to a cosmetologist, that face is not like plastic and recommends non injectables as a treatment , thank you Roseanne 🤩
I just had my last set of fat freezing with Taylor yesterday and as usual a lovely experience, Cherie did my previous sessions and both ladies are so friendly and knowledgeable. For all my sessions I felt comfortable and was put at ease as they answered all my questions. Great experience with both Taylor and Cherie would definitely book again, even for a nice afternoon of chatting with them! 10/10 service xxx
