Refresh tone, smooth texture, and restore clarity with VivaMD skin resurfacing in Gilbert and Chandler. At DrSkin Regenerative & Medical Spa, each treatment is customized by Joy Chapman to deliver controlled, comfortable rejuvenation with visible, natural-looking results.

Refine Skin Texture Without Aggressive Downtime

VivaMD is an advanced skin resurfacing treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to improve overall skin quality. This dual-technology approach allows providers to treat both surface-level concerns and deeper structural changes within the skin, all while maintaining a comfortable experience and minimal recovery.

As the device creates precise microchannels in the skin, it simultaneously delivers controlled RF heat into the dermis. This process stimulates collagen and elastin production, improves circulation, and supports cellular renewal. The result is smoother, firmer, and more balanced skin over time.

Who Benefits Most from VivaMD Treatments?

VivaMD is a versatile option for patients who want noticeable skin improvement without the intensity of more aggressive resurfacing treatments. It is suitable for a wide range of skin tones and can be adjusted to address both early signs of aging and more established concerns.

This treatment is often chosen to improve:

Uneven skin texture and roughness
Fine lines and early skin laxity
Acne scars and superficial scarring
Enlarged pores
Mild to moderate pigmentation irregularities
Overall skin dullness and loss of radiance

Because the treatment is customizable, it can also be used as part of a long-term skin maintenance plan.

Why Patients Choose DrSkin for VivaMD

DrSkin offers a comprehensive, medically guided approach to skin rejuvenation. Every VivaMD treatment is performed with a clear understanding of how the skin responds to both energy-based devices and regenerative stimulation.

Under the direction of Joy Chapman, each treatment is carefully calibrated to balance efficacy and comfort. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all protocol, adjustments are made in real time based on your skin’s response, ensuring a more precise and personalized outcome. This attention to detail allows patients to achieve consistent, natural-looking improvements while supporting long-term skin health.

The Science Behind VivaMD Technology

VivaMD works by combining two clinically proven mechanisms: controlled microneedling and radiofrequency energy delivery. This combination makes VivaMD especially effective for improving both texture and structural firmness in a controlled, predictable way.

Microneedling

The microneedles create uniform channels in the skin, which serve two purposes. First, they stimulate the body’s natural wound-healing response. Second, they allow RF energy to be delivered deeper into the dermis, where collagen and elastin are produced.

Radiofrequency

The added radiofrequency heat enhances this process by tightening existing collagen fibers and encouraging new collagen formation over time. Because the energy is delivered below the surface, the outer layer of the skin remains largely intact, reducing downtime compared to more aggressive resurfacing methods.

What Makes VivaMD Different From Traditional Microneedling?

While traditional microneedling relies solely on mechanical stimulation, VivaMD enhances results by adding thermal energy beneath the skin’s surface. This added RF component allows for deeper remodeling, making the treatment more effective for concerns like early laxity, deeper textural irregularities, and acne scarring.

At the same time, the treatment remains well-tolerated and appropriate for patients who want meaningful results without extended recovery. Because of this balance, VivaMD is often chosen as a middle ground between basic microneedling and more aggressive laser resurfacing.

What to Expect During Your VivaMD Treatment

Consultation

Your experience begins with a personalized consultation where Joy Chapman evaluates your skin’s texture, tone, and overall health. During this visit, you’ll discuss your concerns, treatment goals, and any previous procedures or skincare routines. Based on this evaluation, a customized treatment plan is created, including the number of sessions recommended and how the treatment will be adjusted to your skin.

Treatment

On the day of your procedure, your skin will be cleansed and prepped. A topical numbing agent may be applied to enhance comfort. The VivaMD device is then passed across the treatment area, delivering microneedling and RF energy in a controlled pattern. Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure with warmth. Treatment time typically ranges from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.

Recovery

After treatment, you may experience mild redness and warmth, similar to a light sunburn. This typically resolves within 24 to 48 hours. Your skin may feel slightly dry or textured for a few days as it begins the renewal process. Most patients return to normal activities quickly, with minimal interruption to their routine. Over the following weeks, collagen production increases, leading to gradual improvements in tone, texture, and firmness.

How Many VivaMD Treatments Are Needed?

The number of sessions depends on your skin condition and goals. Some patients choose a single treatment for general refreshment, while others benefit from a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart for more noticeable correction. For concerns like acne scarring or deeper textural changes, multiple sessions are typically recommended. Your treatment plan will be customized during your consultation to ensure realistic expectations and optimal results.

How Long Do the Results Last?

Results from VivaMD develop gradually as collagen production increases. Many patients begin to see improvements within a few weeks, with continued enhancement over several months.

With proper skincare and maintenance treatments, results can be long-lasting. Periodic sessions may be recommended to support ongoing skin health and collagen renewal.
