Yes! Vivace is safe and effective for all skin tones, including melanin-rich and sensitive skin. It’s also a great option for those exposed to frequent sun in Arizona, thanks to its precise energy delivery and minimal risk of pigmentation.

Most clients see visible improvements after just one treatment, but for optimal results, we typically recommend a series of 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. We customize your plan based on your goals and skin condition.

We apply a powerful medical-grade numbing cream before your session to ensure comfort. Most clients describe the treatment as mildly warm or tingly—not painful.

To prepare for your CO₂ laser treatment, avoid sun exposure for 4 to 6 weeks beforehand and inform your doctor about your medical history and any medications you’re taking. You will also receive specific pre-treatment instructions to follow.

A typical session takes about 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. It’s a quick, in-and-out service perfect for busy clients and students in Tempe.

Many clients notice an improvement in skin tone and texture within the first week. Full results—including tighter skin and reduced wrinkles—continue to improve over the next 4–8 weeks as new collagen forms.

Vivace offers minimal downtime, typically 24–48 hours. You may experience some redness and mild swelling, similar to a light sunburn. Most clients in Tempe return to work, class, or social events the next day.
