What is the difference between Vivace vs Infini RF?

The Vivace is the first microneedling with radiofrequency system that allows you to change the frequency of the energy being delivered through the needles. The current devices are only 1 or 2 MhZ, while the Vivace is the first device that has both settings. This is a critical advance as you can target the energy more accurately by selectively using this new feature strategically with either guarded or unguarded needles. Furthermore, unlike the Infini which uses solenoid "snap" motors, the Vivace is the first device to use a robotic micromotor to more gently push the needles into the skin, leading to a more comfortable patient experience. Other devices use hydraulic systems to drive the needles which some find similarly uncomfortable. Finally the Vivace circuit board is a more advanced Chevron circuit on a 36 pin set which allows for even energy delivery and a lower consumable cost. 

The Vivace Micro Memory Robotic Soothe glide control, uses precise insertion depth into the Epidermis and Dermis. Its smooth, quite, precise accuracy of depths and constant speed making each treatment a very comfortable patient experience. Results are amazing.

I am not aware if the Vivace microneedles are coated, thereby sparing The epidermis. The Infini needles are covered down to the tips, and   only release radio frequency energy  in The deeper parts of The dermis. This protects the epidermis. However, when  using any device, The most important factor is The physician who is performing The procedure. Find someone who has extensive experience in Microneedling  with radio frequency. Good luck.

Infini RF is a popular device but i love intensif much more because they are non insulated needles. Vivace has insulated needles, but may require more treatments. Most importantly though, I always do microneedling with prp for the best results. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

When looking at different technologies, there are 3 basic questions that need to be answered to decipher the difference between competitors. Below I will decipher these answer for micro-needling radio-frequency devices.
 1. Does the technology work? 
Micro-needling with radio-frequency definitely works. Some of the systems have better results because their science and engineering is more advanced and sophisticated, allowing the physician to deliver better treatments. The Vivace has many such advanced features. Vivace is the first device to have 1 and  2 MHz both. Other devices either are 1 or 2 MHz but not both. Vivace needle depth is not fixed but variable and penetration can be customized to the patient's skin.Other devices have preset needle depth. Vivace needles come in insulated as well as non-insulated tips allowing customization for sensitive skin vs. problematic skin like acne scars. 
2. Does it hurt? 
One of the determining factors in the comfort level with the skin is the topical numbing cream used to numb the skin. Vivace comes with its own proprietary topical numbing cream that is superior to other creams making the treatment comfortable. Another factor is the type of motor used for the mechanical deliver of micro-injuries. For example solenoid "snap" motors like Infini, and hydraulic motors results in delivery of a painful pulse. Vivace is the first device to use a robotic micro-motor to more gently delivers the pulse comfortably eliminating pain.
3. Does it have downtime?
Vivace needles are gold coated which prevent skin metal allergies caused with other systems. Metal allergy causes inflammation increases the downtime.   Finally Vivace circuit board is an advanced Chevron circuit  which allows for even delivery of the radio-frequency preventing hot spots during treatment would increase pain and downtime.

There are probably now about 6 needle RF devices on the market, with the leader still Infini. Most don't have insulated needles and those should not be considered. Vivace has insulated needles. One of its deficiencies is its motor driver, which is very slow. Although wattage is high, the actual joules into the skin is low. This means that each treatment is less effective and more are needed. On Vivace literature/videos, it is stated that 3-6 treatments are needed. Infini has been doing its research and now supplies significantly higher energy into the skin to make each treatment even more effective. There is slightly more redness, lasting up to 4 or 5 days, but the results are better. These recent changes (Gen 1.2) consist of a new needle tip that gives a more even distribution of the energy. New settings which give higher joules per pulse. And a new user interface that makes treatment parameters easier to choose what's best for patients. 

This system is more advanced and uses energy targeted for treatment and is simple and delivers great results
