Does RF microneedling (Vivace) destroy hair follicles, break hair, or turn hair white like a laser?

Question

The area I’m looking to have done is my face and areas in my brows. I don’t want to lose my eyebrow hair though. I saw someone use vivace on the scalp with prf so I’m wondering if I can have it done on my face and brows with prf as well.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

not all lasers burn hair or turn them white only ablative lasers can burn hair, and tattoo lasers can whiten hair. non ablative lasers and microneedling RF have no affect on hair. you should be doing microdermarolling and peels at home now between treatments (see link).

Hello, vivace is safe to go over brows as long as your brows are not tattooed.  It will not burn or damage the hair.  I often do vivace on the scalp with PRP or stem cells to increase hair growth.  Good luck!
