How fractional RF supports your skin from within.
Radiofrequency energy has been studied for decades. This page explains, in plain language, what the VIVI Pro is designed to do beneath the surface of your skin, and the science that informs the approach.
The Fundamentals
What is radiofrequency energy?
Radiofrequency (RF) is a form of electromagnetic energy. As the current passes through skin, the tissue's natural resistance causes molecules to vibrate, generating gentle, controlled warmth deep in the dermis, where collagen fibres live.
Because RF is not affected by skin pigment, it is designed to be suitable across all skin tones, an advantage over many light-based approaches.
Skin Structure
Why the dermis is the target.
Your skin has three primary layers. Below the thin outer epidermis lies the dermis, rich in the collagen and elastin that give skin its firmness. As we age, collagen production in the dermis naturally slows.
The VIVI Pro is designed to direct gentle RF warmth toward the dermis, where thermal stimulation has the greatest effect, without disrupting the skin's surface.
-
Stratum corneum
Outermost protective layer of dead cells.
-
Epidermis
Living skin cells, melanin and barrier function.
-
Papillary dermis RF target zone
Upper dermis with fine collagen fibres and capillaries.
-
Reticular dermis RF target zone
Dense collagen and elastin fibres. The primary target zone.
-
Hypodermis
Subcutaneous fat and deeper connective tissue.
Three phases of skin renewal.
A gentle, staged response that builds over the weeks after each session.
-
01
Gentle thermal warmth
RF energy gently warms the dermis to a comfortable level. This produces an immediate, subtle tightening sensation that can be felt during the session. It is a controlled, targeted warmth, not surface heat.
-
02
The skin's natural response
The controlled warmth encourages the skin's own renewal process to begin in the treated area, the same process the body uses to refresh and support its structure over time.
-
03
Progressive support
With consistent weekly use, the routine supports the look of firmer, smoother, fresher skin. Results build gradually, which is why consistency matters more than intensity.
Give your routine time. The look of your skin is supported progressively over the weeks of regular use, not overnight.
Fractional Technology
Why fractional RF matters.
Fractional radiofrequency treats the skin in precise micro-zones rather than heating the whole surface at once. Each zone receives focused warmth, while the untreated skin around it supports comfortable recovery.
This approach is designed to deliver focused stimulation while keeping treatments gentle and downtime-free.
What the research shows.
Radiofrequency for skin support is one of the most studied approaches in modern dermatology.
General references describe the effects of radiofrequency technology as documented in independent, peer-reviewed literature, and are not claims that the VIVI Pro itself was the subject of those specific trials. Replace with the client's approved references before launch. Individual results vary.
How RF compares to other options.
Understanding how approaches differ helps you choose what is right for your skin.

Designed to be gentle for all skin tones.
Because RF energy is not absorbed by melanin, it is designed to be suitable across the full range of skin tones.
Always begin on the low setting and follow the included guidance. Do not use the device if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have an implanted electronic device such as a pacemaker, or have a medical condition affecting the treatment area. If unsure, speak to a qualified professional first.
