The Venus Viva is a device that can effectively treat many signs of skin aging using fractional radio frequency technology.
This mildly ablative treatment combines heat and radio frequency to stimulate an inflammatory reaction that causes the activation of natural skin repair mechanisms, including the formation of collagen and elastin by fibroblasts.
Several conditions related to skin aging or skin damage can be treated and improved with Venus Viva. In addition to reducing visible fine lines and wrinkles, fractional radio frequency reduce skin laxity and improve texture, tighten pores, reduce scars and stretch marks, and even out the complexion.
Though often used in treatment of the face, eye contouring, the neck and décolleté, Venus Viva is also an excellent treatment to reduce the appearance of stretch marks and scars on the body.
During the initial consultation you will meet one of our professionals who will first assess whether the Venus Viva is the appropriate solution to meet your needs. The technology will then be explained to you in detail and a treatment plan including the ideal number of sessions will be recommended.
Although treatment may cause discomfort, it is not painful. To ensure maximum comfort, a topical anesthetic will be applied to your skin about 30 minutes prior to treatment. The treatment is usually done in 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area to be treated.
Since fractional radio frequency stimulates the collagen restructuring process, the results will not be visible immediately after treatment. The maximum effect should be observed about 3 months after your final treatment.
Fractional radio frequency is an effective treatment that makes skin look smoother, firmer, less wrinkled and younger-looking.
Resurfacing the skin with Venus Viva involves minimal recovery time and does not require you to stop your usual activities. Depending on the level of intensity used for your treatment, redness and mild inflammation may be present for a period of 1 to 3 days.
Although this response varies from person to person, a series of 3-4 initial treatments, at intervals of 4 weeks is usually recommended for optimal results. Thereafter, maintenance treatments should be performed every 6-12 months to maintain results.
During the initial consultation, your healthcare professional will advise you on the best treatment approach to meet your needs.
As previously mentioned, to preserve the results obtained, we recommend doing a maintenance treatment every 6 months. In addition, the combination with other professional treatments offered in the clinic and a personalized skin care routine will ensure the maintenance and optimization of your results.
Although it is a very safe technology, there are some contraindications to the use of fractional radio frequency.
The treatment cannot be performed if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, if you have an infection in the area to be treated (for example a cold sore) or if you have a metal implant in the area to be treated. Also, it will be impossible to proceed with the treatment if a medical-aesthetics procedure has been performed in the area to be treated during the month preceding the treatment.
A complete assessment including a health questionnaire will be performed by your healthcare professional before the first treatment to ensure that you are a good candidate, and that the treatment will be carried out safely under the medical supervision of a doctor.
