Venus Viva™

The Venus Viva™ is the ultimate solution for facial rejuvenation and is the latest Venus Concept product to hit the market.

What kind of skin type the treatment addresses?
The Venus Viva™ is safe, non-invasive and suitable for all skin types. Unlike most other skin resurfacing treatments that are not safe for darker skin tones, Venus Viva™ is safe for all ethnicities, even for darker complexions.

One Venus Viva session could lead up to 60% improvement in fine lines, scars, and pigmentation problems on face and neck (seen after a series of 3 treatments).

How does it work?

The Venus Viva™ operates with the revolutionary NanoFractional Radio
Frequency™(RF) and SmartScan™ technology that delivers superior results through selectional dermal heating process.

The patient will be completely numb prior to treatment. This will provide the patient with minimal discomfort felt during the treatment.

What is the NanoFractional Radio Frequency™ (RF)/ SmartScan™?
The use of NanoFractional RF™ delivers energy deep in to the dermis generating heat and initiating skin changes, remodeling collagen and causing the tissue to regenerate thus producing a fresher younger looking skin.

While the NanoFractional RF™ applicator, can address indications not treated effectively before by other fractional RF devices, the patented SmartScan™ technology allows for greater depth of penetration, flexible treatment sizes, and safer, more improved energy delivery for highly visible results.

What can I expect during the procedure?
Upon arriving at the office the nurse will assist you in applying numbing cream on the entire treatment area. This is a specialty compound of medication to ensure maximum possible comfort the entire treatment.
Treatments take approximately 20 minutes, patients can expect to see smoother, clearer and younger looking skin after one treatment but full results are seen after a series of three treatments are performed.
