Venus Viva Skin Tightening

The Venus Viva treatments tighten existing collagen fibers in the dermis, while also stimulating collagen production cells to make new collagen in the skin. This results in tightened, smooth skin, as well as reduced wrinkles.

HOW THE PROCEDURE WORKS
Fractional Venus Viva treatments use nano-sized pin formations on the treatment head to send microscopic columns of RF energy through the skin to the dermis. The radiofrequency causes heat in the dermis, injuring existing collagen, and stimulating the body’s own healing response—resulting in the production of new collagen. The Fractional Venus Viva procedure only lasts 15 minutes, and may involve using a topical anesthetic cream and cryogen skin cooler to further increase comfort, if the patient desires.*

RECOVERY AND HEALING
Because the pin formation on the head is so small, the Venus Viva device causes greater tissue injury to the dermis rather than the epidermis. This allows for little to no downtime. However, there are possible side effects such as red, warm skin or mild irritation, both of which will resolve in only a few hours.* Further post-treatment care will be discussed before and after your treatment is completed.

HOW LONG DOES THE PROCEDURE TAKE?
Treatment time varies depending on the area(s) treated, and can range from 30-60 minutes.* Topical anesthesia may be used and requires an additional 20 minutes.*

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER TREATMENT?
Most patients experience redness and mild swelling for 12-48 hours after a Venus Viva treatment, and may feel like a mild sunburn sensation. For 24 hours after the treatment you may only apply Aquaphor to the skin. You cannot apply any other topical products or makeup.

WHEN WILL I SEE THE RESULTS?
Results begin to develop within 6 weeks as the collagen regeneration process is initiated, and full results can be seen up to 6 months post-treatment.**
