Venus Viva™ Skin Resurfacing

Visible Results of Innovative Skin Resurfacing

Venus Viva combines NanoFractional Radio Frequency (RF) and SmartScan technology into a system that delivers proven results through a skin heating process that offers minimal discomfort to the patient. Venus Viva is designed for use in dermatological procedures. Venus Viva delivers energy through the epidermis, to the dermis, to generate heat and initiate skin change, rebuilding collagen and fibroblast stimulation, all resulting in tissue remodeling. Because it does not use laser or light, Venus Viva allows for all skin types and locations (except eyelids and lips) to be treated. Benefits of this treatment include the reduction of wrinkles, skin laxity, scars, acne scars, pores, textural irregularities, tone, and superficial skin lesions.

​

Venus Viva treatments are most effective when done as a series of treatments, with at least 3 treatments being completed, usually in 4-6 week intervals. Multiple treatments are needed for full effects and you will continue to see your improvements develop, becoming more and more noticeable 2-6 months after your series is completed. 

​

Most patients elect to have Venus Viva treatments to their face, although some patients also have their necks and/or chests treated. The only areas that are not able to be treated with Venus Viva are the eyelids and lips.

​

Shortly after the treatment there will be moderate redness and some light swelling of the treated zone in patterns the size of the treatment applicator. The redness should stop after a few hours, and the swelling should go down within 12-24 hours.You may experience itchiness as the sites continue to heal. You may take an over-the-counter allergy pill if you desire or by apply hydrocortisone cream. Do not scratch, itch, or pick at the sites.

Venus Viva results will continue to develop over the coming months, as new collagen is created. Each session will further ablate and resurface the skin, resulting in a reduction of wrinkles, skin laxity, smaller pores, textural irregularities, and scarring. Again some patients with melasma will also notice the breaking up of various pigment.
