RF Microneedling

The Venus Viva™ operates with revolutionary Nano-Fractional Radio Frequency™(RF) and SmartScan™ technology.

That delivers superior results through sectional dermal heating process minimal discomfort for enhanced client comfort.

Venus Viva™ skin resurfacing treatments work with tiny pins that safely deliver heat (via NanoFractional Radio Frequency) through the skin’s surface. This creates tiny micro-dermal wounds, which the body naturally heals on its own. This process repairs signs of skin damage visible on the surface of the skin. Since the wounds are so small, the treatment is much more comfortable than traditional CO2lasers, while still producing incredibly visible results.
Your treatment provider may also enhance your treatment plan with the DiamondPolar™ applicator, which works to further diminish lines and wrinkles*. The DiamondPolar™ applicator uses Multi-Polar Radio Frequency and Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields to produce uniform heat under the skin’s surface. This process helps to naturally increase collagen and elastin fibers, resulting in smoother, firmer skin that looks noticeably more youthful.

SAFE FOR ALL SKIN TONES:

Unlike most other skin resurfacing treatments that are not safe for darker skin tones, Venus Viva™ skin resurfacing is safe for all ethnicities, even for darker complexions.

LOW TO NO DOWNTIME:

Return to your daily skin care routine 24 hours after skin resurfacing treatments. No downtime at all for wrinkle reduction treatments.

QUICK TREATMENTS:

Sessions last only 15-30 minutes.

Venus Viva Skin Resurfacing Pre & Post Care

RF treatment before and after

Pre Care

  • Wear sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 and avoid excessive sun exposure.
  • Discontinue the use of Accutane for 6 months prior to the procedure.
  • Discontinue the use of products such as Retin A, Hydroquinone, higher strength glycolic acids, and any acne products such as those containing Salicylic Acid or Benzyl Peroxide, for 3 days prior to the procedure.
  • A topical numbing cream will be applied and left on the skin for 30 minutes prior to treatment.
  • Be sure to have any of your questions answered regarding post treatment expectations and skin care before you leave. Check your supply of post treatment skincare products to be sure you have enough to get you through the recovery phase.
  • Photos will be taken before your first session to document the condition of your skin and pigment prior to treatment. They may be repeated in between treatments and at the end of treatment and are available for you to review with your aesthetician at any time. Although the photos are required, they will not be used in a way which would reveal your identity without your expressed consent.

Post Care

  • Wear sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 and avoid excessive sun exposure.
  • Do not resume the use of products such as Retin A, Hydroquinone, higher strength glycolic acids, and any acne products such as those containing Salicylic Acid or Benzyl Peroxide until advised to do so. Most clients will resume their prior skincare regimen sometime during the second week post procedure.
  • The duration of swelling and redness will vary according to individual variations but also according to the settings used. On average swelling lasts 1 to 2 days and redness may persist for another 5 days. However, most clients having the procedure performed on a Friday afternoon feel quite comfortable returning to work on the following Monday morning.
  • Although the skin appears to be intact, microscopically there are tiny ‘holes’ present which increase the risk of infection. Wash your hands frequently and/or use alcohol based hand gels. Avoid touching your face as much as possible. Anything which touches the skin, particularly in the first 3 to 5 days post- procedure, must be clean. This is why we recommend only the use of mineral makeup powder (which does not support the growth of bacteria that can contaminate makeup) during this time. Use disposable makeup sponges for application, or be sure to thoroughly wash your makeup brushes with brush cleaner prior to using them in your recovery phase.
  • Redness or swelling that gets progressively worse is not expected. If this occurs you must notify us immediately or, if need be, go to an emergency room. Although rare, this does remain a theoretical concern and potential treatment complication.
  • Although improvement can be seen even after 1 treatment, expect multiple treatments will be needed for maximum results Collagen building will continue to occur even in the 3 months after your final treatment
