What is Venus Viva Skin Resurfacing?

First, let’s answer the question that’s likely on your mind: what is Venus Viva skin resurfacing, exactly?

This non-surgical solution corrects skin damage using heat. Treatments can improve the appearance of:

  • Enlarged pores
  • Deep wrinkles
  • Uneven skin texture and pigmentation
  • Acne scars and other scars
  • Rosacea
  • Red or brown spots on the skin
  • Shallow scars from injuries or surgery
  • Lax skin around the jowls or neck
  • Sun damage or freckles

How does the skin repair process work? The treatment involves using tiny pins that safely deliver heat to the skin’s surface. The machine uses a NanoFractional Radio Frequency to create tiny, micro-dermal wounds.

Since the wounds are small, pain is minimal. In fact, these treatments are more comfortable than those involving traditional CO2 lasers. Meanwhile, patients still experience visible results.

The skin can naturally heal these wounds on its own.

Treatment can help repair skin conditions and signs of damage on the surface of your skin.

Your treatment provider can also combine the Venus Viva treatment with the DiamondPolar applicator. This applicator is designed to diminish fine lines and wrinkles. The applicator uses Multi-Polar Radio Frequency and Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields.

Together, these processes are able to produce uniform heat that travels under the skin’s surface. Your body can then increase collagen production. Collagen is the most abundant protein found in the human body.

It’s the building block for our muscles, bones, skins, ligaments, and tendons.

Collagen is also responsible for keeping our skin looking firm and elastic.

The applicator can increase collagen and elastin fibers naturally. You can treat skin problems and experience firmer, smoother skin as a result. By improving your collagen production, your skin should look younger as well.

The Benefits

With Venus Viva skin treatments, you can remedy your skin problems for smooth, unblemished skin.

Treatments can decrease your visible pores, helping your skin texture look smooth and even. Its anti-aging benefits can help your skin look youthful and fresh. You can also even out textural irregularities to help your skin look more refined.

Reducing acne scars and other blemishes can help your skin look clear and healthy.

Regular treatments can also help correct necklines, which can reduce the signs of aging. You can diminish and tighten lax skin as well.

By scheduling an appointment, you can reduce fine lines and wrinkles, skin problems, and other concerns with a non-surgical solution.

Since Venus Viva is a non-surgical treatment option, you won’t have to worry about downtime. Instead, you can receive your treatment and go home feeling refreshed. Over the next few days, your skin will heal, erasing unwanted blemishes.

These treatments are fast, too. They can take less than 30 minutes to treat one target area. You can avoid immediate, long-term benefits shortly after your treatment.

Beyond that, treatments are also safe. You won’t have to go under the knife or take potentially dangerous medications.

Instead, this treatment encourages your body’s natural collagen and fibroblast production. Delivering heat through the epidermis allows the applicator to target the dermis. Then, tissue remodeling can begin!

Who is an Ideal Candidate?

Women spend about $313 per month on their appearance. That’s about $225,360 over the course of a lifetime. Consider skin treatments like Venus Viva for their anti-aging benefits instead.

You’re an ideal candidate if you have skin problems and damage, including stretch marks, visible pores, deep wrinkles, and scars.

Venus Viva skin repair treatments are ideal for all skin tones. Other skin treatments, however, aren’t safe for darker skin tones.

There are situations when you might not be able to receive treatment, though. For example, people aren’t ideal candidates if they have/are:

  • Pregnant or nursing
  • History of skin disorders
  • History of very dry skin
  • An internal pacemaker/defibrillator or another active electrical implant
  • Any permanent injected substance or implant
  • Conditions such as a rash around the treatment area
  • Current or history of cancer
  • An impaired immune system
  • Severe concurrent conditions like cardiac disorders
  • A history of disease that’s stimulated by heat around the treatment area
  • Taking blood thinners
  • Had eyelid surgery or a facelift in the past three months
  • Received cosmetic injections in the past two weeks
  • Received resurfacing treatments or chemical peels within the past three months
  • Surgery within the past six months
  • Consumed Tylenol, Advil, or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatories in the past week
  • Tattoos or permanent makeup around the treatment area
  • Excessively tanned
  • Poorly controlled endocrine disorders like diabetes

Speak with a provider to better determine if you’re an ideal candidate for treatment.

How Do I Prepare Beforehand?

First, it’s important to make sure your skin is clean. Avoid tanning before your appointment. You’ll also need to remove any:

  • Lotions
  • Powders
  • Creams
  • Perfumes
  • Makeup

Make sure to remove all jewelry around the treatment area beforehand as well. Shave any excessive hair you have around the treatment area.

Before your appointment, you’ll need to review your medical history with a provider. Make sure to have this information prepared beforehand. Let your provider know if you’re taking any medications as well.

What Happens During Treatment?

Talk to your provider about using a topical anesthetic before your treatment. It can take about 20 minutes for the anesthetic to take effect. The topical anesthetic can reduce any discomfort you experience.

During your skin treatments, you’ll feel a little pinprick, followed by a small zap. Your skin will feel warm, as though you have a sunburn.

Your technician will use a special applicator to deliver a radiofrequency burst to the treatment area.

While the treatment can cause slight discomfort, it’s usually not painful. You might feel intense heat. Your skin will also look red following your treatment.

If you’re scheduling a more aggressive treatment, consider getting a topical numb cream to reduce feelings of discomfort.

Each treatment will last between 15 and 30 minutes. The duration varies depending on the treatment area.

You might need three to four treatments per area. How many sessions you need will depend on the area you’re treating. You can schedule these sessions four weeks apart.

You can talk to your provider about combining Venus Viva with other skin tightening treatments.

For example, IPL treatments could improve your color and tone. Chemical peels and microdermabrasion could clear acne lesions as well. Neurotoxin and tissue fillers could improve the aesthetic outcome, too.

What Happens After Treatment?

After your treatment, you might feel warm afterward. You can ease the redness and warmth by fanning your skin. Consider sitting in an area with cool air as well.

Your skin will remain red as your body’s immune system begins repairing the micro-damage from the bursts. It should only take a few days. Remember, the damage is only minimal.

Once your skin repairs, you’ll have smoother, younger-looking skin.

Only apply topicals that are recommended by your provider for the 24 hours following your appointment. Avoid other products, which might only cause irritation. Your warm skin should cool down after 24 hours.

Make sure to avoid scratching or touching the treatment area.

There is a 24-hour downtime period after treatment. For more aggressive treatments, the recovery time takes about five days. With traditional laser treatments, the downtime lasts up to 10 days.

After 24 hours, you can start resuming your normal skincare routine again. You can also put on makeup. Make sure to wear at least SPF 30 sunscreen before going outside.

Wearing sunscreen can help you prevent potential sun damage.

You should also avoid vigorous exercise, hot baths, and massages after your treatment. Give yourself at least two days before resuming these activities.

In the meantime, make an effort to keep your skin clean. Reapply your sunscreen as needed. Avoid tanning as well.

You should see results after your initial appointment. However, you might need more appointments to achieve your beauty goals.

Your results will continue to approve after your final treatment. However, your provider might suggest a touch-up session every six months. It depends on how your skin responds to treatment.

About a fourth of the money we spend on our appearances is dedicated to the face. About $17 a month is dedicated to anti-aging. With Venus Viva, you can save time and money while enjoying lasting results
