Venus Viva is a brand name for a non-surgical skin resurfacing device that utilizes fractional radiofrequency (RF) technology. The device delivers tiny pulses of RF energy deep into the skin layers, stimulating collagen production and promoting skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, and overall rejuvenation.
Pros:
Minimally invasive with minimal downtime.
Targets various concerns like wrinkles, fine lines, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture.
Safe for most skin types.
Offers noticeable improvement in skin laxity and texture.
Cons:
Multiple treatments may be needed for optimal results.
Can be uncomfortable or cause slight pain during the procedure.
Some patients experience temporary redness or swelling after treatment.
Results are not permanent and require maintenance sessions over time.
Alternatives:
- Laser skin resurfacing offers deeper penetration and more dramatic results but comes with greater downtime and risk of side effects.
- Microneedling is a less expensive option but might require more frequent sessions for similar results.
Recovery Time: Downtime is minimal, with most patients experiencing redness for a day or two. Makeup can usually be applied the next day.
