Venus Viva

Venus Viva™ is a medical tool from Venus Concept, Canada. With Nano Fractional Radio Frequency and Smart Scan Technology, Venus Viva™ is potentially used for recover acne scars and atrophic scars, remove large facial pores, reduce wrinkles around face, neck, and hands, lift facial and neck skin, even your skin tone, exfoliate and brighten your skin, and also treat unwanted white stretch marks. It is safe, suitable for all skin types, and operated by a professional physician.

Principle

It is a combination of Nanofractional Radio Frequency (1 MHz and 460 KH) and Smart Scan Technology which not only rhythmically controls Multi-Polar RF releasing but also emits energy wave densely expanding to all areas. With 160 various sharp needles at the tip, each needle precisely releases 62 mJ. Its small footprints (150 x 20 micron) can release energy up to 1000 rhythms and deeply transmit 400 microns.

Venus Viva™ transmits appropriate heat energy to the dermis, causing ablation and coagulation, which will activate collagen and fibroblast production and also rearrange the skin tissue structures. These processes are suitable for treating flabby skin and wrinkles, adjusting skin tone, and tightening the skin. With small treatment areas, the skin can be fully recovered with lowest pain. The energy level and amplitude can be modified depending on patient’s skin problems.

Suitable for:

1. Recover acne scars and atrophic scars (Each treatment improves your skin 20-40%. A distinctive result will be showed after 3-4 follow ups).
2. Remove large facial pores and flabby skin, causing tighter pores and smooth skin.
3. Reduce wrinkles around face, neck, and hands.
4. Lift facial and neck skin.
5. Even the skin tone.
6. Exfoliate and brighten the skin
7. Reduce white stretch marks
***The treatment should be continued and regular retreated every 1-3 month***
