Improving the appearance of textural skin conditions such as scars (including acne scars), Stretch Marks, fine lines, Rosacea, striae, uneven skin texture, enlarged pores, dyscromia and pigmentation across all skin tones
A non-invasive treatment that combines NanoFractional Radio Frequency (RF) and SmartScan technology to deliver heat energy deep into the skin. This energy stimulates collagen production, while also resurfacing the other skin layer to improve texture and reduce imperfections.
How it works:
Radio-frequency energy is delivered through tiny pins that penetrate the skin’s surface.
The heat promotes collagen remodelling and skin renewal.
It targets deeper layers of the skin compared to traditional microneedling.
Benefits:
Effective for deeper wrinkles, scars, and more significant skin texture issues.
Treats acne scars, enlarged pores, stretch marks, and hyperpigmentation.
Safe for all skin types and tones.
Minimal downtime (redness for 1-2 days).
Fewer treatments are typically required than with traditional microneedling.
Drawbacks
Higher cost compared to microneedling.
May cause more discomfort during the procedure.
Possible temporary side effects like swelling, redness, and dryness.
Key Differences:
Depth of treatment: Venus Viva penetrates deeper into the skin layers compared to microneedling, making it more effective for signifiant scars or deeper wrinkles.
Technology: Microneedling is mechanical, while Venus Viva uses radio-frequency combined with heat energy.
Downtime: Both have relatively short downtime, but Venus Viva may lead to a slightly longer recovery in some cases.
Number of treatments: Microneedling often requires more sessions to achieve similar results to what Venus Viva can provide in fewer sessions
Microneedling is ideal if you are looking for a gentler, more affordable option for mild to moderate skin concerns like fine lines or mild acne scars.
RF is a better option for those seeking to address deeper wrinkles, significant acne scarring, or more advanced skin texture issues, and who are willing to invest in a higher-cost treatment with fewer sessions.
Ultimately, the best treatment depends on your specific skin concerns, your tolerance for downtime, and your budget.

RF skin resurfacing treatments may be slightly uncomfortable, but not painful. You’ll feel intense heat, similar to the feeling of sunburn, and your face will look red right after the treatment. For more aggressive treatments, you may get a topical numbing cream to reduce any discomfort.
Your skin will be red and feel warm afterward, like a sunburn. Follow the post care instructions given to you by your treatment provider.
Yes, but only for 24 hours post-treatment or up to 5 days for more aggressive treatments. Follow the post care instructions given by your provider.
After your final treatment, your results will continue to improve. However, one touch- up session may be needed approximately every 6 months, depending on how your skin responds.
Avoid touching or scratching the treatment area. For the first 24 hours, only apply products that are expressly recommended by your treatment provider, as there are many topicals that could cause severe irritation. After 24 hours, you should apply sunscreen (at least SPF 30), preferably one without chemicals. Also avoid rigorous exercise and hot baths or massages on the treatment area for the first 2 days after your session. Make sure to keep your skin clean and protected from the sun. Avoid any sort of tanning.
