WHAT IS VENUS VIVA FOR STRETCH MARKS?
Venus Viva is an advanced non-surgical solution that utilises cutting-edge technology to address new and old stretch marks. This state-of-the-art treatment harnesses the power of radiofrequency (RF) energy to stimulate collagen production and promote skin renewal, leaving your skin looking revitalised and more youthful.
Venus Viva delivers controlled heat deep into the skin, triggering the body’s natural collagen production. Collagen is a key component for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness, making it an essential factor in reducing the visibility of stretch marks.
For stretch marks specifically, Venus Viva encourages the production of collagen and elastin, two proteins crucial for maintaining skin elasticity. By promoting the generation of these proteins, the treatment aims to improve the texture, tone, and overall appearance of stretch marks, making them less noticeable over time.
The radiofrequency energy delivered by Venus Viva helps to target the affected areas precisely, promoting skin remodeling and minimizing the appearance of stretch marks by enhancing the skin’s natural rejuvenation process. Multiple sessions may be recommended to achieve optimal results, depending on the severity of the stretch marks and individual skin response.
How Does it Work?
Radio Frequency (RF)
Venus Viva is a non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment designed to improve the appearance of scars, fine lines, wrinkles, and skin texture irregularities. Using advanced NanoFractional Radio Frequency (RF) and SmartScan technology, Venus Viva delivers controlled energy to the skin’s deeper layers, stimulating collagen production and promoting natural healing processes.
The treatment involves the use of a handheld device that gently ablates tiny columns of skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact. This process triggers the body’s natural repair mechanism, leading to the regeneration of healthy skin cells and the reduction of scar tissue.
BENEFITS
of Stretch mark treatment
Venus Viva is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses radiofrequency technology to improve stretch marks.
Collagen Stimulation
Encourages the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for skin elasticity. This helps in reducing the appearance of stretch marks by improving skin texture and tone.
Minimal Downtime
Patients usually experience minimal downtime post-treatment. However, the skin might appear slightly red or feel warm immediately after the treatment.
Gradual Improvement
While some results might be visible after the initial treatment, optimal results typically appear gradually over multiple sessions.
IDEAL FOR
Venus Viva works by delivering controlled thermal energy into the skin’s deeper layers. This process encourages the production of new collagen and elastin, which helps to minimise the appearance of stretch marks by improving skin elasticity and promoting tissue remodeling.
It’s suitable for individuals with different skin types and tones to improve:
**Results may vary from person to person
PROCEDURE
The procedure involves the use of a handheld device that emits a grid of tiny pins combined with radiofrequency energy. These pins create micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response and stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for skin elasticity.
It’s important to note that individual results may vary, and the effectiveness of Venus Viva for stretch marks can depend on factors such as the type of scars, the patient’s skin condition, and adherence to the recommended treatment plan.
Patients typically experience minimal downtime, with some redness and slight swelling immediately following the treatment, which usually subsides within a few days. Results can be seen after a few sessions, with continued improvement over time as new collagen forms and the skin gradually heals.
NOTE: In the case of new red stretch marks, IPL may be more suitable.
Consultation is essential to determine the most suitable treatment approach for your specific needs.
