The VIVA is designed to be performed as a course of treatments. Initially it is recommended you begin with 3-6 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. We then reassess the skin to see if more sessions are required to stubborn areas.

Body:

• • • Most patients will experience a mild sunburn like sensation that lasts 2 to 5 hours
    • Moderate redness with some swelling, immediately after and lasting up to 12 – 36 hours
    • Raised, red marks may be present and may last 4-5 days
    • Some residual darkening may occur that may last 2+ weeks then fade
    • The treated area is generally sensitive to heat for 2 days following treatment.

We review the skin at 12 weeks after the recommended course has finished. This time frame allows us to see the success of the treatment. Before and after photo’s are then compared and results discussed.

Client s may choose to maintain the skin with 1 x yearly treatment of VIVA however this may not be necessary.
