Venus Legacy / Venus Freeze Quebec

Venus Legacy / Venus Freeze offered at our Dermapure clinics in Quebec City combines multipolar radiofrequency with pulsed electromagnetic fields to heat the skin from within, gently and evenly. This warmth tightens existing collagen fibres while stimulating the fibroblasts, the cells that produce new collagen and elastin.

This treatment is most often considered by patients who would like to improve firmness and texture for smoother, firmer-feeling skin. It is carried out as a series of sessions, with improvements building gradually over the course of treatment. Venus Legacy / Venus Freeze can also be planned alongside other in-clinic treatments within a broader treatment plan.

Because every patient’s skin is different, Venus Legacy / Venus Freeze at our Dermapure clinics in Quebec City begins with a personalized consultation. Together with your specialist, you will assess whether this treatment is the most appropriate option for you and discuss what a realistic treatment plan could look like, the expected results and the possible side effects.

What to Expect During Your Session

Step 1

Identifying the target area

Accurately tracing an outline of the treatment area with a white makeup pencil helps define the area of skin to be treated. It’s important to note that the larger the treatment area, the less effective the skin-heating becomes, with an overall decrease in results. The technician follows the traced lines to ensure a quick and adequate build-up of heat needed for stimulating the skin’s natural collagenesis process.

Step 2

Applying a protective gel

Applying a thin layer of ultrasound gel to the treatment area protects the skin surface and allows the device nozzle to glide easily over skin.

Step 3

Starting the radio frequency treatment

Using multipolar radio frequency waves to heat tissues and stimulate surface production of collagen fibres is the primary objective of Venus Legacy / Venus Freeze. The metal nozzle—available in two sizes adapted to face and body respectively—glides gently over skin to evenly distribute its heat on the epidermis. The nozzle remains in motion throughout the entire session, and you will feel a continuous movement on your skin.

Step 4

Setting/validating temperature

It is very important that the technician maintain the right temperature during treatment. To do so, the technician uses a thermometer throughout the entire session. For the face, a temperature varying between 39°C and 41°C must be reached quickly, and then maintained, to maximize skin-firming results. For the body, the temperature varies between 42°C and 45°C—this higher heat setting not only firms skin, but also helps reshape body contours and target cellulite.

Step 5

Cleaning the treatment area and applying adapted products

The session ends with a quick clean of the treated area by the technician, using a triple-action toning gel. This caffeine-free gel contains active ingredients such as ginger and grapefruit extract that stimulate microcirculation, strengthen connective tissue and prevent the development of new cellulite.

Follow-Up & Maintenance

Upon completion of a full treatment plan, we strongly recommended that you undergo a maintenance session with the change of season. In doing so, you help retain the restorative firming effects for a few years. Venus Legacy / Venus Freeze technology is also a popular skin care treatment to complement Thermage and Ulthera treatments since it delivers surface benefits that work synergistically with the deeper skin benefits provided by both platforms. Ask your clinic about our post-treatment recommendations. Once the desired effects are achieved, the results will last so long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Contraindications

Women who are pregnant or nursing should postpone this type of treatment. Individuals with epilepsy or rosacea (who are considering a facial session only) should avoid this treatment.
