Venus Legacy / Venus Freeze

Venus Legacy / Venus Freeze combines pulsed electromagnetic fields with multipolar radio frequency waves to safely, continuously and uniformly heat skin from the inside.*

Book an Appointment

The radio frequency’s thermal effect acts on the dermis to tighten slack collagen fibres and stimulate fibroblasts to produce new collagen, elastin fibres and supporting tissue. These corrective measures help create firmer, smoother-looking skin.

Pulsed electromagnetic fields stimulate the production of lipase, an enzyme that stimulates the elimination of fat stores in fat cells (adipocytes), resulting in a visible improvement of body contours and as well as a significant reduction in cellulite. It takes several weekly sessions to deliver the best visible and lasting results; it is therefore important to complete a full treatment, which includes 8 sessions for the face and 10 sessions for the body.

*Depending on selected parameters, the treatment targets subcutaneous fat to help reshape body contours and to reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Areas of Interventions

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a Venus Legacy / Venus Freezetreatment session typically last, and what areas of the face and body can be treated?

A typical Venus Legacy / Venus Freeze session lasts approximately 30 to 90 minutes, with no downtime afterward. These treatments can target various areas of the face and body, including the eyelids, jawline, chest, neck, arms, abdomen, buttocks, and thighs. The versatility of this technology allows for effective skin tightening, body contouring, and cellulite reduction.

How many sessions are recommended for optimal and lasting results, and why is it important to complete a full treatment?

For optimal and lasting results, completing a full course of Venus Freeze/Venus Legacy treatment is essential. Eight sessions are recommended for the face and ten sessions for the body. Consistency ensures maximum collagen stimulation and fat reduction, yielding firmer skin and improved body contours. Each session builds upon the previous one, enhancing the overall outcome. Completing the entire treatment protocol maximizes the benefits of the technology, ensuring long-term improvements in skin tightness, cellulite reduction, and body shaping.

How do the results manifest, and when can patients expect to see visible improvements in skin firmness, reduction of cellulite, and reshaping of body contours, especially on mature skin?

Patients can begin to notice visible improvements in skin firmness, reduction of cellulite, and reshaping of body contours after undergoing a series of Venus Legacy / Venus Freeze sessions. Results manifest gradually over time, with the most significant improvements becoming evident after completing the full recommended plan. The process can take slightly longer to yield visible results on mature skin, where collagen production may be diminished.

What are the expected sensations during a Venus Legacy / Venus Freeze treatment, and are there any temporary side effects to be aware of?

During a Venus Legacy / Venus Freeze treatment, patients may experience sensations of warmth and gentle pulling as the device's applicator moves across the skin. These sensations are typically comfortable and well-tolerated by most individuals. Mild redness in the treated area is common immediately following the session. These effects usually subside within a few hours.

What precautions should patients take before and after a Venus Legacy / Venus Freeze session, and are there any restrictions on normal activities following the treatment?

Before a Venus Legacy / Venus Freeze session, patients should ensure their skin is clean and free of any lotions, creams, or makeup on and around the treatment area. It's also advisable to avoid sun exposure and tanning beds prior to the session. After the treatment, there is no downtime, and patients can resume normal activities immediately. It is important for patients to keep the treated area clean and moisturized and apply sunscreen to protect the skin when going outdoors.
