Venus Viva™ Nano Fractional Radio Frequency Skin Resurfacing

Smoother Skin Without the Downtime

When it comes to skin resurfacing, CO2 lasers used to be the frontrunner, but these procedures also came with a lot of pain and downtime that could last several weeks, if not longer (since they essentially remove the top layer of your skin).

Venus Viva™ skin resurfacing treatments, on the other hand, deliver the same results, just with significantly less pain and much lower downtime. And unlike lasers, which only work for fair complexions, Venus Viva™ treatments are safe for all skin tones. You’ll also notice much better results than with superficial treatments like chemical peels and microdermabrasion.

How it Works

Venus Viva™ skin resurfacing treatments work with tiny pins that safely deliver heat (via NanoFractional Radio Frequency) through the skin’s surface. This creates tiny micro-der-mal wounds, which the body naturally heals on its own. This process repairs signs of skin damage visible on the surface of the skin. Since the wounds are so small, the treatment is much more comfortable than traditional CO2 lasers, while still producing incredibly visible results.

Your Selfology Therapist may also enhance your treatment plan with the DiamondPolar™ applicator, which works to further diminish lines and wrinkles. The DiamondPolar™ applicator uses Multi-Polar Radio Frequency and Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields to produce uniform heat under the skin’s surface. This process helps to naturally increase collagen and elastin fibers, resulting in smoother, firmer skin that looks noticeably more youthful.

For safety reasons, you may not be able to get this treatment if you have/are:

An Internal defibrillator/pacemaker or any other active electrical implant in the body
Any permanent implant or injected substance around the treatment area
Any active conditions in the treatment area (e.g. rash)

Current or history of cancer (including pre-malignant moles)

Post-Treatment Care

POST-TREATMENT CARE

Venus Viva™ Fractional RF is usually performed as an outpatient procedure, using topical anesthetic.

POST-PROCEDURAL CARE – DAY 1 TO 5

The healing time for any given treatment varies between different clients. The following represents the general recovery phases you might expect. Individual clients may experience variations from this course.

Swelling/Discomfort/Redness:

Swelling of your wrinkles occurs immediately. Significant swelling and redness of the treated areas and untreated parts may occur following your procedure and will be maximal at 24 – 48 hours.

To minimize swelling, keep your head elevated. It is not uncommon for clients to experience under-eye swelling for the first 1 to 2 days, but this swelling will subside. There will be redness and slight heat emanating from the treated area for the first 24 hours, akin to a mild sunburn. It is unusual to experience severe or excessive pain; you should notify us if this occurs.

Tiny scabs will usually be formed 24 – 72 hours post-treatment and may remain for several days. The scabs should not be touched or scratched even if they itch and should be allowed to shed off naturally.

Activity:

Some mild discomfort may occasionally follow resurfacing treatment. You may return to regular activities immediately. It is advised that you switch to a clean pillowcase and that you should avoid hot baths, saunas, Jacuzzis, and pools for the first two days following treatment. This is due to the bacteria common to these sites which can affect the skin post-resurfacing and cause an infection.

Some minor heat emanating from the treated area is normal, but please do not apply ice or cooling compresses, as that heat is the body’s natural healing response.

Moisturizer:

For the safest clinical outcomes, it is advised to apply nothing on the treated skin area for the first 24 hours. Thereafter (24 hours post treatment and onward) moisturizer may be applied.

Avoid any product or supplement high in Vitamin A, such as retinoic acid, glycolic acid, salicylic acids, tretinoin (Retin-A), and alpha-hydroxy acids and chemical peels for at least One (1) weeks.

Make-Up:

After 24 hours, most resurfacing clients are ready for makeup to hide the pinkness of the skin. If applied, it is important that you remove all makeup from the skin at night. Do not sleep with make up on the treated area.

Avoiding the Sun:

Avoiding direct sun should become a permanent component of your long-term skin care program. Always use an SPF 30 or greater beginning 24 – 48 hours after the skin has fully healed. Sun exposure, tanning beds, and artificial sunless tanning lotions are notallowed in the treated areas during the course of the treatment and healing. Long-Term

Skin Care:

In addition to avoiding direct sun exposure, we suggest all clients use long-term skin care that will optimize the youthful, rejuvenated appearance you have achieved. We offer clients a program for long-term facial skin maintenance This unique program offers state- of-the-art skin maintaining and rejuvenating creams that are only available and administered by our medical team.

≡ Selfology FAQ—Venus Viva™ Nano Fractional Radio Frequency Skin Resurfacing

TECHNOLOGY

Venus Viva™ features two applicators: the NanoFractional Radio Frequency (RF) applicator for procedures requiring ablation and resurfacing of the skin, and the DiamondPolar™ applicator for non-invasive wrinkle reduction *.

NANOFRACTIONAL RF™ APPLICATOR

Designed to resurface the skin, which helps reduce the appearance of acne scars and other scars, striae, rosacea, dyschromia, deep wrinkles, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture and pigmentation for all skin types

A published clinical study showed that four weeks after the last treatment, total surface area, length, and width of striae alba significantly decreased from the baseline (p < 0.001). Patient satisfaction scores of “Satisfied” and “Very Satisfied” for changes on texture, size, and overall improvement were 96.67%, 93.94%, and 96.97%, respectively.1

Another peer-reviewed clinical study showed that NanoFractional RF™ is effective in improving skin texture and pigmentation.2

PATENTED TIP TECHNOLOGY

Tip is one of the largest spot sizes in the industry and delivers up to 700 pulses
Energy is scanned and flows through the groups of needle-shaped pins, and penetrates deep into the tissue
Energy is distributed through small footprint per pin (160 x 38 µm2) at variable energy densities in a single tip, reducing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)3 and leaving sufficient intact tissue in between, for faster wound healing, uniform post-treatment tissue appearance, and low downtime
No return pads allow for more homogenous energy delivery, resulting in safer treatments and consistent clinical outcomes

SMARTSCAN™ TECHNOLOGY

Uses unique algorithm and pattern selection technology that enables operator to generate customized patterns for maximum flexibility and control during treatment
Enables ablation and coagulation of the epidermis and dermis zone in a fractional manner, resulting in more effective skin resurfacing for mild to severe skin conditions.

DIAMONDPOLAR™ APPLICATOR WITH (MP)2 TECHNOLOGY

Uses proprietary (MP)2 technology, a combination of Multi-Polar Radio Frequency (RF) and Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields (PEMF), to treat moderate to severe wrinkles and rhytides
Multi-Polar RF uses a complex algorithm to deliver homogeneous energy and volumetric heating to multiple tissue depths, allowing for quick and safe buildup of heat, and easy maintenance of therapeutic temperature throughout the treatment
Effect of Multi-Polar RF is enhanced by PEMF, a non-thermal mechanism emitted through the applicator’s electrodes
RF heats and directly stimulates fibroblasts, while PEMF induces fibroblast proliferation through release of the growth factor FGF-2
Through synergistic (MP)2, RF directly stimulates fibroblasts, while PEMF is known to induce fibroblast proliferation and stimulate new collagen production through release of the growth factor FGF-24
Unique electrode placement allows for treatment around the eyes, along the jowls, and other smaller areas
Treatments with this applicator are comfortable with no downtime, and RF technology is proven safe for all skin types
