How Long Do Venus Freeze Results Last?
Most patients undergo a series of six to eight treatments, and their results improve during the three to four months after that initial series. But Venus Freeze won’t completely stop the body from aging, so patients often return for maintenance treatments every several months.How Does This Treatment System Work?
The Venus system relies on radiofrequency energy and electromagnetic pulses to deeply heat the skin in a way that spurs collagen production. The treatment is administered through an external applicator that we’ll move slowly over the part of the body you want to target. You’ll feel a gentle warmth as the applicator does its work, and many patients say the sensation is like that of a hot stone massage.Depending on the scope of the treatment area, it’s not uncommon for patients to schedule six or eight appointments, each of which takes place about one week apart. We’ll make a specific recommendation for you regarding the number of treatments once we’ve had a chance to assess your skin.
What Can Venus Freeze Accomplish?
The Venus treatment system can be used all over the body. The technology behind Venus Freeze can fill in lines and wrinkles, tighten sagging skin, add contour to your body, and restore a youthful, radiant complexion. This treatment system can even reduce cellulite. Does it all sound too good to be true? It really isn’t.What Can I Expect During My Treatment?
Venus Freeze treatments are simple, straightforward, usually take no more than 30 minutes, and are performed in the comfort of our office. We’ll first apply a gel to the skin in the treatment area that will help the applicator glide smoothly over your body. As we begin working with the applicator, you’ll feel the heat gradually rise. Most patients say the heat level is very manageable, but we can lower it if you feel uncomfortable.Will I Need to Take Any Special Precautions Before or After My Appointment?
Because the applicator is placed directly against your skin, we recommend that patients don’t apply makeup, lotions, or moisturizers on the morning of their treatment. We also ask patients to remove any jewelry in the treatment area. Once your appointment is over, you’ll be able to return immediately to your regular schedule and even reapply cosmetics. Some patients even schedule these appointments during their lunch hour.Who Is a Good Candidate?
The first step to finding out if you are a candidate for Venus Freeze is to schedule an initial consultation with the friendly professionals at our practice. During this session, we’ll review your medical history, evaluate your skin, and talk with you about your areas of concern and what you’re hoping to achieve. We’ll work with you to determine if this is the right cosmetic treatment for you. But there are several signs you may be an especially good candidate.You’re Unhappy With the Look of Your Skin
This treatment can be an ideal option for any patient who has noticed that their skin has become less elastic. If your skin has begun wrinkling or sagging, this treatment can tighten, recontour, and rejuvenate it.Your Skin Is Healthy
Patients who seek out this treatment should have skin that is healthy and free of infection and inflammation. If the skin in the treatment area is not in good condition on the day of your treatment, we may ask you to reschedule your appointment.You Are In Good Overall Health
Ideal patients are in good general health, do not have a skin-related autoimmune disease, and do not have a Pacemaker or an internal defibrillator. Metal implants should also not be present in the treatment area. Patients who are pregnant or undergoing IVF treatments are not candidates.You’re Not Looking for a Fast Fix
This treatment system works by kickstarting collagen production, which helps plump and firm the skin. Because it can take a period of weeks for your body to make that collagen, your results will develop gradually.This treatment system may not be the best option if you want to quickly rejuvenate your appearance before next weekend’s college reunion or some other immediate event, but if you can wait for your results to fully take hold, you’ll be rewarded by choosing Venus Freeze.
