Results are not dramatic or permanent. Touch-up sessions a few times a year are often necessary to maintain results.
Not everyone is a good candidate for Venus Legacy.

What Concerns Can Venus Legacy Treat?

Venus Legacy treatments offer skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, cellulite reduction and body contouring without invasive surgery. This innovative treatment combines pulsed electromagnetic fields, patented MP technology, and multipolar radio-frequency to deliver a therapeutic and soothing heat matrix. The tissue experiences a thermal reaction from the radio frequency. This stimulates the body’s natural healing mechanism.

What Do Treatments Feel Like?

Venus Legacy treatments are non-invasively performed without any pain or discomfort. Treatments utilize a simple suction and heat method, which feels much like a heated massage or hot stone therapy massage. Treatments are performed in a treatment bed, where gel is applied to enable easy gliding of the applicator and protect the skin. The patient will feel the consistent, smooth movements of the applicator as it glides across the skin’s surface.

The heat gradually increases; however, the temperature will be kept at a comfortable level. Treatments take between 15 and 40 minutes, depending on the area’s size and the areas being treated. Other than a little warmth and redness immediately after treatment, there are no side effects.

How Long Does it Take to See Results?

You should begin to see an immediate improvement, and results will continue to build after each session. Individual results rely on generating new collagen and elastin fibers. You won’t see final results until three to four months after your last treatment in a series.

Most patients require six to ten treatments to achieve optimal results. After you have finished your sessions, you can maintain your new appearance with a good exercise routine, a healthy diet, and an at-home care routine.

During your initial consultation, our expert providers will discuss how many treatments are necessary to achieve desired results for the treatment area(s).

What Makes Someone a Good Candidate?

Patients of all skin tones may be candidates for Venus Legacy treatment. This technology offers successful results for many different skin tones, ranging from fair to dark complexions. Good candidates are at or close to their ideal weight with some small fat pockets. Candidates must also have mild to moderate skin laxity with minimal sun damage.

Those with a history of cancer, specific disorders, and auto-immune diseases may not be ideal candidates for this treatment, in addition to women who are pregnant or women undergoing IVF treatments.
