WORTH IT$400
I had this procedure done to my jowls and under my chin. I really had no expectations of this working but Groupon had a deal for $99 for one area. Well it turns out the doctor considers each nostril a separate area and I was up-sold when I got to the office, but that's a whole different story. I am 45 yrs, and I am beginning to see a laxity under my chin and around my mouth or jowls. The procedure was done by an assistant, not the doctor. It was comfortable and enjoyable to me. The heat never got too much for me. It felt like a facial massage that lasted apps 30 minutes. She gave me mirror halfway through to show me the immediate improvement when comparing each side of my face but meh, I couldn't really see anything. I went back 2 weeks later for another treatment and that's when I started to notice an improvement. After my third treatment and for about 3-4 months afterward, I saw a marked tightening of the skin under my chin. When I used a hand mirror and looked at my profile, my skin was completely taut under my chin. Truly it was. Then about 4 months later I'm back to where I started. Yes it's worth it if you have money to blow like that. Factoring in the fillers and Botox i get twice a year, it's a bit pricey for me to have to repeat this 3-4 times a year.

I was asked to provide pictures. Not really thrilled with the idea of my face plastered here, but what the hell.

Hi. You said you had 3 sessions. Have the results lasted? I had one session a month ago and loved it but my jowls/ neck fat have returned after a month. I'm wondering if I go for consecutive sessions, the results will be longer lasting.

I definitely think that 3 consecutive sessions provided a more drastic result, but I cannot say if it will last longer or not. I have something else to share, and maybe I should add this to my review. I do not have any proof or concrete knowledge of this, but I have a gut feeling that the Venus treatments actually left my jowls with MORE laxity, after the initial tightening faded. I believe that the treatment in some way weakened the matrix of my tissues. I will not purchase any further treatments of this particular type for this reason. I do not want to inadvertently hasten the aging process!!

thanks for sharing your overall experience. I am looking for a permanent solution to loose neck and jowls and didn't realize freeze only lasted a short time.

I do think the venus freeze works on the face and neck really well. If a doctor or spa tries to sell you on the rest of the body I cannot say from personal experience that I saw a difference. I really wish I could have applied what I invested to go solely to face treatments. The body was a complete waste of money. though I must say the girl who was the most helpful where I went thought the freeze would work on the face,neck and thirdly the tummy . I personally didn't see improvement on my abdomen. I eat right and exercise daily. I am not overweight but would prefer to be approx 7 lbs lighter to be back in the 120's. Just saying to help those who want a gauge of where I am at. FYI the girl that helped me the most said she does the freeze on her own face once a week to maintain and she looked like a teen. She is in her 30's. Bam...I plan to keep going once a month to maintain like she advised for my face and neck. Another fyi...I am 54...and people that see me when I am with my 24 year old daughter don't believe I am her Mom. They do assume e could be sisters or related. My daughter hates when this happens and tells me I don't need to do any treatments. Well I warned my hubby early on that I would do what I could to combat he aging process.Both my Mom & grandma were smokers. they both had deep wrinkles. I swore I would be different and break that trend. I am not perfect but I do not smoke. Plus I do all that I can to keep my body healthy. mainly because both my parents passed away on tier early 60's. based on my age I need to stack the chips in my favor and look good doing it ( LOL for the the looking good part) I SO hope my comment helps someone save $$$ but still get the result you want. :)
