Question 1

What is Venus Freeze?

Accepted Answer

Venus Freeze is a nonsurgical skin-tightening treatment that combines multi-polar radiofrequency energy and pulsed electro-magnetic fields to boost collagen and elastin. The treatment can be performed on the face, neck, and body to reduce wrinkles and firm sagging skin.

Despite its name, Venus Freeze works with heat. Radiofrequency energy is delivered deep into the skin in the form of heat, which contracts existing collagen and elastin fibers (the proteins that give skin structure and elasticity) and triggers a natural healing response that promotes the production of more. This firms and tightens the skin over time as new collagen and elastin forms, improving the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

Because Venus Freeze targets skin below the surface, it's considered suitable for all skin tones.

Doctors recommend a series of six to eight Venus Freeze treatments for the face and up to 10 for the body, spaced one week apart.

Question 2

What happens during a Venus Freeze treatment?

Accepted Answer

Your provider will ask you to arrive with clean skin (no makeup or moisturizer) and to remove any jewelry near your treatment area. To prep, they will apply a gel—similar to what’s used during an ultrasound—to create a barrier between your skin and the device.

During the noninvasive treatment, your provider will run the handheld Venus Freeze applicator repeatedly over your skin, gradually increasing the heat level. The treatment should last 15–30 minutes, depending on the area treated. Larger areas of the body may take longer.

It shouldn’t hurt or feel too hot; some RealSelf members even compare it to a hot-stone massage. If you feel any discomfort from the heat, your provider can dial it back.

After the treatment, your skin will be a little pink, but you can return immediately to your daily activities without pain, discomfort, or restriction. There’s no real downtime.

Question 3

How soon will you see Venus Freeze results?

Accepted Answer

Your skin may tighten a little bit right away, but you'll see optimal results within three to four months of your final session in the series, once the new elastin and collagen has developed. Some people see benefits for as long as two years, as the skin cells continue to turn over more rapidly.

Question 4

How much does Venus Freeze cost?

Accepted Answer

It’s generally more cost-effective to purchase a package of multiple sessions as a full treatment plan.

Also consider factoring in the cost of maintenance treatments, which are recommended every few months to keep up results.

Question 6

What are the alternatives to Venus Freeze?

Accepted Answer

Many providers who offer Venus Freeze treatments also offer Venus Legacy treatments. Venus Legacy uses radiofrequency energy and electro-magnetic fields as well, but it combines them with suction to reach deeper through your tissue to the fat layer for body contouring via lipolysis. Those looking to reduce fat, including the appearance of cellulite, in addition to seeking tighter skin may be good candidates for Venus Legacy. Conversely, if you want to tighten skin without losing volume, as you would in the face, Venus Freeze may be a better treatment option.

Outside the Venus Concept family of devices, other nonsurgical skin-tightening energy treatments, like Thermage and Ultherapy, have lower Worth It Ratings and tend to cost more.

For those with very loose skin, a surgical procedure, such as a facelift, body lift, or arm lift may be the best choice for significant rejuvenation.
