How Much Does Venus Legacy Cost?
Why costs vary
Financing options
The average cost of Venus Legacy treatment is $2,050, according to 50 reviews from RealSelf members who have had the procedure.
However, prices can range from $900 to as much as $3,000, depending on the specifics of your procedure and provider.
Dr. Herbert H. Kollinger, a physician in Atlanta, explains that “purchasing each treatment individually will likely end up costing the patient more” than paying for them up-front, in a package. At his practice, “When sold as a package, six to eight Venus Legacy treatment sessions may cost between $1,500 and $3,000. When sold individually, treatments may cost between $250 and $500 each,” Dr. Killinger says.
This skin rejuvenation treatment combines radiofrequency energy, pulsed magnetic energy, and gentle suction to trigger collagen production, for subtle skin tightening and smoothing textural irregularities like cellulite.

Read on to find out why Venus Legacy treatment costs can vary, as well as whether or not real patients think their results were worth the money.
Are Venus Legacy treatments worth the money?
Venus Legacy treatment has a 67% Worth It Rating from the RealSelf community, so reviewers are mixed on whether their results were worth what they paid.
Those who were happy with their outcome loved their results, noticing that the smoothing and tightening effects continued to improve over time.
Among those who rated their results “Not Worth It,” some say they never saw any improvement, making it a “waste of time and money,” while others say they actually looked worse after their treatment series.
If you’re on the fence about whether this is the right option for you, seek out an experienced provider who offers a range of treatment options for your concern, whether it’s cellulite, wrinkles, or skin laxity.
What affects the cost of Venus Legacy treatment?
The price you’ll pay will depend on these factors.
1. The credentials, expertise, and reputation of your provider
Every state has its own laws regarding who can perform radiofrequency skin tightening treatments like Venus Legacy, but it’s best performed by a licensed medical professional, ideally a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who has training on and extensive experience with the device.
Even though this is a noninvasive treatment, it can lead to complications like burns or scarring if your provider doesn’t have ample experience selecting the right setting for your skin type and situation.
Research your provider carefully, paying close attention to their patient reviews, photo gallery, and credentials.
2. Their practice location and size
Those living in major metro areas like New York City or Los Angeles already know that higher costs of living affect the prices of cosmetic procedures. Providers have to raise their fees to offset expenses, like high rents.
However, you may be able to find competitive pricing on Venus Legacy treatments if you seek out a modest practice, outside the most expensive neighborhoods.
Just keep in mind that there are economies of scale; larger practices with multiple providers have better rates, just because they have more patients and share some of the costs.
3. How many Venus Legacy treatments you have
Most people need six to 10 weekly Venus Legacy treatment sessions to see their desired results, whether they’re seeking treatment for facial wrinkles or the appearance of cellulite.
During your consultation, your provider should recommend a treatment plan and provide a price quote per session, along with an estimated all-in cost for the series. Ask about discounts if you pay for some or all of the treatment series in advance.
After that initial treatment series, results usually last about 18 months. After that, you’ll need maintenance treatments four times a year, to keep up your results.
4. The size and number of treatment areas
This skin tightening procedure can firm skin and improve the appearance of wrinkles or cellulite on the face and body.
Expect to pay more to address large areas, like the thighs and buttocks, than you would for a smaller area of the face, like nasolabial folds and marionette lines.
5. Special offers and discounts
Keep an eye on your favorite providers’ social media feeds and marketing emails for seasonal specials on Venus Legacy treatments.
Also ask your provider if they offer package pricing, if you pay for a package up-front.
You’ll also likely encounter discounts on Venus Legacy treatments on coupon sites. Remember to thoroughly research the provider offering the deal before booking to ensure they’re credible and skilled in performing Venus Legacy treatments.
Can you finance Venus Legacy treatments?
While it’s most cost-effective to pay for aesthetic treatments in full and avoid high interest rates, it is possible to finance a Venus Legacy treatment package.
Most providers offer monthly payment plans, or you can consider lenders like CareCredit.
