Venus Legacy
Q Is Venus Legacy as effective as SculpSure? (Photo)
A Venus Legacy is used for skin tightening and collagen formation which allows it to tighten skin and address cellulite at the same time. It is typically a series of 5 -8 sessions. A therapy that likely has more impact than Sculpsure for fat reduction and skin tightening is the Cutera TRUSCUPT ID. If reduction of fat is the primary concern, then Sculpsure or TRUSCULPT ID are better choices. If general tightening and cellulite or stretch marks, then Venus Legacy makes more sense.

Venus Legacy
Q How long should a Venus Legacy treatment take?
A In general, treatment over a specific area needs to get heat up to 43 C for 3 to 5 minutes based on numerous studies with radiofrequency devices. Time is more dependent on the size of the total area treated but a given site needs to hold temperature for at least 3 to 5 minutes for the desired effect on that site.
