Although both Venus Viva and Secret RF are advanced skin treatments, their methods of action differ slightly: Venus Viva tightens, reduces scars, and improves skin texture using NanoFractional Radio Frequency (RF).

I think you can do a chemical peel at 2 weeks after your radiofrequency treatment, and then do another RF treatment 1-2 weeks after your chemical peel
After any redness or irritation has decreased, three to five days following your Venus Viva treatment, you can normally begin using tretinoin cream. For tailored guidance depending on your skin's healing process, it's advisable to speak with your provider.
I personally have Venus Viva and a fractionated RF device (Fractora) in my office. I sincerely believe that Fractora is superior to Fraxel and if done by an expert at high energy, can improve your acne scarring in 1-2 treatments. I've done thousands of these treatments in my office and a...
