Do you need eye protection for Venus Viva facial treatments?

Venus Viva nano fractional RF does not emit any laser or light and generally speaking no eye shield is required. I sometimes do use a laser eye shield to cover the eyebrows so that the heat generated by the handpiece does not cause a superficial burn of the hair. The shield is also handy in pulling the lower lids up over the globe so that I can go close to the bony ridge and treat the skin under the eyes. I hope this was helpful

Venus Viva is a radiofrequency device  that does not emit light. It is used frequently in combination with photofacial which does require eye protection and so, it is possible that the videos you have seen are Viva treatments that immediately follow IPL and the patient, for comfort, is still wearing their protection. In summary, Viva alone does not require protection but if you do a Tribella treatment or other combination with photofacial, you do.
Have a TriBella with the eye protection....it is absolutely worth it

Venus Viva employs tiny pins to deliver radio frequency energy to the skin.
Unlike with lasers treatments, Venus Viva treatments do not require eye goggles.

Venus Viva is radio frequency and there is no light or laser emitted so no eyewear is needed. The reason that some people put eyewear on a patient is for comfort, and frankly, for not having to deal with patients staring at them. There is no need to wear the eyewear and it won't do anything to your eyes. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot be held as true medical advice, but only opinion.

Thank you for your question. The Venus Viva laser delivers the pulse into the skin through metal pins on the hand piece. No laser is emitted outside the hand piece, so no eye protection is needed during treatment for both the practitioner or patient. I highly recommend you consult with a licensed and certified practitioner for Venus Viva laser regarding any further questions or concerns. Take care and good luck.
