I have a swollen face after Venus viva. How long will it take to go down?

Dear patient., I would urge you to call you doctor and discuss the swelling. It is generally normal and can resolve withing a day or day. I have had aggressive treatments result in swelling that lasted 3-4 days. Oral and IM steroid injections can help reduce persistent swelling.

Ablative RF with Venus Viva can cause delayed swelling. I would speak to your MD and begin Elevase Moisture Booster with ceramides to soothe your skin and SwellX to help reduce the swelling.Best, Dr. KaramanoukianRealself100 Surgeon

viva causes more swelling than most lasers/RF devices, it takes 3-5 days to go down depending on the procedure strength.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Yes you can have swelling after a Venus Viva treatment. This is because of the energy and heat from the treatment. Also, RARELY, some people will swell if they are having a reaction to the topical numbing cream applied before a treatment. An oral allergy pill will help, as will cool water and emollients applied to the skin."This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot
