How many Venus Treatments should be expected?

Question

Is this a one time treatment or a series of multiple treatments? If it is a series, how far apart should the treatments be scheduled?

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

The most common reason for Venus Viva treatments is skin resurfacing. We use the nano fractional ablative RF to help smooth out wrinkles and skin texture. For most patients, 3-5 treatments are necessary. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianRealself100 Surgeon

For optimal results, most patients need 6–8 treatments. Usually, treatments happen four weeks apart. You can personalize your treatment plan to meet your needs and goals.

The Venus Viva protocol requires a series of treatments, and we recommend to start with a series of 3 treatments.  We typically treat patients 4-6 weeks apart.  We use Viva to treat dyschromia, textural irregularities of the skin, large pores, fine lines, rosacea, acne and acne scars.  Although the main therapeutic effect of  Viva remains in skin resurfacing,  it also has some anti-aging benefits with skin tightening and increase in collagen formation to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.  We normally combine Viva with another handpiece available on the same machine, the Diamond Polar, to achieve better anti-aging results.

The Venus Viva procedure requires a series of treatments in order to maximize your results; however, the number of sessions and exact time between each treatment will depend on the individual patient and the condition being treated. Typically we initially recommend 3-4 sessions, which are usually spaced every 4-6 weeks, although that can certainly change as your skin reacts to the restorative procedure.
If you are interested in the Venus Legacy, which is mainly for skin tightening, we generally recommend 6-8 sessions given at two week intervals. After this initial treatment protocol, we advise a maintenance program of 2-4 sessions per year to preserve your results. As in all cosmetic procedures, it is very important that you meet with your physician to evaluate the area and establish a personalized treatment plan – it is possible that you may need a few more or less sessions to achieve your desired results.

Typically a Venus Viva treatment is less invasive and can take up to 3 or 4 to see the results you desire. I recommend a face-to-face consultation with a board certified dermatologist to go over whether or not you need multiple treatments.Thank you for your picture!Kate Ross, MD
