How many Venus Treatments should be expected?

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
