I had ultherapy before and experienced big time facial volume loss with it. Will never do it again. I'm interested in doing Venus viva and know that its fractional RF but can it also cause facial fat loss??

Answer: Venus Viva and facial volume loss Like you stated Venus Viva is RF, not ultrasound. Unfortunately it has come to light recently that ultrasound at deeper depths may contribute to volume loss - which can be a good thing for certain areas, but not for others. We've now had Venus Viva in the office for about 2 years after doing the FDA study for the company. I haven't seen or heard of any issues with volume loss. However, I wouldn't tell you to expect the Viva to correct any volume loss either and it's for tone, texture, and minor skin resurfacing only.
