Will Venus Freeze reduce fat in my face?

Question

I have done a couple venus freezes with good results but and concerned that it will reduce the fat in my face (where the apples of my cheeks are, etc) and thin it out, since its used on other parts of the body for fat reduction. Is this a valid concern?

Frank P. Fechner, MD · Answer

One of the main goals of the Venus treatment is to reorganize and tighten aged collagen located underneath the skin’s surface. The magnetic pulses combined with multipolar radiofrequency technology of the Venus treatment will lead to thick and tight collagen bundles. Fibroblasts are stimulated to produce new collagen which leads to improved tightness and elasticity of the treated skin. The treatment setting for facial skin
tightening is different than the one for volume reduction and does not cause facial fat atrophy.

If the proper technique is used in the appropriate time periods, it will not cause facial fat atrophy.  Different levels of heat/temperature are needed for skin tightening versus fat loss.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello and thank you for your question. Venus Freeze is a safe and effective anti-aging treatment that can be used to target a wide variety of mild to moderate aging symptoms. As an anti-aging treatment, Venus Freeze focuses on increasing collagen and elastin production to tighten and tone skin. In addition to improving the contours of your face by tightening loose skin, Venus Freeze may also reduce fat when used to target specific, focalized areas of the face. 
Be sure to let your board-certified plastic surgeon know about your concerns during your next appointment to ensure you experience favorable results. Hope this helps!
