How the Procedure Works

Fractional Venus Viva treatments use nano-sized pin formations on the treatment head to send microscopic columns of RF energy through the skin to the dermis. The radiofrequency causes heat in the dermis, injuring existing collagen, and stimulating the body’s own healing response—resulting in the production of new collagen.

Recovery and Healing

Because the pin formation on the head is so small, the Venus Viva device causes greater tissue injury to the dermis rather than the epidermis. This allows for little to no downtime.
