VENUS VIVA™ MD

The Viva™ device uses patented nanofractional radiofrequency and SmartScan® technology to deliver energy to the dermis. This generates heat in a controlled manner to initiate skin change, rebuilding collagen and fibroblast stimulation, all resulting in tissue remodeling. This achieves results with minimal discomfort and very little to no downtime.

The state-of-the-art patented tip allows for a depth of penetration up to 500 microns and provides varying energy densities, enabling simultaneous ablation of the epidermis and coagulation of the dermis areas, resulting in skin resurfacing with minimal discomfort.

Venus Viva™ MD is a noninvasive treatment that is suitable for all skin types.

What are the treatment benefits?

• Tightens lax skin.
• Diminishes visible pores.
• Evens out skin tone and texture.
• Controls pigmented lesions.
• Diminishes appearance of rosacea.
• Reduces fine lines and deep wrinkles.
• Decreases visible signs of acne scarring.
• Corrects necklace lines on neck and chest for younger-looking skin.
• Elevates and resurfaces the delicate skin around the eyes.
• Provides long-term collagen stimulation and regeneration for lasting results with minimal maintenance.

The treatments are most effective when done as a series. 6 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart are recommended. Once the treatment course is completed, results continue to develop and improve over 6 - 9 months. This is because it takes the collagen and elastin cells that long to regenerate. The Viva™ treatments can also be combined with other procedures on the same day, such as Venus Freeze™, dermal fillers, Botox®, and vibradermabrasion. The end result is firmer, more even-toned, radiant skin with little to no downtime.

The cost starts at $750. There are a variety of factors that determine the overall price. To ensure that your Venus Viva™ procedure is affordable, we accept various payment methods, including special financing plans.

Patients that are undergoing unique treatment with the Venus Viva™ MD should:

• Wear sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 and avoid excessive sun exposure.
• Discontinue the use of Accutane for 6 months prior to the procedure.
• Discontinue the use of products such as Retin A, hydroquinone, higher strength glycolic acids, and any acne products such as those containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, for 3 days prior to the procedure.
• If you tend to develop cold sores, discuss with Dr. Dima so that we can treat you prophylactically to prevent an outbreak.
• A topical numbing cream will be applied and left on the skin for 30 minutes prior to treatment.

Treatment takes an average of 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated. You can expect mild-to-moderate redness and minimal swelling of the treated areas. The redness should stop after a few hours, and the swelling should go down within 12 - 24 hours. Very small pinpoint dots that are left by the electrode pins are easily covered with makeup. These will naturally exfoliate in a few days but are barely noticeable.

Unlike most other skin resurfacing treatments that are not safe for darker skin tones, Venus Viva™ MD is safe for all ethnicities, even for darker complexions. Return to your daily skin care routine 24 hours after skin resurfacing treatments. There is no downtime required at all for wrinkle reduction treatments.

I am a 43 year old female that was looking to tighten my face and neck area. I was recommended by Dr. Dima a Venus Viva package to my face and neck to tighten my skin and within 2 sessions I have noticed an amazing difference. The doctor and staff are amazing, professional and very informative. The office is clean and has a relaxing atmosphere.
