How Venus Viva MD Works
The Venus Viva MD system uses NanoFractional RF to deliver energy deep into the skin through tiny pin electrodes. This controlled energy creates small “micro-wounds” in the skin’s surface. As the skin heals, collagen and elastin production increases, which helps smooth out imperfections and improve overall texture and tone.
The treatment also uses SmartScan™ technology, which allows for customisation based on skin type and treatment goals. The settings can be adjusted for deeper or more superficial treatments, making it ideal for everything from light texture corrections to deeper scars and wrinkles.
Each session lasts around 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. While you may experience some redness for a few hours up to a couple of days, most patients resume normal activities right after the procedure.
Conditions Treated with Venus Viva MD
One of the best things about Venus Viva MD in Reston VA is its versatility. Whether you want to refresh your skin for an upcoming event or reduce the appearance of years-old acne scars, this treatment can help.
1. Fine Lines and Wrinkles
The radiofrequency energy stimulates collagen production, helping to smooth out fine lines and soften deeper wrinkles. It’s a gentle yet effective way to reduce signs of ageing.
2. Acne Scarring
Acne scars can be stubborn, but Venus Viva MD breaks down scar tissue and encourages skin regeneration. Over time, you’ll see smoother, more even skin.
3. Enlarged Pores
By boosting collagen around the pore walls, this treatment helps reduce the size and visibility of large pores.
4. Skin Laxity
As skin loses elasticity with age, Venus Viva MD helps by firming and tightening areas prone to sagging, such as the cheeks, jawline, and neck.
5. Pigmentation and Redness
It’s also effective for treating melasma, sun damage, rosacea, and age spots, thanks to its controlled energy delivery that targets pigment and vascular irregularities.
What to Expect During and After the Procedure
At your consultation at WellMedica in Reston VA, Dr. Dima will evaluate your skin concerns and determine if Venus Viva MD is the right treatment for you. She’ll develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your skin type and goals.
During the Treatment:
- A numbing cream may be applied to reduce discomfort.
- The Venus Viva MD handpiece is moved across the skin in a grid pattern.
- You may feel warmth or a mild pricking sensation, but most patients tolerate it well.
After the Treatment:
- Mild redness, similar to a sunburn, is common for 1–2 days.
- You can return to most activities the same day.
- Make-up can typically be worn 24 hours after treatment.
- Multiple sessions (usually 3–4) spaced a month apart are often recommended for optimal results.
Venus Viva MD vs Traditional Lasers
Unlike CO2 or Erbium lasers that often require a week or more of downtime, Venus Viva MD offers impressive results with minimal interruption to your daily life. Here’s a quick comparison:
Feature | Traditional Lasers | Venus Viva MD |
Downtime | 7–10 days | 1–2 days |
Suitable for all skin types | No | Yes |
Discomfort level | Moderate to high | Mild to moderate |
Treatment areas | Face only (mostly) | Face, neck, chest, and more |
Risk of pigmentation changes | Higher | Lower |
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Venus Viva MD is suitable for most people looking to improve their skin’s appearance. Ideal candidates are:
- In good health
- Non-smokers
- Not pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have realistic expectations
- Struggling with any of the issues listed above
People with darker skin tones who might be at higher risk of post-treatment pigmentation with traditional lasers can benefit greatly from this technology because it offers a safer alternative.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
This depends on your skin type, concerns, and goals. Typically, patients undergo a series of 3–4 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart. However, many begin to notice improvement even after the first session. Follow-up treatments every six to twelve months can help maintain results.
Combining Venus Viva MD with Other Treatments
At WellMedica in Reston VA, Dr. Dima often combines Venus Viva MD with other procedures for even better outcomes. These may include:
- PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
- Botox or Dysport
- Dermal fillers
- HydraFacial
- Microneedling
By layering treatments, we can address multiple concerns and help you achieve a refreshed look from every angle.

WHAT IS VENUS VIVA™ MD TECHNOLOGY?
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.
IS IT RIGHT FOR ME?
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.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE REQUIRED?
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.
HOW MUCH DO VIVA™ TREATMENTS COST?
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.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT BEFORE AND AFTER TREATMENT?
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.
IS IT SAFE?
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.
