Venus Viva

The Venus VIVA is an advanced, non-surgical solution for skin resurfacing that works to improve the overall texture of the skin. It combines Nano-Fractional Radio Frequency (RF) technology, to deliver total skin rejuvenation.

The VIVA RF is a complete skin rejuvenation system that provides fast results with less pain and downtime than other current products on the market.

VIVA can be used anywhere on the body for rejuvenation including hands, arms and improves the appearance of stretch marks and mild scarring.

How does it work?

By piercing the skin with micro columns of RF energy deep into the layers of the skin, leaving surrounding tissues in-tact and rapidly stimulating the body’s natural healing responses. These dermal injuries can perforate skin tissue lifting depressions (scars and fine lines) from the bottom up, whilst the tissue heating causes tissues to contract, resulting in a softer, smoother and firmer looking skin.
