Venus Legacy Body Contouring
Venus Legacy are non-surgical body contouring devices that primarily use multi-polar radiofrequency (RF) energy and pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF).
The core idea is to deliver controlled heat to deeper layers of the skin, which triggers several beneficial processes:
- Fat Reduction: The heat can gently warm fat cells, causing them to shrink or, in some cases (with higher heat and specific technologies), be damaged and naturally expelled by the body over time. It's important to note that these are not fat-killing treatments like cryolipolysis (CoolSculpting) but rather focus on reducing fat cell volume.
- Skin Tightening: The heat stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin fibers. Collagen and elastin are essential proteins that provide skin with its firmness, elasticity, and youthful appearance. As we age, their production decreases, leading to lax skin. By boosting their regeneration, these treatments help to tighten loose or sagging skin.
- Cellulite Reduction: The combination of heat and sometimes vacuum technology can improve circulation, lymphatic drainage, and break down the fibrous bands that contribute to the dimpled appearance of cellulite, resulting in smoother skin.
- Circumferential Reduction: By addressing both fat and skin laxity, these treatments can lead to a reduction in circumference in treated areas.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Non-invasive: No surgery, incisions, or needles are involved.
- Minimal to No Downtime: Patients can typically return to their normal activities immediately after a session.You might experience some mild redness or swelling, which usually subsides within a few hours.
- Comfortable Treatment: Many patients describe the sensation as a warm, relaxing massage, similar to a hot stone massage. The devices often have cooling mechanisms to ensure comfort.
- Versatile: Can be used on various body areas, including:
- Abdomen and waist
- Thighs and buttocks
- Upper arms
- Double chin and neck
- Love handles
- Back and bra line area
- Pecs
- Safe for All Skin Tones: These technologies are generally safe and effective for all skin types and tones, with no known pigmentation side effects.
- Gradual, Natural-Looking Results: Results appear gradually over weeks and months as the body produces new collagen and processes treated fat cells. A series of treatments (typically 6-10 sessions) is usually recommended for optimal results, with maintenance sessions afterward.
