Skin Resurfacing in Charlotte
Welcome
Venus Viva
Venus Viva™ is a non-surgical, radio frequency microneedling solution for skin resurfacing that corrects signs of skin damage.
Venus Viva™ improves the appearance of:
-Acne scars and other scars
-Stretch marks
-Rosacea
-Enlarged pores
-Deep wrinkles
-Uneven skin texture and pigmentation
Is Skin Resurfacing Right For You?
Venus Viva™ skin resurfacing treatments work with tiny pins that safely deliver heat (via NanoFractional Radio Frequency) through the skin’s surface. This creates tiny micro-dermal wounds, which the body naturally heals on its own. This process repairs signs of skin damage visible on the surface of the skin. Since the wounds are so small, the treatment is much more comfortable than traditional CO2 lasers, while still producing incredibly visible results.
Am I a candidate?
The ideal skin resurfacing candidate is anyone who shows signs of skin damage, including deep wrinkles, scars, visible pores, stretch marks, and/or anything else that affects the skin’s texture that wants to experience the power benefits of microneedling therapy with Fractional and Radio Frequency Technology. Venus Viva Skin Resurfacing is safe for all skin types and tones.
How Long Does the Treatment Take?
At Valencia Voci, a typical Skin Resurfacing session with Venus Viva takes approximately 15-30 minutes depending on the area being treated. With numbing time included, patients can expect their appointment to be 40 -60 minutes depending on the area being treated.
What Results May Be Expected? How Many Treatments are Needed to See Results?
Patients will see improved appearance of deep wrinkles, acne scars and other scars, stretch marks, rosacea and overall more even skin tone, texture and pigmentation. For optimal results, most patients receive 3-4 treatments per area every 4-6 weeks. The exact number will depend on each individual person and the area being treated. You’ll also notice much better results than with superficial treatments like chemical peels and microdermabrasion.
Is There Any Downtime or Pain?
Valencia Voci’s Skin Resurfacing treatments may be slightly uncomfortable, but not painful. You’ll feel intense heat, similar to the feeling of sunburn, and your face will look red right after the treatment. For more aggressive treatments, we give patients topical numbing cream to reduce any discomfort. The downtime for skin resurfacing is only approximately 24 hours post-treatment (or up to 5 days for more aggressive treatments), unlike lasers or other treatments where recovery or downtime lasts up to 10 days. Your skin will be red and sensitive for the first 24 hours.. After 24 hours, you may put on makeup and resume your regular skin care routine. You should always apply sunscreen (at least SPF 30) to maintain your results and prevent sun damage. Avoid rigorous exercise and hot baths or massages on the treatment area for the first 2 days after your session. Make sure to keep your skin clean and protected from the sun. Avoid any sort of tanning.

TECHNOLOGY
Venus Viva™ features two applicators: the NanoFractional Radio Frequency (RF) applicator for procedures requiring ablation and resurfacing of the skin, and the DiamondPolar™ applicator for non-invasive wrinkle reduction.
NANOFRACTIONAL RF™ APPLICATOR
•Nanofractional Radio Frequency Applicator
•Designed to resurface the skin, which helps reduce the appearance of acne scars and other scars, striae, rosacea, dyschromia, deep wrinkles, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture and pigmentation for all skin types
•A published clinical study showed that four weeks after the last treatment, total surface area, length, and width of striae alba significantly decreased from the baseline (p < 0.001). Patient satisfaction scores of “Satisfied” and “Very Satisfied” for changes on texture, size, and overall improvement were 96.67%, 93.94%, and 96.97%, respectively.1
•Another peer-reviewed clinical study showed that NanoFractional RF™ is effective in improving skin texture and pigmentation.2
PATENTED TIP TECHNOLOGY
•patented tip technology
•Tip is the largest spot size in the industry and delivers up to 700 pulses
•Energy is scanned and flows through the groups of needle-shaped pins, and penetrates deep into the tissue
•Energy is distributed through small footprint per pin (150 x 20 microns) at variable energy densities in a single tip, reducing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and leaving sufficient intact tissue in between, for faster wound healing, uniform post-treatment tissue appearance, and low downtime
•No return pads allow for more homogenous energy delivery, resulting in safer treatments and consistent clinical outcomes
SMARTSCAN™ TECHNOLOGY
•Venus Versa Smartscan Device
•Uses unique algorithm and pattern selection technology that enables operator to generate customized patterns for maximum flexibility and control during treatment
•Enables ablation and coagulation of the epidermis and dermis zone in a fractional manner, resulting in more effective skin resurfacing for mild to severe skin conditions
•Eliminates the need to use additional tips or change tips mid-treatment. This makes sessions simpler, faster, and more cost-effective, which leads to increased ROI
DIAMONDPOLAR™ APPLICATOR WITH (MP)2 TECHNOLOGY
Venus Versa MP2 Device
•Uses proprietary (MP)2 technology, a combination of Multi-Polar Radio Frequency (RF) and Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields (PEMF), to treat moderate to severe wrinkles and rhytides
•Multi-Polar RF uses a complex algorithm to deliver homogeneous energy and volumetric heating to multiple tissue depths, allowing for quick and safe buildup of heat, and easy maintenance of therapeutic temperature throughout the treatment
•Effect of Multi-Polar RF is enhanced by PEMF, a non-thermal mechanism emitted through the applicator’s electrodes
•RF heats and directly stimulates fibroblasts, while PEMF induces fibroblast proliferation through release of the growth factor FGF-2
•Through synergistic (MP)2, RF directly stimulates fibroblasts, while PEMF is known to induce fibroblast proliferation and stimulate new collagen production through release of the growth factor FGF-2
•Unique electrode placement allows for treatment around the eyes, along the jowls, and other smaller areas
Treatments with this applicator are comfortable with no downtime, and RF technology is proven safe for all skin types
