Before Treatment
Am I a good candidate for this treatment? / Will this treatment work for me?
The ideal candidate for radio frequency skin resurfacing 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.
For a full list of exclusion criteria, consult with your treatment provider to see if this is right for you.
I have darker skin - can I still get this treatment done?
Yes. Venus Concept’s skin resurfacing treatments use technology that’s safe for all skin tones, even darker ones.
How many sessions before I see results?
Most patients receive 3-4 treatments per area. The exact number will depend on each individual person and the area being treated.
How often or apart should treatments be?
Treatments are done 4-6 weeks apart.
What do I need to prepare for the treatment?
Make sure your skin is clean. Do not apply any lotions, creams, perfumes, powder, or makeup before your treatment session, and avoid tanning. Remove all jewelry around the area being treated. If you have excessive hair on the treatment area, shave it beforehand. It also helps to be prepared with information about your medical history—the technician will likely ask about it.
During Treatment
How long does the treatment session last?
Each session lasts 15-45 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
What does the treatment feel like?
You will feel tiny pins on your skin followed by a little zap. Your face will then feel warm, like a sunburn.
Will it be painful?
Venus Concept’s radio frequency 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, you may get a topical numbing cream to reduce any discomfort.
After Treatment
How will I feel after the treatment?
Your skin will be red and feel warm afterward, like a sunburn. Follow the post care instructions given to you by your treatment provider.
How long will result last? Are they permanent?
Yes, but only for 24 hours post-treatment or up to 5 days for more aggressive treatments. Follow the post care instructions given by your provider.
How long will the results last and are they permanent?
After your final treatment, your results will continue to improve. However, one touch- up session may be needed approximately every 6 months, depending on how your skin responds.
Do I need anything after the treatment?
Avoid touching or scratching the treatment area. For the first 24 hours, only apply products that are expressly recommended by your treatment provider, as there are many topicals that could cause severe irritation. After 24 hours, you should apply sunscreen (at least SPF 30), preferably one without chemicals. Also 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.
