through selectional dermal heating. The use of NanoFractional RF™ delivers energy through the epidermis, to the dermis, rebuilding collagen and fibroblast stimulation, all resulting in tissue remodelling. The Venus Viva is the only RF technology that offers clinicians complete versatility with customized treatment settings for multiple levels of ablation or coagulation. Viva™ also utilizes a unique energy delivery mechanism called SmartScan™ that consists of two distinct features:  RF energy is deployed via an array of small pins into the skin in a ‘scanner’ like manner creating up to 160 micro-wounds with every pulse. This results in significantly reduced patient discomfort compared to other technologies, with more consistent endpoints and reduced downtime


 SmartScan™ also consists of a pattern selection tool that allows the clinician to customize the treatment size and density for each pulse. This results in safer, more optimized treatments with better clinical outcomes.


What is to be expected of the treatment? Who is a candidate for this treatment? Typical treatment protocol consists of 2 to 3 treatments spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart. The Venus Viva treatment may be bundled in a complete program with tightening treatments, IPL treatments for advanced colour correction, EMS for strengthening the muscles for a facial elevation, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion for clearing acne lesions, neurotoxin and soft tissue fillers to enhance the aesthetic outcomes of the skin as well as many other complimentary

treatments. Immediately after the treatment the skin is red and warm which will resolve in a few hours. The treatment is well tolerated and there is little to no discomfort after the treatment. Depending on the level of ablation you and your patient have chosen the degree of redness and mild irritation will vary. We recommend camouflage makeup and the patient may return to work the same day. The 15 minute fraction procedure is performed comfortably and may involve using a topical anaesthetic cream and cryogen skin cooler if patient desires. Candidates for this treatment:  Safe for both men and women


 Safe on all skin types, regardless of age or colour


 Patients with acne scars, fine wrinkles, and surface irregularities of the skin


 Patients with pigment irregularities, such as sun damage and freckles


 Patients with loose skin  Patients who desire a smoother appearance and tightening of their skin


 Patients looking to improve the tone and texture of their skin.
