Venus Versa

Venus Versa uses IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), Radio Frequency, and Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields to help restructure and resurface the skin.

Venus Viva’s IPL combines blue and red light, delivered simultaneously. Blue light targets porphyrin which can create bacteria associated with acne. The red light helps control inflammation in the skin and improves the body’s healing response, clearing pigmentation and evening skin tone.

Radio Frequency and Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields help smooth and firm the skin.

Your technician will begin your treatment by thoroughly cleansing your skin. Next, IPL will be applied using a handheld device that emits pulses of light to the area that requires treatment. Radio Frequency and PEMP are also applied using separate devices. Depending on the treatment, further applications may be used.

Your treatment is gentle and pain-free, and takes approximately 45 minutes.

Venus Versa is very safe for those who are good candidates for treatment. Venus Concept technology has built-in safety features that ensure simultaneous cooling to keep you comfortable during treatment. 

If you experience any of these conditions, you may not be able to have Venus Versa treatments:

• Implants in the treatment area
• Photosensitivity
• Autoimmune disorders that can be triggered by light
• Excessively tanned skin

Unfortunately, dark skin tones should avoid IPL treatments, as they can have adverse effects on the skin tone.

Anyone who would like to improve their skin tone or texture, wants to better manage acne breakouts and repair scarring, or who would like to prevent or repair skin aging is a good candidate for Venus Versa.

Unfortunately, dark skin tones should avoid IPL treatments, as they can have adverse effects on the skin tone.

Before we complete a full Venus Versa treatment, we will complete a patch test to make sure you won’t experience any adverse effects.

Your results will be best if you avoid sun exposure on the treatment area for 4-6 weeks before your treatment. Be sure to use an SPF of 30-50 regularly.

Keep your skin as natural as possible by avoiding self-tanners and spray tans throughout your entire course of treatment. 

This treatment should not be performed over tattoos, including permanent makeup.

If you can, please arrive with clean skin, free of moisturizers and makeup.

You may feel a ‘sunburnt’ sensation for 24 hours following your treatment. To minimize discomfort, apply cool compresses to the area as necessary. Sleep on your back with your head elevated until the pain subsides.

Some areas of your skin may appear darker in the days following your treatment. Allow these areas to slough off naturally – don’t rub or exfoliate. 

It is extremely important that you protect the treated area from the sun for 4 weeks after your treatment. Use a high-quality SPF of at least 30 every single day. Wear a hat and sunglasses if you plan to be outdoors.

You will begin to see results from your Venus Versa treatment within a few days to a week of your session. Full results of your treatment will be seen after 3-4 weeks. However, to see optimal results, you may require 2-3 treatments, and touch-up treatments every 4-6 months.

Your aesthetician will advise you of your recommended treatment plan.

Optimal Venus Versa results typically last 4-6 months and may require touch-up treatments to maintain the look.

Venus Versa IPL is sometimes referred to as a laser treatment, however, the two have distinct differences.

Both use light to create changes in the physiology of the skin but, the technology used to deliver the light is quite different. Lasers produce a specific type of light that consists of only one wavelength or color. Laser light is also projected in only one direction, and in a single beam. But IPL uses a range of colors and wavelengths to produce a flash of light.

In general, IPL provides excellent results for candidates without the harsh effects sometimes brought about by stronger laser treatment.
