“Venus Nano-Fractional treatment… Radio-frequency currents traumatising my dermis, shocking my body into healing mode… plumper, tighter skin in a few days! Venus Viva sends currents deep into your skin via tiny metal pins. It causes ‘micro-wounds’ which encourage healing. It takes about 15 minutes. It’s a great resurfacing option for scarring, pigmentation or open pores.” 

“Clamber onto the bed with your dimply thighs exposed and slathered in a conducting jelly, and a sucky device is massaged across the skin. It feels weird as it hoovers up the tissue, growing hotter by the second, causing the walls of the fat cells to rupture and split their contents, all to be illuminated by the lymphatic system. It’s not painful though. It’s over in half and hour; skin looks a tad pink, but that’s it. Just three weeks in, dimpling is softer and thighs are sleeker. Course over, putting on a bikini seems less scary.” 

 “For scar removal, Dr. Prager recommends the Venus Viva resurfacing treatment, which is able to target textural irregularities like scars, stretch marks and rosacea. Unlike traditional fractional technology, Venus Viva uses a combination of nanofractional radiofrequency (RF) and SmartScan technology to hone in on damaged areas, stimulating the woundhealing response and rebuilding collagen.” 

 “Immediately after the treatment, I was transformed like Cinderella. After the recommended course of eight weekly sessions, you’ll see greater improvements but you need monthly top up treatments if you don’t want to turn back into a pumpkin. After only one treatment, my smile lines had all but disappeared, my cellulite was pretty much invisible and I was even happy with the appearance of my stomach while bending forwards to – literally – contemplate my own navel.” 

 “It’s an amazing resurfacing treatment and can transform your skin over a course of treatments,’ says award-winning Dr Michael Prager, who offers the Venus Freeze Nano Fractional Radio Frequency treatment at his London clinic. ‘Sagging skin, wrinkles and pigmentation can all be improved,’ he adds. Using a handheld wand, your face will be blasted with radio-frequency energy, which heats up the tissues of the skin and stimulates collagen production deep down in the dermis.” 

 “One of the main areas male patients seek to improve is the jawline,’ says Dr. Michael Prager, who recommends the Venus Viva skin resurfacing treatment, which sculpts, lifts and tightens the jawline with no downtime.” 

 “I often finish it off with Venus Legacy radio frequency to smooth and tighten the skin. I have also been experimenting with the Venus machine on my mum and found it excellent for tightening her jawline and lifting cheeks.”
