Yes. Venus Legacy™ uses technology that is safe for all skin tones, even darker ones.

Most patients receive 6-8 treatments per area. The exact number will depend on each individual person and the area being treated. Our therapists will examine the area being treated and will recommend the appropriate sessions to address your target concerns.

It is highly recommended for patients to get treatments done once a week for effective, optimal results.

The applicator will slowly get warmer till your skin reaches the needed temperature and stays within that temperature range. But if you do feel it’s too hot, just let our therapists know and they can easily lower the temperature a bit. If the therapist is using the VariPulse™ feature, you will also feel a gentle suction on your skin, like a very low-power vacuum, as the applicator moves around the area. This can also be lowered if needed.

The treatments are cumulative. After your final treatment, your results will continue to improve for up to 3-4 months. After that, your face and body continue to age, so maintenance is recommended once a month or every 3-4 months, depending on the person.

Absolutely no downtime. The treatment area may look a little flushed and warm to the touch, but this will go away within 1-2 hours. You can return to your daily schedule immediately after your treatment.
