What Areas Can Be Treated?

Accepted Answer

Question 4

Is the Body Contouring Treatment Safe?

Accepted Answer

Our treatment is completely safe, the RF induces collagen and elastin synthesis by causing controlled thermal damage in the dermis, which triggers the self-repair mechanism of skin tissue as well as enzyme-mediated lipolysis. The result is a marked improvement in skin tightness and elasticity, decreased subcutaneous fat mass, improved blood circulation, and stabilization of collagen strands, resulting in cellulite reduction and generally firmer and tighter skin.

Question 5

What is a Venus Freeze treatment like?

Accepted Answer

During a Venus Freeze treatment, you will feel a heat sensation as the machine moves over your skin and concentrates on the affected areas. You should have a warm feeling and some slight heat from the treated area for about a few hours after the procedure. Although very rare, you might have some minimal bruising from a treatment, but this should be very light, if any. There is a very small, but possible chance of a burn to the skin if the machine head stops in a skin area for too long or if the treatment area becomes too hot. Treatments require no patient downtime and you can return to work or other normal activities immediately.

Question 6

What Kind of Results Can I Expect from Venus Freeze?

Accepted Answer

Body contouring is not a substitute for working out as it should be done while maitaining a healthy diet and being active. Although it is not a get fit quick solution, it definitely helps you look like you live in the gym!
