Which Conditions Can Be Treated?

Venus Legacy has multiple applications for both the face and body. For the face, Venus Legacy is ideal for lines and wrinkles, new blood vessel growth, and skin tightening. For the body, Venus Legacy is used to decrease cellulite, reduce waist circumference, and increase skin tightening.

  • Wrinkle Reduction: Venus Legacy softens wrinkles and lines around the neck and décolleté and firms lax skin around the upper arm.
  • Body Contouring: The treatment firms and flattens the abdomen for a more defined waistline.
  • Cellulite Reduction: Venus Legacy effectively reduces bumps and dimpling around the buttocks and thighs, resulting in a smoother, slimmer silhouette.

Is Venus Legacy Right for Me?

You may be an ideal candidate for Venus Legacy in San Francisco at HVME if you have pockets of cellulite that you can’t get rid of with diet and exercise alone. It is also ideal for those who are starting to lose elasticity in their skin and are showing signs of sagging and wrinkles but would prefer a non-invasive solution. We offer free consultations with our aesthetic nurses, who can determine if this would be an effective therapy for you.

How Do I Prepare for the Treatment?

There is nothing you need to do. However, if you have any skin conditions in the area(s) to be treated, please let us know in advance.

What Happens During the Treatment?

We will cleanse your skin and then use the applicator to slowly warm the area until it reaches the required temperature and keep it within that heat range. Treatments take about 15 to 40 minutes, depending on the total area treated, and are well-tolerated. If you feel that the treatment is too hot, we can easily lower the temperature a bit.

The Vari-Pulse feature also applies a gentle suction which can also be adjusted for your comfort. A benefit of Venus Legacy is that it feels like a warm, pulsing hot rock massage, which will have you looking forward to your next treatment.

Is There Any Post-Treatment Downtime?

You may have some temporary redness in the area, which usually resolves within an hour. You will want to be active after the procedure as the triglycerides are being released so as not to have them reabsorb back into the fat cells. Any gentle exercise, such as walking, is fine.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

In general, a series of six Venus Legacy treatments is recommended for the face, spaced about a week apart. For body areas, we recommend six to ten treatments, also performed weekly.

When Will I See My Results, and How Long Do They Usually Last?

Most patients typically see results after their third treatment session. Many have noted their results sooner, however. With FDA approval, Venus Legacy has documented its results to last a minimum of 18 months. Your results will last even longer if you visit us for one treatment session per quarter after your original series.

What’s the Science?

Using our patented (MP)² technology, Venus Legacy™ combines multi-polar radiofrequency and pulsed electromagnetic fields, which produce a soothing and therapeutic heat matrix over the skin. The radiofrequency causes a thermal reaction in the tissues, which stimulates the body’s natural healing response.

This restorative response causes new collagen to form, along with the increased production of fibroblasts and new elastin fibers. Desired treatment outcomes are essentially achieved when the temperature of the skin is elevated. When this happens, the body releases stress hormones, which then activate the enzyme that’s responsible for breaking down and reducing the volume of fat in the body.

This gives the body a smoother, more contoured shape. What really sets Venus Legacy apart from other devices is the advanced VariPulse technology, an adjustable pulsed suction feature that gently pulls the skin upward. This allows the energy to penetrate even deeper into your skin, where it further stimulates healthy circulation and lymphatic drainage.

Can This Treatment Be Used as Part of a Combo Therapy?

We specialize in combining different treatment modalities and will create a treatment plan that is customized around your particular goals. Please schedule your complimentary consultation so we can discuss options that suit your needs and your budget.

Venus Legacy Frequently Asked Questions

Why would I use Venus Legacy over other cellulite reduction procedures?

Only Venus Legacy (and its predecessor Venus Freeze) uses a multi-polar system combined with radiofrequency, which gives it better depth, improved coverage, and unbeatable results.

Is there scientific evidence to support the magnet pulse component?

It is well documented that magnetic pulse has a positive effect on wound and bone healing, the creation of new small blood vessels (angiogenesis), and collagen production. These clinical effects have been evident in many clinical trials. Furthermore, this non-invasive therapy was approved by the FDA as a safe and effective technology for medical use. Venus Legacy uses this technology to dramatically improve your skin’s appearance via the inducement of angiogenesis and collagen production.

Which parts of the body can be treated by Venus Legacy?

With Venus Legacy, you can treat the face, neck, décolletage, arms, abdomen, flanks, buttocks, and thighs.

What should I wear to my appointment?

We recommend wearing washable clothes, as the gel we use could get on dry-cleaned clothes and possibly leave a stain. However, we protect your clothes carefully when performing the treatment.

Will this break down my filler?

There is no study to show any breakdown in fillers from the Venus Legacy, but we do tend to avoid any area where they’ve been used.
