Skin Tightening
Sagging skin can be hard to deal with, especially since it cannot be easily targeted with diet and exercise alone. Wherever you find it—over the cheekbones, around your chin, under your arms, or along your waistline—loose skin is a struggle. In the past, surgical procedures or injectables have been the go-to solution for skin tightening. Fortunately, that isn’t the case anymore.
Non-surgical radio frequency treatments rejuvenate the appearance of skin by safely and comfortably heating the tissue under the skin’s surface. This triggers the natural production of collagen and elastin, the key building blocks of healthy, youthful skin. The result is effortlessly tighter, smoother, and younger-looking skin.
Venus Versa™ skin tightening treatments work to tighten, plump, and firm up the appearance of skin. The treatment delivers a combination of Multi-Polar Radio Frequency and Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields—Venus Concept’s patented (MP)2 technology—to produce therapeutic heat under the skin’s surface, naturally increasing collagen and elastin fibers for visibly more youthful-looking skin.
FEATURES:
- Advanced radio frequency technology that safely delivers tighter, smoother skin
- Safe for all skin tones
- Comfortable treatments with no downtime
- Quick treatment sessions last no more than 30 minutes

During the Treatment
Each session lasts 15-30 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
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 the operator know and they can easily lower the temperature a bit.
Treatments are comfortable. Some say it feels like a relaxing hot stone massage. Some even fall asleep during the treatment.
