Skin tightening is an innovative and versatile treatment that addresses common issues like wrinkles, fine lines, skin laxity, and more. There are many different ways to tighten skin, ranging from intensive procedures to topical products.
One of the best ways, however, is with the Venus Legacy device. This is a gentle, non-invasive device that eliminates fat cells and firms up your skin with very little risk compared to surgery. Overall, it gives you a glowing, more youthful appearance and versatile results.
Although the treatment is gentle, it still requires some care and attention to achieve optimal results. Read on to learn more about the Venus Legacy and what to expect after skin tightening treatment.
What is Skin Tightening?
The Venus Legacy uses gentle radiofrequency technology to heat fat cells beneath the skin. This helps the body metabolize them and break them down. No damage is done to the skin and as the fat cells are flushed out, the skin becomes firmer and healthier as lines fill in naturally.
There are many key benefits to this treatment, especially when compared to some of the more dangerous and painful options out there:
- Treatments are quick – only about 30 minutes on average.
- Treatments are comfortable and not painful – at most, you’ll feel a warming sensation on your skin. Many even report this to be a relaxing and enjoyable experience!
- Optimal results are usually achieved in only a handful of sessions and can potentially last for up to several years!
- It’s safe and suitable for all skin tones and types.
- It’s comfortable and doesn’t cause harm or damage.
- Minimal downtime and recovery are needed.
Aftercare
Once done with your non-invasive skin tightening treatment, you won’t feel any pain but you will have to follow some essential aftercare steps. These steps will help you minimize side effects and ensure a safe recovery:
- Drink lots of water. Staying hydrated is always important but even more so after a treatment like skin tightening. This will keep your skin healthy, plump, and hydrated as it recovers from the treatment.
- Apply sunscreen. Too much sun exposure after a skin-tightening treatment can cause discomfort and irritation.
- Follow a proper skincare regime. Gentle cleansers are recommended to remove dirt and impurities without stripping your skin of its natural oils. High-quality moisturizers will keep skin soft, hydrated, and healthy. Avoid harsh ingredients and heavy exfoliants for a few days after each treatment.
Potential Side Effects
Unlike many of the harsh and painful treatments out there, the Venus Legacy and other non-invasive skin-tightening treatments come with little to no side effects. Most healthy adults will experience no discomfort whatsoever and won’t have to worry about anything going wrong.
That said, there are still a few mild side effects you should be aware of, just in case:
- Redness
- Warm sensations in the treatment area
- Mild swelling and tenderness
Any issues with the treatment are rare, but if you do experience any of these things, they usually resolve themselves within a few days. If you experience anything worse than mild redness, swelling, or warmth, get in touch with us right away and we’ll guide you!
Recovery
Unlike the recovery time of invasive procedures like face-lifts and tummy tucks, recovery and downtime are minimal to non-existent after treatments with the Venus Legacy. As long as you follow the aftercare recommendations, you can go back to your regular activities immediately.
You can go out to dinner with friends the same night, or even go back to work if you’ve popped over on your lunch break!
Skin Tightening Results
Skin tightening treatments with the Venus Legacy can be applied all over the body – including the face, neck, arms, thighs, buttocks, abdomen, and more! The results can vary a little from person to person, but most see many of the same incredible effects:
- Firmer, tighter skin
- Reduced wrinkles and fine lines
- Improved cellulite
- The skin gets a more youthful, glowing appearance
- The body looks more toned and defined
Depending on your specific issues, you may also see improvements in acne, dryness, discolouration, and more.
Most clients see results after their second or third treatment, though some report visible results after only the first! Either way, the full results will appear several weeks after your final treatment.
Most often, multiple treatments are needed to achieve optimal results. The number of treatments you need can be determined by your provider upon a deeper consultation and examination of your skin.
For most, results can last for several months and even up to a few years! This depends on various factors such as age, skin type, and lifestyle. There are a few things you can do to support your results and keep your skin in proper shape:
- Take good care of your skin with regular skincare and clean, quality products.
- Maintain a healthy, nutritious, and balanced diet, and always drink lots of water.
- Maintain at least a moderately active lifestyle. Even a small amount of exercise each day will keep you in good shape and maintain muscle mass and healthy skin.
- Keep up with maintenance treatments. Once your initial round of treatment is over, it’s still recommended that you come in every few months for a quick touch-up to keep your desired results!
