What is Venus Legacy?
1. What is Venus Legacy?
Venus Legacy™ is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes radiofrequency (RF) technology, combined with pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF), to tighten skin, reduce cellulite, and contour the body. It can be used on the face and body to rejuvenate the skin and improve its overall texture and tone.
2. What Techniques Are Used in Venus Legacy?
Venus Legacy uses a combination of:
- Multi-Polar Radio Frequency (RF): This technology produces a therapeutic heat matrix over the skin, stimulating collagen synthesis and facilitating natural skin healing and rejuvenation.
- Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields (PEMF): A proven anti-aging technology that promotes oxygen to the cells and improves blood flow, offering a fresher, more youthful appearance.
- VariPulse Technology™: An adjustable pulsed suction feature that gently pulls the skin upward, allowing for deeper energy penetration and enhanced treatment efficacy in cellulite reduction and body contouring.
3. Who is Recommended for Venus Legacy?
- Individuals looking for a non-invasive method to tighten loose skin on the face, neck, or body.
