• Moderate to severe visceral fat, cellulite, or loose skin in the treatment area

• History or evidence of squamous cell carcinoma or melanoma

Venus Versa™ photofacial treatments are powered by Intense Pulsed Light technology, which targets the pigment in your skin. They tend to work best for light to medium skin tones. The treatment may work on darker skin, but there is a higher risk of discoloration because darker skin has more pigment in it. It’s best to consult with your treatment provider to see if the treatment is right for you.

A single Venus Bliss™ treatment typically takes 25 minutes to complete.

Every patient is unique; however, a Venus Bliss™ treatment may be effective with just one treatment. Optimal results will be seen three to six months after completing your treatment plan.

Each Venus Bliss™ treatment lasts 25 minutes.

A Venus Bliss™ laser fat reduction treatment will start with a cooling phase for a few seconds where you’ll feel a slight chill from the applicators on your skin. You will then gradually feel the skin getting warmer. Once the temperature builds, the applicators will switch to cooling mode again for a brief period to maintain the therapeutic temperature in the fat layer and to keep the treatment as comfortable as possible. This process of heating and cooling will continue for the duration of your treatment.

The area may look a little flushed and feel tender, and some patients may experience a little bit of swelling, firmness, or bruising. All of these are normal and common following a Venus Bliss™ treatment. The tenderness may take up to two weeks to resolve but it should be mild enough to not interfere with your daily activities. Of course, if something doesn’t feel quite right, always consult with your treatment provider.
