1. What devices will my treatment provider be using?
Your treatment provider will be using the Venus Bliss™ device.
2. Am I a good candidate for this treatment? Will this treatment work for me?
Fat treatments are safe for patients of any skin tone with a Body Mass Index of 30 or less. However, for safety reasons, you may not be able to get this treatment if you have/are:

• Open lesions, wounds, or any sign of compromised wound healing
• Any unrepaired abdominal hernia
• Pregnant and/or breastfeeding
• A history of immunodeficiency disorders or using immunosuppressive medications
• A coagulation disorder or history of keloids
• Any neuropathic disorder, impaired skin sensation, or diabetic neuropathy
• Any skin sensitivity disorders or taking photosensitized medications
• An active tan or exposure to artificial tanning devices/excessive sunlight one week before or after your treatment
• Moderate to severe visceral fat, cellulite, or loose skin in the treatment area
• Currently using antiplatelets, anti-inflammatories, thrombolytics, anticoagulants, or heavy aspirin (more than 81 mg per day)
• History or evidence of squamous cell carcinoma or melanoma

1. How long does a treatment session last?
Each fat treatment lasts 25 minutes.
2. What does the treatment feel like?
A fat treatment with Venus Bliss™ 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 applicators 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.
3. Will it be painful?
A fat treatment with Venus Bliss™ shouldn't be painful. You may feel a bit of discomfort as the applicators get warmer-this is expected as part of the non-invasive process for targeting the underlying fat-but it should still be manageable.

1. How will I feel after my 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 fat 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.
2. Is there any downtime required?
There is no downtime and no physical restrictions that you need to worry about. You should be able to resume your regular daily activities immediately after completing a fat treatment.
3. Do I need to do anything after my treatment?
Your treatment provider may recommend massaging the treatment area for five to 10 minutes, one to two times a day. Otherwise you don't need to do anything after your fat treatment.
