Radiofrequency and ultrasound have long been used in the world of aesthetics to treat skin issues from laxity to cellulite, however, with each new year it seems there is a new machine promising better results and less discomfort.
The machine that Dr. Kerr and our aestheticians are specifically excited about is the Venus Freeze Treatment. It's probably one of the more popular non-invasive firming and lifting treatments that we have seen in this office in a long time.
So how does it work? It's a hand-held device that uses radio-wave energy to heat the skin, which causes the tissue being treated to contract and firm, while magnets stimulate new collagen and elastin for long term benefits.
The best part is, this particular machine works on all body parts from the face, to the belly and thighs, to lift and firm saggy skin. It only takes about half an hour for each area. Benefits can't be seen immediately after the first treatment dues to temporary swelling of the skin, but when done in two to four week intervals, full results can be seen.
The treatment, which feels more like a hot stone massage than a cosmetic procedure, requires no healing or recovery time and after the first treatment, the skin looks pink and radiant.
While this treatment can be done to tighten and firm the skin of anyone from the age of 18 to 80, it's full effectiveness is best seen on patients in their early 30s to mid-40s since the skin at that age is better prone to tightening. One benefit to doing these [radiofrequency] treatments at an earlier age is that you’ll see more of a reward sooner.

Is it permanent?
Venus Freeze is not maintenance free, but the effects are long lasting. After your Venus Freeze treatment series you will require maintenance treatments to ensure that you keep the aging process at bay. While the minimum treatments needed to maintain your result are one treatment once every season (4 treatments a year), we find that many patients like to come back as often as once a month because they love the treatments and the results. Discuss with your treatment provider what the best treatment plan is for your skin.
Is it cold?
Contrary to the name, Venus Freeze is not cold at all. In fact, it can feel like a hot stone massage!
Is there any pain involved?
None! In fact, most patients nap or just simply relax during the treatment. The sensation is absolutely pleasant and warm. You can watch a few patient testimonials here.
How soon will I see results?
Many patients report improvement after one treatment, but typically most patients see more of a result in as little as three treatments.
Absolutely yes. We only use before and after photos of real patients with typical results. Many of our staff members have gone through or are currently doing Venus Freeze treamtents themselves. Feel free to call us with any questions or concerns.
Venus Freeze Mommy Makeover – Get your Pre-pregnancy body back!
Being a new Mom is one of the greatest things in the world, but for many women, getting their pre-pregnancy bodies back can be a challenge. The Venus Mommy Makeover utilizes a new non-invasive technology called Venus Freeze designed to re-contour the body, tighten loose skin and reduce the appearance of stretch marks. Because there is no pain or downtime, you can resume your normal daily routine and be on your way to fitting into those pre-baby jeans while respecting your new mommy’s budget.
In this clip fromThe Doctors, they perform a Venus Mommy Makeover treatment on Jennifer, a mother and former swimsuit model, who had been disheartened by the lack of results from diet and exercise. Jennifer said that after her pregnancy, her stomach just wouldn’t “go back to normal”. After only a couple treatments, the results are astonishing. Completely painless, Jennifer says that the Venus Freeze treatment “feels very nice.”

How does Venus Freeze work?
Venus Freeze employs a patented new technology which combines Multi-Polar Radio Frequency and Pulsed Magnetic Fields. The Multi-Polar RF delivers fast, pain free, homogeneous heating to multiple tissue depths resulting in superior outcomes for body shaping and skin tightening. Pulsed Magnetic Fields technology has been used in traditional medicine for decades and is scientifically proven with regard to its regenerative properties.
Is there pain with Venus Freeze?
No. The patented design of the Venus Freeze treatment applicators allow for fast, even delivery of the energy which most compare to a hot stone massage. There is no pain or discomfort whatsoever, and no downtime, which means you can get back to your normal day right after the treatment.
Am I an ideal candidate for Venus Freeze?
Venus Freeze can be an effective solution for many patients but as with any treatment, there are some considerations. Venus Freeze is not an alternative for those needing significant weight loss or surgery such as liposuction. It is designed for patients who have a Body Mass Index of less than 30 and have a commitment to living a healthy lifestyle.
What areas can I have treated with Venus Freeze?
Venus Freeze is designed to treat the entire body and face, however most new Moms prefer to focus on the abdomen and hips to reduce the size of the post baby pooch as well as the appearance of stretch marks.
What is the treatment frequency and how long does each take?
Each patient has different needs but on average, optimal results can be achieved after 6-8 treatments for the face and after 8-10 treatments for the body. Treatment frequency is once a week and last anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes for one area. Most new Moms enjoy having a little “Me Time” in order to relax and get pampered.
How safe is Venus Freeze?
Venus Freeze is safe for all skin types and because there is no downtime, you may resume your normal daily routine right after each treatment. Your physician or clinician will determine if you have any risk factors which will prevent you from being treated.
