Treatment Overview
Venus Legacy is a non-invasive skin tightening and body contouring treatment that uses multi-polar radiofrequency (RF) combined with pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) to stimulate collagen and elastin production, improve circulation, and enhance lymphatic drainage.
While not a HIFU device, Venus Legacy is often included in Korean dermatology anti-aging and contouring programs because it addresses skin laxity, wrinkles, cellulite, and stubborn fat. It is a comfortable, no-downtime treatment commonly used for both facial rejuvenation and body shaping.
Purpose & Benefits
- Skin Tightening: Stimulates collagen remodeling to firm and lift skin.
- Wrinkle Reduction: Softens fine lines and crepey skin.
- Facial Contouring: Improves jawline and reduces early jowls.
- Cellulite & Body Contouring: Breaks down fat deposits and smooths cellulite.
- Improved Circulation: Enhances oxygenation and lymphatic drainage for healthier skin.
- Comfortable & Relaxing: Often described as a warm massage with no downtime.
