Treatment Overview
Venus Legacy is a non-invasive skin tightening and body contouring treatment that uses Multi-Polar Radio Frequency (RF) and Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (PEMF) combined with VariPulse™ suction. This technology delivers heat into the dermis and subcutaneous tissue, stimulating collagen and elastin production, improving circulation, and reducing fat cell volume. It is comfortable, safe for all skin types, and requires no downtime.
Ulthera Prime is a micro-focused ultrasound procedure that targets the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) and dermis layers with real-time imaging, stimulating collagen production and tightening skin at deeper levels.
In Korean dermatology, combining Venus Legacy and Ulthera Prime provides a layered approach: Venus Legacy smooths skin texture, firms superficial tissues, and improves circulation, while Ulthera Prime delivers deep lifting and contour refinement.
Purpose & Benefits
- Skin Tightening: RF energy firms skin and reduces laxity.
- Collagen & Elastin Stimulation: Improves long-term elasticity and texture.
- Wrinkle Softening: Reduces fine lines, especially around cheeks and eyes.
- Fat & Cellulite Reduction: VariPulse™ helps break down fat cells and improve skin smoothness.
- Deep Lifting: Ulthera Prime targets SMAS for structural lift and jawline refinement.
- Non-Surgical: Both treatments are painless, with no downtime required.
- Synergy Effect: Venus Legacy enhances superficial tightening, Ulthera Prime provides deeper rejuvenation.
Ideal Candidates
