Treatment Overview
Venus Versa is a versatile multi-technology platform that offers non-invasive skin tightening, rejuvenation, and contouring through Multi-Polar Radio Frequency (RF) and Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (PEMF). These modalities work together to heat dermal layers, stimulate collagen, improve elasticity, and smooth fine lines. The device also has applicators for IPL (intense pulsed light) and fractional resurfacing, making it a comprehensive skin treatment system.
Ulthera Prime is a micro-focused ultrasound device that penetrates deep into the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) and dermis, lifting sagging tissues and stimulating collagen with high precision using real-time imaging.
In Korean dermatology, combining Venus Versa and Ulthera Prime delivers a multi-layered rejuvenation effect: Venus Versa refines surface texture and dermal tightness, while Ulthera Prime achieves deep structural lifting and contour improvement.
