Venus Legacy is a non-surgical body contouring treatment that reduces fat, smooths cellulite, tightens skin and reduces wrinkles to make the body look slimmer, sculpted, and more toned.
Powered by Multi-Polar Radio Frequency and Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields, the Venus Legacy device uses heat to naturally stimulate the growth of collagen and elastin fibres while shrinking the volume of fat cells.
The heat’s effectiveness is enhanced by VariPulse, an adjustable pulsed suction action that simultaneously pulls the skin upward allowing the heat to travel deeper below the skin’s surface to help target fat deposits and cellulite while also increasing blood circulation, stimulating lymphatic drainage and enhancing the lipolysis effect of the RF energy.
Why
A Venus Legacy treatment is ideal for anyone who has pockets of cellulite and/or excess body fat that they can’t get rid of with diet and exercise.
The treatment is also ideal for anyone who is starting to lose elasticity in their skin and is showing early signs of sagging and wrinkles.
Procedure
A Venus Legacy body contouring treatment begins with the application of up to four laser applicators on your targeted areas.
After the device is activated, you will feel the applicators slowly get warmer until your skin reaches the required temperature.
Your treatment provider may then enhance your treatment with the VariPulse feature. If so, you will then also feel a gentle suction on your skin, like a very low-power vacuum, as the applicator moves around your target area.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How long does a Venus Legacy treatment last? Each session lasts 15-30 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
How many Venus Legacy treatments will I need? Most patients receive 6-8 treatments per area. The treatments, which normally last 15-30 minutes each, are done once a week. The exact number will depend on your individual needs and the area being treated.
Is a Venus Legacy treatment painful? No. Venus Legacy treatments are not painful. They are comfortable as your treatment provider can easily adjust the level of heat and suction to suit your needs while still maintaining the treatment’s efficacy.
How will I look/feel immediately after the treatment? You will probably feel relaxed. The treatment is so comfortable that some patients fall asleep during it. The treatment area may look a little flushed and warm to the touch, but this will go away within 1-2 hours.
Is there any downtime? No. You can return to your daily schedule immediately.
How long will the results last? The treatments are cumulative. After your final treatment, your results will continue to improve for up to four months.
After that, your face and body will continue to age, so maintenance is recommended once a month or every 3-4 months.
