Venus Viva in Nerja
Fractional radiofrequency to improve scars, pores, wrinkles and pigmentation with minimal downtime.
What is Venus Viva?
Venus Viva is a fractional radiofrequency technology with microneedles that works deep within the skin to stimulate regeneration. It generates controlled heat in the dermis, activating natural repair processes without significantly damaging the surface.
This allows for gradual improvements in skin texture, firmness and quality. It is an effective, safe and versatile treatment suitable for the face, neck and décolletage.

Benefits
Venus Viva helps visibly improve skin texture and soften the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It also helps tighten the skin and improve irregularities such as enlarged pores or residual acne marks. Its deep action stimulates skin regeneration, promoting more even, firmer skin with better overall quality. It is an effective option for those seeking an overall improvement without resorting to aggressive ablative techniques.

How Venus Viva works
Venus Viva is a non-surgical resurfacing treatment by Venus Concept. Its nano-fractional radiofrequency tip has tiny pins that deliver heat through the surface of the skin, creating micro-injuries that the body repairs naturally: the skin renews itself and produces new collagen. According to the brand, it achieves results similar to CO2 laser with much less discomfort and a shorter recovery, and better than superficial treatments such as chemical peels or microdermabrasion.
Safe for all skin tones, even the darkest, unlike many lasers
Quick sessions: 15 to 30 minutes of treatment depending on the area
Short recovery: around 24 hours (up to 5 days for the most intensive treatments)
Can be completed with the DiamondPolar tip (Venus Viva MP2) for wrinkles and firmness

Acne marks and scars
Scars, even those from stitches
Stretch marks
Rosacea (redness and bumps)
Enlarged pores
Deep wrinkles

Sessions and aftercare
The usual course is 3 or 4 sessions per area, 4 weeks apart. Results keep improving after the last session, and a touch-up roughly every 6 months may be advisable.
Before: come with clean skin, no cream, perfume or make-up, and without having sunbathed
Afterwards: the skin is red and warm, like after sunburn; for 24 hours put nothing on the skin, not even water, and avoid sweating
After 24 hours: make-up and your usual routine, with SPF 30 or higher sunscreen
For 2 days: no intense exercise, hot baths or massage on the area, and avoid tanning
Venus Viva treatments
Venus Viva allows us to treat a range of skin concerns by working deep within the skin to stimulate regeneration. We adapt the settings and treatment areas to each patient's needs.
01Rejuvenation and expression lines
This protocol helps soften the appearance of fine wrinkles and improve skin firmness. Thermal stimulation encourages collagen production, making the face look gradually smoother and firmer, with improved skin quality, while maintaining a natural-looking result.
02Improving texture and enlarged pores
Suitable for skin with uneven texture or visible pores. Venus Viva helps refine the skin's surface and improve its evenness. Over the course of treatment, the face looks smoother, more balanced and better cared for.
03Residual acne marks
This treatment helps improve the appearance of minor irregularities and superficial marks associated with acne. The skin gradually looks more even, with improved texture, as part of a plan tailored to the type of scarring and the condition of the skin.
04Firmness in the neck and décolletage
Venus Viva can also be used on areas such as the neck and décolletage, where the skin tends to become thinner and less firm. It helps improve texture and give the skin a smoother, more cared-for appearance.

How is the treatment performed?
A treatment head with microneedles delivers fractional radiofrequency to stimulate the skin at depth.

Initial assessment
We assess the skin, the type of irregularity and the area to be treated to tailor the protocol.

Procedure
First, an anaesthetic cream is applied for a few minutes, then controlled passes are made over the skin to generate precise heat in the dermis.

Recovery
Redness and a sensation similar to the warmth of sun-exposed skin may last for a few hours or days. Do not apply cream or water to the skin for 24 hours.

Results
Skin texture and firmness improve gradually, with changes noticeable from the first few sessions.
Renew your skin from its deeper layers
With Venus Viva, we improve skin texture, firmness and quality by stimulating regeneration in a controlled, gradual way.
