Radio Frequency by Venus Versa™ is an advanced, non-invasive skin tightening and collagen-stimulating treatment available at Natural Aesthetics clinics in Cape Town, with branches in Green Point, Tyger Valley, and Somerset West.
This innovative treatment uses a combination of Multi-Polar Radio Frequency and Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (PEMF) to gently heat the deeper layers of the skin. The controlled thermal energy stimulates fibroblast activity, promoting new collagen and elastin synthesis while improving blood circulation and oxygenation.
Over a course of treatments, Venus Versa™ MP² helps to tighten and firm the skin, enhance facial contours, and deliver a naturally rejuvenated, lifted look, all without pain, downtime, or invasive procedures. The treatment is comfortable, safe for all skin tones, and often described as feeling like a warm facial massage.
At Natural Aesthetics, all our radio frequency treatments are performed using the FDA-approved Venus Versa™ device and include a professional skin assessment, precise energy calibration according to your skin’s needs, and post-treatment soothing with a SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective Masque and LED Light Therapy to enhance recovery and glow. All aftercare products are provided at no additional charge, and you’ll receive clear homecare instructions to maintain your results.
This treatment can also be combined with a chemical peel for enhanced results. You can also pair it with other treatments available from Venus Versa™, such as NanoFractional Skin Resurfacing and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Photofacial, for comprehensive skin rejuvenation.

Yes. Radio Frequency is safe and effective for most skin types and tones, as it uses heat energy rather than light. Your therapist will adjust the settings based on your skin sensitivity and treatment area to ensure safety and comfort. However, Radio Frequency is not recommended for patients with melasma or those prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), as heat can sometimes worsen pigmentation concerns.
For optimal results, we recommend one treatment every 1–2 weeks, with a total of 6 sessions. Maintenance sessions can then be done every few months to sustain your results.
You can apply makeup 24 hours after your treatment, once any redness or warmth has settled. Using a mineral-based or non-comedogenic product is recommended.
No. Avoid exercise, saunas, or any activity that causes heat or perspiration for at least 48 hours after treatment. Sweating can irritate the skin, interfere with healing, and may trigger a reaction.
No. Radio Frequency treatments are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding for safety reasons.
You’ll notice a visible improvement in skin tightness and texture after your first 2-3 sessions, with continued collagen stimulation and enhanced results over the following weeks.
Both Venus Versa™ Radio Frequency (RF) and Forma use heat to tighten and firm the skin, they are different technologies.
Forma uses bipolar radio frequency with real-time temperature control and is primarily designed for mild skin tightening and maintenance treatments.
Venus Versa™ Radio Frequency, on the other hand, uses multi-polar RF combined with pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF). This allows for deeper, more uniform heating, stronger collagen stimulation, and more significant lifting and contouring results, making it suitable for both face and body rejuvenation.
In short, Forma is gentler and great for upkeep, while Venus Versa™ RF provides a more powerful, medical-grade tightening and collagen induction treatment.
