What is Venus Versa™ NanoFractional™ RF?

Venus Versa NanoFractional RF is a state-of-the-art, non-invasive treatment that rejuvenates the skin by using innovative Fractional RF Skin Resurfacing technology. At Natural Aesthetics, we offer this advanced treatment to target a variety of skin concerns, including acne scarring, uneven texture, enlarged pores, fine lines, and pigmentation. The Venus Versa system delivers controlled energy deep into the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production while resurfacing the outer layers. As one of Cape Town’s leading skincare and aesthetic medicine specialists, we provide results-driven solutions tailored to your skin’s unique needs. 

How Does Venus Versa NanoFractional RF Work?

The Venus Versa NanoFractional RF device uses radio frequency energy and a unique SmartScan™ technology to deliver precise micro-ablative zones into the skin. These controlled micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing response, encouraging skin regeneration and boosting collagen production. Unlike traditional lasers, the Nano Fractional Laser technology used in Venus Versa ensures minimal downtime and significantly lower risk of adverse reactions. It is safe for all skin types and tones, making it an effective solution for South African patients with varying pigmentation and texture concerns. The treatment is fast, comfortable, and customisable, with minimal discomfort during the session. 

Why Venus Versa NanoFractional RF Over Other Treatments?

When comparing Venus Versa NanoFractional RF to other popular treatments such as Dermapen 4™ Microneedling, Venus Versa™ IPL, and Chemical Peels, it becomes clear why many patients prefer this cutting-edge option. While Dermapen 4™ Microneedling is excellent for collagen induction, it does not offer the same resurfacing benefits of fractional RF technology. Venus Versa™ IPL focuses more on targeting pigmentation and vascular lesions but lacks the texture-smoothing and pore-reducing capabilities of NanoFractional Skin Resurfacing. 

Chemical Peels, while effective in exfoliation and improving tone, do not reach the same depth as Nano Fractional Laser treatments and may not be suitable for all skin types. Venus Versa NanoFractional RF offers a comprehensive approach, treating multiple skin concerns in a single session with little downtime and visible results in a shorter timeframe. 

FAQs

Most patients begin to see noticeable improvements after just one session. However, a series of 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is typically recommended for optimal results. 

Maintenance treatments every 6-12 months are ideal to preserve the results and keep your skin looking its best.

Avoid sun exposure and discontinue any retinol or exfoliating products 5-7 days before your treatment. Our team will guide you through the pre-treatment protocol during your consultation.

Sessions usually last between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.

Post-treatment, you may experience mild redness and a sensation similar to a sunburn for 24-48 hours. These effects are normal and temporary. Your skin will gradually feel smoother and look more radiant over the following weeks.

Make sure your skin is clean. Do not apply any lotions, creams, perfumes, powder, or makeup before your treatment session, and avoid tanning. Remove all jewelry around the area being treated. If you have excessive hair on the treatment area, shave it beforehand. It also helps to be prepared with information about your medical history—the aesthetician will likely ask about it.

Most importantly stop using any active products, such as retinol, at least 3 days prior to your treatments. 

Each session lasts 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. 

Depending on the treatment area, numbing cream may be used to allow for a comfortable procedure , however you may still feel the tiny pins on your skin followed by a little zap. Your face will then feel warm, like a sunburn, anywhere between 4 to 6 hours post treatment. Some sensitivity may even last longer. 

Venus Viva™ treatments may be slightly uncomfortable, but not painful. You’ll feel intense heat, similar to the feeling of sunburn, and your face will look red right after the treatment for anywhere between 4 to 6 hours. 

Your skin will be red and feel warm afterward, like a sunburn. You can ease this by fanning or exposing the area to cool air. Within the first 24 hours, only apply topicals that have been recommended or prescribed by the aesthetician. The warm feeling, sensitivity and redness should go away within 24 hours. 

Yes, but only for 24 hours post-treatment (or up to 5 days for more aggressive treatments), unlike lasers or other treatments where recovery or downtime lasts up to 10 days.

You should always apply sunscreen (at least SPF 30) to maintain your results and prevent sun damage. Avoid rigorous exercise and hot baths or massages on the treatment area for the first 2 days after your session. Make sure to keep your skin clean and protected from the sun. Avoid any sort of tanning. 

After your final treatment, your results will continue to improve. However, one touch-up session may be needed approximately every 6 months, depending on how your skin responds. 

If your skin feels hot, you can use a fan to cool it down. Avoid touching or scratching the treatment area. For the first 24 hours, only apply products that are expressly recommended by your treatment provider, as there are many topicals that could cause severe irritation. After 24 hours, you should apply sunscreen (at least SPF 30), preferably one without chemicals. Also avoid rigorous exercise and hot baths or massages on the treatment area for the first 2 days after your session. Make sure to keep your skin clean and protected from the sun. Avoid any sort of tanning. 

No. You should wait till 24 hours after your treatment to apply any makeup or lotion. Some topicals or skin care may be recommended by the aesthetician, and anything you apply should be done in-office or prescribed by them.
