Venus Versa™ Fractional RF Skin Resurfacing is an advanced, non-surgical radio frequency skin rejuvenation treatment available at Natural Aesthetics clinics across Cape Town, in Green Point, Tyger Valley, and Somerset West. It is designed to improve skin texture, reduce scarring, refine pores, and smooth fine lines by stimulating natural collagen and elastin production through controlled radio frequency technology.
Venus Versa™ uses advanced NanoFractional Radio Frequency (RF) technology to deliver tiny pins of radio frequency energy deep into the skin. This creates controlled micro-dermal wounds that trigger the body’s natural healing process, stimulating new collagen and elastin production while resurfacing and tightening the skin.
The treatment works to smooth texture, soften scars, refine enlarged pores, and restore a firmer, more even complexion. Because the energy is precisely delivered to targeted areas, surrounding tissue remains intact, ensuring faster healing and minimal downtime.
At Natural Aesthetics, each Venus Versa™ NanoFractional RF Skin Resurfacing treatment is performed by our medically trained aesthetic therapists under doctor supervision to ensure safety and consistent results.
Each treatment includes a SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective Masque to hydrate, calm, and soothe the skin while reducing redness. This is followed by Advanced Photobiomodulation (PBM) Therapy to support deep cellular repair, accelerate healing, and enhance treatment outcomes. Aftercare products are included in the cost of treatment, along with clear post-treatment instructions to support optimal recovery and long-term results.

Numbing and Treatment

For all our Fractional RF Skin Resurfacing treatments, a doctor-prescribed 30% Lidocaine numbing cream is applied for comfort, making the treatment virtually pain-free. Once the numbing cream has been removed and the skin has been cleansed, NanoFractional Radio Frequency (RF) treatment is administered using a hand-held applicator fitted with tiny pins. These pins are pressed into the skin, delivering radio frequency energy deep into the dermis and creating thousands of tiny, controlled micro-dermal wounds with each pulse.
This is followed by the application of HOCL, an anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-itch solution that helps reduce redness, downtime, and post-treatment sensitivity, while supporting healing and reducing the risk of infection and adverse reactions.
SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective Masque

Following each NanoFractional RF Skin Resurfacing treatment, we apply and gently massage a luxurious SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective Masque into the skin.
This calming, hydrating botanical masque contains dipeptides and hyaluronic acid and is designed to cool and comfort the skin upon application. It has been clinically tested and shown to reduce skin surface temperature by up to 2.8°C, decrease visible redness by up to 20%, and reduce discomfort and stinging by up to 47%.
Photobiomodulation (PBM) Therapy

Each NanoFractional RF Skin Resurfacing treatment concludes with a Photobiomodulation (PBM) session using our advanced, clinical-grade LED and Near-Infrared light technology.
PBM works by directing precise wavelengths of red, yellow, violet, or near-infrared light into the skin, activating the mitochondria, the powerhouses of your cells. This light energy triggers a cascade of biological responses that increase cellular energy production, improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and support the skin’s natural healing processes.
This final step is fully customised to your skin’s unique needs. It enhances overall treatment outcomes, reduces redness, supports cellular repair, and significantly minimises downtime.

Venus Versa™ NanoFractional Skin Resurfacing is suitable for most skin types and tones. However, patients with very dark skin or active skin conditions such as melasma may require assessment before treatment to ensure it is performed safely and achieves the best possible results.
Most patients achieve optimal results with a course of 3 to 4 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Maintenance sessions every few months help sustain long-term improvements in texture, tone, and firmness.
It’s best to avoid makeup for 24 to 48 hours after your treatment. Once redness has subsided and your skin feels comfortable, you can resume makeup use, ideally with a mineral or tinted SPF recommended by your therapist.
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. This treatment is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to the intensity of the technology and the skin’s increased sensitivity during these periods.
You’ll start noticing visible improvement in skin texture and tone within 1 to 2 weeks after your first treatment. Collagen production continues for several months, with the most significant results seen around the 3-month mark.
No. NanoFractional RF uses radio frequency energy rather than laser light to resurface the skin. This allows for controlled heat delivery deep within the skin while minimising surface damage, resulting in faster healing and less downtime compared to traditional laser resurfacing.
