TECHNOLOGY   Venus Viva features two applicators: the NanoFractional Radio Frequency (RF) applicator for procedures requiring ablation and resurfacing of the skin, and the DiamondPolar applicator for non-invasive wrinkle reduction*.   NANOFRACTIONAL RF APPLICATOR Designed to resurface the skin, which helps reduce the appearance of acne scars and other scars, striae, rosacea, dyschromia, deep wrinkles, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture and pigmentation for all skin types A published clinical study showed that four weeks after the last treatment, total surface area, length, and width of striae alba significantly decreased from the baseline (p < 0.001). Patient satisfaction scores of “Satisfied” and “Very Satisfied” for changes on texture, size, and overall improvement were 96.67%, 93.94%, and 96.97%, respectively.1 Another peer-reviewed clinical study showed that NanoFractional RF is effective in improving skin texture and pigmentation.2   PATENTED TIP TECHNOLOGY Tip is one of the largest spot sizes in the industry and delivers up to 700 pulses Energy is scanned and flows through the groups of needle-shaped pins, and penetrates deep into the tissue Energy is distributed through small footprint per pin (160 x 38 µm2) at variable energy densities in a single tip, reducing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)3 and leaving sufficient intact tissue in between, for faster wound healing, uniform post-treatment tissue appearance, and low downtime No return pads allow for more homogenous energy delivery, resulting in safer treatments and consistent clinical outcomes SMARTSCAN TECHNOLOGY Uses unique algorithm and pattern selection technology that enables operator to generate customized patterns for maximum flexibility and control during treatment Enables ablation and coagulation of the epidermis and dermis zone in a fractional manner, resulting in more effective skin resurfacing for mild to severe skin conditions. DIAMONDPOLAR APPLICATOR WITH (MP)2 TECHNOLOGY Uses proprietary (MP)2 technology, a combination of Multi-Polar Radio Frequency (RF) and Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields (PEMF), to treat moderate to severe wrinkles and rhytides Multi-Polar RF uses a complex algorithm to deliver homogeneous energy and volumetric heating to multiple tissue depths, allowing for quick and safe buildup of heat, and easy maintenance of therapeutic temperature throughout the treatment Effect of Multi-Polar RF is enhanced by PEMF, a non-thermal mechanism emitted through the applicator’s electrodes RF heats and directly stimulates fibroblasts, while PEMF induces fibroblast proliferation through release of the growth factor FGF-2 Through synergistic (MP)2, RF directly stimulates fibroblasts, while PEMF is known to induce fibroblast proliferation and stimulate new collagen production through release of the growth factor FGF-24 Unique electrode placement allows for treatment around the eyes, along the jowls, and other smaller areas Treatments with this applicator are comfortable with no downtime, and RF technology is proven safe for all skin types
