At SM Aesthetic Lab, we are proud to offer Venus Viva™ RF, a cutting-edge advancement in radio frequency (RF) skin resurfacing. Unlike traditional resurfacing treatments, Venus Viva™ RF delivers remarkable skin rejuvenation with minimal discomfort, shorter downtime, and a faster recovery process. Designed for all skin types and tones, this advanced technology effectively enhances skin texture, reduces fine lines, and improves overall skin health.
How Does Venus Viva™ RF Work?
The Venus Viva™ RF treatment uses advanced Nano-Fractional Radio Frequency (RF) technology combined with micro-channelling to rejuvenate and repair the skin. Controlled heat is delivered into the skin’s surface, creating tiny, superficial wounds that trigger the body’s natural healing response. This process stimulates collagen and elastin production, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more even-toned skin.
Common Treatment Areas
Venus Viva™ RF is highly versatile and can target various areas of concern, including:
- Face
- Neck
- Décolletage
- Hands
- Stretch Marks
- Acne Scarring
- Stomach
Whether you’re addressing acne scars, fine lines, or uneven skin tone, this treatment delivers noticeable improvements across a wide range of areas.
The Treatment Process
Your Venus Viva™ RF journey begins with a consultation with one of our skilled dermal therapists or registered nurses to identify your skin concerns and goals.
- Preparation:
- A clinical double cleanse is performed to prepare the skin.
- A numbing cream may be applied for additional comfort, though many patients find it unnecessary.
- Procedure:
- The treatment involves a stamping motion across the skin, delivering controlled heat while you experience a warming sensation.
- Post-Treatment:
- Mild redness may occur for up to 48 hours.
- Micro-crusting can appear and last for up to 7 days as the skin heals.
- Most patients can resume normal activities within 24 hours.
Your practitioner will provide detailed post-care instructions tailored to your needs, ensuring a smooth recovery and optimal results.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
For the best results, a series of 3–6 treatments is recommended. The exact number will depend on your skin concerns, goals, and individual response to the treatment. To make your journey more accessible, we also offer customised packages designed to maximise your results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! Venus Viva™ RF is often preferred over traditional skin needling due to its faster treatment time and more efficient collagen stimulation. While both treatments create micro-injuries to boost skin renewal, Venus Viva™ RF uses controlled radio frequency energy to penetrate deeper into the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production more effectively. This means fewer sessions may be needed compared to skin needling, with a quicker recovery and enhanced results.
Venus Viva™ RF stands out from traditional skin resurfacing treatments due to its advanced Nano-Fractional Radio Frequency (RF) technology, which delivers controlled heat to the skin with minimal discomfort and downtime. Unlike laser resurfacing, which can be more aggressive and require longer recovery, Venus Viva™ RF is suitable for all skin types and customisable to target fine lines, acne scars, uneven texture, and stretch marks with a faster healing process.
Many clients notice smoother, firmer skin within a few weeks, with continued improvement over time as collagen production increases. The most significant results are typically seen after a series of 3–6 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, depending on your skin concerns and goals.
