Venus Bliss

Are you bothered by stubborn bulges of fat that have not responded to diet and exercise? Would you love a more sculpted body? You might have considered liposuction. It is probably the best known among the various aesthetic and cosmetic procedures that can address your problem. However, liposuction is a surgical procedure with associated risks and significant downtime. That's where Venus Bliss comes in.

Venus Bliss is a non invasive alternative to liposuction. It is a safe and effective office-based treatment for skin tightening, fat reduction, and body contouring. Continue reading to learn more about this advanced treatment, including how it works, what you can expect during treatment, and what kind of results you can get.

What is Venus Bliss?

Venus Bliss is a non invasive lipolysis (fat reduction) treatment that is used for body contouring. It is suitable for all skin types and can be offered to both male and female patients. Venus Bliss is a safe and comfortable solution to get rid of stubborn fat cells in problem areas such as the abdomen and flanks. It can help you achieve a narrower midsection and more shapely body - something which may have eluded you despite a healthy lifestyle with diet and exercise.

What does Venus Bliss™ do?

Venus Bliss is an innovative platform for non-surgical fat reduction. The system employs diode laser applicators as well as an MP 2 applicator. These two in-demand technologies work together to achieve fat reduction in the abdomen as well as skin tightening and cellulite reduction. The result is a circumferential reduction in belly fat as well as improvement in the skin's surface. The combined effect on skin and adipose tissue means you not only get fat treatments but also reduction in loose skin and improved skin tones and texture.

What effects does Venus Bliss have on adipose tissue (fat cells)?

The diode laser applicator measures and delivers precise amounts of heat. The heat destroys fat cells in the local area. This results in significant and noticeable fat reduction in the treated area. You get a narrower midsection and a more contoured appearance as a result. The disrupted fat cells are removed gradually by the body's natural lymphatic system.

It is worth noting that Venus Bliss is not a weight loss treatment. If you are overweight or obese (your body mass index BMI is over 30), it is a good idea to first achieve a healthy body weight before considering spot fat reduction treatments such as Venus Bliss.

What class of laser is Venus Bliss?

The Venus Bliss platform uses four diode laser applicators that target adipose tissue. As noted, the laser energy heats the underlying tissue, resulting in a destruction of fat cells and fat reduction in the target area.

Studies have shown that a diode laser can consistently reduce fat in the abdomen and flanks with an excellent safety profile in all skin types. Therefore, diode laser treatments are a safe and effective method of getting rid of unwanted fat in common problem areas like the belly and flanks (muffin top and love handles).

What are the benefits of Venus Bliss? Can it help with cellulite and fat reduction?

Yes, as mentioned above, Venus Bliss is a comprehensive body contouring treatment that destroys fat, resulting in fat reduction in focal areas.

Additionally, the system also utilizes multi polar radio frequency and pulsed energy, resulting in skin tightening and cellulite reduction. The applicators deliver laser energy which improves local blood circulation and promotes growth of collagen and elastin fibers. Collagen and elastin are proteins that give the skin its smooth, plump, youthful appearance.

Therefore, along with being a fat reduction treatment, Venus Bliss is also a dermal rejuvenation treatment that makes the skin's surface tighter and gives you smoother skin.

What areas can be treated?

Venus Bliss is FDA cleared to treat fat bulges in the abdomen and flanks. However, some providers do use the system "off-label" to treat bra fat, back fat, and outer thigh fat. Keep in mind that Venus Bliss is not a weight loss treatment. If your goal is to lose a significant amount of weight, you should work on a diet and exercise plan or ask your provider to recommend other treatments.

How many sessions will I need?

Some clients see a noticeable improvement in skin quality and reduction in the circumference of the waist with just one Venus Bliss treatment. However, most people need a treatment regimen of three sessions to get optimal results. The sessions are spaced 4-6 weeks apart to allow the body time to naturally absorb the dead fat.

What to expect during a Venus Bliss treatment?

Preparation

You will first have a mandatory consultation with a licensed Venus Bliss provider to ensure you are a good candidate for the treatment. Besides ensuring you are in a good BMI range, the provider will also make sure you have realistic expectations from the treatment and are committed to leading a healthy lifestyle. There is no special preparation needed before your appointment. You should arrive at the clinic with clean skin, free of any creams or lotions. It is a good idea to hydrate well in the days leading up to your Venus Bliss session.

Procedure

Your provider will clean the skin in the treatment area and apply the combined diode laser and multi polar radio frequency MP 2 applicator. You will initially feel a cooling sensation, followed by the applicators gradually feeling warmer. An advanced skin contact cooling mechanism in Venus Bliss helps to make the treatment more comfortable for you and also prevents soft tissue injuries. The process of alternating cooling and heating will continue throughout the treatment. The entire process takes less than 30 minutes per treatment area.

Pain

Most patients report that Venus Bliss is not painful. However, you may experience some mild discomfort when the applicators are warm.

Side Effects

You may have some tenderness, swelling, bruising, and firmness in the treated area after a Venus Bliss body contouring treatment. These side effects usually resolve on their own and do not interfere with normal activities. If you find that the discomfort is not tolerable, you should contact your provider as soon as possible.

Recovery

There is no downtime after Venus Bliss. You can return to all normal activities on the day of your treatment without restrictions. Your provider will recommend that you massage the treated area for 5-10 minutes a couple of times a day for 1-2 weeks after your session. Staying well hydrated after your treatment can help the body's lymphatic system remove the destroyed fat from the treatment area.

Is Venus Bliss permanent? What kind of results can I expect?

The fatty tissue is permanently destroyed by Venus Bliss and does not come back, resulting in fat reduction that is permanent. You can expect a more shapely silhouette with a loss of 0.5 to 2.5 inches from the midsection. However, eating an unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, and weight gain can once again cause the treated area to develop fat bulges, thereby partially reversing the results of your Venus Bliss treatment. You can improve the permanence of your results by maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

As noted before, the body needs time to purge the fat from the treated area. Therefore, you may not notice an immediate improvement in your midsection. However, you will have noticeable improvement 4 weeks after your Venus Bliss treatment session. The final results can usually be seen 3-6 months after the treatments. Remember, results can vary from person to person.

How is Venus Bliss different from CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is a body sculpting treatment that uses freezing temperatures to destroy adipose tissue without harming surrounding structures. Venus Bliss uses laser energy and heat to achieve the same purpose. Notably, Venus Bliss has additional benefits of skin tightening and cellulite reduction.

Is Venus Bliss right for me?

Venus Bliss treatments are suitable for most people. The system is safe for all skin types and skin tones, including darker skin tones. However, individuals with skin sensitivity disorders or impaired skin sensation may not be deemed appropriate candidates for these fat treatments. They are also not recommended in people with severe visceral fat.

Venus Bliss is not for people who are looking to reduce severe facial wrinkles or permanent hair reduction or hair removal. It is not a treatment for male pattern hair loss. There are other treatments available for these conditions. Your aesthetic provider can help you figure out what bothers you most about your appearance and recommend the appropriate cosmetic treatments.
