IPL for Skin Rejuvenation

Venus Versa™ Treatments

Venus Versa™ is a medical aesthetic device that can target a wide range of aesthetic concerns using an innovative combination of different clinical technologies. The system can deliver up to nine different treatments that address everything from anti-aging and body contouring, to hair removal and acne reduction. Your treatment provider may not offer all nine treatments, so it's always best to check with them beforehand about what their specific Venus Versa™ system is equipped with. Venus Concept's photofacial treatments are powered by Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology to safely and effectively fade common signs of premature aging, including sun spots, discoloration, and visible veins.
