Post-acne texture
Superficial scarring
Nanofractional radiofrequency · Melbourne
Venus Viva uses NanoFractional RF technology to support skin resurfacing at a controlled depth, improving acne scarring, pore appearance, and uneven texture without physical needle penetration. Suitable for selected clients seeking a gentler entry point into RF resurfacing.
A consultation is required to assess suitability. Results vary between individuals.
About the treatment
Venus Viva is a NanoFractional RF resurfacing treatment that uses nano-sized electrode pins to create controlled thermal zones across the epidermis and upper dermis. Unlike RF microneedling, it does not physically puncture the skin with needles.
The treatment is designed to support surface texture renewal, pore refinement, acne scarring improvement, and gradual collagen stimulation at a more superficial depth. Venus Viva is positioned differently from Morpheus8: Venus Viva is surface-focused, while Morpheus8 is deeper RF microneedling.
Venus Viva delivers NanoFractional RF through surface electrode contact, making it a different treatment category from deeper RF microneedling.

Individual results vary. A consultation is required to assess suitability and treatment planning.
How it works
Step 01
Your practitioner assesses texture, acne scarring, sensitivity, barrier condition, treatment goals, and suitability before recommending a plan.
Step 02
The treatment area is cleansed and prepared. Topical numbing may be applied depending on comfort needs and treatment intensity.
Step 03
SmartScan technology delivers NanoFractional RF through nano-sized electrode pins to create controlled micro-thermal zones. A warm prickling sensation may be felt.
Step 04
A 3-5 day recovery profile may include redness, warmth, dryness, or light flaking. Collagen remodelling develops gradually and results vary between individuals.
How they differ
Venus Viva and Morpheus8 are both radiofrequency-based treatments, but they are selected for different concerns. In some cases, combined or staged approaches may be appropriate.
| Venus Viva | Morpheus8 | |
|---|---|---|
| Technology | NanoFractional RF | Fractional RF microneedling |
| Delivery | No physical needles | Insulated microneedles |
| Depth | Epidermis & upper dermis | Deeper dermal remodelling |
| Primary focus | Texture, pores, superficial resurfacing | Structural laxity and deeper scarring |
| Best suited to | Surface-focused renewal | Deeper remodelling goals |

FAQ
Venus Viva does not use physical microneedles. It uses nano-sized electrode pins to deliver NanoFractional RF energy at the skin surface and upper dermal levels.
Venus Viva is more surface-focused and is used for texture, pores, and superficial resurfacing. Morpheus8 uses insulated microneedles to reach deeper dermal levels for deeper scarring and structural laxity concerns.
Venus Viva may be considered in selected cases of mild chronic sensitivity or reactive surface texture, but suitability must be assessed. It is not appropriate during active flare-ups or when the skin barrier is acutely compromised.
Most clients describe warmth and a prickling sensation during treatment. Topical numbing may be applied when appropriate. Comfort varies between individuals and treatment intensity.
Recovery is commonly around 3-5 days and may include redness, warmth, dryness, light flaking, or temporary sensitivity. Your practitioner will provide aftercare guidance.
A course of treatments is usually recommended for acne scarring, pores, and texture concerns. The number of sessions depends on your skin, concern severity, and response.
Surface texture may begin to look smoother as the skin settles, while collagen remodelling develops gradually over several weeks. Results vary between individuals.
In some cases, Venus Viva may be combined with treatments such as Morpheus8, PicoSure Pro, chemical peels, facials, or regenerative support as part of a staged plan. Your practitioner will advise safe sequencing.
