What Is Venus Legacy, and How Does It Work?
Venus Legacy is an advanced, non-invasive treatment that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to comfortably heat the deeper layers of skin. This gentle, controlled thermal energy stimulates collagen production, tightens tissue, and can even target unwanted fat for smoother, more refined contours.
Think firm, contoured, and revitalized—without surgery or downtime. Let’s talk about how Venus Legacy can elevate your skin journey.Here’s how it works:
- Targeted RF Energy: Venus Legacy delivers radiofrequency heat to the dermal and subcutaneous layers of skin, triggering natural collagen remodeling and tissue tightening.
- No Peeling, No Pigment Changes: Because Venus Legacy is not a laser, there’s no skin peeling, pigment alteration, or prolonged healing. It’s all about internal skin renewal—where real, lasting transformation begins.
- Enhanced Fat Reduction: In larger treatment areas, a gentle suction feature helps deliver heat even deeper—supporting both firming and fat-reducing effects.
- No Downtime, No Disruption: You can return to your day immediately after treatment. You may experience a brief period of mild redness or swelling (typically under an hour), and if suction is used, minor bruising is possible in the treated area.
Versatile Venus Legacy is safe for all skin tones and can target various areas, including the face, neck, arms, abdomen, buttocks, legs, and thighs. It also delivers other benefits, such as:
- Skin tightening & Cellulite reduction
- Encouraging collagen and elastin production
- Improving skin texture and tone
- Body contouring and sculpting
Venus Legacy treatments typically take 30 to 60 minutes and require no downtime. Dr. Rostan recommends a series of monthly treatments to achieve optimal results. Most patients will notice improvements in the skin’s appearance in 10 to 14 days, with continued improvements over several months.
A Smart Addition to Your Skin Strategy
As skin changes with age, your care plan should evolve too. Venus Legacy goes beyond topical skincare by targeting deeper layers to firm, contour, and smooth from within. It’s an ideal complement to your daily regimen—supporting long-term skin health and visible results.

Am I a Candidate for Venus Legacy?
Most people considering Venus Legacy treatments are looking to improve their skin’s appearance by addressing stubborn cellulite and skin laxity that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise. These candidates want a non-invasive treatment that also enhances the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin.
Venus Legacy is considered safe for all skin tones and types. However, it’s important to review any medical conditions before beginning treatment. While not a strict requirement, Dr. Rostan may recommend a BMI of 30 or less for Venus Legacy treatments.
We also recommend that candidates be at least 18, in good overall health, and understand the risks and benefits. Those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have active skin conditions, or have certain medical conditions may not be candidates.
Preparing for Your Venus Legacy Appointment
Your provider will ensure you know how to prepare for your upcoming Botox appointment prior to scheduling, but here are general ways to get ready:
- Avoid aspirin and ibuprofen for one week prior to your appointment to minimize bruising
- Stay hydrated for the week before your appointment to keep your skin hydrated
- Don’t consume alcohol for 24 hours prior to your appointment as it can increase bleeding and bruising risk
- Use a gentle cleanser the morning before your appointment, and don’t wear makeup
What to Expect During Your Venus Legacy Treatment in Charlotte, NC
Treatment Comfort & Clothing
Venus Legacy uses a conductive gel to deliver radiofrequency energy effectively. This gel can be sticky and a bit messy, so we’ll provide you with appropriate garments—such as disposable shorts, pants, or a bra—to keep your clothing protected during the session.
If you prefer to wear your own undergarments during treatment, we recommend bringing a clean set to change into afterward, especially if we’re treating areas like the thighs or lower abdomen.
Progress Photos
To track your results accurately, we’ll take clinical photos in a private photo room before each treatment. These are valuable tools for both you and your provider. If you’d like a copy of your before-and-after photos, simply bring an unopened USB drive—we’re happy to share them with you.
What Happens During Venus Legacy Treatment?
Once you’re comfortably positioned in the treatment room, a generous layer of gel will be applied to the targeted area. While the gel may transfer onto your clothing, it is water-soluble and easily rinsed out.
Your provider will customize the device settings to suit your treatment goals and skin type. You’ll feel gentle pressure as the handpiece glides over your skin, delivering warm radiofrequency energy. Most patients describe the sensation as deeply warming and relaxing, not painful. In some cases, pulsed suction may also be used to enhance penetration and results, depending on the area being treated.
Additional gel may be applied as needed throughout the session to maintain consistent energy delivery and comfort. Depending on the size of the treatment area, Venus Legacy sessions typically take 30 to 60 minutes.
What to Expect After Your Venus Legacy Treatment
After your first Venus Legacy treatment, you may see immediate results, including healthier, cleaner, and rejuvenated skin. The treated area may look flushed right after your session, but this should fade within an hour. You can apply makeup or lotions immediately if you wish to cover it. Treatments are typically pain-free and require no downtime. You can resume most normal activities immediately after treatment.
There are no specific steps required after treatment, but Dr. Rostan recommends proper skin care, including at least SPF 30 daily. As follow-up treatments can help maintain smoother, healthier skin, Dr. Rostan may recommend establishing a schedule for your Venus Legacy treatments.
If you have questions about your Venus Legacy recovery or post-treatment care instructions, please call the office at (704) 333-9113. We are committed to providing every patient with a superior experience.
How Long Do Venus Legacy Results Last?
Results vary depending on your skin’s initial condition, your body’s response, and your aesthetic goals. Some patients will see initial results within 10 to 14 days, while others see results after their third treatment. Results will continue improving for three to four months after the final treatment as collagen levels increase, with full results taking six to eight sessions per area.
With proper skincare, sun protection, lifestyle choices, and annual maintenance, patients may experience results that last around 18 months or longer with follow-up treatments. As individual results vary, Dr. Rostan will work with you to establish a maintenance plan every three to four months to help sustain your results.
