Get the results you want without surgery or downtime
What are body slimming treatments?
If you’re eating well and exercising, but still not seeing the results you want, you’re not alone. Even with a diet and workout plan, many people still struggle with lax skin and lack of shape. You don’t need to resort to costly or painful surgeries to get the body you want. There’s an easier way.
Get one step closer to the figure you’ve always dreamed of with non-surgical body slimming treatments. They use advanced technology to safely and comfortably deliver energy below the skin’s surface, where it works to tighten skin and reduce circumference*. The result is a slimmer figure with a more defined shape. Today’s treatments can target both smaller, hard-to-hit areas like the arms and jawline, and larger, more common problem areas like the abdomen and thighs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about your body slimming treatment.
BEFORE THE TREATMENT
What devices can do body slimming?
If you’re getting a body slimming treatment done, your treatment provider may be using a Venus Legacy™ or Venus Versa™ device.
Am I a good candidate for this treatment? Will this treatment work for me?
The best candidate is someone who wants to improve their figure without surgery. They may have cellulite and/or excess body fat that they can’t get rid of with diet and exercise alone. An ideal candidate is also someone who is starting to lose elasticity in their skin and is showing early signs of sagging.
For safety reasons, you may not be able to get this treatment if you have/are:
- Active inflammation and/or infection in the treatment area
- Current or history of cancer
- A degenerative neurologic disease or any other disease around the treatment area that’s stimulated by heat (e.g. herpes)
- An Internal defibrillator/pacemaker
- Metal implants (excluding dental) in the treatment area
- Uncontrolled thyroid gland disorder
- Varicose veins
- Pregnant or are undergoing an IVF procedure/li>
- Skin-related autoimmune diseases
- Silicone implants and/or injections in the area
I have darker skin – can I still get this treatment done?
Yes. Venus Concept’s body slimming treatments use technology that’s safe for all skin tones, even darker complexions.
Can I do it during my lunch break?
Absolutely. Exact treatment times may vary depending on the patient, but a single session typically takes no longer than 30 minutes.
How many sessions will I need to see results?
Most patients receive 6-8 treatments per area. The exact number will depend on each individual person and the area being treated.
How often/far apart should the treatments be?
Treatments are done once a week.
Do I need to do anything to prepare for the treatment?
Just make sure your skin is clean. Do not apply any lotions, creams or makeup before your treatment. Remove all jewelry around the area being treated.
DURING THE TREATMENT
How long does a treatment session last?
Each session lasts 15-30 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
What does the treatment feel like?
The applicator will slowly get warmer till your skin reaches the needed temperature and stays within that temperature range. But if you do feel it’s too hot, just let the operator know and they can easily lower the temperature a bit. If the technician is using the VariPulse™ feature (with Venus Legacy™), you will also feel a gentle suction on your skin, like a very low-power vacuum, as the applicator moves around the area. This can also be lowered if needed.
Will it be painful?
Venus Concept’s body slimming treatments are comfortable. The level of heat and suction can easily be adjusted to suit you.
AFTER THE TREATMENT
How will I feel after my treatment?
You’ll likely feel relaxed. The treatment is comfortable and some patients have even fallen asleep. The area may feel warm to the touch, but other than that, you’ll feel perfectly normal.
How long will the results last and are they permanent?
The treatments are cumulative. After your final treatment, your results will continue to improve for up to 3-4 months. After that, your face and body continue to age, so maintenance is recommended once a month or every 3-4 months, depending on the person.
Is there really no downtime?
Absolutely no downtime. The treatment area may look a little flushed and warm to the touch, but this will go away within 1-2 hours. You can return to your daily schedule immediately after your treatment.
Do I need to do anything after my treatment?
No, you do not need to do anything after your treatment.
Can I put on makeup or lotion right after my treatment?
Yes, you can apply makeup and/or lotion immediately after your treatment.
