Each Fat treatment lasts about 25 mins.

What does the treatment feel like?

A fat treatment with Venus Bliss MAX will start with a cooling phase for a few seconds where you’ll feel a slight chill from the applicators on your skin. You will then gradually feel the applicators getting warmer. Once the temperature builds, the applicators will switch to the cooling mode for a brief period to maintain the therapeutic temperature in the fat layer and keep the treatment as comfortable as possible, This heating and cooling process will continue for the duration of your treatment.

Will it be painful?

Fat treatments with Venus Bliss MAX received high comfort ratings during clinical studies. You may feel a bit of discomfort as the applicators get warmer - this is expected as part of the non-invasive process for targeting the underlying fat-but it should still be manageable.

How will I feel after my treatment?

The area may look a little flushed and feel tender, and some patients may experience a little bit of swelling, firmness, or bruising. All of these are normal and common following a fat treatment. The tenderness may take up to two weeks to resolve but it should be mild enough to not interfere with your daily activities. Of course, if something doesn’t feel quite right, always consult with your treatment provider.

Is there downtime after the treatment / How long is the recovery time?

There is no downtime and no physical restrictions that you need to worry about. You should be able to resume your regular daily activities immediately after completing a fat treatment.

Do I need to do anything after my treatment?

Your treatment provider may recommend massaging the treatment area for five to 10 minutes, one to two times a day. Otherwise, you don’t need to do anything after your fat treatment.
