Body Contouring FAQs
What Can You Expect From a Venus Legacy Treatment?
Venus Legacy is an innovative body contouring treatment. This state-of-the-art technology uses heat to reduce unwanted fat. It can also address sagging skin, reduce the appearance of your wrinkles, and smooth cellulite. Once you achieve the full effect of this technique, your skin will look tighter and more attractive. Your body will appear to be sculpted and contoured. Many people are thrilled by how slim and attractive they look after their treatments.
An Easy Method
There’s no need to feel nervous about using Venus Legacy to improve your body. This is a quick, non-invasive treatment that doesn’t require you to receive anesthesia or go through a lengthy recovery period. Most people feel very relaxed during their appointments. You won’t have any downtime after your treatment. Instead, you can immediately return to your normal schedule.
Why Do I Have Excess Fat and Other Imperfections?
It’s common to struggle with unwanted fat, cellulite, wrinkles, and other imperfections. There are a variety of reasons why people experience these issues.
Excess Fat
You’re probably familiar with the idea that eating too many calories and getting insufficient exercise can cause people to develop pockets of unwanted fat. Besides your diet and activity level, imbalanced hormone levels can cause your body to develop excess fat. Further, your genes can influence how much fat your body naturally stores.
Cellulite
Cellulite is dimpled, uneven skin that is commonly found on people’s buttocks and thighs. Although cellulite isn’t harmful, it may make you feel unhappy about how you look. Women are much more likely than men to develop this issue. In addition to gender, your genes, hormones, and diet can all increase your chances of experiencing this issue. Further, gaining weight or going through pregnancy may cause you to develop cellulite.
Wrinkles
Many people develop wrinkles and fine lines on their skin as they age. As you become older, your skin will weaken and become less elastic. These changes can make your face crease and wrinkle. Further, your genes play a large role in the appearance of your skin.
This means that if your parents developed wrinkles at an early age, you may struggle with this issue. Excess sun exposure can also harm the structure of your skin. In addition, smoking may increase your chances of experiencing wrinkles at an early age.
Sagging Skin
As people age, their levels of collagen and elastin decrease. Collagen and elastin are proteins that play an important role in the appearance of your skin. Collagen helps your skin stay firm and strong. Elastin keeps your skin flexible and elastic, as you might guess from its name.
As these proteins decrease, your skin becomes more likely to sag. Other lifestyle choices, such as your diet, alcohol consumption, and excess sun exposure can also increase your chances of experiencing sagging skin.
Improving Your Look
Excess fat, cellulite, and other imperfections can be very difficult to address on your own. Aging, genetics, hormones, and other uncontrollable factors can cause even fit, healthy people to struggle with these issues.
In particular, many people change their diets and take good care of their skin without seeing noticeable improvements in their appearance. Fortunately, Venus Legacy can reduce your unwanted fat and improve your skin in a safe, non-invasive manner.
How Does Venus Legacy Work?
This innovative technology improves your skin and reduces excess fat by applying heat under the surface of your skin.
Heating Your Skin
This treatment uses Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields and Multi-Polar Radio Frequency to heat your skin. The heat will stimulate your body to produce more collagen and elastin. It will also decrease your unwanted fat. Improving your levels of collagen and elastin will enhance the appearance of your skin.
Keeping You Comfortable
As your skin is being heated, a pulsed suction will pull your skin upward. This is called VariPulse. This suction will help the energy penetrate more effectively into your skin. It will also help you feel more comfortable during the treatment process.
What Issues Can This Treatment Improve?
People love Venus Legacy because it is so effective and efficient. Many cosmetic treatments can only target one issue at a time. In contrast, Venus Legacy can improve a variety of conditions at once.
An Efficient Treatment
Venus Legacy can reduce unwanted fat in your target area. It can also improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Further, this treatment can smooth your cellulite and tighten sagging skin. Addressing these issues will enhance your appearance and make you look more vibrant and youthful.
How Will I Prepare for My Treatment?
You will have an initial consultation before you receive this treatment. During this meeting, we will examine your skin. We will talk about your skin issues, unwanted fat, and any contouring treatments that you’ve had before. We’ll discuss your medical history, including any health conditions that you have. We’ll use this information to determine whether Venus Legacy is right for you.
Getting Ready
Preparing for your treatment session is easy. You don’t have to avoid any specific foods, medications, or cosmetic products during the weeks before your appointment. You also don’t have to change your routine or schedule. That said, if you are treating an area other than your neck or face, we suggest that you exercise before your appointment.
What Will My Treatment Be Like?
Venus Legacy treatments are extremely quick and gentle. Your treatment will take fifteen to thirty minutes. This time will vary based on the area of your body that we are treating. Since this treatment is so fast, some people schedule their appointments during their lunch breaks.
You should arrive at your appointment with clean skin that is free of creams, makeup, and other products. You should also take off any jewelry around your treatment area. During your treatment, we will monitor the amount of suction and heat that we apply to your body. We will adjust these levels depending on your unique needs. Most people are comfortable and relaxed during this process.
What Will My Recovery Be Like?
This is a non-invasive treatment that is very easy on your body. You will have no downtime after your treatment. You can return to your job, childcare responsibilities, and other tasks immediately. Many cosmetic treatments require you to follow complicated rules during your recovery period. For instance, you might have to avoid makeup and stay out of the sun.
Venus Legacy is different. You don’t have to follow any special rules or take extra precautions in the days and weeks after you receive this treatment. You can continue to live your life normally.
How Many Treatment Sessions Will I Need?
Your treatment schedule will be personalized to fit your unique needs. The condition of your skin, the areas that you would like to treat, and other factors will influence your treatment plan. That said, most people get six to eight treatments on each target area. We will perform your treatments once every week.
How Soon Will I See Results?
People see the best results when they receive multiple treatment sessions. Your results will continue to improve as you progress through your treatment plan. Once you complete your treatment sessions, you will notice further changes in your body for up to three to four months.
How Can I Maintain the Benefits of My Venus Legacy Treatments?
Since your body will continue to age after you complete your body contouring sessions, you will need to receive touch-up treatments to maintain your new look. People typically experience the best results when they have regular maintenance appointments.
In general, we advise patients to receive a touch-up treatment every three to four months. During your initial consultation, we can provide you with more information about how to maintain your new look. We can also recommend a special cellulite cream that may further enhance your results.
Can This Treatment Improve My Appearance Before a Big Event?
Many people want to look their best before they attend a wedding, family reunion, or other important life events. People may also want to rejuvenate their bodies before going on vacation at the beach. Since Venus Legacy can reduce your fat, decrease your cellulite, and improve your skin, it can make a significant difference in how you look. Enhancing your appearance may help you feel more attractive and confident during your big event.
Scheduling Your Treatments
Since Venus Legacy requires multiple treatments, you will need to begin your sessions before your special event. Further, you’ll need to give your body time to renew and refresh itself. Please tell us if you are trying to achieve the full benefits of your Venus Legacy treatments by a certain date. We can plan a schedule that will help you achieve your desired outcome within your specified timeline.
Is This Treatment Safe?
It’s normal to feel nervous when you decide to try a new body contouring treatment. But there’s no need to feel worried about Venus Legacy. This sophisticated treatment uses proven radiofrequency technology to gently heat your skin. This technique is safe and effective. Further, many people have successfully used Venus Legacy to tighten their skin and reduce their unwanted fat.
Who Is a Suitable Candidate for Venus Legacy?
Venus Legacy is a gentle treatment that is suitable for many people. This treatment is a perfect option for people who would like to improve wrinkles and sagging skin. Further, it’s a great choice for people who want to reduce their cellulite and body fat in a non-invasive manner. This technology is suitable for people with all types of skin.
Although this is a very safe treatment, it is not right for everyone. In particular, people who have silicone or metal implants in the target area may not be suitable candidates. This treatment may not be right for people who have varicose veins, skin-related autoimmune diseases, degenerative neurologic diseases, or cancer. Pregnant women and people with pacemakers also may not be suitable candidates for Venus Legacy.

Tips To Reduce Sun Exposure
/in BlogKeys? Check. Wallet? Check. Sunscreen? CHECK. Have fun in the sun… but not TOO much fun! Spending time outside is an amazing way to get your source of Vitamin D, reduce stress and increase physical activity; however, it’s vital to protect your skin from the harmful UV rays included with this fun in the sun.
UV rays are sneaky… They are an invisible kind of radiation that comes from the sun, tanning beds, and sunlamps. It’s important to protect your skin from UV rays all year round, not just when you’re in your bathing suit. Harmful UV rays can reach you on cloudy days, cold days, and also reflect off of surfaces like water, cement, sand and snow.
Too much exposure to UV rays can cause premature aging of the skin, resulting in visible signs including wrinkles, sagging, sallowness, leathery skin, hyperpigmentation, loss of skin tone, and more. Not only does this affect how your skin looks, it also can cause the most dangerous type of skin cancer called malignant melanoma.
It’s incredibly important to be mindful of the dangers of UV rays. Here’s a few ways you can protect yourself from sun damage:
Stay in the shade
The first tip to reduce sun exposure is to reduce it! Stay in the shade when possible. If there’s no shade available wherever you’re at for the day, you can consider using an umbrella, hat or other things to create shade from the sun.
Avoid the sun during peak hours
UV rays tend to be stronger during the middle of the day. When possible, try to reduce your sun exposure during the times of 10am – 4pm.
Wear protective clothing
When possible, try to wear long-sleeved shirts or pants to provide the most protection from UV rays. Of course, in the summer, this becomes tricky. Try to wear a t-shirt or cover up during the hotter days to protect your skin from the sun as much as you can.
They make floppy hats for good reasons! A wide-brim hat shades your face, ears, and your neck. Make sure to get a hat with a tightly woven fabric, to make sure no sunlight is getting through.
Don’t forget about your eyes! Sunglasses help protect your eyes from UV rays and help reduce the risk of cataracts. Even further, they protect the sensitive skin around your eyes from sun exposure.
Always wear a protective SPF
In addition to the tips above, you should ALWAYS wear SPF. Most importantly, make sure to get a high-quality sunscreen to best protect your skin.
Adriane Skin’s Clear Protect SPF 45 provides the highest possible level of protection while restoring youthfulness to the skin. Derived from Knotweed Extract, our botanically-based active is the first of its kind, preventing damage from infrared radiation, which is believed to be just as detrimental to skin health as UVA & UVB.
Adriane Skin’s Hydra Tint SPF 44 is a water-resistant, physical sunscreen that features a moisturizing base with a sheer, universal tint that is beneficial for most skin types. This product is light enough to wear alone or under makeup for everyday protection.
Adriane Skin’s Physical Sport 50+ is a specially formulated, fast-absorbing sunscreen that hydrates without leaving the skin feeling greasy or heavy. This innovative, chemical and physical sunscreen is antioxidant-rich to provide defense against the sun’s damaging UVA-aging and UVB-burning rays. This product is ideal for active and on-the-go lifestyles as well as children.
Adriane Skin’s Mineral Protect Powder+ Antioxidant Complex is your on-the-go SPF! This product can be applied after makeup, on the scalp, and other areas where a liquid SPF isn’t ideal. Stick this magic product in your purse and you’re ready for all-day protection!
Want the glow without the damage? Adriane Skin’s Sunless Glo is an innovative, streak-free, sunless tanning foam that provides buildable color to achieve a natural-looking, sun-safe tan that develops quickly. This tanning foam hydrates the skin through a specialized sugar extract that binds moisture back into the skin, resulting in a radiant glow.
Don’t forget to reapply! Your skin will thank you!
What Are the Benefits of a “Medium-Depth” Chemical Peel?
/in BlogIf you’re looking for an effective method for treating acne, eliminating acne scars, or otherwise improving the texture of your skin, look no further than a medium peel at Advanced Aesthetics Solutions in Overland Park, KS. There are many benefits to this particular peel depth. Here’s a brief summary of the benefits you can expect from a medium-depth chemical peel.
The Benefits of a Medium-Depth Peel
Even Skin Tone
If you’re concerned about a dully, ruddy complexion, you can benefit from a medium-depth chemical peel. The most common condition treated with a medium peel is hyperpigmentation. Hyperpigmentation is characterized by spots of excessive pigmentation (color). The most common examples of hyperpigmentation are sun spots, age spots, freckles, and redness.
Acne Treatment
Have you tried what feels like all the pharmaceuticals to treat your acne? Are you frustrated by the lack of products on the market that treat your condition effectively? A medium-depth chemical peel may be the ideal solution for you. Also known as a medium peel, this non-invasive cosmetic treatment uses acid to penetrate the superficial (upper) layers of your skin as well as the middle layers of your skin.
When your skin peels to this depth, your skin produces less sebum, the oil that is responsible for the vast majority of acne outbreaks. However, it’s important that you communicate during your initial consultation that you are looking to prevent acne outbreaks because that information is required for us to choose the right acids for you.
Acne Scar Reduction
Another incredible benefit of peeling several layers of your skin is that acne scar reduction can occur. How many sessions you will need to see your desired results depends on several factors, including how deep the acne scars are. However, with patience, you will eventually enjoy a smoother complexion than you could ever imagine.
Another factor that must be considered regarding the benefits of this treatment for acne scars is that it is most effective for the treatment of boxcar or rolling scars. These scars are typically small or shallow, not deep like ice pick scars or raised like keloid scars. If you’re not sure what type of scar you have, we can identify the type of scar you have during your initial consultation.
Improved Skin Texture
Another compelling benefit of a medium peel is that it can treat mild-to-moderate wrinkles and lines without the need for painful injections. Keep in mind, this treatment only works on certain types of lines and wrinkles, so it’s important that you come in for an initial consultation if your only cosmetic concern is poor skin texture.
Since medium peels are highly effective at stimulating collagen induction, they are naturally highly effective for the treatment of wrinkles caused by collagen loss. Over the course of several weeks, your skin will produce more collagen and elastin in response to the peel. Together, these proteins and fibers make up the structural support of your skin and are responsible for its volume and smoothness or lack thereof.
Versatility
There isn’t just a lot of versatility regarding the conditions you can treat with a chemical peel. We also have the opportunity to choose from a wide selection of acids in varying strengths so we can customize your treatment based, not just on the conditions you are trying to treat, but also the type of skin you have and the overall health of your skin.
For example, Jessner’s solution is most often used to provide medium peels. However, TCA (trichloroacetic acid) can be used to provide a medium peel for severe cases without the extensive recovery time required of deep peels. Other acids we offer include salicylic acid and glycolic acid.
Long-Lasting Results
Some people like light peels because they are gentle enough for highly sensitive skin. However, the results of light (superficial-depth) peels only last between two and five weeks. Other people like medium peels because the results of treatment last between three and nine months. As long as the cosmetic concerns you have are effectively treated by a medium peel, it is definitely the best option for people with busy lives or tight budgets.
Comfortable Treatment
Another benefit of a medium peel is that the treatment is completely comfortable. Some people who receive deep peels report that the acid burns their skin and actually hurts. Contrastingly, when you receive a medium peel, you can expect complete comfort throughout the entire treatment process. Keep in mind, because medium peels are fairly mild in nature, you will not need sedation or general anesthesia.
Put another way, you will be awake throughout your session, so if your skin starts to feel too warm, you can just let us know. We will apply a cool compress to your skin to maintain your comfort. We can also supply you with a hand-held fan so you can further cool your skin, but there is no need for a neutralizing solution to combat some of the acidity of phenol (which is used exclusively for deep peels).
Convenient Treatment
If you have a hectic schedule, no treatment is quite as versatile and convenient as a medium peel. The length of your treatment will vary based on several factors, including the size of the area or areas being treated and the conditions being treated. However, you can generally expect your session to last between 30 and 90 minutes.
Keep in mind that 90 minutes may sound like a long time to sit through a cosmetic treatment, however, this length of treatment is only required for the most extensive of cases. Furthermore, a medium peel is always more convenient than a deep peel. During a deep peel, you are given intravenous fluids and your heart rate is monitored throughout the entire treatment to ensure you do not have a severe cardiac response.
Easy Preparation
Preparing for a medium peel starts the same way as preparation for a light or deep peel. You must come in for an initial consultation to discuss your aesthetic goals and ensure that this is the appropriate treatment method for you to achieve your goals. During this consultation, we will also review the cosmetics and topical medications you currently use to ensure there are no potential contraindications.
For example, if you are using Accutane for severe acne, you must wait six months to receive your medium peel. However, if you use a retin-A or retinol-based topical medication, you only have to stop using those medications for 48 hours before your scheduled session. Finally, we will talk about your current skincare routine. You will need to avoid the use of exfoliants and facial scrubs in the seven days before your session, as well as waxing and bleaching.
Easy Recovery
Yet another incredible benefit of medium peels is how easy the recovery process is. Some people love deep peels because only one treatment is required to achieve the desired results. However, deep peels are so intense that you can only receive one in your lifetime, and the recovery process is neither smooth nor comfortable.
Furthermore, there are far fewer restrictions on your activities during your recovery period. To protect your skin during your recovery, moisturize your face as you usually would. If you have dry skin, moisturize twice daily. If you have normal or oily skin, moisturize once daily with a gentle, hypoallergenic moisturizer, such as Aquaphor or Vaseline.
Other Recovery Steps
As is required after a light peel or deep peel, it’s crucial that you let the skin peel naturally. If you pick at your peeling skin to “speed up” the process, you put yourself at risk of acne breakouts and infections. Even after you wash your hands, there is still the risk that there are harmful particles that can cause infections or acne breakouts, particularly since the middle layers of your skin being exposed through peeling are highly sensitive.
Few Treatments Required
Light peels don’t just require follow-up treatments every two to five weeks. They also often require several treatments. Depending on the severity of the conditions you are trying to treat with a medium peel, you may only need one session. In the case of fairly deep scars, you may need two to three sessions spaced several weeks apart, but the results of scar treatment are permanent.
Safety
Yet another incredible benefit of medium peels is how safe they are. Since deep peels result in such significant peeling, people who receive such a peel are at significant risk of infection. Since medium peels don’t peel your skin as deeply as deep peels, there is no such risk of infection. However, it’s still important to keep your skin clean after treatment.
Furthermore, there is a significant risk of severe sunburn after a deep peel. After deep peels, you should not go outside between the hours of 10 AM and 4 PM after the treatment for any reason. After a medium peel, while you should minimize your time outdoors during that same window, as long as you apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 55, your skin will be fine.
Lack of Side Effects
Another disadvantage of deep peels is that the side effects are severe. For example, you can expect extreme redness, itching, uncomfortable warmth, swelling, and crusting as your skin peels. With a medium peel, you may feel a little warmth during your recovery process, but you will not experience any pain or discomfort. The only “side effect” you can expect is the peeling of your skin.
Affordability
One of the most compelling advantages of a medium peel is its affordability. You can achieve in one deep peel what two or three medium peels may take to achieve, such as the treatment of fairly deep scars. However, deep peels cost roughly five times as much as medium peels. Furthermore, when anesthesia is administered before deep peels, you are unable to drive for 24 hours, so you will need to arrange for a ride to and from your session and may even have to take time off from work or arrange for childcare, which increases the expense.
Discover Which Depth Is Right for You Today
If you’re looking for a safe, effective, convenient, comfortable treatment for acne breakouts, you can benefit from medium peels. You can also enjoy other benefits of medium peels, such as acne scar removal, wrinkle treatment, and the improvement of skin tone and texture issues. Due to the increase in collagen that results after treatment, you can expect to enjoy smoother, tighter, brighter skin than you’ve had in years.
While there are many benefits of a medium-depth chemical peel, it’s not the ideal depth for every situation. To find out which depth is right for you, contact us today at Advanced Aesthetics Solutions in Overland Park, KS to book an appointment. We are also more than happy to answer any questions you may have about any of our services and discuss the benefits of each peel depth in greater detail.

Since Venus Legacy can reduce your fat, decrease your cellulite, and improve your skin, it can make a significant difference in how you look. Enhancing your appearance may help you feel more attractive and confident during your big event.
Scheduling Your Treatments
Since Venus Legacy requires multiple treatments, you will need to begin your sessions before your special event. Further, you’ll need to give your body time to renew and refresh itself. Please tell us if you are trying to achieve the full benefits of your Venus Legacy treatments by a certain date. We can plan a schedule that will help you achieve your desired outcome within your specified timeline.
