Venus-M2

A Comprehensive System Combining Scrubber, Iontophoresis, and Radiofrequency

Written by: Dr. Jae-Byung Jeon, Clinic AO

In Korea, the "8282" culture—symbolizing speed and efficiency—has become a representative keyword not because of a unique Korean trait, but as a reflection of modern societal demands for multifaceted skills and achievements.

In a competitive world filled with high achievers, people strive to excel in work, relationships, self-development, and appearance, making even 24 hours a day feel insufficient. Unlike in the past, patients no longer equate satisfaction with longer treatment durations; they now demand quick and effective procedures. 

The medical industry must adapt to this trend to meet these expectations.

It is no longer feasible to sustain a local clinic by focusing on just one or two signature treatments. The current medical environment is not favorable for such an approach.

 Each clinic must adapt its offerings to suit the local demographics and the physician's concept. Therefore, rather than discussing signature treatments, I would like to focus on basic procedures.

● Device Overview and Key Features

Venus-M2 by Beautech (Beauty & Technology) is a comprehensive system combining a scrubber, iontophoresis, and radiofrequency technology, essential for aesthetic treatments. While the criteria for determining a device's unique features may vary, from my perspective, the standout advantage is its multifunctionality, integrating several essential features into a single device.

In aesthetic treatments, scrubbers for skin scaling and iontophoresis for delivering active substances like vitamins are fundamental and indispensable. The fact that these functionalities are combined into one device, rather than requiring separate equipment, is a cost-saving advantage. Moreover, it reduces the physical space required by half, as it eliminates the need for two separate devices.

In my clinic, where efficient use of limited space is crucial, minimizing the footprint of devices is essential. Unlike conventional devices, the Venus-M2 incorporates radiofrequency (RF) instead of ultrasound. Most devices on the market combine skin scrubbers, iontophoresis, and ultrasound technology. To perform RF treatments, a separate device is often needed. However, the Venus-M2 replaces ultrasound with bipolar RF, covering nearly all the needs for aesthetic treatments.

● Enhancing Treatment Effectiveness

Devices like scrubbers, iontophoresis, and RF are typically not operated directly by physicians but by staff. However, since these treatments are conducted under the clinic’s name, it is crucial to pay attention to the device’s characteristics and the technique used by the staff. Staff members often prefer user-friendly devices, while clinic owners, who are both responsible for treatment outcomes and clinic management, must consider both cost and effectiveness.

Even though physicians may not operate these devices themselves, understanding their features and ensuring staff proficiency in using them can significantly influence the outcomes and patient satisfaction.

● Why Venus-M2 Stands Out

One particularly convenient feature of the Venus-M2 is its iontophoresis functionality, which eliminates the need for a separate grounding rod. While bipolar systems are widely used for RF treatments without a grounding plate, this feature is rare for iontophoresis. With Venus-M2, the handpiece surface itself acts as the grounding point, allowing both positive and negative currents to flow simultaneously.

From the user’s perspective, convenience and effectiveness are critical. The absence of a grounding rod makes the iontophoresis process more straightforward, enhancing ease of use. Additionally, the protruding contact points on the handpiece provide mild stimulation during movement, contributing to higher patient satisfaction.

In conclusion, Venus-M2 combines efficiency, functionality, and patient comfort, making it an ideal choice for aesthetic clinics.
