As we step into 2026, the quest for youthful, firm skin continues to evolve with innovative technologies that deliver results without surgery. At Beverly Hills Aesthetics, Dr. Sam Assassa offers cutting-edge treatments that help Los Angeles and Beverly Hills patients achieve their aesthetic goals through non-invasive solutions. One of the most revolutionary options in our advanced arsenal is Viora VST Skin Tightening – a treatment that’s transforming how we approach aging skin.

If you’re considering skin tightening treatments this year, understanding what makes Viora VST different can help you make an informed decision about your aesthetic journey. Here are seven essential things you need to know about this state-of-the-art procedure.

1. It Uses Advanced Radio Frequency Technology to Stimulate Collagen

The Viora VST Skin Tightening procedure harnesses the latest generation of radio frequency technology to address one of the primary causes of aging skin: weakened collagen fibers. As we age, the collagen in our skin – the protein responsible for firmness and elasticity – begins to break down. External factors like sun exposure, pollution, and lifestyle habits accelerate this process, leading to loose, sagging skin.

Radio frequency energy penetrates deep into the skin layers, generating controlled heat that stimulates the body’s natural collagen production. This heat causes existing collagen fibers to contract and tighten immediately, while triggering new collagen synthesis over the following weeks and months. The result is skin that becomes progressively firmer, tighter, and more resilient.

What makes the Viora VST system particularly effective is its precision. The technology delivers RF energy at specific depths and temperatures optimized for collagen remodeling, ensuring maximum results while maintaining patient comfort and safety. Dr. Assassa’s expertise in aesthetic treatments ensures that every Viora VST session is customized to your unique skin condition and goals.

2. The Treatment Is Truly Non-Invasive With Zero Downtime

One of the most appealing aspects of Viora VST Skin Tightening is that it’s completely non-invasive. Unlike surgical facelifts or other aggressive procedures, Viora VST requires no incisions, no anesthesia, and no recovery period. You can literally receive treatment during your lunch break and return to work immediately afterward.

During the procedure, you’ll feel a warming sensation as the RF energy is applied to your skin, but most patients find the experience comfortable and even relaxing. There’s no pain, no needles, and no discomfort that would prevent you from resuming your normal activities. This makes Viora VST an ideal choice for busy Los Angeles professionals who want to improve their appearance without disrupting their demanding schedules.

The absence of downtime is a game-changer for those who’ve been hesitant about aesthetic treatments due to recovery concerns. With Viora VST, you can schedule your appointment around your life rather than planning your life around recovery. This convenience factor, combined with impressive results, has made RF skin tightening one of the most sought-after treatments at Beverly Hills Aesthetics.

3. It Treats Multiple Areas Beyond Just the Face

While many patients initially consider Viora VST for facial rejuvenation, the treatment’s versatility extends far beyond the face. This comprehensive approach allows you to address aging concerns throughout your body with a single technology.

The face remains one of the most popular treatment areas, particularly for addressing fine lines on the forehead, marionette lines around the mouth, and sagging jowls that become more pronounced with age. The technology is gentle and precise enough to safely treat even the delicate skin around the eyes, where traditional treatments may be too aggressive.

The neck is another area where Viora VST excels. The thin, delicate skin on the neck often shows aging signs early, developing horizontal lines and loose texture that can betray your age even when your face looks youthful. RF technology tightens this area beautifully, creating a smooth, firm appearance that complements your facial rejuvenation.

Beyond the face and neck, Viora VST effectively treats the décolleté – that often-neglected area of the chest that shows sun damage and aging. The treatment also works wonderfully on areas like the elbows and knees, where skin tends to become crepey and loose over time. This full-body approach means you can achieve comprehensive anti-aging results with one treatment modality.

4. Results Appear Gradually and Continue Improving Over Time

Unlike treatments that offer immediate but temporary results, Viora VST works with your body’s natural healing processes to create lasting improvements. While you may notice some immediate skin tightening from the collagen contraction during treatment, the most dramatic results develop progressively over the weeks and months following your sessions.

This gradual improvement happens because new collagen takes time to form and mature. After treatment, your body begins producing fresh collagen fibers that continue strengthening and tightening your skin. Most patients notice visible improvements within a few weeks, with results continuing to enhance for up to six months after completing their treatment series.

This timeline offers the advantage of natural-looking results that don’t appear “done” overnight. Friends and colleagues will notice that you look refreshed and more youthful, but the gradual transformation makes it difficult to pinpoint exactly what changed. Many patients appreciate this subtle progression, as it allows them to maintain privacy about their aesthetic treatments.

The longevity of results is another significant benefit. While individual experiences vary based on factors like age, skin condition, and lifestyle, many patients enjoy their Viora VST results for a year or more. Maintenance treatments can help sustain your results indefinitely, making this an excellent long-term investment in your appearance.

5. Multiple Sessions Create Optimal Results

While a single Viora VST treatment provides benefits, optimal results typically require a series of sessions. Dr. Assassa will evaluate your skin during your consultation and recommend a personalized treatment plan based on your specific concerns and goals.

Most patients undergo between 3-6 treatments spaced several weeks apart to achieve their desired level of improvement. This series approach allows for progressive collagen stimulation and skin tightening, with each session building upon the results of the previous one. The cumulative effect creates more dramatic and longer-lasting improvements than a single treatment could achieve.

The exact number of sessions you’ll need depends on several factors:

  • Current Skin Condition: More severe laxity may require additional treatments to achieve optimal tightening
  • Age: Younger skin with better elasticity may respond more quickly, while mature skin benefits from comprehensive treatment series
  • Treatment Area: Larger areas or multiple treatment zones may require more sessions for complete results
  • Personal Goals: Your desired level of improvement influences the treatment plan Dr. Assassa creates

During your consultation at Beverly Hills Aesthetics, Dr. Assassa will examine your skin, discuss your aesthetic goals, and outline a treatment plan specifically tailored to help you achieve the results you envision. This personalized approach ensures you receive the optimal number of sessions for your unique situation.

6. It Complements Other Aesthetic Treatments Beautifully

One of Viora VST’s greatest strengths is how well it integrates with other aesthetic procedures offered at Beverly Hills Aesthetics. Dr. Assassa frequently combines RF skin tightening with complementary treatments to create comprehensive rejuvenation plans that address multiple aging concerns simultaneously.

For example, while Viora VST excels at tightening loose skin and improving texture, it doesn’t address volume loss – another significant component of facial aging. Combining Viora VST with dermal fillers like Juvederm or Restylane creates a synergistic effect: the fillers restore lost volume in areas like the cheeks and under-eye hollows, while the RF treatment tightens the skin and improves overall texture. This combination delivers more complete facial rejuvenation than either treatment alone.

Similarly, pairing Viora VST with Neurotox treatments creates beautiful results. While Neurotox relaxes muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles like frown lines and crow’s feet, Viora VST addresses skin quality and firmness. Together, these treatments tackle both muscle-related and skin-related aging signs for a more youthful overall appearance.

For patients concerned about skin tone and texture, combining Viora VST with treatments like chemical peels, IPL photofacials, or laser resurfacing creates dramatic improvements. The RF technology tightens skin while the complementary treatments address issues like sun damage, age spots, and uneven pigmentation.

Dr. Assassa’s expertise in aesthetic medicine allows him to design comprehensive treatment plans that leverage multiple technologies for optimal results. During your consultation, he’ll assess your concerns and recommend the ideal combination of treatments to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

7. Dr. Assassa’s Expertise Ensures Safe, Effective Results

Perhaps the most important thing to know about Viora VST treatment is that your results depend heavily on the skill and experience of your provider. At Beverly Hills Aesthetics, you benefit from Dr. Sam Assassa’s world-renowned expertise in non-surgical aesthetic procedures.

Dr. Assassa is not just a practitioner – he’s a pioneer and educator in the field of aesthetic medicine. As President of the American Association of Aesthetic Medicine and Surgery, he has spent decades advancing the field and training other physicians in cutting-edge techniques. His extensive experience performing over 50,000 aesthetic procedures means he brings unparalleled knowledge to every treatment.

This level of expertise matters tremendously when it comes to RF treatments like Viora VST. While the technology itself is advanced, achieving optimal results requires understanding skin anatomy, recognizing how different skin types respond to treatment, and knowing exactly how to apply the energy for maximum benefit. Dr. Assassa’s artistic eye and technical precision ensure that your Viora VST treatments deliver natural-looking results that enhance your beauty rather than creating an artificial appearance.

Safety is another critical consideration. RF technology is generally very safe when properly administered, but outcomes depend on proper settings, technique, and provider judgment. Dr. Assassa’s meticulous approach and commitment to patient safety mean you can undergo treatment with confidence, knowing you’re in the hands of one of the most respected aesthetic specialists in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles.

What to Expect During Your Viora VST Journey

Your Viora VST experience begins with a complimentary consultation at Beverly Hills Aesthetics. During this appointment, Dr. Assassa will examine your skin, discuss your concerns and goals, and determine whether Viora VST is the ideal treatment for your needs. He’ll explain exactly what you can expect, answer all your questions, and provide transparent information about costs and expected results.

If you decide to proceed with treatment, your actual Viora VST sessions are comfortable and convenient. The procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on the treatment area. You’ll relax while the RF device is applied to your skin, delivering controlled energy that feels like a warm massage. Most patients find the experience pleasant and use the time to unwind from their busy schedules.

After treatment, you can immediately resume all normal activities with no restrictions. Some patients experience mild redness that fades within hours, but there’s no visible evidence that you’ve had a procedure. Over the following weeks, you’ll begin noticing improvements in your skin’s firmness and texture as the collagen remodeling process unfolds.
