ボルニューマ(高周波)で引き締まった若々しい肌に|対応部位も解説

・You have started to notice wrinkles and sagging when looking in the mirror, making you feel your age.
・You want to restore your skin’s former firmness and radiance.
・Even so, you hesitate to undergo a painful treatment.

For those with these concerns, Volnewmer is recommended as a treatment that can improve sagging and wrinkles while restoring the skin’s firmness and radiance.

This article provides a detailed explanation of Volnewmer’s features, effects, and precautions.

Contents

What Is Volnewmer?

Volnewmer is an aesthetic treatment device that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy. By applying radiofrequency, it delivers heat to the dermis and fat layer (subcutaneous tissue) without damaging the skin’s epidermis, promoting improvement in sagging, looseness, fine lines, firmness, and radiance.

Treatments using radiofrequency have often been associated with pain. However, Volnewmer is a treatment in which pain has been greatly reduced through improvements to its cooling and vibration systems and tips. Its main features are as follows.

  • Lifting without damaging the epidermis
  • Promotes collagen production to improve skin firmness and radiance
  • Little pain and a short downtime

It is a suitable treatment for people concerned about sagging or fine lines, people who cannot take downtime, and people who want to improve their skin quality over time.

How Volnewmer Works

Volnewmer is an aesthetic treatment that uses radiofrequency to apply heat deep within the skin and promote collagen production. Its mechanism is as follows.

 1. Application of radiofrequency (RF) energy
  RF energy is delivered to the dermis and fat layer without damaging the epidermis. This may help restore firmness and elasticity from within the skin.

 2. Promotion of collagen production
  Thermal energy temporarily contracts collagen in the dermis and activates the production of new collagen. This may improve skin lifting and fine lines.

 3. Cooling and vibration system to reduce pain
  Conventional RF treatments could involve pain, but Volnewmer is equipped with a cooling and vibration system to reduce discomfort during treatment. This allows you to undergo treatment in a relaxed state.

In this way, Volnewmer works on the deeper layers of the skin to provide lifting and restore firmness.

Symptoms for Which Volnewmer Is Recommended

Volnewmer is recommended for people who are concerned about the following symptoms.

  • Improvement of skin sagging and looseness
  • Improvement of wrinkles and nasolabial folds
  • Improvement of fullness beside the mouth
  • Restoration of skin firmness and radiance
  • Potential lifting effect

Volnewmer may produce significant effects for the concerns described above. Compare it with similar treatments and choose the one that is appropriate for you. Each option is explained in detail below.

Improvement of Skin Sagging and Looseness

Volnewmer works from within the skin using radiofrequency energy to improve sagging and looseness. It may promote the production of collagen and elastin, which decrease with age, and help tighten the skin.

During treatment, radiofrequency energy first applies heat deep within the skin, acting on the dermis and fat layer. This heat contracts collagen, producing an immediate tightening effect.

The subsequent recovery process promotes the production of new collagen, gradually restoring firmness and elasticity. It reduces sagging along the facial contour and helps create a sharper outline, making it suitable for people concerned about nasolabial folds or fullness in the cheeks.

Compared with conventional RF treatments, Volnewmer involves less pain and almost no downtime, so another feature is that you can return to your daily life immediately after treatment. It is recommended for people who want to improve sagging and looseness while pursuing a naturally youthful appearance.

Improvement of Wrinkles and Nasolabial Folds

Volnewmer is also suitable for improving wrinkles and nasolabial folds from within the skin using radiofrequency (RF) energy. For wrinkles that become more pronounced due to reduced skin elasticity and decreased collagen, applying heat to the dermis and fat layer promotes collagen production and helps restore skin firmness.

During treatment, RF energy first reaches deep into the skin and contracts collagen fibers, producing an immediate tightening effect. As the skin’s natural regeneration process progresses, new collagen increases, making wrinkles and nasolabial folds less noticeable over time.

It may be expected to be effective particularly in areas that tend to deepen with facial movement, such as nasolabial folds around the mouth and fine lines around the eyes. It is suitable for people who want to improve wrinkles and nasolabial folds without placing a burden on the skin and aim for a more youthful, natural appearance.

Improvement of Fullness Beside the Mouth

Radiofrequency energy can also improve fullness beside the mouth. As skin elasticity decreases with age and fat along the facial contour descends, sagging around the mouth becomes more noticeable. For this condition, Volnewmer applies heat deep within the skin and may produce a tightening effect by promoting collagen production.

RF energy reaching the dermis and fat layer tightens loosened tissue. As the skin recovers, collagen increases and skin firmness improves, gradually reducing the fullness. Ultimately, the area around the mouth appears firmer and the facial contour looks more defined.

It is suitable for people concerned about sagging beside the mouth or who want a sharper facial contour.

Restoration of Skin Firmness and Radiance

Restoring skin firmness and radiance is another effect that may be expected from Volnewmer. By activating collagen and elastin reduced by aging and UV damage, it may help guide the skin toward a healthy, elastic condition from within.

Heat generated by RF energy reaching the dermis contracts collagen, allowing you to feel an immediate increase in firmness. As skin regeneration progresses, new collagen increases, and the skin gradually becomes smoother and more radiant over time. It can also address skin affected by dryness and dullness, potentially helping you achieve a youthful appearance with a sense of translucency.

It is one aesthetic treatment suitable for people concerned about skin firmness and radiance.

Lifting Is Possible

Volnewmer promotes collagen production while applying heat deep within the skin, and a lifting effect may be expected. When skin elasticity decreases with age, the facial contour can lose definition, and sagging in the cheeks and around the mouth tends to become more noticeable. Volnewmer aims to improve these concerns by tightening the skin from within.

Applying heat to loosened tissue causes it to contract, providing not only an immediate lifting effect but also promoting collagen production. As a result, the tightened condition can be maintained over time. It is particularly suitable for people concerned about fullness along the facial contour or sagging cheeks, and provides a natural finish for a youthful appearance.

It can be said to be a recommended treatment for people who want to pursue lifting without surgery.

Features of Volnewmer

Let’s look at Volnewmer’s features one by one.

  • Delivers substantial thermal energy using radiofrequency
  • Produces effects by delivering heat from the dermis to the fat layer
  • Improves the skin from within by producing collagen and elastin
  • Treatment designed to reduce pain through cooling and vibration
  • Four types of tips suited to each treatment area
  • Unique tips for delivering heat evenly

Delivers substantial thermal energy using radiofrequency

Volnewmer is a treatment that applies radiofrequency (RF energy). Its frequency is 6.78MHz, making it a high-output treatment among those using radiofrequency. It produces effects by delivering the thermal energy generated by this frequency deep into the skin.

Produces Effects by Delivering Heat from the Dermis to the Fat Layer

The thermal energy generated by Volnewmer can be delivered from the dermis to the fat layer (subcutaneous tissue). Looseness in the dermis and fat layer causes skin sagging and looseness. By delivering heat to these layers, Volnewmer promotes collagen contraction and regeneration, producing a skin-tightening effect.

Improves the Skin from Within by Producing Collagen and Elastin

When thermal energy reaches the fat layer (subcutaneous tissue) from the dermis, thermal denaturation occurs and collagen contracts. At the same time, it promotes fibroblast activation, producing collagen and elastin. Through the functions of collagen and elastin, skin firmness, radiance, and elasticity are restored, improving the skin from within.

Treatment Designed to Reduce Pain through Cooling and Vibration

The Volnewmer handpiece is equipped with a cooling system that protects the epidermis from heat-related damage. It also adds slight vibrations to the treatment area, controlling the procedure so that pain is less noticeable.

Four Types of Tips Suited to Each Treatment Area

Volnewmer is equipped with four types of tips suited to the treatment area. The areas treated range from broad areas, such as the entire face, to narrower areas, such as around the eyes, neck, and chin. By using these tips appropriately, a wide range of facial areas can be treated.

Unique Tips for Delivering Heat Evenly

Volnewmer tips have a special rounded shape. This shape allows them to adhere closely to the skin and deliver heat evenly. In addition, the system is designed to stop applying RF when part of the tip loses contact with the skin, enabling safer treatment.

How Volnewmer Differs from Other Treatments

Several treatments produce effects similar to those of Volnewmer. Here, we explain how Volnewmer differs from other treatments.

  • Differences Between Volnewmer and HIFU
  • Differences Between Volnewmer and Thermagen

Differences Between Volnewmer and HIFU

Both Volnewmer and HIFU are treatments that provide a significant tightening effect for sagging. However, their mechanisms are completely different.

HIFU delivers heat by applying high-intensity focused ultrasound. Heat is generated only where the ultrasound converges, while the areas through which it passes are not affected by heat. HIFU can tighten deeper areas than Volnewmer, such as the fat layer (deep layer) and SMAS fascia, but its treatment area is narrower.

Volnewmer, on the other hand, generates heat through radiofrequency (RF) energy. Because this heat is delivered throughout the entire area where energy is applied, it protects the skin’s surface (epidermis) with a cooling and vibration system while promoting effects across a broad area extending from the dermis to the fat layer (middle layer). Compared with HIFU, which applies energy to precise points, Volnewmer affects a wider area and produces gentler heat-related changes.

The detailed differences are explained in this article. Please use it as a reference.

Combining Volnewmer with HIFU Is Recommended for Potential Synergistic Effects

Combining Volnewmer and HIFU is an effective combination for further enhancing the improvement of sagging and lifting effects. Because the two treatments act on the skin through different approaches, synergistic effects may be expected by taking advantage of each treatment’s characteristics.

HIFU uses ultrasound to apply heat to the SMAS (fascial layer) deep within the skin, tightening the skin from its foundation. Volnewmer, on the other hand, uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to deliver heat from the dermis to the fat layer, promoting collagen production and restoring firmness and elasticity.

Combining these treatments can provide HIFU’s lifting effect from the deeper layers together with Volnewmer’s improvement of skin firmness and radiance, potentially resulting in a more youthful-looking, firmer facial contour. Since there is little pain and almost no downtime, this combination is recommended for people who want to improve sagging efficiently.

Differences Between Volnewmer and Thermagen

Both Volnewmer and Thermagen are treatments for improving sagging that use radiofrequency energy. However, their effects and features differ.

Thermagen is an RF treatment developed as an evolution of Thermacool and can deliver high-output energy deeper into the skin. It is particularly effective for sagging along the facial contour and in the cheeks, and a substantial lifting effect may be expected. However, because it uses high energy, it may cause pain during treatment, which should be taken into consideration.

Volnewmer is suitable for people seeking a natural lift with little pain, while Thermagen is suited to people seeking a substantial tightening effect.

Differences Between Volnewmer and Thermacool

Thermacool, another similar treatment, also uses radiofrequency energy to treat sagging, but its mechanism and effects differ.

Thermacool concentrates radiofrequency energy at a single point and tightens the skin at a higher temperature. It is particularly effective for tightening fat and is used to improve the facial contour and nasolabial folds and restore skin firmness. However, it may feel intensely hot during treatment and can involve pain, so anesthesia may be used.

Both are effective treatments, but it is important to choose the appropriate treatment according to your goals and skin condition.

Volnewmer Treatment Process

Volnewmer treatment is performed in the following steps.

 1. Consultation and examination
 2. Face washing
 3. Application of gel
 4. Treatment
 5. Aftercare

First, we conduct a consultation and examination. We ask about your concerns and treatment preferences and check the condition of your skin. Based on this, we determine whether Volnewmer is an appropriate treatment and, if necessary, may suggest other treatment options.

After face washing, a special gel is applied to facilitate the treatment and protect the skin from heat. The treatment is then performed. After the treatment is complete, the gel is removed as aftercare, and the skin is generally conditioned with a cooling mask or similar product.

Effective Treatment Intervals and Number of Volnewmer Treatments

For Volnewmer treatment, continued treatment once every 2–3 months is effective. You may notice effects after a single treatment, but continuing treatment regularly is recommended.

Treatment intervals and the number of sessions vary from person to person depending on the condition of the skin and symptoms. Please consult with your attending physician before considering the details of treatment.

How Long the Effects of Volnewmer Last

With Volnewmer, you may notice a lifting effect and a feeling of firmness immediately after treatment. Over the following approximately 1–3 months, collagen is produced, resulting in further tightening. As collagen increases, the skin’s elasticity gradually recovers, and the lifting effect is expected to become more established.

Although the duration varies from person to person, it is generally considered to be approximately 6 months to 1 year. It also varies depending on the condition of your skin, lifestyle, and skincare routine, so regular treatment (once every six months to one year) is recommended to maintain the effects for longer. Combining Volnewmer with other treatments such as HIFU may also be expected to provide a lifting effect for a longer period.

Precautions for Volnewmer

The following precautions apply to Volnewmer treatment.

  • People Who Cannot Undergo Treatment
  • Pain and Downtime Associated with Treatment
  • Side Effects and Risks Associated with Treatment
  • Precautions Regarding Treatment

People Who Cannot Undergo Treatment

The following people cannot undergo Volnewmer treatment.

  • People who are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • People with active lesions of herpes simplex virus type 1 or type 2 in the treatment area
  • People with metal or a medical device inserted in the treatment area
  • People with an infection or skin disease in the treatment area
  • People with a Thread lift, silicone, prosthesis, or similar material in the treatment area
  • People with diabetes, malignant tumors, heart disease, bleeding disorders, or epilepsy
  • People with a tendency to develop keloids

People who fall under any of the above conditions cannot undergo treatment. Please consult a physician.

Pain and Downtime Associated with Treatment

Volnewmer is a treatment in which pain and damage are greatly reduced by its cooling and vibration systems.

Therefore, although pain and downtime vary from person to person, the pain associated with treatment is mild, like a prickling sensation, and is not unbearable. There is also almost no downtime. Redness and a feeling of heat may occur, but they usually subside within a few hours.

Side Effects and Risks Associated with Treatment

Volnewmer may cause the following side effects and risks.

  • Redness
  • Feeling of heat
  • Swelling
  • Burns

Redness and a feeling of heat after treatment usually subside within a few hours, but side effects and risks vary from person to person. If you experience any skin problem that concerns you, do not hesitate to consult a physician.

Precautions Regarding Treatment

After Volnewmer treatment, appropriate care can help maximize the effects and prevent skin problems. Because the skin is delicate immediately after treatment, care should be taken with skincare.

The skin is prone to dryness immediately after treatment, making sufficient moisturizing care important. Use a low-irritation toner or cream to moisturize the skin thoroughly. In particular, because the skin may lose moisture easily while collagen production is being promoted, it is important to moisturize frequently.

In addition, the skin is more susceptible to UV exposure after treatment, so sun protection is essential. When going outdoors, use sunscreen with SPF30 or higher, and avoid direct sunlight by using a hat or parasol. Exposure to strong UV rays may reduce the effects of treatment or increase the risk of hyperpigmentation.

Regarding bathing and exercise, ideally limit yourself to a shower on the day of treatment and wait until the following day or later for long baths and strenuous exercise. Since increased blood circulation may intensify redness on the day of treatment, avoid alcohol and saunas as well.

People for Whom Volnewmer Treatment Is Recommended

Volnewmer is suitable for people concerned about sagging skin or reduced firmness. By using radiofrequency (RF) energy to act on the dermis and fat layer and promote collagen production, it may provide lifting and restore skin elasticity.

  • People who want to tighten fullness along the facial contour
  • People concerned about nasolabial folds or sagging around the mouth
  • People looking for a lifting treatment involving little pain
  • People who want a treatment with almost no downtime
  • People who want to naturally restore skin firmness and radiance

Volnewmer makes it relatively easy to notice skin tightening immediately after treatment, and as collagen production progresses over time, a more lasting lifting effect may be expected.

People Who May Find It Difficult to Notice the Effects of Volnewmer

Volnewmer is a treatment for improving sagging skin and reduced firmness, but not everyone experiences the same effects. In the following cases, you may find it difficult to notice the expected effects.

  • People with significant skin sagging
  • People seeking immediate effects
  • People whose skin already has sufficient elasticity and firmness
  • People expecting long-term effects from a single treatment
  • People whose goal is to improve areas with a large amount of fat

Volnewmer is suitable for mild to moderate sagging, and it is important to undergo treatment with realistic expectations. If you seek greater effects, you may wish to consider combining it with other treatments or receiving regular maintenance.
