Volumization and Skin Quality
Volnewmer Program:
New Technology for Skin Treatment with Radiofrequency (RF)
In an era where skincare is increasingly important, issues related to skin deterioration caused by aging, sunlight, and pollution are unavoidable. New, non-invasive technologies for facial treatment and skin rejuvenation that require no downtime are garnering significant interest. Volnewmer is an innovation that meets these needs using specific radiofrequency waves with a maximum frequency of 6.78 MHz, effectively tightening the skin and reducing wrinkles. Volnewmer is designed to measure skin resistance in real-time, allowing for the appropriate energy to be delivered uniformly into the skin. Its cooling system and tip vibration reduce pain, while the specially designed tips can be used on various parts of the body to achieve the best results in restoring skin structure and elasticity.
Mechanism of Treatment with Volnewmer
When Volnewmer delivers RF energy to the skin, two mechanisms respond:
1. Immediate Collagen Contraction:
This process involves a biological change caused by heat, leading to the shrinkage of the triple helix structure of collagen.
2. Thermal Tissue Response:
This stimulates the formation of new blood vessels and collagen (neocollagenesis), followed by the remodeling of collagen within approximately 3-4 months.
Key Features of Volnewmer
1. Stable Technology and Energy:
Volnewmer uses radiofrequency technology that can measure skin resistance in real-time prior to delivering energy in each shot. This data allows physicians to adjust energy according to the measured values, ensuring that the skin receives appropriate energy each time, thereby reducing risk and enhancing treatment effectiveness.
2. Effective Energy Distribution:
The energy is delivered uniformly to the skin layers using a Gold Tilting Tip Head, reaching areas with dense collagen and elastin. The heat passes through the outer layer of skin (epidermis) into the dermis and remains for more than 60 seconds, improving treatment outcomes.
3. Comfortable Tip Design:
The tip of Volnewmer is designed with a curved surface and rounded edges, allowing for better skin contact and more effective energy delivery. This design helps reduce pain and side effects during treatment, as the curved shape facilitates easy angling to access different areas of the face.
4. High Safety Operation:
Volnewmer features a Hydro Cooling system that provides continuous cooling at four levels for the upper layer of skin (epidermis) to prevent burns during RF energy delivery. Additionally, this cooling enhances skin resistance, maximizing results. The system also includes vibration to help minimize discomfort, allowing for a more comfortable treatment experience.
5. Diverse Tips for All Body Parts:
Volnewmer comes with four different tips suitable for various body parts:
- I Tip (Eye area 0.25): Designed to reach around the eyes, helping to reduce wrinkles and rejuvenate the delicate skin in this area.
- F Tip (Face area 3.0): Ideal for overall facial care, reducing wrinkles and increasing skin elasticity.
- V Tip (Face area 4.0): Suitable for facial and body skin treatment.
- S Tip (Body area 16.0): Used for managing loose skin in various body areas, such as arms, legs, and other areas needing special care.
Physicians can continuously combine treatments using different tips to achieve the best results tailored to the patient's skin condition and needs.

Preparation for Volnewmer Treatment
Before receiving treatment with Volnewmer, you should:
- Avoid intense facial treatments or products with harsh chemicals for at least 2 weeks prior.
- Inform the physician about any allergies or medications you are taking.
Treatment Procedure with Volnewmer
- Begin with a consultation to assess the skin condition according to individual needs.
- Cleanse the skin.
- The doctor will select the appropriate tip for the area being treated.
Post-Treatment Guidelines for Volnewmer
After treatment with Volnewmer, you should follow these guidelines:
- To effectively protect your skin, avoid direct sun exposure for at least 48 hours after the treatment, as UV rays may irritate and affect the healing process. Apply sunscreen daily using a product with an SPF of at least 30, even if you're in the shade or not directly exposed to sunlight, to ensure optimal protection for sensitive skin.
- To keep your skin hydrated, use a gentle moisturizer and avoid products with irritants such as Retinoids and AHA for at least 3 days post-treatment. Additionally, drink at least 2 liters of water daily to maintain adequate hydration, aiding skin recovery and improving lymphatic circulation for better detoxification.
- Avoid heat and irritation; do not use hot water or steam on the treated areas for at least 48 hours after treatment, and refrain from using exfoliating or peeling products for at least 1 week, allowing the skin ample time to adjust and enabling dead skin cells to naturally shed. Avoid picking or scratching the treated area to minimize irritation.
- It's advisable to avoid strenuous exercise for at least 48 hours, as excessive sweating may irritate the treated facial skin.
- Use cold compresses on the treated area if redness or swelling occurs, but avoid ice directly against the skin to prevent burns; wrap the ice in a thick cloth or towel before applying.
- Use gentle, non-exfoliating facial cleansers without alcohol or fragrance. - Avoid skincare products containing Retinoids, AHA, BHA, or Vitamin C, as these may cause irritation.
- Refrain from makeup for at least 24 hours.
Effectiveness and Results of Volnewmer Treatment
The first study evaluated the effects of Volnewmer on the average skin roughness, which indicates wrinkles on the skin, and concluded that Volnewmer treatment significantly improved average skin roughness as follows:
- Immediately after treatment, The average roughness value (Ra) decreased by 28.42% from 16.71 to 11.88 units.
- One month after treatment: The average roughness value (Ra) showed continuous improvement of 26.23%, further decreasing to 12.33 units compared to the baseline.
These percentages reflect the effectiveness of RF treatment in reducing fine lines and improving skin smoothness both immediately and over the long term.

Results of Volnewmer Treatment
The results of Volnewmer treatment can be seen immediately, approximately 20%, due to the occurrence of immediate collagen contraction right after the procedure. Results will become more apparent around two weeks post-treatment and will continue to improve until fully visible at around 3-6 months. Results can last 6 to 12 months, depending on the patient's skin condition. Additionally, Volnewmer can be repeated every 3 months to maintain a youthful appearance.
