At a glance
Volnewmer passes radiofrequency current between an electrode tip and a return pad attached to the body, and the heat generated as tissue resists the current is delivered relatively broadly, centred on the dermis. During treatment, water-cooled contact cooling protects the epidermis. Results and how long they last vary between individuals, and it is not a substitute for surgical lifting.
How it works
Monopolar RF uses a single electrode in contact with the treatment area, with the current returning through a return pad attached elsewhere on the body. As the current passes through tissue, resistance generates heat, and the device is designed so that this heat acts on collagen in the dermis.
According to the manufacturer, Volnewmer protects the epidermis with continuous water-cooled contact cooling during treatment and checks skin contact (impedance) before delivering energy. Even with these features it is a heat-based procedure, so settings matched to your skin and the practitioner's judgement are important.

Treatment is performed with cooling, but you may still feel warmth or heat. How strongly you feel it depends on the area and the individual, and we adjust the intensity during treatment.
How many shots will I have?
We do not set fixed shot-count packages in advance. We explain this at the consultation after checking your skin condition and treatment areas.
Can I have it together with Shurink Universe?
Depending on your skin condition, both procedures are sometimes planned together. The order and interval are decided after the consultation.
