The pain of Volnuma is explained. Volnuma has been attracting attention in the world of cosmetic medicine. Many people may be wondering about its effectiveness and pain. Here, we summarize in detail the details of Vollnuma's treatment and its innovations to reduce irritation. It also summarizes the differences from other treatments and possible concomitant procedures, so please use it as a reference when finding the cosmetic treatment that is right for you.
What is Volnuma? Basic Information and Features
First, let's check out some basic information about Bornuma.
How does ■Volnuma work and what are its effects?
Volnuma is a treatment in which radiofrequency (RF) waves are irradiated to the entire dermal layer and subcutaneous tissue. as well as the dermal layer,The feature is that heat energy can be applied evenly to deep fat layers, etc.It is.
The thermal energy of the volnuma includes thermal denaturation in the fat layer tofirmingThere is a Also, to stimulate the dermal layer to stimulate collagen production,Effective in improving skin elasticity and firmnessIt is.
What are the main indicated areas for ■volnuma?
Volnuma is a procedure that can be applied mainly to the face, but also to the neck and other parts of the body. Not to mention the facial lines,It can also be used to address sagging around the eyes, cheeks, and mouth.。
The cartridges enable irradiation of a wide range of areas: four different cartridges can be used to irradiate the eye area, décolleté, and other areas. This is why Volnuma is attracting attention as a flexible treatment that can be tailored to the problems of the patient.
What is the cost of volnuma?
The cost of volnuma varies depending on the area to be treated, but generallyApprox. 100,000 yen per full faceIt is. Irradiation of the entire face plus the lower part of the chin will cost around 120,000 to 140,000 yen. Pricing varies from clinic to clinic, and you may be able to save money with a set plan of multiple sessions or a combination plan with other treatments. Decide on a menu that suits your purpose and budget.
Some clinics offer a light course of partial radiofrequency irradiation, which costs 50,000 to 80,000 yen, making it easy for first-timers to consider.
When do the effects of ■volnuma last and for how long?
The effects of the volnuma are generally not wellFrom 1 month after treatmentThis is considered to be the case. On the other hand, some patients feel that their sagging has improved within a few days after the procedure. Since there are individual differences in postoperative changes, it is advisable to wait a little patiently, considering that it takes time, rather than judging that "I received Volnuma but it is not effective" immediately after the procedure.
The peak effect is 1 to 3 months after the treatment. After that, the effect will gradually diminish, so if you want to keep the good condition, please contact us.Requires one treatment every 4-6 monthsIt is. This may be a disadvantage for those who wish to treat sagging in a single volnuma.
Can ■vol pneumatics rub you the wrong way?
Volnuma is to contract and tighten the subcutaneous tissue,There is no guarantee that it won't tip over.. Irradiation to areas with little or no subcutaneous fat should be done with caution. Choose a clinic that offers suitable treatment after assessing the skin condition.
The Pain of Volnuma
Volnuma is a pain-free treatment. Because it targets the dermal layer and subcutaneous tissue, damage to the epidermis is minimized. In addition, the device may be equipped with vibration and cooling functions, allowing the treatment to be performed while protecting the skin surface.
However, it is not entirely painless. Although it is not irritating enough to interrupt the treatment, there is a possibility of feeling "hot" due to the application of thermal energy. Since the feeling varies from person to person, each individual may rate it differently, such as "not painful" or "a little painful.
To reduce the pain of ■volnuma
Volnuma is basically a treatment that can be performed without the use of anesthesia. However, for those who are concerned about pain, many medical institutions use laughing gas anesthesia or anesthetic cream before the procedure. If you are sensitive to pain, it is advisable to inform your doctor in advance.
Let's compare Volnuma with other treatments!
The same sagging treatments often compared to Volnuma are Hyf and Thermacool. So what are the differences between these treatments? Let's check out the differences between Volnuma and Hyf and Thermacool.
■ Difference between volumetric and hyphenated
Volnuma uses radiofrequency waves to transfer heat throughout the dermis layer and subcutaneous tissue. HIF, on the other hand, is from the subcutaneous tissue to the SMAS layer, the foundation of the skin,Treatment with pinpoint ultrasound irradiationIt is. Hyf has the effect of thermally coagulating and tightening the SMAS layer. It is also expected to activate collagen production during the healing process of thermal denaturation. This is why it is the treatment of choice for those seeking a lift and a smaller face. In addition, in terms of costVolnuma tends to be more affordable.。
Hyf also includes Super Hyf, which focuses on protein denaturation. It features more efficient skin tightening and volume reduction than HIF.
■Differences between volumetric pneumatics and thermacooling
Thermacool is a treatment that uses the same radiofrequency radiation as VolnuMa to improve sagging skin. The major difference between Volnuma and Thermacool is,Types of cartridges and pain considerationsThere are four types of volnuma cartridges, whereas there are three types of thermacool. Therefore,Volnuma can irradiate a wider area, such as under the eyes and neckThe pain is less than that of Thermacool, which does not have a cooling or vibratory function. In addition, Vollnuma is said to be less painful than Thermacool, which does not have cooling and vibration functions. In addition, Vollnuma is often slightly more expensive.
■ Difference between volnuma and tenor
Tenol is another type of sagging treatment that uses radiofrequency waves. It uses high frequency to vibrate water molecules and apply heat to the dermal and fat layers to cause contraction, thereby improving the quality of fat and subcutaneous conditions. It also promotes collagen production by activating fibroblasts, thereby improving skin elasticity. Due to the gradual application of heat,Attractive to receive the treatment without feeling pain.It is. In addition to the face, this treatment is also used for body care. Which is more suitable for you depends on your individual skin condition, so please consult with your doctor to determine which is best for you.
Can be used to further address skin concerns! Treatment that can be used in combination with Volnuma
Volnuma can be combined with other cosmetic treatments to achieve even greater results. For example, the layers approached by VolnuMa and HIF are different. While VolnuMa works on the dermis layer to the subcutaneous tissue, HIF works on the subcutaneous tissue to the SMAS layer. Therefore, when the two treatments are used together, they can work on both the shallow and deep layers of the skin. If you want to get better results and are not sure whether to have VORNEUMA or HIF, you should consider having both.
It can also be combined with hyaluronic acid injections, Botox injections, thread lifts, and Potenza. For those who wish to improve their skin problems more effectively, it is recommended to consider a combination of these treatments after consulting with a doctor.

Volnuma is an attractive option for those who want to improve sagging skin while reducing pain. However, whichever treatment you choose to undergo, you need to choose one that matches your concerns.
