The disadvantages of "volnewmer" are explained. Volnewmer is suited for the treatment of lines and sagging around the mouth. While there are some positive benefits, it cannot be denied that there are also some concerns. In this issue, we will introduce the mechanism and features of Vollnuerma as well as its disadvantages. This is a must-see for those who are concerned about volnuma as well as those who are worried about sagging. Let's deepen your knowledge, including the disadvantages, and consider treatment.
What is Volnuma? Advanced Sagging Treatment Features
First, let us introduce how Volnuma works and how it differs from conventional radiofrequency therapy.
How ■Volnuma works and how it is performed

What is volnuma?Beauty therapy equipment that outputs radiofrequency waves to the skinIt is. Electrode pads are attached to the abdomen and back, gel is applied to the area to be treated, and the area is irradiated with a special cartridge.
Let us check the structure of the skin here. The skin is layered from the surface to the back in the following order: epidermis, dermis, subcutaneous tissue (fat layer), SMAS layer, and muscle.
The radiofrequency used in Volnuma is 6.78 MHz radiofrequency (RF). When radiofrequency waves are applied to the skin, molecules in the body rub against each other, generating frictional heat that reaches the dermis and fat layer.Thermal stimulation of the fat layer increases fiber content, which tightens the entire face.The first is the
In addition, the Volnuma procedure also promotes collagen production in the dermis. Sagging and fine lines and wrinkles are reduced and lifted.
Differences between ■Volnuma and conventional radiofrequency therapy
The bottleneck of radiofrequency treatment, which produces strong thermal energy, is that the patient can easily feel pain during the treatment. In order to reduce the pain that can be a disadvantage, VORNEUMA has developed its own cartridge technology and cooling/vibration functions.Reduced pain during treatment compared to conventional radiofrequency treatmentThe first time the company was founded, it was in the process of being reorganized into a new company.
In addition, the VORNEUMA cartridges are available in multiple sizes, allowing the user to select the size that matches the irradiated area, thereby ensuring effective treatment.
Disadvantages and Cautions for Volnuma
Volnuma is a savior for those who suffer from sagging and lack of firmness, but there are some disadvantages that should be understood.
■Disadvantages of Volnuma (1) Risk of side effects
Volnuma is a non-invasive treatment that does not use scalpels or needles and has virtually no downtime. Nevertheless, because changes occur within the skin, temporary side effects may occur depending on the constitution and skin type. The main symptoms of side effects after a BornuMa treatment are as follows
- blush
- swelling
- feverish
- burn
- numbness
- internal hemorrhage
- muscle stiffness (esp. in shoulders)
- bleaching
- Sensory dullness, etc.
Unless the symptoms are severe, the patient will feel better a few hours to the next day after the procedure. However, if side effects persist for several days, consult the clinic.
■Disadvantage of Volnuma (2) Individual differences in effectiveness
The volnuma is,2 weeks to 1 month after the treatment is the best time to feel the efficacy.It is considered to be a "good idea. Therefore, immediately after receiving the treatment, you may wonder, "Won't it work? "When will it start to change?" and "When will it start to change? The timing of the effect of Volnuma varies from person to person. Some people may notice a "reduction in sagging" in a few days, while others may begin to notice changes after one month.
In addition, a semi-permanent effect cannot be achieved with a single treatment. If a lasting effect is desired, irradiation is required every 3 to 6 months.
■Disadvantage 3) Cost considerations are necessary for volumetric pneumatics.
When undergoing vorneuma, make sure you know the cost. The price of volnuma depends on the number of shots and the area to be irradiated. Pricing varies from clinic to clinic, though,More than $100,000 per treatment.It is not uncommon for the number of shots to be reduced. However, if the number of shots is reduced in order to "keep the borneurosis cost low," there is a risk that the results will not be as good as expected.
In addition, the cost of regular treatment tends to be high. The cost of the treatment should be taken into consideration before undergoing a volnuma treatment.
Comparison of Volnuma with other cosmetic treatments

In addition to Volnuma, there are other cosmetic treatments that aim to treat sagging skin by irradiating waves, such as Hyf, Thermagen, and InMode. Let's compare how each differs from Volnuma.
■ Differences between volumetric pneumatics and hyphenation
The difference between Volnuma and HIF is in the waves and target layers that are irradiated. Volnuma uses radio waves,Treatment that stimulates the dermal and fat layersIt is. In contrast, the hyph.High-density focused ultrasound irradiationSMAS layer Heat energy is delivered to the SMAS layer, which is deeper than the fat layer. By tightening the SMAS layer, which is the foundation of the skin, sagging is improved and the skin is lifted.
There are also differences in the irradiation range. Volnuma isextensivewhile the hyphs arepinpointThe irradiation is performed with Therefore, rather than "choosing either Volnuma or Hyphen," it is possible to complement the strengths and weaknesses of both by combining them, aiming for effective alleviation of the appearance of sagging skin.
■ Difference between Volnuma and Thermacool Thermagen
Thermacool, like Volnuma, delivers radiofrequency (RF) waves. It is a procedure that approaches the dermis and fat layers to alleviate sagging. The major difference is,Pain... Thermacool tends to cause severe pain during the procedure. It also has fewer types of cartridges than Volnuma and may be more difficult to adapt to the eye area.
Thermagen is an advanced version of Thermacool. Thermagen is also a procedure that irradiates radiofrequency (RF), but with a lower output,Heat reaches the shallow fat layer.It is. Therefore, it is suitable for the treatment of puckering and lines on the sides of the mouth, and has features that take into consideration pain and heat.
What are the effects of Thermagen? Differences from Thermacool and Hyf explained.
■Differences in characteristics between volumetric and in-mode
Inmode is a combined device that has three functions: "FORMA" (radiofrequency (RF)), "Mini FX" (a combination of RF and high voltage), and "Lumecca" (light therapy (IPL)). In Japan, the combination treatment using "FORMA" and "Mini FX" is called InMode Lift.
The radiofrequency (RF) of InMode Lift is different from that of Volnuma,Approaches a shallow and narrow area of the dermis layerThe skin is the most important part of the body. Not only does it promote tightening of the area close to the epidermis, but it also aims to reduce sagging caused by fat.
Volnuma Q&A for cosmetic medicine beginners
Finally, let's address some common questions about volnuma.
Is it true that ■vol pneumatics can rub off?
Basically, there is no concern about cheek or facial line bumps with volnuma. However, if there is little subcutaneous fat, the possibility of bumping cannot be denied. In order to obtain the ideal results with Volnuma, it is important to choose a clinic that has the ability to design and assess the condition of the skin.
Are there any cases where ■volnuma cannot be received?
The following persons are not eligible for treatment with Volnuma
- Pregnant (including possible pregnancy) and lactating mothers
- Persons with heart disease
- Keloidal constitution
- Those with embedded electronics, metal plates, etc.
- Those who have not yet undergone eye surgery for six months.
- Those who have scars on the treated area, etc.
Other considerations should be made if you are diabetic or have a condition in the area to be treated. Consult with your doctor before the procedure.
Can I take a bath after the ■volnuma procedure?
Bathing is allowed on the day of VORNEUMA treatment. Makeup and face washing are also allowed; however, avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol consumption, and other activities that increase blood circulation. When going out, please wear sunscreen to protect against ultraviolet rays.
■ Conclusion.
Volnuma has some disadvantages, such as the potential risk of side effects and the time it takes to feel the effects. The cost may also need to be taken into consideration if the procedure is to be continued. On the other hand, VolnuMa has the advantage of being able to alleviate sagging skin and lift up the skin while taking into consideration the pain involved. Another advantage is that there is little or no downtime after the procedure. Please do not get caught up in either the merits or demerits, but try to understand both sides and use them as factors in your decision-making process.
