What is Volnewmer?

Volnewmer is a radiofrequency skin-tightening device from Classys, the Korean company that also makes Shurink. It uses monopolar RF, the principle behind Thermage, to heat the deep dermis. That heat contracts existing collagen and signals the skin to build new collagen over the following weeks, so skin looks firmer and smoother.

Its signature feature is a tip cooled by circulating water. Cooling the surface during each pulse lets the doctor deliver deep heat with less surface discomfort, which is why Volnewmer is often chosen by people who found other RF treatments intense. It is one of several options in our lifting treatment menu.

How Volnewmer works

Deep heating: RF current warms the dermis, where collagen lives.
Surface protection: water-cooled tips keep the top layer of skin comfortable and protected.
Remodeling: new collagen forms over one to three months, firming and smoothing the skin.

Why does cooling matter? With RF, the energy you can comfortably tolerate limits how much heat reaches the dermis. Better surface cooling means the doctor can often keep energy at an effective level for longer passes. Different tips let the doctor treat broad areas such as the cheeks and jawline as well as more delicate zones, with energy adjusted for thin skin.

Who is a good candidate?

Adults from their late 20s onward with early laxity or loss of bounce
Crepey skin on the cheeks, jawline or neck
People sensitive to heat who want a more comfortable RF experience
Anyone looking for RF tightening at a lower price than Thermage

Volnewmer tightens skin rather than lifting the deep SMAS layer. If jowls are the main concern, your doctor may pair it with focused ultrasound such as Shurink Universe. For thinning, papery skin, see our page on crepey skin treatment.

Plan	Typical areas	Notes
300 shots	Face (focused)	First treatment or maintenance

900 shots	Full face, jawline and neck	When laxity extends below the jaw

Your doctor confirms the shot count after examining you. See current plans on the Volnewmer price page. Prices are in Korean won (KRW), exclude 10% VAT, and are confirmed at your consultation.

Your session at Dernia, step by step

Consultation in English with a licensed medical doctor, who assesses laxity and skin thickness.
Numbing with topical anesthetic cream for about 30 minutes.
Grid marking for even coverage.
Treatment in passes, with energy raised gradually to your comfort.
Soothing with a calming mask and sunscreen.

Each pulse feels like a wave of deep warmth, quickly balanced by the cooled tip.

Downtime and aftercare

Most people have light pinkness for an hour or two and nothing more. Makeup is fine the same day. For 24 hours, avoid saunas, hot baths, alcohol-heavy evenings and intense exercise, keep the skin hydrated and use sunscreen. Temporary swelling or small blisters are rare and are checked by the medical team.

Results: what to expect and when

Skin may feel firmer straight away. The main change appears at four to eight weeks as new collagen forms, with smoother texture, a crisper jawline and less crepiness, settling by about three months. Results usually last six to twelve months. Age, sun exposure, smoking and weight changes all affect how long the firming holds, and a daily sunscreen habit helps protect your new collagen.

Volnewmer vs other RF treatments

Thermage FLX is the original monopolar RF system and tends to last longer per session, at a higher price; compare them in Thermage FLX vs Volnewmer. Oligio X is the other leading Korean RF device. The two give similar results; the difference is mostly in cooling and how the heat feels, explained in Oligio X vs Volnewmer.

Planning Volnewmer around a trip to Seoul

Volnewmer is one session with no recovery, so it fits even a two- or three-day visit, and flying the next day is generally fine. Book it early in your stay so you can ask questions in person before you leave. If you are adding Botox or skin boosters, your doctor will usually do the RF first. Ready to start? Book a consultation and your doctor will confirm the right shot count.

Safety: who should avoid or delay it

Volnewmer is not suitable if you have a pacemaker or another implanted electronic device, are pregnant, or have an active skin infection or open wound in the area. Tell your doctor about metal implants in the face, recent filler or threads, recent isotretinoin or a history of keloids. At Dernia, licensed medical doctors perform Volnewmer and confirm suitability before treatment.

Is Volnewmer less painful than Thermage?

Many people find it more comfortable because the water-cooled tip protects the surface during each pulse. Comfort still varies by person and area, and energy is always adjusted to what you can tolerate.

Volnewmer or Oligio X: which is better?

Both are Korean monopolar RF devices with similar results. The main differences are the cooling method and how the heat feels, so your doctor will suggest the one that suits your skin and comfort.

How many Volnewmer shots do I need?

About 300 shots suits a focused face treatment, 600 shots covers the full face and jawline, and 900 shots adds the neck. Your doctor confirms the count after examining you.

How long do Volnewmer results last?

Results usually last six to twelve months. Many people repeat it once or twice a year, or alternate it with focused ultrasound lifting.

Can I fly after Volnewmer?

Yes. There is no wound to heal, so flying the next day is generally fine. Keep your skin hydrated on the plane.
