VOLNEWMER RF Liftingin Seoul

Skin loosens as the collagen and elastic fibers of the dermis thin with age, sun and weight change. In the early stage the change shows as texture and softness more than folds: fine wrinkles, a cheek contour that sits a little lower, and a jaw edge that is less crisp. Monopolar radiofrequency is aimed at that stage, because it warms tissue under the surface while the skin itself stays closed.

The course shapes the plan. Around 3 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart means at least two return visits, which fits people who live in Seoul or come to Korea regularly. One session on a single trip is possible, and the trade-off is worth weighing before you book.

The reasons to wait follow from how the device works. Electrical current travels through the body to a return pad, so implanted electronics are a reason to avoid it, and skin that already hangs in folds has stretched beyond what heat can draw back.

Radiofrequency energy is an alternating electrical current. In a monopolar device it flows from the treatment tip through the body to a return pad, and the resistance of the tissue turns it into heat in the dermis and the fibrous layer beneath it. Heated collagen contracts slightly at once and is then remodeled over the following weeks, which is when any firming develops.

Published studies describe VOLNEWMER as a 115-watt, 6.78 MHz monopolar radiofrequency device with continuous water cooling (Kim, 2024). The cooled tip protects the outer skin while heat builds below it.

Evidence specific to this device is early. In a study of 45 people, skin roughness measured on 3D scans fell after one session and stayed lower at one month, with no control group (Kim, 2024). A second study of 30 Korean women found increased lift in the mid-cheek and lower face at one month, again uncontrolled and combined with a topical solution (Kim, 2024). Reviews of radiofrequency in general report measurable tightening with mostly mild, short-lived side effects (Rohrich, 2022), while pointing out that varied settings and weak study design leave the size of the effect uncertain (Araújo, 2015). A randomized trial of a different monopolar device found its results comparable to an older Thermage system at six months (Wang, 2025). These findings come from short follow-up or other devices, so they are background to the method, and results vary from person to person.

Shot count sets how much energy reaches the face. The 300-shot and 600-shot face plans differ in the number of pulses spread over the treated zones, and the eye plans use fewer shots for the thin skin around the eyes.

VOLNEWMER is sold by shot count, and one shot is one pulse of radiofrequency energy. The face comes in 300-shot and 600-shot plans, while Eye VOLNEWMER is a separate plan of 100 or 200 shots, so treating the face and the eye area means adding two cards together.

The course runs to around 3 sessions, so the cost of a full course is the plan price multiplied by the number of sessions agreed for your skin. Each card shows the price before VAT; the 10% VAT is charged at payment and the VAT-inclusive amount sits on the card beside it.

A written quote that names the plan, the shot count and the number of sessions makes it easier to set the total against flights and accommodation before you commit.

Radiofrequency heat under intact skin carries these known effects:

• Redness, warmth and swelling for a few days.
• Tenderness or a bruised feeling when the treated area is pressed.
• A blister or small burn where heat gathers in one place.
• A small dent from loss of fat under the skin, a rare complication of radiofrequency heating.
• Temporary tingling or reduced sensation.
• Modest or no visible change, since response to radiofrequency differs between people.

In a systematic review, serious complications were reported more with monopolar devices than with bipolar ones, although side effects across the studies were mostly mild and short-lived (Rohrich, 2022). Tell the clinic about pacemakers, metal in the face, recent filler or threads before treatment, and get in touch if a blister forms or a sore spot lingers past the first few days.
