Treatment room with RF lifting device at Umi Clinic, Myeongdong — **1 session** Tightening builds over 1–3 months

Quick answer

What is Volnewmer?

Volnewmer is a Korean monopolar radiofrequency (RF) skin-tightening device. It heats the deep dermis evenly to contract collagen and trigger new collagen, while a water-cooling tip protects the skin surface — so it feels gentler than many RF lifts.

It is popular in Seoul for mild sagging, jawline definition and crepey skin, and is often compared with Thermage FLX. Most people go straight back to sightseeing after treatment.

FAQ

Volnewmer questions

Is Volnewmer painful?

Most people find it comfortable. Numbing cream and the water-cooled tip keep the heat tolerable, and energy is adjusted as we go.

Volnewmer or Thermage — which is better?

Both use monopolar RF. Thermage FLX is the original premium device; Volnewmer is a Korean alternative with water cooling that many find more comfortable and more affordable. The doctor can advise which suits your skin and budget.

Can I combine Volnewmer with HIFU?

Yes. HIFU (Ultherapy or Shurink) lifts deeper tissue while Volnewmer tightens skin, so they are often done together.

How long do results last?

Typically 6–12 months, depending on age, skin and lifestyle.

Do foreigners pay more?

No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
