1. What gel should I use? Ultrasound gel?
Volnewmer uses monopolar radiofrequency (RF) technology, not ultrasound. Typically, RF treatments do not require ultrasound gel but rather a conductive medium or sometimes no gel if the device tip is designed for direct contact with cooling. Specific product instructions should be followed, but no mention of ultrasound gel is made for Volnewmer.
2. Ideal client for this treatment? Skinny or big cheeks, etc?
Volnewmer is suitable for a wide range of clients aiming to improve skin laxity, firmness, and texture. It works well on midface, lower face, cheeks, jawline, and eyelids. Both clients with “skinny” or fuller cheeks can benefit, as it tightens and lifts skin rather than reducing volume.
3. Treatment time?
A typical Volnewmer session lasts approximately 25 to 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area size.
4. Should I apply any mask after?
Post-treatment care includes avoiding irritants and sun exposure but does not specifically require a mask. Gentle moisturizers are recommended to maintain hydration. Avoid harsh products like retinoids or AHAs for at least 3 days post-treatment.
5. Is it 200 shots per 1 eye, or 200 shots for 2 eyes?
Pricing and treatment protocols suggest 200 shots correspond to treatment for both eyes combined, not per single eye. For example, Eye Volnewmer 200 shots is a standard package.
6. On eye, should I work only on bone?
Treatment typically targets the skin around the eye area, including the bone structure for lifting and tightening. The RF energy is delivered to dermal layers overlying the bone, so working along the orbital bone is standard to achieve lifting effects without damaging delicate tissues.
7. Is it helping with eye bags?
Volnewmer can improve skin laxity and firmness around the eyes, which may reduce the appearance of mild eye bags caused by loose skin. However, it is not primarily a fat-reducing treatment, so severe eye bags might require additional or different treatments.
8. Do you have stickers for machine? Will send you pic.
No specific information about stickers or machine accessories was found in the sources. For consumables or accessories, contact the device supplier or manufacturer directly.
9. How much treatment can be performed and how often?
- Full face: about 600 shots every 6 months is recommended.
- Mid-face only: 300 shots may suffice.
- Eye area: 200 shots.
Sessions can be repeated every 3 to 6 months depending on skin condition and goals.
10. After what time will client see results?
Clients often notice immediate tightening effects, with optimal results developing over 4 to 10 weeks. Continued improvement can last up to 3 to 6 months post-treatment.
11. With what should I clean tips? Antibacterial wipes?
No explicit cleaning instructions were found, but standard practice for RF devices involves cleaning tips with medical-grade antibacterial or disinfectant wipes after each use to maintain hygiene.
12. What treatments can be done and not done before and after?
- Avoid intense facial treatments or harsh chemical products at least 2 weeks before.
- After treatment, avoid sun exposure for 48 hours, heat, steam, exfoliating products for 1 week, and strenuous exercise for 48 hours.
- Use gentle skincare products and sunscreen.
13. What injectable treatments can be done and not done before and after?
No direct contraindications are listed, but injectable treatments like fillers or Botox should ideally be scheduled with sufficient intervals to avoid overlapping inflammation or irritation. Consultation with a physician is recommended to coordinate timing.
14. When can PLLA injections be done?
Injectable poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) treatments require spacing of at least 3 weeks between sessions, with a typical course involving multiple sessions spaced 3 months apart to allow tissue response and collagen remodeling. It is advisable to allow a healing period after Volnewmer before starting PLLA injections, typically several weeks, but exact timing should be confirmed by the treating physician.
15. What are contraindications for treatment?
- Presence of implanted medical devices such as pacemakers, defibrillators, or automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillators (AICD) in the treatment area.
- Use of permanent fillers or facial surgeries involving implanted materials in the area to be treated.
- Abnormal skin conditions in the treatment area, including active infections, open wounds, or dermatological diseases.
- Chronic diseases such as diabetes, epilepsy, blood clotting disorders, or autoimmune diseases; these require careful consultation before treatment.
- Active cancer or ongoing malignant disease (not in remission).
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Recent cosmetic procedures: botulinum toxin or filler injections within the last 4 weeks, fat or skin grafts within the last 6 months, or recent tattoos in the treatment area.
- People with keloid tendencies, hypertrophic scars, or bleeding disorders in the treatment area.
- Heart disease or poor skin condition in the treatment site.
- People with embedded metal components such as metal threads or plates (excluding dental implants).
Additional Precautions
- Patients taking prolonged anti-inflammatory medications or anticoagulants should consult a physician before treatment.
- Those with active herpes simplex infections should avoid treatment until resolved.
- Individuals with hypersensitivity or poor skin condition in the treatment area should seek medical advice before proceeding.
