How Volnewmer works

Volnewmer delivers 6.78 MHz monopolar radiofrequency energy through the dermis. Controlled heating causes your existing collagen to contract, which gives an immediate firming effect, and triggers your body's natural repair response, which lays down fresh collagen over the following weeks. The surface of the skin is cooled continuously throughout, so treatment stays comfortable.

Simplified cross-section of the skin. Volnewmer's radiofrequency energy is concentrated in the dermis (highlighted), where it heats collagen — it does not treat the epidermis, hypodermis or muscle layer directly.

The technology

Volnewmer uses two interchangeable handpiece tips — a V Tip and an F Tip — so your practitioner can match the energy delivery to each area of your face and neck. Both use a gold contact surface with continuous water cooling, so the skin surface stays comfortable while energy is delivered underneath.

Why choose Volnewmer over surgery

For early-stage laxity, many clients prefer a non-surgical route. Here's an honest comparison.

Volnewmer

  • No incisions or scarring
  • No anaesthesia
  • Back to normal activity the same day
  • Gradual, natural-looking results
  • Lower cost per session

Surgical facelift

  • Incisions and scarring
  • General anaesthesia and surgical risk
  • Weeks of downtime and recovery
  • Immediate, more dramatic change
  • Higher upfront cost

Volnewmer suits early-to-moderate laxity. It isn't a substitute for surgery where there's significant excess skin — we'll tell you honestly at consultation if that's your situation.

What it can help with

  • Softening along the jawline and jowls
  • Loss of firmness on the cheeks and mid-face
  • Crepey skin around and beneath the eyes
  • Loose or lined skin on the neck
  • Overall skin tone and texture

Areas we treat

  • Full face
  • Full face and eyes
  • Full face, eyes and neck
  • Eyes only (periorbital)
  • Body: abdomen, knees and thighs

Your exact plan is confirmed at consultation. Pricing is shown on our Fresha booking page.

Volnewmer isn't just for the face — the same radiofrequency technology firms and smooths skin on the abdomen, knees and thighs.

What to expect

01
Consultation

Medical history and a suitability check. If Volnewmer isn't right for you, we'll say so.

02
Treatment

Waves of heat with cooling in between. Most people describe it as warm and manageable.

03
Duration

Around 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the areas treated.

04
Aftercare

Skin may look pink for an hour or two. Make-up and normal activity straight after.

When you'll see results

Some tightening is often noticeable straight away, as existing collagen contracts. New collagen builds gradually over roughly 8 to 12 weeks and can keep developing for several months after that. How long results last varies by individual — your practitioner will talk through a maintenance plan that suits your skin.

Frequently asked questions

Is Volnewmer suitable for everyone?
Not everyone is a candidate. It isn't suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, for anyone with a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, metal implants in the treatment area, an active skin infection, recent dermal filler nearby, or a history of keloid scarring. We take a full medical history at consultation to confirm it's right for you.
Does it hurt?
You'll feel heat, and some areas — particularly over bone, like the jawline — feel warmer than others. Most people find it comfortable. Tell your practitioner at any point if it feels too hot; settings can be adjusted.
How many sessions will I need?
Volnewmer is usually a single treatment. Some people choose a second session for a stronger result, discussed at consultation.
Is there any downtime?
No. You may be slightly pink for an hour or two. You can wear make-up and return to normal activity the same day.
How is it different from Ultraformer MPT?
Radiofrequency heats a broad volume of tissue in the dermis, improving firmness and texture. Focused ultrasound reaches deeper, specific points to lift. They do different jobs, which is why they work well together as Volformer.
