Basic Information About Orijo and Volumnema

What is Orijo?

Orijo is a machine that emits RF (radiofrequency), a type of high-frequency energy.
It was created by a Korean company called Wantech, modeled after Thermage.
The effect is achieved by applying heat from the skin's surface to the subcutaneous fat, which leads to a tightening effect.

What is Volumnema?

Volumnema is also an RF-based high-frequency machine.
It was created by another Korean company called Infix, also modeled after Thermage.
The effect is similar to Orijo, producing a tightening effect.

Overview of Similarities and Differences Between the Two

Both are RF devices, and their mechanisms and effects are almost identical.
The main difference lies in the shape of the handpiece heads. Volumnema’s head is round, while Orijo’s head is angular.
The angular part can cause more heat or burns, so the presence or absence of this feature directly affects the level of risk.

Treatment Characteristics

Orijo Treatment Method

The treatment begins with a facial cleansing, followed by the application of gel.
There are two main techniques: "Stamping," where the device is applied one spot at a time, and "Moving," where the handpiece moves while delivering the treatment.
The method is adjusted based on the client's skin condition and pain tolerance.
The treatment ends once the application is completed, and clients can proceed to skincare in the powder room.

Volumnema Treatment Method

The treatment method for Volumnema is the same as Orijo.
After the procedure, clients can immediately proceed with skincare.

Latest Technology in the Treatment

Unlike Thermage, the original RF device, the moving technique allows for a more comfortable experience by reducing heat perception, thus minimizing pain.
Additionally, Volumnema’s round head reduces pain further, making it more comfortable during treatment.

Differences in Medical Equipment

Orijo Equipment

The device is black with a matte finish and has a slight hint of light blue.
It stands around 130 cm tall, and its design has a space-like appearance.

Volumnema Equipment

Visually, the device resembles a praying mantis and has a sleek, modern design.
The claw part has a light, and the light’s color can be changed.
The sound during the treatment is bright, creating a club-like atmosphere.

Differences in RF Technology and Treatment Methods

The technology and treatment methods are nearly identical.
The difference likely comes from the skill of the nurse administering the procedure, rather than the equipment itself.

Effects and Treatment Differences

Orijo's Skin Beautification Effect

Orijo promotes collagen production, resulting in firmer, more radiant skin.
This effect is similar to that of other RF machines, including Volumnema.

Volumnema’s Treatment Effect

Volumnema has a tightening effect on the face, which is also common to other RF machines, including Orijo.

Impact on Collagen Production

The heat reaches the dermis layer, stimulating collagen production.

Pain and Side Effect Comparison

Pain During Orijo Treatment

Due to the angular shape of the handpiece head, the pain might be slightly stronger.
However, the vibration and cooling functions help reduce discomfort, making it similar to other RF machines.

Pain During Volumnema Treatment

Volumnema has a vibration function and cooling feature, and since its head is round, the pain is generally less intense.

Risks of Side Effects and Measures

The main side effect is burns.
If a burn occurs, treatment includes applying steroid cream and moisturizing the area.

Cost and Cost Performance

Orijo Treatment Price
