Comparison Between Volumnema and Densiti for Sagging Treatment

Differences Between Volumnema and Densiti

What is Volumnema?

Volumnema is an RF (radiofrequency) machine, modeled after Thermage.
It works by applying heat from the surface to the subcutaneous fat, creating a tightening effect.

Overview of Densiti

Densiti is also an RF machine, similar to Thermage.
It uses high-frequency energy to heat the surface and subcutaneous layers for tightening.
Densiti incorporates both monopolar technology, which targets deeper layers, and bipolar technology, which applies heat only to the surface.
The bipolar technology aims to improve pores and fine lines by stimulating the surface.

Basic Differences Between Volumnema and Densiti

The main difference is the presence of bipolar technology in Densiti.
Bipolar technology is not commonly seen in other treatments, so it’s unclear how effective it is.
Mechanically, it could be close to needle RF, possibly providing similar effects to devices like Potenza and Silfirm.

Comparison of Effects for Sagging Treatment

Effect and Duration of Volumnema

The tightening effect from heat lasts for about 6 months.

Effect and Duration of Densiti

The tightening effect from heat lasts for about 6 months as well (same as Volumnema).

Pain and Downtime of Treatment

Pain and Downtime of Volumnema

The pain is mild, with warmth felt during treatment.
The area under the chin may feel hot.
There is no downtime, but slight redness, dryness, and swelling may occur.

Pain and Downtime of Densiti

Pain and downtime are the same as Volumnema.

Differences in Machines and Technologies Used

Volumnema Equipment

It has a white machine that looks like a praying mantis.
The claws emit light, and the light color can be changed.

Densiti Equipment

Densiti features a gold, rounded machine with a large screen.
It takes time to start up, so it’s ideal to turn it on in advance.

Role of RF Technology

The primary role of RF technology is tightening.
It is believed to be especially effective for tightening the mid-face area.

Treatment Duration and Frequency

Treatment Time and Frequency for Volumnema

The treatment takes about 30 minutes, and it’s recommended to perform it once every 6 months.

Treatment Time and Frequency for Densiti

The treatment also takes about 30 minutes, and it’s similarly recommended to perform it once every 6 months.

Ideal Treatment Interval

Every 6 months.
