Rejuvenating Effects of Combining Volnewma and Hyaluronic Acid

Basic Knowledge of Volnewma and Hyaluronic Acid

Volnewma is an RF (radio frequency) device that applies heat to the skin.
This tightens the skin and underlying tissues, improving sagging.
Hyaluronic acid is a gel-like substance that blends well with the skin and is injected to restore volume.
By filling depressions and uneven areas, it helps address volume loss.

Differences in Effects on Rejuvenation

Aging-related changes can be broadly classified into three categories: sagging, volume loss, and changes in skin quality.
Volnewma is effective for treating sagging and offers some improvement in skin quality (particularly by increasing collagen for firmer skin).
Hyaluronic acid is effective for addressing volume loss and improving skin quality (especially by increasing hyaluronic acid for more hydrated skin).

Reasons for Combination and Its Benefits

Balanced anti-aging treatment can be achieved.
It effectively addresses sagging, volume loss, and skin quality changes while replenishing substances that decrease with aging in a balanced manner.
Unbalanced anti-aging treatments can result in an unnatural appearance.
Achieve rejuvenation in a well-balanced way.

Treatment Process and Suitable Aesthetic Procedures

Importance of Consultation

Time and budget for anti-aging treatments are often limited.
An ideal approach is to determine priorities during consultation and visualize the expected results of each treatment.

Treatment Methods and Intervals

When undergoing both Volnewma and hyaluronic acid treatments, it is recommended to start with Volnewma.
First, Volnewma tightens the skin, making shadows and depressions more visible, which can then be smoothed out with hyaluronic acid injections.
Adding hyaluronic acid to areas where collagen has been produced creates firmness and elasticity, further rejuvenating the skin.

Post-Treatment Care and Precautions

You may experience swelling or discomfort for a while.
Observe the condition for about two weeks until it stabilizes.

Optimal Treatment Order

Is Hyaluronic Acid Better Before or After Volnewma?

While it depends on priority, it is generally better to apply hyaluronic acid after Volnewma.

Things to Know Before Treatment

Volnewma has a tightening effect but does not offer the same level of firming or sagging improvement as liposuction or surgical procedures.
While Volnewma can increase collagen and hyaluronic acid injections can increase hydration, deep wrinkles will not disappear immediately.
Understanding the limitations of the effects is important.

Learning from Patients’ Experiences: The Best Treatment Order

Based on personal experience, the best approach is to undergo the treatment you desire when you want it.
Although it's important to consider the long-term effects in five or ten years, prioritizing treatments for the areas that currently concern you most leads to higher satisfaction.

Lift-Up Effects of Combining Volnewma and Hyaluronic Acid

Mechanism of Lift-Up

Applying heat to the skin with Volnewma slightly shrinks the tissue.
When the deeper layers of the skin tighten, a lifting effect is achieved.

Volume Enhancement from Combination Treatment

By supplementing depressions with hyaluronic acid, volume is restored.
Pre-tightening with Volnewma reduces the depth of nasolabial folds and marionette lines, decreasing the required amount of hyaluronic acid.

Pain and Heat Sensation During Treatment

Degree of Pain During Treatment

Volnewma feels hot. Please endure it as best you can.
Hyaluronic acid injections cause a slight prickling sensation.

Effects of Heat and Countermeasures

Over-enduring the heat may result in burns.
If burns occur, cool the area and apply a steroid cream.

Swelling and Downtime After Treatment

Swelling may persist for several hours after Volnewma treatment.
Hyaluronic acid injections may cause swelling or bruising, so allow about two weeks for full recovery.

RF Effects of Volnewma and Its Relationship with Hyaluronic Acid

Mechanism of RF (Radio Frequency) Action

High-frequency currents flow from the handheld device applied to the skin to the grounding pad placed on the back.
As a result, heat is generated at a depth of several centimeters from the handheld device.
The heating of the skin and subcutaneous fat layer leads to tissue tightening.

Stimulation of the Dermis and Collagen Production

The dermis lies beneath the skin and above the subcutaneous fat.
When heat stimulates the dermis, collagen production increases.
As collagen forms, the skin gains firmness and elasticity.

Improvement of Skin Flexibility

As described above, collagen production increases firmness and elasticity.
Adding hyaluronic acid boosts skin hydration.
The synergistic effect of collagen and hyaluronic acid brings the skin closer to a youthful, dewy appearance.
