Treatment Overview
Volnewmer is a next-generation HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) lifting device developed in Korea. It delivers ultrasound energy at multiple skin depths (1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, 4.5 mm, and deeper), targeting the dermis and SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) layer to stimulate collagen, tighten skin, and lift sagging tissues. Compared to earlier HIFU devices, Volnewmer is designed to be faster, more comfortable, and more precise.
Ulthera Prime is a premium micro-focused ultrasound system that uses real-time imaging to accurately deliver energy into the dermis and SMAS, ensuring precise and effective lifting.
In Korean dermatology, Volnewmer and Ulthera Prime are often used as either alternatives or complementary treatments. Volnewmer offers versatility and speed, while Ulthera Prime provides unmatched imaging-guided precision. Together, they deliver a layered lifting effect that combines comfort, safety, and long-lasting results.
