XERF vs Volnewmer: Dual Monopolar RF Lifting—Which Is Right for Your Face?

Greetings from Seye clinic, dedicated to the beauty of all.

“What's the difference between XERF and Volnewmer? As someone in my 30s concerned about skin laxity, could these help me?”

This is a frequent question we receive during consultations. With the expanding variety of RF lifting options, understanding the real differences between each device and choosing what fits your concerns is crucial. At Seye clinic, we offer both XERF and various RF lifting solutions—including Thermage FLX—to provide you with a thoroughly personalized treatment plan.

How Do XERF and Volnewmer Work?

XERF is a dual monopolar RF lifting device, using two frequencies (6.78MHz and 2MHz) simultaneously to deliver heat in stages, targeting everything from fine superficial wrinkles to deeper fatty tissues. Loosened collagen networks are tightened by thermal stimulation, resulting in immediate firming post-procedure and gradual collagen renewal over time. The Alma (Cynosure, Lutronic) XERF device features triple cooling and a 10-level energy adjustment system to minimize discomfort and reduce surface irritation. Volnewmer uses a single 6.78MHz RF to evenly heat the dermis, inducing collagen contraction and regeneration. Although it features continuous water cooling, some may experience more discomfort compared to XERF.

Which Device Is More Effective for Which Skin Types?

XERF is particularly recommended for those who want to address multiple skin concerns at once, value improvement in fine lines and texture, or are sensitive to pain. Volnewmer is suitable for those seeking intensive dermal tightening, significant lifting, or who have previous experience with RF lifting.

XERF offers versatile, customized care for different skin layers, while Volnewmer provides targeted dermal tightening.

Duration and Discomfort: An Honest Look

Both treatments have virtually no downtime, allowing patients to return to daily activities immediately after the procedure. XERF features a triple cooling system and precise energy control, setting it apart for its lower discomfort levels. With Volnewmer, despite water cooling, the monopolar RF can feel more intense for some.

Gradual, firmer results can be expected over several months with both procedures. Pricing is provided through personalized consultation.

Q&A with Our Medical Director

Q. Is one session of XERF or Volnewmer enough?

A. Both treatments can induce collagen contraction and visible tightening even after a single session, followed by gradual remodeling over time.

Q. Is there a big difference in pain between the two?

A. XERF’s dual frequencies and advanced cooling system result in generally lower discomfort. Volnewmer may feel stronger compared to traditional monopolar RF, so we recommend a prior consultation for sensitive individuals.

Q. How soon can I wash my face or apply makeup after the procedure?

A. Both XERF and Volnewmer allow for immediate washing and application of sunscreen. There are little to no restrictions on daily activities.

Q. What RF lifting options are available at Seye clinic?

A. In addition to dual RF XERF, we also offer Thermage FLX and Oligio, and provide a thorough analysis based on a patient’s unique skin and aging characteristics.

Why Is Seye clinic Different When It Comes to RF Lifting?

At Seye clinic, we utilize data-driven 3D facial analysis and the EVE LAB diagnostic system, rather than intuition. By precisely analyzing an individual’s bone structure, fat distribution, and ligament anatomy, we tailor the frequency and energy settings of XERF for optimal results. With multiple RF lifting devices in-house, we can fully personalize your plan to your skin type and desired outcome. Our Key Opinion Leader (KOL) physicians are involved directly in consultations, and safety is ensured with hospital-grade monitored sedation systems.

In Conclusion

While both XERF and Volnewmer employ different types of RF tightening, choosing the right device based on your skin condition and main concerns is key. At Seye clinic, we provide optimal solutions through one-on-one data analysis and consultations tailored to you. This has been the chief physician of Seye clinic. Thank you.
