What is it?

Sofwave uses parallel-beam ultrasound (SUPERB) to create thermal coagulation zones in the mid-to-upper dermis (about 1.5mm), stimulating collagen renewal. Volnewmer is a Korean-made monopolar radiofrequency device that heats a broad volume from the dermis down to the subcutaneous fat layer, producing immediate collagen contraction and longer-term regeneration. By combining two different energy sources at two different depths without overlap, the goal is a synergistic result.

Who it's for

  • Mild to moderate skin sagging and loss of firmness
  • Those who also want to improve fine lines and skin texture
  • An alternative combination for patients who find Ulthera-level pain hard to handle

At Datena

Sofwave 100 shots + Volnewmer 300 shots (+LDM)

Before treatment

  • We check for metal implants, pacemakers and pregnancy
  • We check for recent treatments (laser, filler, Botox), skin infections and active acne
  • Remove metal accessories from the treatment area

After treatment

  • Avoid saunas, alcohol and intense exercise on the day of treatment; use thorough sun protection
  • Boost moisturizing; redness usually fades within a few hours
  • Results appear gradually over 2–3 months

Good to know

  • Temporary redness, swelling and warmth (a few hours to a few days)
  • Rarely, bruising, altered sensation, or burns/blisters (rare)
  • Due to the nature of radiofrequency, fat atrophy is unlikely but theoretically possible

Who should avoid this

Volnewmer contraindications apply: pacemakers, ICDs and brain coils are absolute contraindications

"Dual lifting with ultrasound + radiofrequency, two depths in one session, less pain than Ulthera, almost no downtime"
