Volnewmer

Volnewmer, described in the clinic's own words

The short answer

Volnewmer is a monopolar radiofrequency device, built by the Korean manufacturer CLASSYS and used at Rewind on skin that has softened with age. The clinic's Korean device record puts the mechanism plainly: radiofrequency energy arrives at the skin, is converted there into thermal energy, and coagulates tissue within it, with delivery adjusted to the condition and the type of skin in front of the doctor. The four results that same record names are firmness, fine lines, pores and skin texture.

Source: Rewind's own device documentation. Anaesthesia, appointment length and the way a count is spread across a face are not published for this device, so none of those figures appear here. They are settled at the examination and written into your plan.

Rewind holds seven lifting and skin systems, and two of them run on monopolar radiofrequency. This is the flexible half of that pair. It is published in three counts, and the smallest of those is small enough to spend on one region, so a plan can be built for a jaw line alone without buying a whole face.

The other monopolar platform here, Thermage FLX, is a different manufacturer's console with its own consumable and a single published face plan. Same class of energy, different machine, separate line on the price sheet. Neither is a version of the other, and which one is proposed follows from what the examination finds.

Aim

What it is aimed at

The four complaints Volnewmer is recorded against

Rewind's device page lists four effects for this system, and the list reads as a boundary as much as a promise. Firmness, fine lines, pores and texture are all qualities of the skin itself. Tissue that has dropped and needs moving is a different problem with a different answer, and this device is not it.

target 01
Skin that has lost tone
Skin that still springs back when you pinch it and let go. Heat works on tissue with elasticity left to recruit, and that is the group this device is aimed at.
target 02
Fine lines
The shallow lines that read as surface rather than as folds. Deeper creases with volume loss sitting behind them are a separate conversation at the consultation.
target 03
Pores
Pores appear by name in the clinic's record for this device. What changes is how firmly the skin around each one holds, so the effect reads gradually across a whole region.
target 04
Skin texture
Roughness and dullness spread over an area. Texture work is usually where the smaller counts are spent, and it is the reason a partial plan exists at all.
Heat

Mechanism

From current to collagen: what one Volnewmer shot does

Radiofrequency is neither light nor sound. It is an alternating current, and the tissue it passes through is what turns it into heat. Almost everything else about the treatment follows from that single fact, including why it is sold by the shot and why the result arrives in two separate halves.

01Energy

Energy in, heat at depth

Radiofrequency energy is delivered into the skin and converted there into thermal energy. A current spreads through a volume of tissue, so the heat is distributed across that volume, and the depth that ends up working depends on the settings the doctor selects.

02Coagulation

The word in the record is coagulate

Rewind's documentation describes the heat as coagulating tissue inside the skin. In practice, protein in the collagen network is denatured at controlled points and the fibres shorten as they change state. That shortening is the part occasionally visible within the same week.

03Rebuild

What the months afterwards add

The slower half is a healing response. Published work on radiofrequency reports new collagen and new elastin forming in treated dermis over the weeks that follow exposure. A result is therefore judged at a follow-up appointment some weeks later, under the same light as the first photographs.

04Dose

A shot is a unit of dose

Counts of 100, 300 and 600 are what Rewind publishes for this device, and a 900-shot plan appears inside the clinic's basic firming package. A larger count treats more skin at the same energy. Concentrating a small count on one spot does not make the effect stronger there, and the figure is set after the skin has been examined.

Why here

Why two radiofrequency consoles sit in one clinic

Buying a second machine in the same energy class only makes sense if the two are put to different work. At Rewind the split runs between one large published face plan and a ladder of counts that can be spent on a single region. Choosing between them is a clinical decision, made with your skin in front of the doctor.

01Selection

The machine is named after the skin is read

Dr. Choi examines the face before any device is proposed. How much laxity is still recoverable, what the skin quality complaint actually is and what you have had done before all feed into which of the seven systems here is suggested, and whether any of them should be.

02Limits

Where heat runs out of usefulness

This kind of energy tightens tissue; it cannot lift and reposition what has already descended. When the examination finds a jowl that has dropped past what heat will hold, you are told so plainly, told what an operation would involve, and left to decide with both on the table. Patients are also turned away when there is active infection or inflamed skin in the path of the handpiece.

03Dose

A small count is a legitimate plan

The 100-shot tier exists so that a limited area can be treated for what a limited area is worth. It is quoted from the same published sheet as the larger plans, with nothing folded into a bundle you cannot take apart afterwards.

The medical director writes the plan, and the appointment itself takes place across floors four and five of the Richro Building in Apgujeong, Gangnam. Device lifting is among the treatments Rewind runs Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 10:00 to 19:00 and on Saturday from 10:00 to 16:00, and every slot is booked in advance. Makeup and an ordinary evening are possible the same day: the clinic's record for its device treatments is that patients go back to normal activity straight after the appointment.

Two things are worth having in writing when you book, because Rewind does not publish either for this device: what will be used for comfort, and how much time to set aside. Ask as well which regions your count is being spent on, and have that written into the plan before the first pulse.

Result

Before & After

Why no Volnewmer photographs appear here yet

Rewind photographs its own patients under a fixed lighting setup, and each treatment gets a published set of its own. None exists for this device yet, so the frames below are empty and stay that way until one does. Brochure images from a device maker show patients Rewind never treated, photographed under a different camera.

When a set is released it will be published the way every other set on this site is: the clinic's own patients, one lighting setup, uncropped frames, and a caption naming every treatment carried out in that case. Individual results may vary, and skin treated with energy can be red, swollen or tender for a few days afterwards. An examination comes before any of it.

Cost

Pricing

Volnewmer cost in Seoul: three counts, one rate each

Rewind publishes a rate against each count, and the desk quotes the same figure. Which count you are offered follows from the examination, and the regions it will be spent on are agreed before anything is paid for.

Volnewmer 100 shotsThe partial plan, built for a single region
₩250,000
Volnewmer 300 shotsThe middle count on the published ladder
₩700,000
Volnewmer 600 shotsThe full count, where a wider area is being covered
₩1,300,000

Listed rates, value-added tax excluded; where anaesthesia is used, its fee already sits inside the listed figure. The firming package that carries a 900-shot plan is quoted separately at consultation, because the rest of what goes into it changes with the skin. Before paying, confirm which count and which regions the figure you were given actually covers.

Fit

Suitability

Who Volnewmer suits, and who is asked to wait

Where this device earns its place

  • Skin that has gone slack but still springs back when you pinch it and let go
  • Texture, shallow lines and open pores showing up together across one region
  • A calendar with no room for recovery, since ordinary activity resumes on the day
  • Holding on to a change made by an earlier treatment, or by an operation some years back

Raised before anything is booked

  • Tissue that has already dropped. This device tightens and does not reposition, and the doctor will say when an operation would be the better use of your money
  • Skin that is very thin, or a face that has lost volume, where firming on its own can read as hollowing
  • A pacemaker or any other implanted electronic device, and metal sitting inside the area to be treated
  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding, plus any active infection or inflamed acne in the path of the handpiece
After

Recovery

The first days after a Volnewmer session

The written instructions Rewind hands out for its device treatments are short, and most of what they ask for lands inside the first forty-eight hours.

On the day
What to skip
Sauna, hard exercise and alcohol are set aside for the rest of the day. Washing is with cool or lukewarm water and a gentle cleanser.
One to two days
Hands off
The treated area is not rubbed, scrubbed or pressed. Bruising and swelling can show, and the clinic's record is that both settle within days.
Every morning
Moisture and shade
Moisturiser and sun protection go on thoroughly while the skin settles. This is the instruction the clinic repeats most often in its own aftercare notes.
Six months on
How long it holds
Six months to over a year is the range Rewind records for its device lifting, and where a face lands inside it depends on the skin and on the plan. Any repeat is booked from a follow-up.

The published literature on radiofrequency tightening records burns and blistering, redness that outlasts the usual few days, changed sensation in treated skin and, uncommonly, thinning of the fat beneath it. Anything already sitting in the area matters here: fillers, threads and earlier energy sessions should all be declared, along with any implanted electronic device, before the plan is written.

Questions

Volnewmer — the questions that come up before booking

Who makes Volnewmer, and what kind of device is it?
It is a monopolar radiofrequency system from the Korean manufacturer CLASSYS, used at Rewind on skin that has lost tone. Energy passes into the skin, is converted there into heat, and coagulates tissue at depth. The clinic's own record names firmness, fine lines, pores and texture as its effects.
How does this differ from the other radiofrequency device held here?
Both are monopolar and both heat the dermis. What differs is the console, the consumable and the shape of the plan: this one is published in counts of 100, 300 and 600, while the other is sold as a single face plan. The doctor chooses between them at the examination.
How many shots should I book?
The count follows the area being covered and is set after your skin has been examined. One hundred shots is built for a single region, three hundred is the middle plan, six hundred covers a wider area. Concentrating a small count on one spot does not make the effect stronger there.
What does a session feel like?
Each pulse is a short build of heat under the handpiece, and how strong it reads depends on the region and on the energy selected. The operator changes settings through the appointment. No comfort protocol is published by Rewind for this device, so agree one at the time of booking.
When does anything become visible?
Part of the change is the contraction of collagen during the session itself. The rest arrives as skin rebuilds over the following weeks and months. A follow-up appointment is where that second half is assessed, under the same light as the first photographs.
How long does the effect hold?
The figure the clinic publishes for its device lifting is six months to over a year. Where a particular face lands inside that range moves with skin condition and with the plan chosen, and any repeat is scheduled at a follow-up on that basis.
Is there downtime?
The clinic's record is that ordinary activity resumes straight after the appointment. Bruising or swelling may appear and settles within days. Sauna, hard exercise and alcohol are left out for the rest of the day, and the area is not rubbed or pressed for one to two days.
Can it be combined with other treatments in the same visit?
Rewind's basic firming package pairs a 900-shot plan with microneedling radiofrequency and injectable skin treatments, and it is quoted at consultation because its contents change with the skin. Whether any combination suits your case is a decision made at the examination.
Will it help a slackening jaw line?
That depends on what is causing it. Skin that has loosened but still recoils responds to heat. Tissue that has descended has to be moved, and heat cannot move it; where the examination finds that, the doctor describes what an operation would involve before you decide anything.
Does it do anything for pores?
Pores are one of the four effects named in the clinic's own record for this device. What changes is how firmly the skin around each pore holds itself, so the improvement reads gradually across a region and shows up most clearly in photographs taken under one light.
What can go wrong?
Burns and blistering sit in the published safety record for this class of energy, together with redness that persists past the usual few days, sensation changes and, uncommonly, thinning of the fat under treated skin. Declare fillers, threads and earlier energy treatments in the area, and any implanted electronic device, before a plan is written.
Who decides the plan, and can the consultation run in English?
Dr. Jonghwan Choi, a board-certified plastic surgeon and the medical director here, reads the skin himself and fixes the count before any session goes ahead. An interpreter can be arranged for the consultation, and the clinic carries KHIDI registration for treating patients from overseas.

Scientific evidence

What the radiofrequency literature has actually measured

These papers examine radiofrequency tightening as a class of treatment, in patients treated at other centres and with the settings each study chose. None of them is a study of Rewind Plastic Surgery or of this particular device, and no individual outcome follows from any of them.
