Thermage RF Skin Tightening Machine – Non-Invasive Lifting & Collagen Remodeling

The MICO Aesthetic Thermage RF machine is a non-invasive, monopolar radiofrequency device designed to deliver deep dermal heating for skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, and facial contouring without downtime. Ideal for professional beauty clinics and med spas, it stimulates collagen production and skin renewal from within, providing visible lifting results after just one session.

✅ Key Applications

• Facial skin tightening (jawline, cheeks, eyelids)

• Neck and décolleté firming

• Body contouring (abdomen, arms, thighs)

• Fine lines and wrinkle reduction

• Skin texture and tone improvement

⚙️ Technology Highlights

• Monopolar Radiofrequency (RF): Penetrates deep into the dermis for volumetric heating and collagen remodeling.

• AccuCool™ Cooling System: Protects the epidermis while allowing deeper RF penetration.

• Real-Time Temperature Monitoring: Ensures consistent energy delivery and patient comfort.

• Customizable Tips: Different sizes for face and body treatments.

Thermage vs Volnewmer 

1. Technology & Mechanism

• Thermage: Uses monopolar RF energy to heat the deeper dermis and subcutaneous fat, stimulating collagen contraction and neocollagenesis. Known for its single-pulse, high-heat delivery, it requires no needles or incisions but can be painful due to intense heat.
• Volnewmer: Also employs monopolar RF (6.78MHz) but with continuous pulse output + uninterrupted water cooling, ensuring even energy distribution and reduced discomfort. Its gold-plated probes and curved design enhance skin adhesion for precision.

2. Treatment Depth & Versatility

• Thermage: Targets deep dermis to fat layers, ideal for contouring (jawline, abdomen, thighs) and mild-to-moderate laxity. FDA-approved for face, neck, and body.
• Volnewmer: Penetrates up to 3mm (dermis-focused) and excels in facial lifting, fine lines, and body sagging (arms, cellulite). Offers 4 interchangeable probes for varied areas.

3. Comfort & Downtime

• Thermage: Often described as painful (“hot iron” sensation); may require numbing. Minimal downtime but temporary redness/swelling.
• Volnewmer: Designed for painless treatments with 5 vibration modes + 6 cooling stages. Patients report a “warm massage” feel; zero downtime.

5. Ideal Candidates

• Thermage: Best for thicker skin (e.g., men), body contouring, and those prioritizing long-term results despite discomfort 121.
• Volnewmer: Suits pain-sensitive patients, facial rejuvenation, and clinics seeking a multi-issue device with faster sessions.

6. Cost & Clinic ROI

• Thermage: Higher per-session cost ($2,500+ in Singapore 2), but strong brand recognition attracts clients.
• Volnewmer: More cost-effective for clinics (shorter sessions, less anesthesia needed) and appeals to clients seeking comfort.

Final Recommendation

• Choose Thermage for deep, long-lasting tightening in resistant areas (e.g., abdomen, thighs).
• Opt for Volnewmer for pain-free, customizable treatments targeting facial and mild body concerns with quicker recovery.

For clinics, Volnewmer’s versatility and comfort may boost client retention, while Thermage’s established reputation suits high-end markets.
