VoluDerm Treatment

VoluDerm combines two popular skin rejuvenation techniques for cutting-edge dermal technology: microneedling and radiofrequency energy. Using fine micropins to penetrate the skin and activate the underlying dermal layer, radiofrequency energy is delivered deep into the tissues causing the body to start producing new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. Working together, these three substances help to restore the skin's natural beauty, firmness, and vibrancy. The treatment also visibly smooths the skin to improve overall skin tone and correct cosmetic imperfections.

VoluDerm can treat several different skin concerns for patients young and old. Benefits of the treatment can include:

• Fewer wrinkles and fine lines
• Smoother, more even skin tone
• Firmer skin with improved volume
• Reduced acne scarring
• Smaller pore size

VoluDerm for stretch marks is also a common request from patients—and the treatment can help to reduce their appearance. VoluDerm reviews indicate that patients often find they gain renewed confidence and self-esteem once their skin starts looking more youthful and rejuvenated.

Because VoluDerm skin tightening is gentle and non-invasive, it is appropriate for a wide range of patients with many different skin types. Both men and women can benefit from the treatment, and good candidates for VoluDerm are people who are concerned with signs of aging in the face or poor texture and skin irregularities caused by acne scars or large pores. It is also a great option for people with sensitive skin, as the procedure is both gentle and effective. Though VoluDerm can produce impressive, long-lasting results, patients should have realistic expectations for the procedure and understand the limitations of a non-invasive treatment for anti-aging. Patients with moderate to severe facial aging might want to consider a more in-depth treatment or cosmetic surgery to see satisfactory improvement. Taking a look at VoluDerm before and after pictures can help you see what typical results are and can assist you in determining whether or not your expectations for the procedure are realistic.

VoluDerm is performed in the office setting, since it is a non-invasive procedure requiring no anesthesia. Our staff ensures patient comfort before the VoluDerm treatment commences. A handheld device is then used to apply microneedles to the skin, which are so small that patients do not experience any pain from the process. Radiofrequency energy is delivered to the skin through the needles, which stimulates the body's production of skin-rejuvenating substances. Once the area has been treated patients can safely head home or back to other normal activities.

VoluDerm does not require any downtime or special recovery instructions. Patients can resume all normal activities right away, including work, school, and exercise. Though the procedure involves microneedling, there will be no bleeding or bruising following treatment because VoluDerm addresses the deeper layers of skin. Many patients notice that their skin feels tighter and smoother immediately following the treatment, but more extensive rejuvenation will occur during the following months, as the skin produces its own agents and repairs itself. As with other cosmetic skin treatments patients should take care to protect their skin from the sun to preserve the results of the treatment and avoid brown spots.

Because VoluDerm is a gentle treatment patients will see more improvement after several sessions, typically spaced several weeks apart to allow the body to produce collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acids. Optimal results generally require at least three treatments and may require as many as eight. It all depends on your goals and the condition of your skin.

Since radiofrequency energy does not interact with the pigment of the skin VoluDerm is safe for all skin types. Laser treatments often prompt unwanted reactions in darker skin, such as changes in pigmentation, but VoluDerm uses collagen-boosting radiofrequency energy that should not cause any ill effects in skin pigment.

While many patients are solely interested in facial VoluDerm treatments, the procedure is actually quite versatile and safe for other areas of the body. Many patients have benefited from VoluDerm treatments to address skin problems and aging on the hands, neck, upper chest, and other areas. Multiple areas can be treated for comprehensive rejuvenation, if need be.

VoluDerm for scars, wrinkles, and other skin problems works gradually and steadily. Patients will see very little change in the skin immediately following treatment. This is normal and should not be a cause for alarm. Skin quality and tightness will improve over the weeks and months following treatment. The results are long-lasting and improve when multiple treatments are performed over several months.

While many treatments have associated side effects, VoluDerm is so mild that patients rarely even notice the redness and swelling common with other skin treatments. It's a perfect solution for people who want to look younger and get great results but are worried about complications from cosmetic treatments.

VoluDerm addresses many different skin concerns, but some patients might benefit from combining the procedure with other treatments. At Cratos Health we can provide guidance in choosing the procedures that will help you reach your goals.

Each treatment is brief and typically takes no more than an hour to complete. There is no skin preparation required and no aftercare, so patients can leave right after the procedure.

Most patients find the procedure quite painless. The microneedles used in treatment are almost unnoticeable, as they do not affect the top layer of skin. No anesthesia is needed for the treatment.
