The VoluDermTM (VO) applicator is intended for dermatological procedures requiring
resurfacing of the skin for texture improvement.
- It treats the skin in a fractional manner, leaving areas of untreated skin between
the affected zones, for improving the healing process
- The VO technology uses a disposable sterile micro needle treatment tip, attached
to the distal end of the VO applicator
- The tip is placed on the skin for treatment
- The micro needles ablate the skin using Radio Frequency (RF) energy, inducing
controlled tissue heating
- During the treatment you might feel some pain, vibration, a stinging sensation and
heat
- The TriPollar RF-based applicators are indicated for the non-invasive treatment of
mild-to-moderate facial wrinkles
- The system has a biofeedback control switch. In case of excessive discomfort, you
may press the button to terminate the treatment immediately
I understand that receiving the course of treatment is my choice.
- I was told that post VO treatment, tiny scabs in the form of the electrodes or micro
needle matrix configuration will usually form within 24 hours to 3 days post
treatment and last for a few days
- I was instructed to avoid scratching off the scabs and to apply sunscreen daily
- I was told about the possible side effects of those treatments including: local pain,
excessive skin redness (erythema), excessive swelling (edema), damage to the
natural skin texture (crust, blister, and burn), fragile skin, change of pigmentation
(hyper-pigmentation or hypo-pigmentation), bruising, scarring or transient skin
breakouts such as acne and pimples. Although these effects are rare and expected
to be temporary, any adverse reaction should be reported immediately
- I was told to avoid heat, exposure to sun and UV and to apply high SPF sun screen
several times a day
- I was told that in case of excessive swelling, redness or heat, I may apply a cold
pack (not ice) to the area and contact my treating physician
