What makes Onda Lifting at our clinic different?

1. Customized treatment design and handpiece strategy

At our medical institution, our medical team directly develops each patient's lifting plan. We carefully analyze areas that need improved skin elasticity and areas that require contouring, precisely applying 3mm and 7mm handpieces. We carefully avoid areas where cheek hollowing is a concern and focus energy delivery on areas needing skin tightening.

2. Appropriate and sufficient energy application

For facial areas, energy can be adjusted and used from a minimum of 60,000 joules to a maximum of 120,000 joules. This is not simply about delivering a lot of energy, but a customized treatment meticulously planned to match each patient's skin condition and desired results.

3. Speed control based on expertise

With the Onda device, the results of the treatment can vary depending on the handpiece's movement speed. Our medical team adjusts the speed, moving slowly in areas where sufficient thermal energy needs to accumulate and quickly in sensitive areas, to achieve effective results without unnecessary overheating.

4. Precise shot distribution for each area

We go beyond simply using 3mm and 7mm handpieces; we meticulously distribute shots considering the patient's skin volume and fat distribution. For example, if there is less fat, we primarily use the 3mm handpiece, but if there is a lot of fat in areas like the double chin or below the jawline, we increase the proportion of 7mm handpiece usage.

Onda Lifting, our clinic's approach that makes a difference

When performing Onda Lifting treatments, instead of consistently treating at 90W from the beginning, at our medical institution,

we apply a method of rapidly raising skin temperature with high output (100-110W) during the initial phase of the treatment, then adjusting and maintaining the output at 90W.

Key differences in our clinic's treatment approach

Reduced time to reach tissue response:

Even if the total energy delivered is the same, using higher output in the early stages of treatment can cause skin tissue temperature to rise more quickly.

This means reaching the necessary energy accumulation zone more swiftly.

Consequently, the point at which skin tissue begins to respond can be accelerated.

Reduced energy loss in the main reaction layer:

Delivering energy with high output for a short period helps reach the desired target temperature before heat excessively diffuses into surrounding areas.

This allows us to induce the desired reaction primarily in the dermis and subcutaneous fat layers, while reducing concerns about epidermal damage.

Expect high efficiency with shorter treatment times:

If treatment were performed only with a fixed output of 90W, it might take more time for the tissue to respond sufficiently.

Therefore, there might be a need to apply more shots to induce an adequate thermal response.

However, starting with high output helps reach the necessary thermal energy in a short amount of time,

and adjusting the output afterward to ensure the safety of the treatment is also an advantage.

Differences you can experience as a patient:

▶ Compared to a single 90W output treatment,

→ You may feel the lifting effect more quickly, and

→ You may experience a feeling of tighter skin contraction immediately after the treatment.

Furthermore, because the output is adjusted before the heat sensation leads to discomfort,

→ The burden of excessive pain or discomfort during the treatment can be reduced.

In conclusion, even when using the same total energy of 60,000 joules, there can be differences in treatment results depending on the output adjustment method,

and our medical institution strives to ensure that these subtle differences lead to excellent results.

Key Benefits of Onda Lifting

Simultaneous realization of lifting and tightening effects

Onda Lifting utilizes 2.45GHz ultra-high frequency microwave technology to deliver energy to the dermal and subcutaneous fat layers. It is a new concept premium lifting device that can simultaneously achieve lifting and tightening effects.

Microwaves operate by vibrating water molecules in the skin to generate frictional heat. This process promotes collagen contraction and production, and also contributes to fat cell reduction, making it possible to expect immediate lifting effects.

Microwaves have the property of being selectively absorbed by water in the skin, generating thermal energy. Thanks to this, energy can be delivered intensively to the dermal and subcutaneous fat layers with relatively less stimulation to the epidermal layer, allowing for effective treatment.

Unlike other lifting devices, the Onda device has the advantage of simultaneously achieving both lifting and tightening effects with a single machine.

온다 장비는 다른 리프팅 장비들과는 다르게, 하나의 기기로 리프팅과 타이트닝 효과를 동시에 구현할 수 있다는 이점을 가집니다.

Lifting primarily focuses on improving facial contours, while tightening emphasizes skin elasticity and texture. Onda treatment is designed to satisfy both these objectives simultaneously.

How Onda Lifting Works

Onda Lifting treatments utilize two handpieces: 3mm and 7mm.

The 3mm handpiece is used to deliver energy to the boundary between the dermis and subcutaneous fat layers.

When thermal energy is delivered to this depth, it can induce the production of collagen and elastin fibers. Additionally, it promotes hyaluronic acid production and contracts existing collagen, leading to a skin tightening effect.

Furthermore, temporary changes in facial lines may be observed due to the reduction of water content in edematous fat.

The 7mm handpiece reaches deeper into the subcutaneous fat layer, selectively damaging fat cell membranes and inducing apoptosis (cell death).

Damaged fat cells are expelled from the body via the lymphatic system, which can help improve facial contours. Changes typically begin around 2-3 weeks post-treatment, with noticeable contour improvements by 4 weeks, and the most satisfying results expected around 6 weeks. Once fat cells are destroyed, they do not regenerate, so the effects can last for a long time.

It induces immediate contraction of the retaining ligaments, contributing to a visible lifting effect right after the treatment.

Temperature control during treatment is crucial. Collagen in the dermis is known to actively contract at approximately 60-65 degrees Celsius. To deliver this temperature deep into the skin, a skilled technique involving slow movement of the handpiece to sufficiently accumulate thermal energy is required.

Onda's microwave energy has the unique characteristic of being selectively absorbed only by water. This allows it to concentrate thermal energy specifically on the water content within fat cells and the dermis, with minimal stimulation to nerves or blood vessels. This principle helps reduce pain and lower the risk of side effects during treatment.

Treatments that can create synergy when combined with Onda Lifting

While Onda Lifting can be performed as a standalone treatment, combining it with Shurink (which targets the fascial layer) or Oligio (radiofrequency-based tightening) treatments can achieve synergistic effects.

Especially when combined treatments are performed on the same day, it can help achieve more satisfactory results by efficiently utilizing the heat accumulation time within the skin.

Our Medical Team's Treatment Philosophy

At our medical facility, we perform multiple Onda Lifting treatments every day.

Nevertheless, the lifting design for each individual patient is uniquely tailored.

As medical professionals, we continuously research and deliberate on the most suitable lifting methods for each patient, even after the treatment is completed.

This is because we believe it's important to go beyond simply operating equipment; it involves deeply understanding the skin's characteristics and the natural contours of the face, then planning harmonious contour changes accordingly.

With Onda Lifting, the practitioner's delicate technique plays as crucial a role as the equipment itself.

You can receive a consultation for this treatment at our medical facility.

Onda Lifting: What principle allows for quick results?

Onda Lifting utilizes microwave energy to intensively deliver heat to depths of 3mm and 7mm in the skin.

During this process, when collagen fibers are rapidly heated to a temperature of approximately 65 degrees Celsius or higher, a contraction response can be induced.

In some cases, changes in the lifting effect are visually noticeable immediately after the treatment.

Unlike some other radiofrequency lifting methods that require waiting for gradual changes,

One of Onda Lifting's characteristics is that many individuals experience immediate improvement in elasticity and lifting effects right after the treatment.

It is a treatment method that can be considered by those who prefer relatively quick results.

Onda Lifting Treatment Process

1. Customized Design and Handpiece Strategy Planning Before Treatment

A precise design process before treatment is an important step.

Our medical team directly consults with patients to comprehensively analyze their skin elasticity, fat distribution, facial volume, and the necessary lifting directions. Based on this analysis, the treatment areas and plan are established.

According to the analysis results, the 3mm handpiece (primarily targeting dermal stimulation) and the 7mm handpiece (primarily targeting the fat layer) are adjusted and used for each specific treatment area.

This can be described as a lifting treatment that goes beyond simply using a device, by being based on a patient-specific customized design.

2. Sufficient Energy Delivery and Precise Settings

In Onda Lifting treatments, the total energy delivered plays a crucial role.

Our medical team sets the appropriate total energy for each patient and meticulously plans the treatment time and cooling strategy to prevent overheating accordingly.

3. Handpiece Speed Control and Heat Accumulation Management

In Onda treatment, the appropriate accumulation of thermal energy is a key factor in inducing lifting effects.

In the initial stage of the treatment, our medical team maintains a slow speed to accumulate heat and deliver energy. Subsequently, the handpiece is moved at a faster speed to reduce the possibility of burns to the skin.

Such fine adjustments are possible when supported by the practitioner's ample experience.

4. Customized Strategy for Handpiece Utilization and Shot Distribution

Individuals with ample volume and those whose primary concern is reduced skin elasticity require different treatment approaches.

We adjust the usage ratio of 3mm and 7mm handpieces, considering facial volume, fat distribution, and skin thickness.

For example, we primarily use the 7mm handpiece for areas with a thick fat layer, such as the jawline, and the 3mm handpiece for areas below the cheekbones where volume loss is a concern.

Rather than a simple procedure, we proceed by applying a personalized distribution strategy for each individual.

5. Medical Team's Custom Design, Continuous Research and Analysis

At our medical institution, we perform Onda Lifting procedures multiple times daily, accumulating extensive treatment experience.

However, we always approach each patient's facial design differently.

Even outside consultation hours, the medical team meticulously reviews changes in patients' faces and continuously researches appropriate energy settings and handpiece placement strategies.

Onda Lifting results may vary depending on the practitioner's design capabilities.

Onda Lifting is more than just a machine-based procedure; it is a process completed with the skilled techniques of the medical team.
