Key Features of Onda Lifting Treatment

1. Customized Design and Handpiece Utilization Before Treatment

Our medical team personally designs the lifting treatment before the procedure. They meticulously analyze areas requiring skin elasticity improvement and contour refinement. Using appropriate 3mm and 7mm handpieces, they avoid areas prone to cheek hollowing and delicately treat areas requiring tightening.

2. Appropriate Energy Application

During facial treatments, energy can be adjusted from 60,000 to 120,000 joules. Rather than simply applying excessive energy, it is precisely set according to the individual's skin condition and desired direction of improvement.

3. Precise Speed Control

With Onda equipment, the movement speed of the handpiece can affect treatment results. Our medical team adjusts the speed, moving slowly in areas requiring heat accumulation and quickly in sensitive areas. This effort aims to achieve desired results without excessive heat damage.

4. Precise Shot Distribution by Area

When using 3mm and 7mm handpieces, shots are precisely distributed considering the patient's facial volume and fat distribution. For example, for individuals with less facial fat, the 3mm handpiece is primarily used, while for those with more fat in areas like the double chin or lower jaw, the 7mm handpiece is given greater emphasis during treatment.

Differentiation of Onda Lifting Treatment

Unlike Onda lifting treatments that proceed only with 90W from the start,

our method involves rapidly increasing skin temperature with a high output of 100-110W in the initial stage of treatment, then maintaining it at 90W.

This careful difference in treatment approach is expected to provide the following benefits:

Reduced time to reach tissue response:

Even when delivering the same total amount of energy, starting with a higher output causes tissue temperature to rise more quickly.

This allows for a quicker achievement of the necessary energy accumulation threshold,

and can help accelerate the point at which the skin shows a response.

Reduced energy loss in the main reaction zone:

By delivering high-output energy for a short duration, the target temperature can be reached before heat disperses into surrounding tissues.

This allows for a central reaction in the dermis and subcutaneous fat layer while minimizing stress on the epidermis.

Efficient treatment time:

A 90W-only treatment method may take longer to reach the reaction zone,

and may require an increased number of joules to achieve a sufficient thermal response.

In contrast, starting with a high output delivers the necessary thermal energy in a relatively shorter time,

and subsequent power adjustment can contribute to maintaining safety.

Perceived difference after treatment:

Compared to a 90W-only treatment method,

you may feel the lifting effect more quickly.

Immediately after the treatment, you may experience a feeling of tighter, firmer skin.

Since the output is adjusted before the heat sensation becomes excessive,

it can help reduce pain or discomfort that may occur during the treatment.

Consequently, even when using the same total energy (e.g., 60,000 joules), depending on the output control method,

differences in treatment results may appear,

and these subtle differences are expected to positively impact the treatment outcome.

Onda Lifting Features

Lifting and Tightening Simultaneously

Onda Lifting utilizes ultra-short microwave (2.45GHz) technology to deliver heat to the dermal and subcutaneous fat layers. This equipment is designed to achieve both lifting and tightening effects simultaneously.

This treatment generates frictional heat using a principle similar to how a microwave oven vibrates water molecules. This aids in collagen contraction and new collagen formation, and also influences fat cell destruction, leading to expectations of an immediate lifting effect.

Microwaves have the property of being selectively absorbed by water molecules in the skin, generating heat. Thanks to this, it is possible to deliver concentrated energy to the dermal and subcutaneous fat layers while providing minimal stimulation to the epidermis.

A key feature of the Onda equipment is its ability to simultaneously achieve both lifting and tightening effects with a single device.

Generally, lifting procedures focus on improving facial contours, while tightening procedures aim to enhance skin texture and elasticity. The Onda device is designed to address both these goals simultaneously.

Key Principles of Onda Lifting

For Onda Lifting procedures, two types of handpieces are used: 3mm and 7mm.

The 3mm handpiece delivers energy to the boundary between the skin's dermis and subcutaneous fat.

When heat is delivered to this depth, it helps stimulate the production of collagen and elastin fibers, induces hyaluronic acid synthesis, and causes the contraction of existing collagen fibers. This can result in immediate skin tightening.

In edematous fatty tissue, water reduction occurs, allowing for visible changes in facial lines immediately after the procedure.

The 7mm handpiece is designed to reach deeper into the subcutaneous fat layer. This handpiece selectively damages fat cell membranes, inducing the process of fat cell apoptosis.

Damaged fat cells are expelled from the body through lymphatic circulation, which can lead to improved facial contours. Typically, changes begin to be noticed after 2-3 weeks, with contour improvement visible after 4 weeks. The desired effect is expected to be achieved around 6 weeks. Since destroyed fat cells do not regenerate, the effects can be long-lasting.

Simultaneously, immediate contraction of the retaining ligaments is induced, allowing you to experience a lifting effect right after the procedure.

Temperature Control: Collagen in the dermal layer is stimulated to contract within a temperature range of approximately 60-65 degrees Celsius. To effectively achieve this temperature, a delicate treatment technique is required, involving slow movement of the handpiece to allow sufficient heat accumulation.

Water-Selective Absorption Principle: Microwaves have the characteristic of selectively delivering energy to water. Thanks to this, heat can be concentrated specifically on the water content in fat cells and the dermal layer, with minimal stimulation to nerves or blood vessels. As a result, procedures can be performed with less pain and a reduced likelihood of side effects.

Lifting Procedures to Consider for Combination Treatment

Onda Lifting can be performed alone, but even better synergistic effects can be expected when combined with procedures like Shurink (targeting the fascial layer) or Oligio (using radiofrequency).

Especially when combining treatments on the same day, thermal energy can be utilized more efficiently, which can lead to higher satisfaction with the treatment results.

Our Lead Doctor's Treatment Philosophy

We perform Onda Lifting procedures for many patients every day.

However, each patient's lifting design is uniquely tailored to their individual characteristics.

As the lead doctor, I continuously ponder how to deliver even more satisfying lifting results even after the procedure is complete.

This is because I believe that true lifting involves more than just operating a device; it requires a deep understanding of the patient's skin texture and overall facial flow, and then planning harmonious contour changes within that context.

The results of Onda Lifting are not solely determined by the equipment's performance, but also by the delicate touch of the medical staff.

You can personally experience the effects of Onda Lifting through our medical team's skilled treatment experience.

Why Onda Lifting Provides Immediate Results

Onda Lifting utilizes microwave energy to selectively focus heat only at depths of 3mm and 7mm within the skin.

When energy is delivered in this way, collagen fibers are rapidly heated to temperatures above approximately 65 degrees Celsius, exhibiting an immediate contraction response.

Consequently, it is possible to observe lifting changes directly from immediately after the procedure.

Unlike traditional radiofrequency lifting methods that require waiting for gradual changes,

One of the key features of Onda Lifting is the ability to immediately experience improved elasticity and a lifting effect.

This procedure may be suitable for those who desire improvement effects in a short timeframe.

Onda Lifting Treatment Guide

1. Pre-Treatment Precision Design and Handpiece Strategy

We emphasize precise design planning before Onda Lifting procedures.

The doctor consults directly with the patient, comprehensively analyzing various factors such as skin elasticity, fat distribution, facial volume, and the direction of desired lifting, to meticulously plan the individual treatment areas.

Based on this analysis, the 3mm handpiece is focused on stimulating the dermal layer, and the 7mm handpiece is focused on targeting the fat layer, applying each appropriately to the respective areas.

We aim for systematic lifting procedures based on design, going beyond simply using a device.

2. Appropriate Energy Application and Detailed Settings

In Onda Lifting procedures, the total amount of energy is a crucial factor.

We prepare to administer treatments with energy levels ranging from 60,000 to over 120,000 joules, tailored to the patient's condition. Furthermore, we meticulously plan to ensure sufficient treatment time and implement cooling strategies to prevent overheating.

3. Handpiece Speed Control and Heat Accumulation Management

The effectiveness of Onda treatment can be said to be determined by the heat accumulation within the skin.

Our medical staff follows a treatment approach where the handpiece is moved slowly during the initial phase to allow sufficient heat accumulation, and then the speed is adjusted in the latter phase to reduce the risk of burns.

Such adjustments are only possible with the accumulation of the practitioner's skilled experience.

4. Customized Handpiece Utilization and Shot Distribution Strategy

Treatment plans should be established differently for individuals with a lot of facial fat and those with only skin elasticity reduction.

At our clinic, we carefully assess patients' facial volume, fat distribution, and skin thickness to adjust the usage ratio of 3mm and 7mm handpieces.

For example, we primarily use the 7mm handpiece for jawlines with abundant fat, and specifically apply the 3mm handpiece to the area below the cheekbones where volume loss is a concern.

We perform treatments not with a simple energy delivery method, but with a personalized distribution strategy.

5. Meticulous Design and Continuous Research by Medical Staff

At our clinic, a significant portion of daily appointments are dedicated to Onda Lifting treatments.

However, the design applied to each patient is always individualized.

Beyond consultation hours, our medical staff meticulously analyzes changes in patients' faces and continuously researches energy settings and handpiece placement methods to enhance improvement effects.

While the Onda Lifting equipment itself can be used by anyone, the results can vary significantly depending on which medical professional devises the treatment plan.

Onda Lifting is more than just using equipment; it's a lifting procedure where the skilled expertise of the medical staff is crucial.
