Main Features of Onda Lifting Treatment

1. Customized Design and Handpiece Utilization Before Treatment

The medical staff personally conducts the lifting design before the procedure. They meticulously analyze areas requiring improved skin elasticity and areas needing contouring. By appropriately using 3mm and 7mm handpieces, they avoid areas prone to volume loss and delicately treat areas requiring tightening.

2. Appropriate Energy Application

For facial treatments, energy can be adjusted from 60,000 to 120,000 Joules. Rather than simply applying a high amount, the energy is delicately set to match the individual's skin condition and desired direction of improvement.

3. Delicate Speed Control

With the Onda device, the movement speed of the handpiece can affect treatment results. The medical staff adjusts the speed: slowly for areas requiring heat accumulation, and quickly for sensitive areas. This helps achieve desired results without excessive heat damage.

4. Precise Shot Distribution per Area

When utilizing 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 the double chin or lower jaw area, the 7mm handpiece is used more extensively during treatment.

Distinguishing Features of Onda Lifting Treatment

Unlike Onda Lifting treatments that are performed solely at 90W from start to finish,

we apply a method that rapidly raises skin temperature with a high output of 100-110W during the initial phase of the treatment, then proceeds by maintaining it at 90W.

These subtle differences in treatment methods are expected to provide the following benefits:

Reduced Time to Reach Tissue Response:

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

This allows for faster attainment of the necessary energy accumulation range, and

can help advance the point at which the skin shows a response.

Reduced Energy Loss in Key Response Zones:

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

This can reduce the burden on the epidermis while still allowing for a focused response in the dermis and subcutaneous fat layers.

Efficient Treatment Time:

The 90W-only treatment method may require more time to reach the reaction zone, and

may necessitate increasing the number of joules delivered to achieve a sufficient thermal response.

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

can contribute to maintaining safety through subsequent output adjustments.

Perceptible Differences After Treatment:

Compared to the 90W-only treatment method,

you may experience the lifting effect more quickly.

You may feel your skin tighten more firmly immediately after the treatment.

Because the output is adjusted before the heat sensation becomes excessively high,

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), the treatment outcome can vary depending on the output control method,

and differences in treatment results may appear.

These subtle differences are expected to positively impact treatment outcomes.

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 device is designed to provide simultaneous lifting and tightening effects.

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 production, and also affects fat cell destruction, leading to immediate lifting effects.

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

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

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

Onda Lifting procedures use two types of handpieces: 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 generate collagen and elastin fibers, induces hyaluronic acid production, and causes the contraction of existing collagen fibers. This allows immediate skin tightening to be felt.

In edematous fat tissue, water reduction occurs, allowing changes in facial lines to be observed 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 felt after 2-3 weeks, and contour improvement can be observed after 4 weeks. The desired effect is expected to be reached around 6 weeks. Destroyed fat cells do not regenerate, so the effect can be maintained for a long time.

Simultaneously, the retaining ligaments also undergo immediate contraction, allowing lifting effects to be experienced immediately after the procedure.

Temperature Control: Collagen in the dermis contracts 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 only on the water content of fat cells and the dermis, with minimal stimulation to nerves or blood vessels. As a result, the procedure can be performed with less pain and a reduced risk of side effects.

Lifting Procedures to Consider in Combination

Onda Lifting can be performed alone, but even better synergistic effects can be expected when combined with procedures like Shurink, which targets the fascial layer, or Oligio, which uses radiofrequency.

Especially when parallel treatments are received on the same day, thermal energy can be utilized more efficiently, leading to higher satisfaction with the treatment results.

Chief 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 chief doctor, I constantly ponder how to deliver even more satisfying lifting results even after the procedure is complete.

This is because I believe the true lifting process goes beyond simply operating a device; it involves deeply understanding the patient's skin texture and overall facial flow, and planning harmonious contour changes within that context.

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

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

Reasons for the Immediate Effects of Onda Lifting

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

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

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

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

One of the key features of Onda Lifting is the ability to experience immediate improvements in elasticity and lifting effects.

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

Onda Lifting Procedure Guide

1. Pre-Procedure Precision Design and Handpiece Strategy

We place great importance on precise design planning before Onda Lifting procedures.

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

Based on this analysis, the 3mm handpiece is focused on dermal stimulation, and the 7mm handpiece on targeting the fat layer, applying them appropriately to each area.

We aim for systematic lifting procedures based on design, rather than simply using the device.

2. Appropriate Energy Application and Detailed Settings

The total amount of energy is a crucial factor in Onda Lifting procedures.

We prepare to perform the procedure with 60,000 to over 120,000 joules of energy, customized to the patient's condition. Additionally, we meticulously plan to ensure sufficient treatment time and implement a cooling strategy to prevent overheating.

3. Handpiece Speed Control and Heat Accumulation Management

The effectiveness of the Onda procedure can be attributed to heat accumulation within the skin.

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

Such adjustments are only possible with the accumulated expertise of the practitioner.

4. Customized Handpiece Utilization and Shot Distribution Strategy

Treatment plans should be formulated differently for individuals with a high amount of facial fat versus those with only decreased skin elasticity.

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

For instance, the 7mm handpiece is primarily used for the jawline where there is a lot of fat, while the 3mm handpiece is concentrated on the area below the cheekbones where volume loss is a concern.

Treatments are performed not with a simple energy delivery method, but with a personalized distribution strategy.

5. Meticulous Design and Continuous Research by Medical Staff

A significant portion of our daily appointments at our clinic involves Onda Lifting treatments.

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

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

While the Onda Lifting device 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 technique of the medical staff is crucial.
