What is ONDA Lifting?

• ONDA Lifting uses microwave (2.45GHz) Coolwaves™ to deliver energy deep into the dermal and subcutaneous fat layers, rather than just the surface skin.
• Two hand-piece depths:
• ~3 mm for thinner skin (surface/dermal tightening)
• ~7 mm for fat cell disruption and deeper tissue contouring
• The technology aims to:
• Improve skin laxity (sagging)
• Reduce localized fat deposits & cellulite
• Improve skin texture and contour (face, jawline, body)
• Procedure time is relatively short and downtime is minimal.

🎯 Who is it suitable for?

• Individuals with mild to moderate skin sagging (face or body) who prefer non-surgical options.
• People who have localized fat deposits resistant to diet/exercise (for example: arms, abdomen, thighs) and want skin tightening + contouring.
• Those looking for quick sessions with minimal downtime and fewer visible signs of treatment.
• Not suitable for major surgical lifting needs (severe sagging) — more suited for refinement rather than large‐scale facelifts.

🗓 What to expect (consultation → follow-up)

• Consultation: Dermatologist/doctor assesses skin condition, fat deposits, treatment goals, and whether ONDA is a good fit.
• Session:
• Preparation: area cleaned, conductive/cooling gel applied.
• Treatment: ONDA hand-piece applied to target area; you may feel warming/tingling but generally comfortable. Reberry
• Duration: Typically 30-60 minutes (varies by area size).
• Aftercare & Results:
• Immediate return to daily activities; minimal downtime.
• Some visible tightening might appear soon, full effect improves over weeks to months as collagen remodels and fat is eliminated via lymphatic system.
• Multiple sessions recommended (commonly 3–5) for best results, spaced 2–4 weeks apart.

💰 Approximate Cost & Tips

• Cost varies widely depending on clinic, area treated (face vs body), number of sessions. For example, Myeongdong-area clinics list: face 1 session ~ ₩590,000 (with discount) and body 1 area ~ ₩690,000 for foreigners.
• Some sources say Korean clinics may list per session from USD ~$100-300 for smaller areas, but check carefully.
• Tips:
• Ask whether the machine is the genuine ONDA system (Coolwaves™), and whether the clinic uses the correct hand-pieces (3 mm / 7 mm) for your area.
• Confirm the number of sessions recommended and get a cost breakdown for face vs body.
• Check language support, post-care follow-up, and whether before-&-after photos are genuine for similar skin types/areas.
• Since you’re interested in lifting treatments, compare ONDA vs other options at the clinic (like RF lifting, HIFU, thread lift) so you can pick the best modality for your skin condition.

⚠️ Things to watch / ask

• Is your skin condition suitable? ONDA works best for moderate laxity/fat, not extremely sagged skin which may need surgery.
• Are there any contraindications? For example, if you have metal implants in the area, pacemaker, etc — some sources caution using microwaves near metal or electronic implants.
• What results are realistic for you vs marketing hype.
• Aftercare guidelines: For example avoid heavy heat/sauna or intense workouts for 24-48 hours (some clinics recommend this) to maximize effect.
• Maintenance: Ask how long the effect lasts and whether maintenance sessions are required (they usually are).
