The Uniqueness of Onda Lifting Treatment Methods

1. Personalized Design and Handpiece Planning Before Treatment

At our clinic, the director personally diagnoses the patient's face and establishes a lifting plan. Areas requiring skin elasticity improvement or contour refinement are meticulously analyzed, and 3mm and 7mm handpieces are applied separately. Areas prone to hollowing of the cheeks are carefully avoided, while areas where increased elasticity is desired are treated with greater focus.

2. Sufficient and Appropriate Energy Settings

Energy can be adjusted from a maximum of 60,000 joules to 120,000 joules for facial areas. Beyond simply applying a high amount of energy, we meticulously fine-tune and apply the energy to match each patient's individual skin condition and desired results.

3. Expert Control of Treatment Speed

Onda Lifting is a device where heat delivery and effects within the skin can vary depending on the speed at which the handpiece is moved. At our clinic, we adjust the speed by moving slowly over areas where heat accumulation is needed and quickly over sensitive areas. This allows us to focus on achieving the desired effects without excessive overheating of the skin.

4. Precise Shot Distribution by Area

Beyond simply utilizing 3mm and 7mm handpieces, shots are precisely distributed considering the patient's facial volume and fat distribution. For example, for patients with less fat, we primarily use the 3mm tip, while for those with a double chin or excess fat in the lower face, we increase the proportion of the 7mm tip in the treatment plan.

Differentiation of Onda Lifting Treatment

Instead of performing Onda Lifting treatment at our clinic solely at 90W from the start,

we apply a method where we rapidly raise the target temperature with a high output of 100-110W initially, and then maintain it at 90W.

Characteristics of Our Clinic's Treatment Method

Effect of Shortening Time to Skin Reaction Point:

Even when delivering the same total energy, starting with high output causes tissue temperature to rise more quickly.

This shortens the time it takes to reach the zone where sufficient energy accumulates,

and can help accelerate the onset of skin reaction.

Reduced Energy Loss in the Core Reaction Zone:

Using high output for a short duration is advantageous for reaching the required temperature before thermal energy disperses to surrounding tissues.

This allows us to induce a reaction primarily in the dermis and subcutaneous fat layer while minimizing unnecessary irritation to the epidermis.

Increased Efficiency Relative to Shorter Treatment Time:

If treatment is performed only at 90W, it may take more time to reach the target reaction zone.

In this case, there's a possibility that more shots may be required to achieve a sufficient thermal response.

On the other hand, starting with high output delivers the necessary thermal energy in a short time,

and subsequent power adjustment ensures safety.

Expected Changes After Treatment:

▶ Compared to 90W standalone treatment

→ You may experience the lifting effect more quickly,

→ And the feeling of your skin tightening firmly immediately after treatment may be more pronounced.

Furthermore, since we adjust the output before the heat sensation rises above a certain level,

→ This can help minimize pain or discomfort during the procedure.

In conclusion, even when using the same total energy (60,000 joules), the treatment results can vary depending on the output adjustment method,

the treatment results can vary,

and we believe that these differences in treatment methods contribute to enhancing the completeness of the procedure.

Key Features of Onda Lifting

Lifting and Tightening Together

Onda Lifting is a device that utilizes ultra-high frequency microwave (2.45GHz) technology to deliver heat to the dermis and subcutaneous fat layer. This allows for simultaneous skin lifting and elasticity improvement effects.

This treatment operates on a principle similar to a microwave, where water molecules are vibrated to generate frictional heat. It induces collagen contraction and production within the skin, can help reduce fat cells, and is characterized by the feeling of skin tightening after the procedure.

Microwaves have the characteristic of being absorbed by water within the skin to generate heat. Therefore, it can selectively deliver deep thermal energy to the dermis and subcutaneous fat layer without putting a burden on the epidermis.

A notable aspect of Onda is its ability to manage both lifting and elasticity improvement with a single device.

Lifting focuses on improving facial contours, while tightening aims to enhance skin texture and elasticity. Onda Lifting has been designed to address both these objectives simultaneously.

Key Principles of Onda Lifting

Onda Lifting utilizes two handpieces: 3mm and 7mm.

The 3mm handpiece delivers energy to the boundary between the dermal layer and subcutaneous fat.

When heat is delivered to a specific depth like this, it can activate the production of collagen and elastin fibers. It is also known to help stimulate hyaluronic acid production and contribute to immediate skin tightening as existing collagen contracts.

Additionally, in edematous fat, water content decreases, which can lead to visible partial contour changes immediately after the procedure.

The 7mm handpiece targets deeper subcutaneous fat layers, selectively damaging fat cell membranes to induce cell apoptosis.

Damaged fat cells are expelled from the body through lymphatic circulation, which can help improve contour. Changes typically begin around 2-3 weeks post-procedure, with contour changes visible around 4 weeks, and satisfactory results expected around 6 weeks. Since apoptotic fat cells do not regenerate, the effects can be maintained for a relatively long period.

Concurrently, it induces immediate contraction of the retaining ligaments, allowing for a sensation of lifting immediately after the procedure.

Collagen in the dermal layer begins to contract in the range of approximately 60-65 degrees Celsius. To reach this target temperature, the skilled technique of the practitioner, ensuring uniform handpiece movement and sufficient heat delivery, is crucial.

Microwaves have the characteristic of reacting only to water in the body. Thanks to this, they deliver minimal stimulation to nerves and blood vessels, concentrating energy only on fat cells and the water layers within the dermis. This principle allows for less pain during the procedure and reduces the burden of potential side effects, while still achieving effective lifting.

Recommended Combination Treatments

At our clinic, Onda Lifting can be performed as a standalone treatment, but better synergistic effects can be achieved when combined with other treatments such as Shurink, which targets the fascial layer, or Oligio, a radiofrequency tightening device.

Especially when multiple treatments are performed on the same day, the heat accumulation time from each procedure can be efficiently managed, leading to enhanced satisfaction.

Our Medical Team's Treatment Philosophy

At our clinic, we perform multiple Onda Lifting procedures daily.

However, lifting designs are uniquely planned for each individual patient, tailored to their specific characteristics.

Even after the procedure is complete, our medical team continuously contemplates how to provide patients with even more satisfying lifting results.

This is because we believe that true lifting is not merely operating equipment, but deeply understanding the delicate connections and flow of the skin, and based on this, designing natural contour changes.

Onda Lifting, beyond the device itself, can show its difference through the delicate touch of our medical team.

You can experience lifting designed to match your individual condition.

Onda Lifting: Why the Immediate Effects?

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

Through this action, collagen fibers are rapidly heated to over 65 degrees Celsius, which can lead to an immediate contraction response.

Therefore, it is possible to feel a sensation of skin tightening or observe partial changes visually immediately after the procedure.

Unlike other radiofrequency treatments, changes can be felt relatively quickly.

Feeling improved elasticity and a sense of lifting immediately after the procedure is one of Onda Lifting's distinct features.

It may be suitable for those who desire relatively fast treatment results.

Onda Lifting Approach

1. Pre-Procedure Design + Handpiece Strategy Planning

At our clinic, the precise pre-procedure design process is a crucial aspect.

Through individual consultations, our medical team meticulously plans the treatment area by comprehensively analyzing skin elasticity, fat distribution, presence of volume, and lifting direction.

Based on this analysis, the 3mm handpiece, focused on stimulating the dermal layer, and the 7mm handpiece, targeting the fat layer, are appropriately applied to each specific area.

This goes beyond merely using equipment; it is a process where personalized lifting treatments are delivered based on careful design.

2. Sufficient Energy Delivery + Detailed Settings

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

At our clinic, personalized treatments are possible, ranging from 60,000 Joules to over 120,000 Joules of energy. Accordingly, sufficient treatment time is secured, and even cooling strategies to prevent overheating are meticulously planned and executed.

3. Handpiece Speed and Heat Accumulation Control

The core of Onda Lifting lies in achieving results through sufficient heat accumulation.

At our clinic, we maintain a slow speed during the initial stages to ensure sufficient heat accumulation. Subsequently, we switch to a faster speed to reduce the risk of burns during the procedure.

These treatment settings are only possible with a practitioner's extensive and consistent experience.

4. Handpiece Distribution and Personalized Treatment Planning

Treatment plans may vary depending on whether you have a large amount of facial fat or primarily experience a loss of elasticity.

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

For instance, the 7mm handpiece is primarily used for areas like the chin, where the fat layer is relatively thick, while the 3mm handpiece is mainly used for the area below the cheekbones, where hollowing might be a concern.

Beyond simply examining the treatment area, we strive to apply a personalized distribution strategy tailored to each individual's needs.

5. Physician's Treatment Design: In-depth Consideration and Research

We have extensive experience with Onda Lifting treatments.

However, each patient's treatment plan is always individualized.

Our medical team predicts patients' facial changes even outside of consultation hours, continuously researching energy settings and handpiece placement methods to achieve better results.

While Onda Lifting treatment is accessible to many, the expected results can vary depending on which medical professional designs your treatment plan.

Onda Lifting is more than just operating a device; the practitioner's expertise and planning play a crucial role.
