When consulting about Onda Lifting in the examination room, there is a question we hear more often than expected. While concerns vary from person to person, such as the jawline and double chin on the face, and localized areas of concern like the arms, abdomen, and thighs on the body, many people are curious about whether fat and elasticity can be managed together.
Today, we will summarize why Onda Lifting is used not only on the face but also on the body, and how facial Onda and body Onda approach treatment differently.
Double Chin and Jawline: Why Onda Lifting is the Approach
To get straight to the point, it may be helpful. Onda Lifting is a procedure that can be expected to be effective in improving a sagging jawline and a bothersome double chin. This is based on Onda's unique method of using microwave energy. This energy has the characteristic of being selectively delivered to deep fat layers while minimizing damage to the skin surface.
The energy delivered in this way induces the natural death of fat cells while simultaneously promoting collagen production in the dermis. This means it performs two roles: reducing unnecessary fat and replenishing skin elasticity. Therefore, satisfactory results can be expected for the double chin and jawline, where fat and skin sagging act together.
3mm and 7mm Handpieces: What's the Difference?
Another feature of Onda Lifting is that it uses two types of handpieces targeting different depths. The handpiece targeting the shallow dermis intensively stimulates collagen and elastin production, helping with overall tightening, including improving fine wrinkles, reducing pores, and improving skin texture. This method is mainly chosen when lifting the elasticity of thin skin around the eyes or mouth, or the entire face.
On the other hand, the handpiece targeting the deeper subcutaneous fat layer concentrates strong energy on the fat layer to induce fat cell reduction. It can be effectively used when specific areas of fat are a concern, such as the double chin, jowls, arms, thighs, and abdomen. By combining the two methods according to an individual's condition, both fat reduction and elasticity improvement can be targeted, often leading to more satisfactory Onda Lifting results.
Body Onda for Refining Body Lines
Many people ask if fat reduction is possible on the body, and the procedure using a handpiece that targets deep fat layers is the core of Body Onda. This method delivers strong microwave energy to fat cells in large areas with thicker fat layers than the face, such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, and flanks, to induce reduction.
It is known to have a relatively low risk of the yo-yo effect because it induces the death of the cells themselves, rather than just reducing the size of fat cells. In addition, it can help create a smooth and elastic body line by simultaneously promoting collagen production to prevent the skin from sagging in areas where fat has been reduced.
Pain, Duration of Effect, and Frequently Asked Questions
Many people worry about pain during the procedure, but a powerful contact cooling system keeps the skin surface cool throughout the procedure, minimizing heat-related pain. Thanks to this, most people can receive the procedure comfortably without separate anesthesia, and depending on the individual, they often only feel a warm sensation or slight stiffness.
The timing of the effect and its duration may vary depending on individual skin condition, number of procedures, and lifestyle habits. With Facial Onda Lifting, changes begin to appear as collagen gradually regenerates over 2-4 weeks after the procedure, and the most noticeable results can be expected at 2-3 months. Body Onda requires time for fat cells to be destroyed and expelled from the body, so changes in body line are often felt after about 1 month post-procedure. Destroyed fat cells do not regenerate, so the effect tends to last relatively long, but it is important to manage diet and exercise together to prevent remaining fat cells from enlarging again.
Many people are also curious about cellulite improvement. Cellulite is not simply a cluster of fat, but a phenomenon where fibrous septa around fat tissue degenerate, making the skin appear bumpy. Body Onda's microwave energy can also affect these fibrous tissues, leading to expected improvement. Since fat reduction and collagen production occur simultaneously, it plays a positive role in preventing skin sagging or looseness after the procedure and increasing elasticity.
In Summary
Onda Lifting is not a procedure applied only to the face; the key is to approach different areas, from the double chin to the body line, differently according to skin thickness and fat volume. If you are considering Onda Lifting in Suwon, we recommend consulting with a medical professional to determine whether to address the face or body first, and how to combine the handpieces.
