Body ONDA: Why Is Stubborn Fat on the Arms and Thighs So Hard to Lose?

Hello.

I’m Lee Won-jin, director of Kind Global Clinic, and I take the time to listen carefully to each patient.

I feel like I’ve lost more weight than before,

but my arms and thighs don’t seem to have changed...

Is there any option besides liposuction?ㅠㅠ

Even after losing weight and looking thinner in the face, stubborn fat on the arms or thighs may not go away easily.

It can be frustrating and upsetting when weight gain shows quickly, but losing weight takes so long to make a difference.

This may be why you’re looking into ways to refine your arm contours with Body ONDA.

Many people have similar concerns and are curious about the changes they might see after treatment.

Today, we’ll go over some relevant information to help answer those questions.

1. Why stubborn fat on the arms and thighs can be hard to lose

2. How Body ONDA works

3. How many lines of Body ONDA are needed for the arms and thighs

4. How to enhance the results

We’ll cover these four topics in order. We hope this information is helpful as you consider ways to address areas of stubborn fat that have been bothering you for a long time^^

1. Why stubborn fat on the arms and thighs can be hard to lose

The thighs are prone to fat accumulation due to the effects of female hormones.

Sitting for long periods can impair blood and lymphatic circulation, which may contribute to swelling.

When fluid or waste products build up, the area may look larger than it really is or feel firm to the touch.

It’s also worth noting that cellulite often accompanies the fat, rather than the area consisting of fat alone.

When fat cells and fibrous tissue become entangled, the skin’s surface may look uneven and dimpled.

Even with frequent movement, fat can remain on the upper arms, and the skin may also lose elasticity along with the fat.

The skin on the inner arm is relatively thin, so even a small increase in fat can make sagging more noticeable.

For this reason, losing weight alone may not be enough to shape the arms and thighs as desired.

2. How Body ONDA works

Let’s take a look at how Body ONDA is used to treat the arms and thighs.

ONDA is a device that uses 2.45 GHz microwave energy to deliver heat to the fat layer.

Rather than stimulating only the skin’s surface, it can be understood as delivering energy deep into the fat layer to help break down fat.

As mentioned earlier, when cellulite is present on the arms or thighs, the fat and fibrous tissue may be tightly intertwined.

ONDA’s thermal energy acts on this tissue and may help create smoother contours.

It may also affect collagen regeneration in the dermis, so it is sometimes used to help improve skin elasticity.

Therefore, rather than focusing on weight loss, it can be considered a treatment focused on improving uneven skin texture or contours that look saggy.

3. How many lines of Body ONDA are needed for the arms and thighs

When looking up information about ONDA treatments, you’ll often come across the question, “How many tens of thousands of lines do I need?”

The number of lines refers to the total amount of energy delivered to the skin, similar to the number of shots used in Ultherapy or Thermage.

Typically, around 20,000–40,000 lines may be used for the upper arms, and 60,000–100,000 or more for the thighs, depending on the treatment area.

However, simply increasing the number of lines does not necessarily lead to faster contour changes.

It’s important to plan the energy based on the thickness of the fat layer and the current state of skin elasticity.

For example, if the cellulite on the thighs is dense and the skin has lost elasticity,

one approach may be to distribute energy evenly across a wide area and repeatedly stimulate the tissue.

On the other hand, if fat has accumulated thickly in one part of the thighs, “considering other treatments in combination” may help improve satisfaction.

Next, we’ll explain how to enhance results—something people looking into Body ONDA at City Hall Station Dermatology are also curious about.

4. How can you enhance the results?

If stubborn fat is prominent in specific areas, such as the inner thighs or the back of the upper arms, it may be difficult to see rapid changes with ONDA alone.

ONDA delivers heat across a broad area by moving the applicator over the skin, which limits how much it can focus on a single spot.

In these cases, combining it with InMode or fat-dissolving injections may help achieve results you’re more satisfied with.

InMode delivers energy while suctioning the skin and fat layer,

allowing it to target specific areas more precisely than ONDA.

Adding fat-dissolving injections to address stubborn localized fat can also help refine your contours.

In summary,

InMode/fat-dissolving injections → Targeted treatment for specific areas

ONDA → Treatment for overall contours, cellulite, and skin texture

Taking an approach that assigns each treatment a distinct role may help enhance the results.

That wraps up our overview of how Body ONDA works and what you may expect from it, for those considering the treatment.

It may be an option for people who want to refine their body contours rather than lose weight.

Combining it with additional treatments suited to your current fat layer and skin condition may help you see changes.
