Euljiro 1(il)-ga Station Dermatology: Does the Number of Joules Matter for Onda Lifting for a Double Chin?

Hello.

I’m Lee Won-jin, director of Kind Global Clinic, and I take the time to listen to each patient’s concerns. As a physician practicing at a dermatology clinic near Euljiro 1(il)-ga Station, today I’d like to talk about concerns about a double chin.

A Closer Look at Double Chins: Why Are They So Concerning? | Euljiro 1(il)-ga Station Dermatology

Can Onda Actually Make a Difference?

If your jawline isn’t well defined, even a small amount of weight gain can make the area under your chin look more prominent.

You may also find yourself constantly noticing the fold under your chin when you lower your head slightly.

Many people looking to address these concerns consider “Onda Lifting.”

You may be wondering whether 60,000 joules are needed for a sufficient treatment, or whether using more joules leads to greater results.

Today, we’ll look at how Onda Lifting works for a double chin, what changes you can expect, and how much energy may be needed.

1. How does Onda Lifting work on a double chin?

The relationship between fat under the chin and skin elasticity

Onda Lifting uses microwave energy to deliver heat to the tissue beneath the skin.

It may be easier to understand if you think of a microwave oven.

Just as heat is generated inside food as well as on its surface when you warm it,

Onda Lifting delivers energy to the fat layer beneath the skin rather than just to the skin’s surface.

Over time, fat cells exposed to heat are processed through the body’s metabolic processes.

The treatment can also promote collagen renewal and remodeling, which may help improve skin elasticity.

Onda Lifting is therefore designed to address not only fat reduction but also both the fat under the chin and skin elasticity.

2. Is 60,000 joules always needed to treat a double chin?

Your individual condition matters more than the number of joules

When looking at reviews of double-chin treatments, you’ll often come across cases where 60,000 joules were used.

As a result, some people assume that “60,000 joules is the standard for a double chin.”

While 60,000 joules may be used on average, the same standard cannot be applied to everyone.

Even if two double chins look alike, the fat may be distributed thinly over a wide area or concentrated thickly in one spot.

Some people have good skin elasticity, while others have sagging skin along with excess fat.

So, should everyone receive 60,000 joules?

No.

Let’s take a look at research on double chins.

A study published in Lasers in Medical Science used microwave energy to treat sagging skin under the chin.

Ten women received two treatments 30 days apart, using an output of 70 W and 35,000 J of energy.

That’s close to half the 60,000 joules commonly mentioned.

Even so, after treatment, the skin under the chin was observed to have improved elasticity and a more defined contour.

The takeaway from this study is clear.

Using more energy does not necessarily lead to better results.

How much fat is present under the chin,

how deep the fat is located,

and how much the skin has sagged

can all affect the amount of energy needed and how it is delivered.

Rather than using 60,000 joules as a fixed benchmark, it is important to determine the amount that is appropriate for your current condition.

3. What accounts for differences in treatment results?

Looking at treatment planning and preparation

Why might results differ even when the same amount of energy is used under the same conditions?

Treatment design and the preheating process may play a role.

The Onda Lifting handpiece needs to be warmed up until it reaches a sufficient temperature,

and it is also important to deliver energy so that it is concentrated in the areas planned in advance.

For example, imagine two people with similar degrees of double-chin fullness who both receive 60,000 joules.

Patient A

→ 60,000 joules are used while the handpiece is moved broadly over the area under the chin without any specific treatment design.

Patient B

→ The areas of concern are mapped out first, the skin is sufficiently preheated, and then 60,000 joules are focused on those areas.

Which patient is more likely to see a more defined jawline?

Patient B is more likely to.

Patient A may also see a change, but it’s possible that the energy did not reach the areas where it was needed sufficiently.

Some of the 60,000 joules used may not have been delivered efficiently.

So, if you received 60,000 joules but didn’t see as much change as you expected,

it’s also worth considering whether the treatment areas were mapped out appropriately and whether enough energy reached the areas that needed it.

To emphasize, what matters in Onda Lifting is

which areas the energy is delivered to,

and how it is delivered.

With Onda Lifting, changes often become more noticeable gradually over time rather than immediately after treatment.

Rather than judging the results after just one treatment, we recommend having your condition assessed at a dermatology clinic near Euljiro 1(il)-ga Station, continuing with regular care, and monitoring changes over time.
