Myeongdong Dermatology Clinic: How Can You Manage Stubborn Fat?

Hello.

I’m Lee Kang-in, director of Kind Global Clinic, and I take the time to listen carefully to each and every patient. Let’s take a look at some of the concerns I often hear while treating patients at our Myeongdong dermatology clinic.

With summer approaching, I can’t stop noticing the extra fat on my upper arms.

Even after changing my diet, this area hasn’t changed...

Could body ONDA Lifting

help me see a difference?

There are areas such as the abdomen, arms, flanks, and back

that can be difficult to slim down, even with regular exercise and dietary changes.

If you’re considering liposuction or fat-dissolving injections, you may be concerned about pain, bruising, or swelling.

One treatment that people with these concerns look into at Myeongdong dermatology clinics is “body ONDA Lifting.”

“It doesn’t hurt.”

“People around me asked if I’d lost weight.”

“I was pleased after my first treatment.”

It’s easy to find posts like these sharing positive experiences on forums and online communities.

You may be wondering how painful it really is and what kind of changes you can expect.

Today, we’ll take a closer look at some of the questions you may have about “body ONDA Lifting.”

We’ll explain how it may affect body contours and how long results may last, drawing on relevant research.

Take a little time to read through and find the information you need.

1. How Does Body ONDA Lifting Work?

When you heat food in a microwave, the heat reaches the inside of the food and warms it through.

ONDA is a treatment that applies a similar principle to the skin.

It delivers microwave energy—that is, microwaves—to the fat layer beneath the skin to

1) gently break down fat

2) help surrounding tissues eliminate waste products, and

3) stimulate collagen production.

One point worth noting is that there are few special precautions to follow before or after treatment.

With conventional lifting treatments that use radiofrequency, excessive energy delivery can pose a risk of burns,

but ONDA’s cooling system keeps the skin’s surface cool while microwave energy is delivered.

You may experience the distinctive sensation of coolness and warmth at the same time.

It is known as a relatively gentle treatment with little pain or irritation, and can be performed without numbing cream.

If the skin becomes too warm, the device’s built-in shutoff system activates to lower the temperature.

2. Changes to Body Contours: What Myeongdong Dermatology Clinics Consider

The “Recommendations of the Onda Coolwaves International Advisory Board”

explain that microwaves

affect various factors,

including breaking down and dissolving

collagen fibers,

to improve cellulite.

This mechanism is one reason why skin that looked uneven may appear smoother after treatment.

As collagen fibers dissolve, fibroblasts may be stimulated, leading to the “production of new collagen.”

Collagen is produced gradually rather than all at once, so the contours of the treated area may become more defined over time.

Let’s also look at a study published on PMC (PubMed Central) in 2023.

The study included patients aged 18 and older who had received at least three sessions of localized fat reduction treatment using microwaves,

and reported the results of follow-up for approximately nine months after the final treatment.

Abdominal circumference and abdominal skinfold thickness decreased significantly,

but no significant reductions in weight or BMI were observed.

If there is no weight gain, the localized fat reduction effects of
microwave treatment may last for an extended period.

That is one way to summarize the findings.

In summary, body ONDA Lifting at a Myeongdong dermatology clinic addresses fat reduction as well as

cellulite improvement

skin elasticity

contouring

You can think of it as a treatment that considers all three aspects.

3. How Many Sessions of Body ONDA Lifting Are Needed?

Treatment time: 10–15 minutes, depending on the area

Treatment interval: 3–4 weeks per area

Recommended number of sessions: 3–5 per area

Treatment is generally planned with these guidelines in mind.

However, the abdomen and upper arms tend to have thicker skin and more fat than the face, so some people receive 6–7 sessions.

After one session, results may last for approximately 2–3 months.

These guidelines are based on research, and individual results may vary.

The thickness of the fat layer and skin elasticity differ from person to person,

and results may also vary depending on how the

treatment speed,

energy density,

and treatment depth are set.

That’s why it’s important to discuss your options thoroughly with the medical team at a Myeongdong dermatology clinic and decide on an approach that suits you.

Today, we looked at how body ONDA Lifting works and reviewed some related research.

It may be an option for managing stubborn fat with less concern about pain.

Rather than expecting a major change from just one session,

keep in mind that consistent treatment may lead to more satisfying results.

I hope this article has been helpful to anyone looking into Myeongdong dermatology clinics. I’ll wrap up here.
