Onda Lifting: How to Choose the Right Clinic for Your Concerns

Hello.

I’m Director Kang-in Lee of Kind Global Clinic, and I take the time to listen to each and every patient.

I’d like to try Onda lifting,

but I’m not sure which clinic to choose.

Many people look into Onda lifting when they notice a loss of facial firmness or feel as though they’ve gained fat.

Onda is gaining ongoing interest because it can be used not only to improve skin firmness but also to address body contours.

However, when you read reviews, you’ll find that people’s satisfaction with the treatment can vary.

You may be wondering what causes these differences in results and what criteria to use when looking for a dermatology clinic that specializes in Onda lifting.

Today, we’ll take a closer look at Onda lifting to help answer these questions.

By reading to the end, you’ll find some useful criteria to help you decide “which clinic to choose.”^^

1. Why do results vary?

Finding a dermatology clinic that specializes in Onda lifting

Unlike other lifting devices, Onda lifting uses “microwave” energy.

When the energy reaches the fat layer beneath the skin, it causes water molecules to move, generating heat within the tissue.

This heat can help target unwanted fat and refine body contours.

It can also stimulate collagen production, which may improve skin firmness.

There’s one important point that’s easy to overlook.

Even when the concerns seem similar on the surface,

Onda Lifting: What’s Causing Your Concerns?

the underlying causes can differ from person to person.

For example, a thick layer of fat under the chin can make the facial contour look less defined,

while in other cases, there may be little excess fat, but reduced firmness can make the skin appear saggy.

It’s also common for both concerns to occur at the same time.

If everyone receives the same treatment despite having different underlying concerns,

it may be difficult to see the degree of change you were hoping for.

It can also be difficult to judge the results of Onda lifting based only on how you look immediately after treatment.

That’s because collagen continues to form beneath the skin even after the heat energy has been delivered.

As a result, changes may gradually become noticeable over several weeks.

There are limits to judging the treatment’s effectiveness based only on how you look right afterward.

Two important factors that can affect the results are:

1. A treatment plan tailored to the cause of your concerns

2. Monitoring changes after treatment

These two factors can play an important role in the results.

2. What to consider with Onda treatment

Finding a dermatology clinic that specializes in Onda lifting

When planning Onda lifting, it’s important to “adjust how deeply and at what intensity the energy is delivered” based on your concerns.

Onda uses two handpieces: 3 mm and 7 mm.

① 3 mm tip: Targets the dermis

Delivers energy to the dermis to stimulate collagen production

→ Improves skin firmness

② 7 mm tip: Targets the fat layer

Delivers energy to the fat layer beneath the dermis to stimulate fat cells

→ Improves facial and body contours

For example, if sagging skin is your main concern rather than excess fat, treatment can focus on improving firmness using the 3 mm tip.

What if you have both a thick fat layer and sagging?

One approach is to first target the fat layer with the 7 mm tip, then use the 3 mm tip to address skin firmness.

Using more energy than necessary can irritate the skin or lead to excessive fat reduction.

It’s therefore important to adjust the energy appropriately based on skin thickness and the condition of the fat layer.

So, what changes have been observed in clinical research?

In a study by Bonan et al. published in Dermatologic Therapy,

researchers examined changes after Onda treatment in patients with localized fat or skin concerns in the abdomen and thighs.

The 3 mm and 7 mm handpieces were used based on the area of concern and skin condition, and changes in the fat layer under the chin and skin firmness were also assessed.

The study reported reductions in abdominal and thigh circumference, along with improvements in skin laxity and cellulite after treatment.

This study highlights another point worth considering.

With Onda, it’s important to consider not only the treatment plan but also the changes that develop beneath the skin over time.

When looking for a dermatology clinic that specializes in Onda lifting, check whether it:

Carefully assesses your current condition

Tailors the treatment approach to your individual needs

Continues to monitor changes after treatment

Look for a clinic where all of these steps are part of the process.

Finally, Onda lifting may also produce synergistic results when combined with other treatments.

If fat is concentrated in a particular area, you might consider combining it with a fat-dissolving injection,

while Thermage may be combined with Onda if the epidermis is thin and skin firmness has declined overall.

There’s no single right answer when it comes to skin treatments, so consider different options and discuss them with your provider.
