[10kJ (10,000 joules) ₩45,000 Event] Onda Lifting

How does Onda Lifting treatment work?

1. Pre-treatment design and handpiece strategy establishment

Our medical team meticulously assesses each patient's skin elasticity and contour concerns. Based on this, we carefully distribute and use both 3mm and 7mm handpieces. We cautiously avoid areas where volume loss is a concern and focus the treatment on areas requiring elasticity improvement.

2. Sufficient Energy Delivery

Energy can be adjusted for facial areas, ranging from 60,000 to 120,000 Joules. Instead of simply using a large amount of energy, we precisely set the energy level according to the patient's skin condition and desired results.

3. Precise Speed Control

With Onda Lifting, the method of heat transfer within the tissue can vary depending on the handpiece movement speed. Our medical team slows down the speed in areas where heat accumulation is needed and moves faster in sensitive areas to reduce unnecessary overheating and ensure safe treatment.

4. Customized Shot Distribution by Area

Rather than mechanically applying 3mm and 7mm handpieces, we carefully assess the patient's facial volume and fat distribution to allocate shots. For example, the 3mm handpiece is primarily used in areas with less fat, while the usage ratio of the 7mm handpiece is adjusted for areas with thicker fat layers, such as a double chin or lower jaw.

Distinguishing features of Onda Lifting treatment methods

During Onda Lifting treatment, rather than proceeding with a single output of 90W from the start,

We can consider a method where high output of 100-110W is used in the initial stage of the treatment to quickly raise tissue temperature, and then maintained at 90W thereafter.

Characteristics of the Treatment Method

Reduced Time to Reach Thermal Response:

Even if the total energy delivered is the same, starting the treatment with a higher output can cause tissue temperature to rise more quickly.

This can shorten the time it takes for energy to accumulate sufficiently and reach the reactive phase.

As a result, the skin may begin to respond to the treatment sooner.

Reduced Energy Loss in the Core Reaction Zone:

Delivering energy with high output for a short duration can help achieve the target temperature before heat disperses into surrounding tissues.

This is expected to induce an effective response in the dermis and fat layers while minimizing epidermal damage.

Effective Energy Delivery Relative to Treatment Time:

If the treatment is performed with only a single 90W output, it may take relatively longer for the tissue to reach a sufficiently reactive state.

In this case, the total number of Joules delivered may need to increase to elicit a sufficient thermal response.

However, starting the treatment with a higher output allows the necessary thermal energy to be reached in a shorter amount of time,

and then the output can be adjusted to reduce the burden of the treatment.

Changes You Can Experience After Treatment:

Compared to a 90W single-output treatment method:

You can expect to feel the lifting effect somewhat sooner.

You will likely experience your skin feeling firmer immediately after the treatment.

Furthermore, because the output is adjusted before the skin's thermal sensation rises above a certain level,

it can help reduce excessive pain or discomfort that may occur during the treatment.

In conclusion, even when using the same total energy (e.g., 60,000 Joules), the results can vary depending on the output adjustment method.

the results observed after treatment may differ.

This is a factor that can significantly impact the treatment outcome.

Key Characteristics of Onda Lifting

Combined Lifting and Tightening Effects

Onda Lifting is a treatment that uses 2.45GHz microwave technology to deliver heat to the dermis and subcutaneous fat layer. Through this process, it is a device from which you can expect both skin lifting and tightening effects simultaneously.

This device works similarly to a microwave, utilizing the principle of vibrating water molecules within the skin to generate frictional heat. The generated heat is known to contract collagen, promote new collagen production, and affect fat cells, thereby helping with immediate lifting and improving elasticity.

Microwaves have the characteristic of being absorbed by the water layer within the skin, generating heat. Thanks to this, thermal energy can be selectively delivered to the dermis and subcutaneous fat layer without causing excessive stimulation to the epidermis.

Onda Lifting is characterized by its ability to deliver both skin lifting and tightening effects with a single device.

Lifting procedures primarily focus on improving facial contours, while tightening aims to enhance skin texture and elasticity. Onda lifting is designed to address both contouring and skin elasticity improvement simultaneously.

Key Principles of Onda Lifting

Onda lifting uses two types of handpieces.

The 3mm handpiece delivers energy to the dermis and the boundary between the dermis and subcutaneous fat layer.

When thermal energy is delivered to this depth, it can stimulate the production of collagen and elastin fibers. It can also help produce hyaluronic acid and induce the contraction of existing collagen fibers, which can help improve skin elasticity. Through this, you can expect a skin tightening effect.

For edematous fat, inducing water reduction may lead to temporary changes in the facial line.

The 7mm handpiece reaches the deep subcutaneous fat layer, selectively destroys fat cell membranes, and then is used to induce the apoptosis (programmed cell death) of fat cells.

Damaged fat cells are gradually eliminated through the body's lymphatic system. This action can help refine facial contours. Changes usually begin 2-3 weeks after the procedure, and contour changes may be visible after about 4 weeks. Since dead fat cells do not regenerate, long-term contour improvement can be expected.

It can also induce immediate contraction in the retaining ligaments, potentially leading to a lifting effect.

Temperature Control: Collagen in the dermis has the characteristic of contracting at approximately 60-65 degrees Celsius. To deliver sufficient heat targeting this temperature, the speed and method of moving the handpiece are crucial. We utilize techniques that effectively accumulate energy during the procedure.

Principle of Water-Selective Absorption: Microwave energy has the principle of being selectively absorbed by water layers. Thanks to this, it delivers minimal stimulation to nerves or blood vessels, while intensely generating heat in fat cells and the water layer within the dermis. This characteristic helps reduce pain and lower the risk of side effects during the procedure.

Recommended Lifting Treatments to Combine

Here, Onda lifting can be performed alone, but when combined with treatments like Shurink (which targets the fascial layer) or Oligio (tightening using radiofrequency), better synergistic effects can be expected.

Especially when multiple procedures are performed on the same day, the time required for heat accumulation can be shortened. This can help achieve more effective results.

A Message from Our Head Director

At our clinic, Onda lifting procedures are consistently performed, and we have experience with a wide range of cases.

However, lifting designs are individually planned to suit each patient's unique condition.

Even after the procedure, we continuously strive and research for even better lifting results.

Beyond simply operating the equipment, we aim to thoroughly understand the skin's condition and overall characteristics. We believe it's important to meticulously plan natural contour changes within that understanding.

The effectiveness of Onda lifting can vary not only based on the equipment's performance but also on the practitioner's skill and meticulousness.

You can experience treatment with this thoughtful approach.

Onda Lifting: Why the Immediate Effects?

Onda lifting utilizes microwave energy to effectively deliver heat deep into the skin, to depths of 3mm or 7mm.

At this point, when collagen fibers are rapidly heated to a temperature of 65 degrees Celsius or higher, a phenomenon of fiber contraction can occur.

Accordingly, you may feel a lifted sensation or visually perceive some changes immediately after the procedure.

A distinctive feature of Onda lifting is that changes can be felt relatively quickly.

It can help you experience improvements in skin elasticity and lifting relatively early after the procedure. This is considered one of Onda lifting's distinctive characteristics.

It is a procedure worth considering for those who expect relatively quick changes.

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic Onda Lifting

1. Pre-Procedure Design + Handpiece Strategy Planning

At our clinic, we focus on a precise design process before the procedure.

The director personally conducts consultations to comprehensively analyze skin elasticity, fat distribution, facial volume, and lifting direction. Based on this, the treatment areas and methods are meticulously planned.

According to the analysis results, the 3mm handpiece, which focuses on dermal stimulation, and the 7mm handpiece, which targets the fat layer, are adjusted and applied to each specific area.

This is not just a simple procedure, but a strategic lifting approach based on personalized design.

2. Optimal Energy Delivery and Detailed Settings

For the effectiveness of Onda lifting, the total amount of energy delivered during the procedure is a crucial factor.

Here, we can apply customized energy ranging from 60,000 joules to over 120,000 joules for each patient. We secure the necessary treatment time and meticulously plan cooling strategies to prevent excessive heat.

3. Handpiece Speed and Heat Accumulation Control

The core of Onda lifting lies in the effective accumulation of thermal energy.

At our clinic, we move the handpiece slowly during the initial stages of the procedure to accumulate heat. In the later stages, we proceed at a faster speed to focus on reducing the risk of burns. Through this process, we aim for safe yet effective heat delivery during the treatment.

Precise energy control is only possible with the support of the medical team's extensive treatment experience.

4. Customized Handpiece Utilization and Shot Distribution Strategy

If your main concerns are a volumetric face and reduced skin elasticity, it's advisable to apply different shot strategies.

The medical team carefully assesses the face's volume, fat distribution, and skin thickness to adjust the ratio of 3mm and 7mm handpieces used.

For instance, the jawline area with thicker fat layers primarily utilizes the 7mm tip, while treatments around the cheekbones, where hollowing may be a concern, focus on the 3mm tip.

We apply a customized energy distribution strategy that considers individual characteristics, rather than a uniform approach.

5. The Medical Team's Meticulous Design and Continuous Research

We continuously perform Onda Lifting treatments and accumulate relevant experience.

However, the design for each individual is always newly tailored.

Even outside of consultation hours, the medical team anticipates changes in the patient's facial contours and researches and reviews energy settings and handpiece placements to achieve the desired improvement effects.

Although Onda Lifting treatment techniques are relatively well-known, individual results after treatment may vary depending on the medical team's design expertise.

Onda Lifting is not merely a treatment that uses equipment; the medical team's meticulous judgment and technical skill play a crucial role.
