Hello.

We are Timeless Mapo Main Clinic,

creating healthy beauty together.

“I’m afraid it will hurt a lot.”

“I’m worried that bruising or swelling

might interfere with my daily life.”

When speaking with many people in the consultation room,

I find that many hesitate to undergo treatment because of pain or the recovery period.

From the moment they apply numbing cream and lie down, their hearts start racing,

and thinking about the stinging pain they may feel throughout the treatment… it certainly takes a lot of courage to get started. Haha.

That is why we explain Onda lifting as an alternative to people who hesitate because of these concerns.

Today, I’ll explain the operating principles and effects of Onda lifting, along with treatment combinations that may work synergistically, in an easy-to-understand way.

Please stay focused for just three minutes :)

1. How does Onda lifting work?

When you think of lifting devices, you probably think of ultrasound devices such as Ultherapy or radiofrequency devices such as Thermage, right?

Onda uses a slightly different method called “microwaves.”

To put it simply, you can think of it as being similar to the principle behind the microwave oven we use every day.​

Just as a microwave oven vibrates water molecules in food to warm it from the inside,

Onda also vibrates water molecules within the skin, generating heat gradually from the inside.

Rather than directly applying strong stimulation to the skin’s surface, it transfers heat from within,

while powerful cooling is also activated within the device itself. ^^

This helps substantially reduce the burden of heat and pain felt during treatment.

The heat delivered into the skin performs two useful functions.

• Organizing excess fat layers (refining facial contours)

• Stimulating collagen production (improving firmness)

※ Of course, skin thickness and sensitivity to pain vary from person to person, so the level of stimulation felt may differ to some extent!

2. Personalized treatment using two tips (3 mm / 7 mm)

One of the major advantages of Onda lifting is

that it uses two handpieces—3 mm and 7 mm—to provide precise treatment according to skin depth.

① 3 mm tip (targeting the dermal layer)

It delivers energy to a relatively shallow layer to promote collagen regeneration and improve skin firmness and texture.

② 7 mm tip (targeting the fat layer)

It penetrates into the deeper fat layer, stimulating excess fat cells and helping refine volume.

For example, if you have little cheek fat and thin skin, treatment can focus on the 3 mm tip to enhance firmness,

whereas if you have thicker skin and a small amount of fat along your facial contours, the 7 mm tip can be used to refine the lines.

Ultimately, the key to Onda treatment

lies in how carefully these two handpieces are allocated and designed according to each patient’s facial condition.

3. Can it be combined with other treatments?

Yes, of course. ^^

Onda can provide a high level of satisfaction on its own,

but its synergy may be enhanced further when combined with other treatments suited to your skin condition and concerns.

Onda + Thermage combination

For people with thin skin and an overall loss of firmness, Thermage can be a very good option.

However, Thermage alone may feel slightly insufficient for refining specific areas such as around the mouth, nasolabial folds, or a double chin.

In this case, Thermage can be used to strengthen overall skin firmness,

while Onda smoothly refines areas where the contours need additional improvement, producing a highly polished result.

Onda + Ultherapy combination

Ultherapy is a representative treatment that lifts the deep muscular fascia layer (SMAS),

but if the face has a relatively large amount of fat or feels heavy, Ultherapy alone may have limitations in reducing volume.

In this case, the fat layer can first be refined with Onda (7 mm),

followed by lifting the deep muscular fascia layer with Ultherapy, which can create a lighter, slimmer contour. ^^

We’ve now looked at the principles and effects of Onda lifting. Was this helpful? ^^

For those undergoing a lifting treatment for the first time,

or those who have had a difficult experience with pain in the past, Onda can be a welcome alternative.

However, no matter how gentle the stimulation or how excellent the device,

the details of the outcome can vary significantly depending on who performs the treatment and how carefully it is tailored to your face.

This is precisely why our Timeless Mapo Main Clinic insists on “direct 1:1 consultations with medical staff” for every patient.

You do not have to choose our clinic.

However, if you are considering a lifting treatment,

we recommend that you have a thorough consultation with a board-certified dermatologist before treatment and choose the procedure that is right for you. ^^
