Onda Lifting for Cheek Hollowing: Here’s How to Enjoy Full Results Without Pain

Hello, this is Relive Clinic.

Today, I’d like to talk about Onda Lifting, one of the lifting treatments that many people have been looking for recently.

First, when you think of lifting, what comes to mind?

You may probably picture a lifted face after treatment, and at the same time feel concerned about discomfort such as pain and hollowing.

That is because when you search for lifting-related procedures, you can occasionally find reviews mentioning not only the results, but also pain and hollowing.

As a result, even while considering skin care, many people hesitate because they worry, “Won’t it hurt a lot?” or “Will it be okay even for sensitive skin?”

Conventional radiofrequency or ultrasound lifting treatments, which have been widely used, do involve a certain level of pain because the “thermal energy” used during treatment stimulates the skin.

However, with the recent emergence of devices that use different principles, it has become possible to achieve clear anti-aging effects without pain.

Onda Lifting is one such treatment.

In this column, I’d like to explain the principles behind Onda Lifting, known as a fourth-generation lifting treatment, its specific effects, and how to get the full benefits.

I hope this article will be helpful for those considering Onda Lifting, so let’s get started.

Why does Onda Lifting cause almost no pain?

Onda Lifting uses microwaves to deliver uniform thermal energy to the tissue inside the skin.

This induces collagen remodeling and helps strengthen the skin’s fundamental condition.

As a result, when you receive Onda, skin texture and elasticity improve, and immediate lifting and skin-tightening effects appear.

In addition, as collagen regeneration continues over time, the treatment effect becomes even more pronounced.

The biggest advantage of Onda Lifting is that all of these effects can be enjoyed without anesthesia and with almost no pain.

Some people may think that lifting only works if it hurts.

The reason Onda Lifting can minimize pain is precisely because it uses “microwaves.”

Nerves that respond to stimuli in the body and transmit pain signals to the brain are densely distributed in the dermis, which is close to the skin’s surface.

For this reason, conventional radiofrequency and ultrasound lifting devices deliver energy from the skin’s surface into the deeper dermis, so the higher the energy, the stronger the pain tends to be.

However, Onda, which uses microwaves, works by activating the movement of water molecules in the basal layer of the skin to generate energy, so thermal stimulation is hardly transmitted to the skin’s surface.

It’s similar to heating food in a microwave.

That is why even people with sensitive skin or who react strongly to pain can comfortably receive Onda Lifting without anesthesia.

Then if it hurts less, does that mean it is less effective?

The answer is absolutely not.

What are the specific effects of Onda Lifting?

Onda Lifting can be used appropriately for different skin concerns by combining two handpieces that deliver energy at different depths.

3 mm handpiece : Used for areas with little fat, it delivers thermal energy to the dermis to promote collagen production and strengthen the dermal environment.

7 mm handpiece : Used intensively in areas with more fat, such as the double chin, it reduces fat volume and lifts the skin so it can appear tighter.

In other words, the 3 mm handpiece provides the effects you would get from “radiofrequency” care, while the 7 mm handpiece provides the effects you would get from “ultrasound” care.

For this reason, Onda Lifting can be considered an “all-in-one treatment” that addresses most of the various concerns that can arise in the skin.

It is also a treatment that can be used on almost all skin types because it causes so little pain that even people with sensitive skin can receive it comfortably.

Although Onda Lifting is effective for many different people, it is especially recommended for the following cases.

Those who want a treatment with fast results Onda Lifting has almost no downtime, meaning the period between treatment and visible results is very short.

That makes it a treatment that can show results in a short time for people who suddenly have a wedding shoot coming up or an important meeting scheduled on short notice.

*Depending on skin type, there may be slight swelling on the day of treatment.

Office workers who need to go about daily life every day

People who commute to work and meet others every day naturally tend to find skin treatments that leave “treatment marks,” such as bruising or redness, burdensome.

That is why treatments such as Ultherapy or Thermage, while showing clear results, can still feel 부담스러운 because they leave visible treatment marks.

Onda Lifting is free from bruising, redness, and swelling, so even those who need to go to work the very next day can receive it lightly and comfortably.

Busy office workers who do not have much time and find it difficult to visit a dermatology clinic sometimes receive the treatment during their lunch break.

How to enjoy Onda Lifting’s full effects without cheek hollowing

As such, Onda Lifting has the advantage of delivering the effects of various devices through a single treatment, immediately and without the burden of pain.

However, that does not mean you can always enjoy only positive results.

That is because an improperly performed treatment can sometimes cause discomfort such as cheek hollowing.

Problems like cheek hollowing often occur when lifting is not performed according to your bone structure and skin condition.

In the face, the cheekbone is an element that adds volume to the midface and makes the face appear more contoured even without much fat.

Below the cheekbone, there is a hollow area filled entirely with fat.

If the handpiece is incorrectly targeted at this area, the fat volume decreases and a contouring effect appears, which can lead to cheek hollowing.

That is why Onda Lifting should be performed only after clearly designing which areas should be targeted by energy and which areas should not.

In addition, depressed areas require a technique that lifts and raises the sagging tissue to smooth out the facial line.

Because each person’s bone structure, fat volume, skin thickness, and elasticity are different, the treatment plan must take these factors into account in order to prevent unnecessary fat loss and naturally fill in hollow areas while creating a smooth contour.

In short, “personalized treatment” is the key to Onda Lifting results.

Lastly, if you are concerned about excess facial fat, you may have also considered InMode FX treatment.

When InMode FX and Onda Lifting are combined, the area where the submental fat has been removed can be lifted naturally against gravity without sagging, creating a smooth V-line as a synergistic effect.

Another advantage is that it can help minimize the bruising that may occur with InMode FX.

However, because this type of combined treatment is more difficult than a single procedure, it is better to receive it from medical staff with extensive clinical experience and expertise.
