If It’s the Same ONDA Lifting, Why Do the Results Differ? <feat. ONDA MAX, Detoxi Cream> image 1

Hello.

I’m Choi Won-woo, a dermatologist with 23 years of experience.

“ I had ONDA lifting done somewhere else,

but the results were more underwhelming than I expected.”

We often see people visit our WELLS Dermatology Clinic saying this.

It’s clearly the same ONDA device, so why do the results feel different from one clinic or procedure to another?

If it isn’t a difference in the device’s performance, what determines the outcome?

Today, I’ll answer that question and explain how we approach ONDA lifting.

What is the principle behind ONDA? ONDA is a lifting device that uses microwave energy.

Conventional radiofrequency (RF) or ultrasound (HIFU) devices lose a significant amount of energy as it passes through the skin surface.

So, to deliver enough energy to the desired depth, strong output is needed, and that can lead to pain and side effects.

ONDA’s microwave energy is different.

It penetrates with almost no energy loss at the epidermis and concentrates heat in the dermis and subcutaneous fat layer.

Because the Coolwaves system cools and protects the skin surface in real time, the procedure can be performed comfortably without anesthesia.

The 3 mm handpiece promotes collagen regeneration in the dermis to improve elasticity, and the 7 mm handpiece reaches the subcutaneous fat layer to reduce unnecessary fat while providing a tightening effect.

Up to this point, this is the basic principle of the ONDA device itself, and it is the same no matter which clinic you receive it from.

If It’s the Same ONDA Lifting, Why Do the Results Differ? <feat. ONDA MAX, Detoxi Cream> image 3 The difference in results lies in energy delivery efficiency. So why do the results differ if it’s the same device?

The key is how efficiently microwave energy is delivered into the skin.

In general, most clinics apply jojoba oil to the skin before performing ONDA treatment.

Jojoba oil helps the handpiece glide, but it is not optimized to improve energy delivery efficiency.

At WELLS Dermatology Clinic, we went one step further.

During ONDA treatment, we use our independently designed Detoxi Cream together, and this cream is not simply a sliding aid.

Detoxi Cream: what makes it different Detoxi Cream contains two key ingredients.

First, collagen peptides.

It adds synergy to the process in which ONDA’s microwave energy reaches the dermis and then promotes collagen synthesis.

With thermal stimulation from the energy and the supply of collagen peptides occurring at the same time, collagen regeneration can proceed more efficiently.

Second, Cera exosome ingredients.

These help protect the skin from minor damage to the surface barrier that can occur during microwave treatment.

It plays a dual role by improving energy conductivity during the procedure and helping the skin recover afterward.

In other words, Detoxi Cream helps energy reach deep into the skin without loss, while also supporting skin protection after the procedure and promoting collagen regeneration.

This is the core of the protocol we call ONDA MAX.

Faster effects, less burden With ONDA MAX, you may notice that the jawline becomes more defined and sagging areas feel tighter in about 1 to 2 weeks after the procedure.

The effects are especially noticeable in the lower face, such as the jawline, cheeks, and double chin.

Because ONDA is characterized by refining the line without excessively reducing cheek volume, it is also a low-burden option for those who worry that their cheeks might look hollow after lifting.

Another major advantage is that the procedure can be performed without anesthesia, and there is almost no downtime, so you can return to daily life immediately after treatment.

For those who felt that ONDA lifting did not meet expectations,

those who want lifting but are afraid of pain,

those who want to refine the jawline while preserving cheek volume,

and those who need to return to daily life right away without swelling after treatment,

we recommend ONDA MAX.

In closing The results of lifting are not determined by the device name alone.

Even with the same device, the outcome can differ depending on how the energy is delivered and what it is combined with.

Our WELLS Dermatology Clinic’s ONDA MAX is a protocol designed to combine ONDA lifting’s microwave energy with Detoxi Cream’s improved energy delivery efficiency, skin protection, and promotion of collagen regeneration.

Of course, we cannot guarantee the same results for everyone.

Treatment plans should vary depending on skin thickness, fat distribution, and the degree of sagging, and in some cases, we may suggest combining it with other devices such as Ulthera or Emface.

If you want a comfortable yet natural change, we recommend consulting with a specialist to determine the procedure that suits you.

Thank you for reading this long post.

This has been Choi Won-woo, Chief Director of WELLS Dermatology Clinic.
