The upgraded version of InMode...Onda lifting?? _ Part 1 / Dermatology Clinic near Gangnam Sinsa Station

Hello. This is Lifton Dermatology Clinic.

In the previous post, I gave a brief explanation of Onda lifting and mentioned InMode a little, and today I’ll take a closer look.

One of the reasons InMode became so popular was that it could deliver lifting effects conveniently while also reducing volume in areas with a lot of fat, such as the buccal area or double chin.

I think the biggest reason was the fat-destroying effect shown in the picture above. When receiving InMode mini Fx, suction occurs, and at the end, when the ‘click!’ sound is heard, a high-voltage shock is delivered to destroy fat cells. This electrical stimulation causes the fat cells to burst.

So during consultations, some people worry that they’ll become too gaunt! It does not make you lose fat on the level of liposuction, but rather gives a natural and gentle slimming effect.

However, it operates with suction bipolar mode so that heat is delivered broadly from the epidermis down to the SMAS layer, but if the skin is very thick and does not suction well... it is questionable whether heat is properly delivered all the way to the SMAS layer. Bruising caused by suction is also a well-known drawback.

(And for people who do not have much facial fat, mini Fx can feel a bit burdensome, but in that case, the final shock energy during the procedure can be adjusted so that it does not go off...)

Shall we take a look at Onda lifting 7mm this time?

Onda does not have a separate suction function. Unlike InMode, which allows current to flow between two electrode plates (left and right)....

It generates heat through a microwave method that penetrates vertically.

So there is no need to apply suction to let it go deeper. Of course, there is no bruising from that either!

As shown in the video, the procedure is performed while continuously rubbing the device. If it stays in one place even for a moment, it can suddenly become painful, so it has to be moved at an appropriate speed and in an appropriate pattern.

In fact, there is no fixed protocol (the W and total KJ can be set, though...), so it depends entirely on the practitioner’s experience, and the treatment method will likely vary slightly from practitioner to practitioner.

Then how does the fat destruction work?

As shown in the picture, the microwave emitted from the Onda lifting handpiece generates heat and damages the fat cells.

If you look at the microscopic photos, you can see that there is more destruction than you might expect.

If you look at the photo, the fat cells are not round and smooth, but crinkled, right? They are in a destroyed state.

As shown in the photo, people with a lot of volume in the buccal area or double chin can see results.

In today’s post, we looked at the fat-destruction principles of InMode and Onda lifting.

In summary, InMode breaks down fat through suction + radiofrequency, while Onda breaks down fat through microwaves.

I’ll talk about what differences in effects arise from these differences in principle in the next part.
