Step-by-Step Guide to the Onda Lifting Procedure in Cheongdam

When your skin feels as though it is sagging downward like an elastic band that has lost its elasticity, you may start considering a lifting procedure. In particular, many people who visit dermatology clinics in Cheongdam want natural-looking changes while minimizing discomfort. Today, we will discuss Onda lifting, which has recently been receiving a great deal of attention.

Many people are curious about the exact steps involved in this procedure. We will explain in detail what you can expect from the moment you enter the clinic until you leave.

• Detailed design consultation to assess your skin

• Procedure preparation to reduce concerns about discomfort

• The main procedure using Cool Wave technology

• Soothing care and finishing after the procedure

The first step is a detailed design consultation.

When many people think of lifting, they may easily imagine a machine smoothing the entire face automatically. However, the human face is not flat like a sheet of paper. The height of the cheekbones, the angle of the jawline, the skin thickness, and the amount of fat all differ from person to person.

Therefore, before the procedure, it is essential to sit with the medical staff and design the treatment while looking in a mirror. Onda lifting does not simply pull the skin tighter; it reduces unnecessary fat and adds support where elasticity is needed. Therefore, it would not be an exaggeration to say that deciding where to concentrate the energy accounts for half of the result. It is much like carefully taking body measurements when having a suit tailored.

The second step is preparation to help you feel comfortable.

When people think of lifting lasers, they often think of numbing cream. One of the major features of Onda lifting is that it causes significantly less discomfort. This is because the device itself is equipped with a powerful contact-cooling system that protects the skin’s surface by keeping it cool.

For this reason, the procedure can often begin immediately without a separate anesthesia process. Of course, people who are sensitive to discomfort can discuss adjustments with the medical staff. Before the procedure, the skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove impurities and excess oil from the surface, creating optimal conditions for energy delivery.

The third step is the main procedure using Cool Wave, the key technology.

The handpiece now begins moving across the face. Many people are curious about how it feels. To use an analogy, it is similar to receiving a massage with warm stones.

Onda uses energy in the form of microwaves. It may be easier to understand if you think of it as similar to the principle behind a microwave oven. Just as food becomes warm from the inside without the outside burning when heated in a microwave, Onda lifting protects the surface of the skin by keeping it cool while delivering heat only to the dermal and fat layers beneath the skin.

The medical staff continuously moves the handpiece as if rubbing the skin while delivering the energy. Using two tips, 3 mm and 7 mm, the procedure is performed according to its purpose—for example, stimulating collagen in the superficial layers or addressing fat cells in the deeper layers. You will experience the unique sensation of a cool skin surface with a gentle warmth felt underneath. This is the process that helps collagen rebuild.

The fourth and final step is soothing care and finishing.

After the procedure, the remaining warmth in the skin is gently soothed. Onda lifting causes little to no damage to the skin’s surface, so redness and swelling are generally minimal immediately after the procedure. As a result, you can wash your face or apply light makeup right away, and busy office workers sometimes schedule the procedure during their lunch break.

The thermal energy delivered into the skin continues to work after the procedure, gradually encouraging collagen production. Therefore, as time passes after the procedure, you may feel that your facial contours become more defined.

Even when the same device is used, the results may differ depending on who performs the procedure. This is because accurately assessing each person’s different facial structure and skin type and placing energy in the appropriate areas depends on the medical staff’s level of experience.

The Cheongdam dermatology clinic takes care throughout the entire procedure in order to bring out each person’s unique beauty. If you have hesitated to undergo lifting because of concerns about discomfort, we invite you to consult with us about ways to enhance your appearance comfortably.
