As technology continues to advance and develop, the methods used to lift sagging skin are also becoming increasingly diverse.

Recently, noninvasive lifting procedures using ultrasound or radiofrequency have been particularly popular.

Although rare, some cases have emerged in which these procedures contribute to the development of a peanut-shaped face, leaving many people continuing to worry about the issue.

Today, we will look at why it is important to find a lifting method suited to you in order to achieve more stable results.

This paper discusses the characteristics of skin aging in Koreans. As you read the text below, you can also review the related research findings.

Cheek hollows or a peanut-shaped face that develop after lifting may be caused by excessively aggressive lifting performed without sufficient consideration.

Some people believe that lifting must be performed intensely—or even to the point of causing pain—to achieve satisfactory results.

Skin aging and wrinkles can develop for various reasons, including anatomical and genetic factors. For those concerned about skin elasticity, wrinkles, and similar skin issues, we recommend Onda lifting, which may provide notable improvement in these areas.

However, this is not true. Regardless of pain, it is important to use equipment and apply a depth and intensity suited to you.

It is also not advisable to perform an intensely powerful lifting procedure all at once in an attempt to lift the entire face in a single session.

Because Onda lifting does not stimulate the skin’s surface during energy delivery, it tends to cause less pain during the procedure and has the advantage of allowing you to resume daily activities immediately afterward.

What principle does Onda lifting use?

To prevent lifting from causing a peanut-shaped face, the procedure must be performed using equipment suited to you and an appropriate technique.

Onda is relatively less well known than Ultherapy, which uses ultrasound, or Thermage, which uses radiofrequency.

It is a device that delivers ultra-short microwave energy to the skin layers, with expected effects including lifting and tightening, contour improvement, and fat reduction.

Many people generally choose it for lifting and contour correction, and immediate lifting and skin tightening can be observed.

Onda lifting is popular among busy people today because results appear immediately after the procedure.

What are the benefits of Onda lifting?

Onda lifting is popular among busy people today because results appear immediately after the procedure.

In addition, collagen remodeling continues over time, so satisfaction may increase as time passes.

Onda lifting may also be an appropriate option for those looking for a painless treatment or a treatment that can effectively improve a sagging jawline and prominent jowls.

It can improve a softened jawline and prominent jowls caused by a double chin, and it may also help reduce fat.

It can be performed on the arms, thighs, and abdomen when fat reduction is needed, allowing for more efficient treatment.

Onda lifting can concentrate heat in the dermal and subcutaneous layers that need to receive it, helping prevent unnecessary heating of the epidermis. As a result, the risk of skin damage tends to be low.

Why is the risk of skin damage low?

Onda lifting, which uses ultra-short microwaves, is characterized by the fact that the energy passes through the epidermis with very little energy loss.

It can concentrate heat in the dermal and subcutaneous layers that need to receive it, helping prevent unnecessary heating of the epidermis.

This greatly reduces the risk of heat being lost in the epidermis and damaging the skin.

Because lifting and tightening can be performed efficiently, it may also help prevent excessive energy delivery from becoming a cause of a peanut-shaped face.

Onda lifting can be customized by using the appropriate handpiece according to each individual’s treatment goals and target areas, which may help achieve more satisfactory results.

What features do the handpieces have?

The handpieces used for Onda lifting are divided into a shallow handpiece with a depth of 3 mm and a deep handpiece with a depth of 7 mm.

The former delivers ultra-short microwave energy intensively to the superficial layer to help contract shallow tissues, while the latter may help contract deeper tissues and break down fat cells.

Because the lifting procedure can be carefully designed and performed according to facial shape and fat distribution, it may also help prevent the causes of a peanut-shaped face.
