Things to Know Beyond the ONDA Lifting Interval

The desire to stop time as it passes

is probably the same for everyone in the world.

Many people feel disappointed as they watch

wrinkles gradually appear on their faces and elasticity decline, regardless of their own will.

To ease that disappointment, many kinds

of progress have been made in the beauty care field.

Procedures that have been performed for a long time

have also advanced further as various products have been developed,

and new devices have been released as well.

One of them is ONDA, which was first launched in Italy in 2022.

Since its release until now, it has continued to

attract attention because it is applied with a principle

different from the various lifting devices used so far.

I will explain the details later,

but the energy itself is different.

Because the principle is different, the way it acts on the skin

is also different, and it may create even better changes.

I will carefully explain what is specifically different,

including the ONDA lifting interval.

Summarizing the principle

You may be familiar with radiofrequency or ultrasound,

but what makes this device unique is that it uses

a new energy source: special microwave energy.

Microwave energy is delivered deep into the

subcutaneous fat layer.

When the ultrashort waves are delivered evenly into the interior,

they induce lifting and tightening through collagen remodeling

and can also improve a double chin through fat cell destruction.

The reason the ONDA lifting interval is not that short

is that these changes last for a long time.

Because it directly induces the breakdown of fat cells,

it can also reduce cellulite.

In this process, the impact on surrounding tissue

has been greatly reduced.

This is thanks to the patented handpiece.

It passes through the epidermis without energy loss,

so heat is concentrated in the interior and excessive

heating of the epidermis does not occur.

In addition, a skin surface cooling system is built in,

which can also reduce the risk of burns.

There are two types of handpieces.

They are 7 mm depth and 3 mm depth, and each plays a role

in creating fat cell breakdown through heating,

collagen cell generation,

and tightening through induced surface collagen contraction.

Direct comparison

Before looking into the ONDA lifting interval,

I will organize the differences from other procedures

so they are easy to see at a glance.

There are many devices, but I will compare

it with a few of the most preferred representative ones.

They are Ulthera, InMode, and Shurink.

First, Ulthera uses HIFU, or ultrasound.

It has uniformly focused coagulation points where heat is concentrated,

and the penetration location and depth can be finely adjusted.

It can be expected to improve wrinkles and lifting,

and mainly acts on the dermis and SMAS layer.

Shurink, which also uses HIFU,

can likewise be expected to improve skin elasticity and lifting.

Even when using the same energy, the output and the tips used are different,

so the changes are also different.

InMode is the only one among the devices mentioned

that uses RF, or radiofrequency.

It helps with fat breakdown and improving skin elasticity,

and is suitable for stimulating the surface and subcutaneous fat layers.

In the case of ONDA, it can more comprehensively help

with elasticity and fat reduction,

cellulite improvement, tightening, and lifting.

Selection unit

The ONDA lifting interval naturally varies from person to person,

so you should decide with the medical staff depending on

which area you want help with and which energy was used

for the previous procedure.

Here, I will talk about the energy.

When receiving laser treatment, you usually need to think about

how many shots you will receive.

After first diagnosing the skin, the appropriate number of shots

is recommended based on concerns and skin type.

Here, a shot means the number of times the energy is delivered.

ONDA, on the other hand, uses a different unit.

It is not called shots, but units.

In this case, it can be understood as referring to energy,

not simply the number of times.

With other devices, the energy is delivered in separate pulses,

so it is easy to talk about the number of times like this.

However, ONDA delivers energy continuously without interruption,

so it is discussed in terms of amount rather than number of times.

It can be received in a variety of amounts,

such as 10,000 units, 40,000 units, 80,000 units, and 100,000 units.

Maintenance period and interval

The ONDA lifting interval is usually said to be

3 to 4 weeks, or one month.

Even if there is no impact on surrounding tissue,

the area where energy is delivered is clearly stimulated,

so you need to wait for regeneration before receiving it again.

Accordingly, it is generally said that receiving it at least

3 times on a one-month basis is the ideal number.

Then the next question is the maintenance period.

The maintenance period varies greatly depending on

the number of procedures, so individual differences are very large.

However, in general, the changes tend to last up to about 1 year.

To maintain the effect for up to 1 year,

as mentioned, you need to receive it at least 3 times

on a monthly basis, and if you receive it only once,

the average duration is about 2 to 3 months.

Of course, if you additionally combine it with procedures

that use different principles, such as InMode, Botox,

Volnewmer, or Oligio, the maintenance period may also change.

Take your time

Although it is explained that the ONDA lifting interval is one month

and that you should receive it three times,

in reality, very few people receive it up to three times.

Usually, people try it once first and then decide on a second session

after watching the changes, which is why.

What is unfortunate at this point is that many people do not

directly feel the changes.

Even though they received the procedure with expectations,

they become dissatisfied with the lifting or tightening results

and end up choosing another procedure.

Although factors such as the medical staff's lack of experience

or settings that do not suit the skin also play a role,

the bigger reason is usually that they did not wait long enough.

This is because, in general, it takes at least about a month

before you can notice changes visually after the procedure.

To observe changes that begin in the subcutaneous fat layer from the outside,

of course some amount of time must pass.

So please do not give up right away,

and I recommend waiting a little longer

and then receiving the second session.
