When researching lifting procedures, many people consider combining devices with different mechanisms, such as Shurink and Onda. It is important to first understand exactly how each device works and which areas it is suited for. Today, we will summarize the differences between Shurink and Onda based on official materials from MI.K CLINIC.
Key Summary
✔ Shurink uses high-intensity ultrasound to create thermal coagulation points in the dermis and is used for tightening and lifting.
✔ Onda uses microwaves to vibrate water molecules and is used not only for tightening and lifting, but also for fat reduction and cellulite improvement.
✔ Individual results may vary with both procedures, and saunas, strenuous exercise, alcohol, and smoking should be avoided for one week after treatment.

How Shurink Works and Its Treatment Areas

Shurink uses high-intensity ultrasound to create thermal coagulation points in the dermis. Through this process, it aims to tighten and lift the skin and improve facial contours. It is applied to the face, excluding the forehead, as well as the neck and double-chin area using a specialized tip. Because a throbbing sensation may occur during treatment, numbing cream is used. Treatment is typically performed three or more times at intervals of three to four weeks. Results and duration may vary from person to person.
How Onda Works and Its Treatment Areas


Onda uses microwave energy (10–100 GHz) to vibrate water molecules and generate heat. A DLTD cooling system is also used to help protect the surface of the skin. In addition to tightening and lifting, it aims to reduce fat and improve cellulite. It is used on body areas other than the face and neck. It is generally associated with little pain; oil is applied during the procedure, and anesthesia is not used. Treatment is performed approximately three times at intervals of three to four weeks.
Differences Between the Two Procedures

Shurink and Onda use different energy sources. Shurink uses ultrasound to form localized thermal coagulation points in the dermis, while Onda uses microwaves to vibrate water molecules throughout the tissue and generate heat. The applicable treatment areas also differ: Shurink is used on the face, excluding the forehead, the neck, and the double-chin area, while Onda is used on body areas other than the face and neck. Because of these differences, it is necessary to select a procedure based on the area of concern and the desired goal, or to confirm through a consultation whether the procedures can be combined.
Post-Treatment Precautions

After both Shurink and Onda treatments, saunas, hot baths, strenuous exercise, alcohol, and smoking should be avoided for one week. Using sunscreen is also essential. Reactions that may occur immediately after treatment can vary from person to person, so it is advisable to manage your condition in consultation with a medical professional.
Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Is Shurink painful?
A. A throbbing sensation may occur, so numbing cream is used. The level of discomfort varies from person to person.
