Sadang Station Dermatology Clinic,
Why does the plan for
Onda lifting vary depending on face shape?

Q. Is skin sagging always the reason
when the jawline becomes less defined and a double chin appears?
A. Not necessarily!
Even when there does not appear to be a significant change in the mirror,
the jawline may look less defined in photographs,
and a double chin or heaviness beneath the cheeks
may become more noticeable.
However, the causes of these changes are not always the same.
Reduced elasticity may be the main cause,
while in other cases, the distribution of fat beneath the chin
or under the cheeks may also have an effect.
Therefore, when considering Onda lifting
at a Sadang Station dermatology clinic,
it is important to first examine the current distribution and thickness of facial fat,
as well as skin elasticity, rather than focusing only on the name of the procedure.

How is Onda lifting different from ultrasound
or radiofrequency lifting?
Onda lifting at a Sadang Station dermatology clinic
differs in the type of energy used.
Onda uses 2.45 GHz microwave energy called
Coolwaves® to induce a thermal response in the subcutaneous tissue beneath the skin.
During the procedure, a cooling system operates at the same time
to manage the temperature of the skin’s surface
while delivering energy to the target tissue.
However, because the thickness of the skin and the amount and location of fat
vary from one area of the face to another,
it is difficult to apply the same approach to every area.
Therefore, with Onda lifting at a Sadang Station dermatology clinic,
it is more important to examine the facial structure,
distinguish the areas that require treatment,
and create a plan accordingly than simply to use a large amount of energy.

If you have a double chin or full cheeks,
should they all be treated in the same way?
They are not all treated in the same way.
The appearance of a double chin does not necessarily mean
that everyone has a large amount of fat beneath the chin.
Depending on reduced elasticity, tissue sagging,
the shape of the chin, and the angle of the neck,
a double chin may appear prominent
even without a significant amount of fat.
The amount and distribution of cheek fat also vary,
so it is important to distinguish between areas where volume should be maintained,
such as the front cheeks,
and areas where adjustment may be considered,
such as the jawline.
Especially when the face is thin or the skin is delicate,
the treatment areas should be assessed more carefully
to avoid unnecessary volume reduction.
Ultimately, the treatment range and approach for Onda lifting
may vary depending on face shape, skin thickness, and fat distribution.
At Greenee, a Sadang Station dermatology clinic,
we avoid meaningless repeated procedures.
We first assess whether the treatment is necessary
based on the current condition of the face,
and then consider it important to explain the treatment approach.
Rather than automatically using a large amount of energy,
the first step is to distinguish between the areas that need treatment
and those that do not.

What should be checked before Onda lifting?
Before planning Onda lifting,
rather than viewing the entire face as one area,
it is important to assess the amount and distribution of fat,
as well as skin thickness and elasticity,
by individual area.
In addition, because the left and right sides of the face are not completely identical,
it is necessary to also examine differences in the bone structure and soft tissue,
as well as asymmetry caused by chewing habits or facial expressions.
Whether you have recently received lifting, laser, or filler treatments,
as well as your skin’s reaction after previous procedures,
can also be taken into account when creating an individualized plan.
Especially when the face is thin,
it is important to distinguish between areas that should be maintained
and areas where change may be considered,
so that unnecessary volume reduction does not occur.
At Greenee, a Sadang Station dermatology clinic,
based on the principle of using verified genuine products
in specified quantities, we prepare a lifting-priority consultation form.
We clearly explain the treatment process and plan to patients,
and consider confirming both their current skin condition
and their desired direction together
to be an important part of care.

What should you consider first about Onda lifting,
rather than how many sessions you will receive?
Even with the same Onda lifting procedure,
the treatment range and approach may vary depending on face shape,
skin thickness, and the amount and distribution of fat.
The reason the jawline appears less defined
may also differ from person to person,
such as fat beneath the chin, tissue distribution beneath the cheeks,
or reduced skin elasticity.
Therefore, when considering Onda lifting at a Sadang Station dermatology clinic,
rather than comparing only the number or intensity of sessions,
it is important to first determine which areas of your current face are concerning
to you and what is causing those concerns.
Please plan an approach suited to your facial condition
by distinguishing between the volume that should be maintained
and the areas that require adjustment.
