Can It Improve Nasolabial Folds and Sagging Jawlines?

(Department: Dermatology)

“I'm noticing that my nasolabial folds are gradually getting deeper

and my jawline is beginning to sag.”

Many people are concerned because their nasolabial folds look deeper than before or because their jawline feels as though it is sagging.

Since these areas can be difficult to improve through daily care alone, many people turn their attention to cosmetic procedures.

Among these, inquiries about Onda Lifting, which is known to be relatively low-burden, are becoming increasingly common, with people asking, “Would it be suitable for my case as well?”

However, depending on the cause and degree of sagging, Onda Lifting may be a good fit in some cases, while another procedure may be recommended in others.

So today, we will take a step-by-step look at which types of sagging may respond well to Onda Lifting and what to keep in mind before and after the procedure.

Types of Sagging

Although sagging may look similar on the surface, it can be categorized into different types.

Broadly speaking, there are two types.

The first is early-stage loss of elasticity.

This is the stage at which the skin begins to loosen, the nasolabial folds start to look slightly deeper, and the jawline begins to lose definition.

It is the most common pattern among people whose skin elasticity has only recently begun to decline.

The second type is sagging caused by a heavy fat layer.

This is the stage at which fat moves downward along with the loss of skin elasticity, making the lower cheek area feel heavier and causing the nasolabial folds to deepen further.

Onda Lifting is generally considered more suitable when both of the above—loss of elasticity and sagging caused by fat—are progressing together.

However, if the sagging has already become quite pronounced, it may be better to also consider another lifting procedure that provides a stronger lifting effect.

Therefore, identifying which type of sagging most closely matches your condition can be considered the first step in choosing a procedure.

What Is Onda Lifting?

Onda Lifting microwaves

Onda Lifting is a procedure that gently delivers warm heat to a certain depth of the skin using microwave energy.

This heat helps stimulate the skin’s collagen-renewal response while also helping to manage the fat layer beneath it.

In simple terms, it is a procedure that works to improve elasticity and reduce the fat layer at the same time.

Onda Lifting has two types of handpieces.

Onda Lifting handpieces

Depending on the area and condition, the handpiece that reaches the superficial dermal layer for elasticity-focused care is combined with the handpiece that reaches the deeper fat layer.

Because the heat rises gradually rather than being delivered intensely all at once, the burden during the recovery period is relatively low.

This is one reason why even people with little experience with cosmetic procedures often choose it without significant concern.

The cases in which Onda Lifting may be effective can be summarized as follows.

It may be suitable for people in the early stages of declining elasticity, as well as for those whose nasolabial folds are deepening or whose jawline is losing definition because the weight of the fat layer and loss of elasticity are occurring together.

Since it is noninvasive and involves little to no downtime, it is also relatively low-burden for people with busy daily schedules.

When performed three or more times at intervals of about one month, many people report noticing the effects more clearly.

It is also helpful to know in advance how changes may develop over time.

Immediately after the procedure, you may notice a slight brightening of the skin tone, warmth, and mild tightness. Around two weeks later, the collagen-renewal response begins.

The effects generally begin to be felt more clearly between four and six weeks, and the maintenance pattern tends to become established around three to six months.

However, please remember that the timing can vary considerably from person to person.

Precautions Before and After the Procedure

There is one point you must check before deciding on Onda Lifting.

That is an accurate diagnosis.

If the sagging has already become quite pronounced, it may be better to consider another lifting method that provides a stronger lifting effect.

If the main cause is a lack of volume rather than sagging, a procedure to add volume may be more appropriate.

For this reason, it is important to receive an accurate assessment through a consultation to determine the specific pattern of your sagging.

If you decide to undergo Onda Lifting, the depth and treatment design must also be determined.

Even with the same Onda Lifting procedure, the results can vary depending on which depth of handpiece is used and what intensity and design are selected for each area.

Temporary redness, warmth, and slight dryness may occur after the procedure, but these usually subside over time.

For several days, please avoid saunas, alcohol, and strong ultraviolet exposure. Paying a little more attention to moisturizing than usual may help maintain the effects longer.

Hongdae Sinchon U&I Clinic

If your nasolabial folds or jawline sagging have just begun, or if your facial contours are starting to lose definition because of fat, you may consider Onda Lifting at a Hongdae dermatology clinic.

However, if the sagging has already become pronounced, you should also consider stronger lifting methods.

We recommend confirming through a consultation whether this method is suitable for your facial condition.
