Yeongdeungpo Onda Lifting,
Is it effective for a double chin and under-chin fat?
"My weight is the same,
but it feels like the fat under my chin keeps sagging."
"Exercise or dieting doesn’t seem to
get rid of a double chin easily.
Can a procedure help?"
A double chin is not something that only
appears because of weight gain.
As people age, the skin under the chin can sag,
or the skin can loosen as collagen decreases.
These changes are not easy to resolve with
exercise or dieting.
That is because it is not only a problem of fat,
but also one where the skin itself has loosened.
Many people who are worried about a double chin
and under-chin fat look into Onda Lifting.
Today, let’s look at how Onda Lifting works
for a double chin and sagging under-chin fat,
and how effective it actually is.

- What is the real cause of sagging under-chin fat?
Yeongdeungpo Onda Lifting
The reasons under-chin fat sags
can largely be divided into two types.

One is subcutaneous fat.
The area under the chin is a place where fat tends to accumulate.
Once under-chin fat settles in,
it is not easily reduced even with exercise or dieting.
That is because fat cells in this area
are slower to decrease compared with other parts of the face.

Another reason is sagging skin caused by a decrease
in collagen in the dermis.
As we get older, collagen fibers in the dermis
become looser and their amount decreases.
Then the skin can no longer support the fat well
and begins to droop downward.
Among people whose double chin does not go away easily,
these two factors often progress together.
If only the fat is reduced, the skin may still remain loose.
If only the skin is tightened, the fat remains,
making it hard to feel a noticeable effect.
So when choosing a double chin procedure,
it is important to check whether it can act on both
fat and skin.
- How does Yeongdeungpo
Onda Lifting work?
Onda Lifting is a procedure that uses
2.45GHz microwaves.
Microwaves vibrate the water in the skin,
creating heat inside it.
The two handpieces in Onda Lifting
are each used for different purposes.

First, the 7mm handpiece
targets the fat layer.
It selectively heats subcutaneous fat,
causing it to naturally break down and decrease.
The 3mm handpiece targets the dermis,
causing existing collagen fibers to contract
and then encouraging new collagen production.

In other words, Onda Lifting can create two changes:
reducing fat and making the skin firmer again.
It is a procedure that can address the two causes
of a double chin mentioned earlier.
There is a clinical study on this effect,
so let’s take a look.

This data evaluated changes 12 weeks after the final treatment
in 10 women with moderate to severe submental sagging,
with an average age of 56,
after two Onda Lifting sessions performed
at 30-day intervals.
A double chin that appears in the 50s
often needs both fat reduction and lifting of sagging skin.
Then let’s look at the appearance before treatment
and after two sessions.

On the left, before treatment, the area under the chin was sagging,
which weakened the jawline and blurred the boundary
between the neck and the chin.
On the right, after treatment,
the sagging under the chin had improved
and the jawline looked more defined.
The researchers reported that the SMSLG
(submental sagging grade, out of 4 points)
improved from an average of 3.6 before treatment
to 2.3 at 12 weeks.
The more severe the sagging,
the greater the degree of change.
- Is one treatment enough, and how long does it last?

If you are looking into the procedure,
you may also wonder about the number of sessions
and how long the results last.
In fact, this depends on each person’s condition.
Still, based on clinical research,
the study performed two sessions at 30-day intervals.
For people with mild sagging, even one session
may show a clear change,
but in cases like the study subjects,
where sagging was moderate or worse or there was more fat,
more than two sessions may be needed to see an effect.
Also, in the study, the effect was confirmed
to remain at 12 weeks after the final treatment.

Once collagen is created,
it tends to stay in place for a relatively long time,
but newly formed collagen also naturally decreases over time.
So to maintain the initial changes,
it is good to receive maintenance treatments
at regular intervals.
In general, intervals of 6 months to 1 year are recommended,
but the maintenance period can vary depending on
sun exposure and lifestyle habits.
Yeongdeungpo Onda Lifting is an effective procedure
because it acts simultaneously on both
fat and skin sagging, the two causes of a double chin
and sagging under-chin fat.
That is because it can address changes that were
not resolved by exercise or dieting.
However, all changes may not be completed
with just one treatment.
You can see the effect only by receiving as many
treatments as your skin condition requires.
So if you are considering the procedure,
please first check whether the fat under your chin
is the main issue or whether skin sagging is more noticeable.
