Enhance Firmness with Onda (Onda) Lifting
Reduce Fat
Hello.
This is Mutoel Plastic Surgery.
Mutoel is located in front of Yongsan Station
and is a clinic where board-certified plastic surgery specialists
and dermatology specialists work together in a collaborative system with three specialists.
Based on our clients’ trust,
we always consult warmly and sincerely,
treat each patient as if they were our own family,
perform procedures with responsibility,
and carefully manage every step of the process.

Lately, the weather has been getting colder,
and Christmas is just around the corner.
Interest in lifting treatments also seems to be increasing.
When it comes to questions about facial contours or body lines,
a common inquiry we receive is:
"Is it possible to improve facial/body lines without surgery?"
When that happens, the procedure we most often
recommend at Mutoel is
'Onda (Onda) lifting.'
Mutoel Plastic Surgery is located inside a hotel in Yongsan,
so consultations and procedures can be done in a comfortable, private space.
In addition to patients in Korea,
we also continue to welcome international patients
who visit our country.
In particular, 'Onda' is well known overseas as well
and is a popular treatment that receives a great deal of love.

Unlike many existing lifting devices that use
radiofrequency (RF) and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), Onda
uses microwave energy.
While showing effective lifting results,
it causes little discomfort to the point that
no topical anesthetic ointment is needed,
which is why it has recently been chosen even more often.
Today, at Mutoel, the only clinic in Yongsan Dermatology
that has Onda equipment,
we will explain in detail about 'Onda,'
which shows both firmness enhancement and fat reduction.

How does it work?
Onda, developed by the Italian company DEKA,
distinguishes itself from conventional RF or HIFU devices
by using microwave energy.
Microwaves work on a principle similar to that of a microwave oven,
and can effectively deliver high-frequency energy deep into the skin
with minimal loss.
In other words, by minimizing damage to the skin surface
and stably concentrating heat in the dermis and subcutaneous fat layer,
it delivers excellent results for improving firmness
and refining contours.
Because it has a built-in Coolwaves system
that cools and protects the epidermis,
there is less risk of skin irritation and burns,
and even those sensitive to pain can undergo the procedure
with little burden, which is a major advantage.
In addition, Onda measures total energy in kilojoules (KJ)
rather than in shots, allowing for fine adjustments
depending on skin condition, firmness, and fat-layer thickness.
This makes it possible to perform precise customized treatment,
from improving skin firmness to refining contours.
At Mutoel, we carefully analyze each client’s condition
and then provide customized treatment,
so you can experience highly satisfying results.

What changes can you expect?
The energy of Onda lifting promotes the production of collagen
and elastin in the dermis, while also directly stimulating
the subcutaneous fat layer to induce fat breakdown.
That is why, for facial treatment, it helps improve contours in areas
where fat is concentrated locally, such as the double chin,
cheeks, and around the mouth,
while also allowing you to feel a firmer sensation from within the skin.
Immediately after the procedure, you may feel a slight warmth
as if the skin has become a little heated,
and as time passes, you will gradually notice increased firmness
and smoother skin texture.
On average, you can begin to feel gradual lifting effects after about two weeks,
and you can expect localized fat to be naturally
and firmly refined.
In addition to facial lifting,
it can also be used for firmness care on the body,
such as the upper arms, abdomen, and thighs,
where fat tends to accumulate,
making it a versatile treatment in many ways.

What is the process like?
At Mutoel Plastic Surgery in Yongsan,
we conduct a thorough consultation before treatment,
carefully diagnosing the skin condition, amount of fat,
and degree of firmness in the treatment area,
and then proceed with treatment using customized settings.
During the procedure, you will mainly feel a warm sensation,
a cool sensation during cooling, and perhaps a slight pressing feeling;
there is almost no pain, and the treatment time is short,
around 20 minutes.
Cooling is maintained consistently at about 10°C,
and temporary redness of the skin may appear due to friction from the handpiece,
but it usually subsides within a day or two,
allowing you to return to daily life right away, which is highly satisfying.
It is a versatile procedure that minimizes unnecessary stimulation
and side effects while caring for the skin so that the inside becomes firm
and the surface remains smooth.
CCTV is installed in all areas at Mutoel,
including the consultation room, treatment room, and waiting area,
providing a trustworthy medical environment.

In what cases is it effective?
Onda lifting works on deep layers of the skin,
using a method that enhances firmness while reducing fat,
with fast recovery and minimal skin irritation.
For that reason, it is especially helpful for people who
usually have a pronounced double chin,
feel that the line around the mouth has lost definition,
want lifting but find surgical methods burdensome,
or want quick recovery because of a busy schedule,
such as office workers.
Onda works well on its own,
but for people who have already been receiving skin care or procedures regularly,
combining Onda treatment can provide even better results
for firmness and skin texture improvement.

Are there any precautions?
In general, we recommend up to three sessions,
starting at four-week intervals.
The effectiveness and duration may vary depending on each person’s skin characteristics,
but in most cases, the results are expected to last about one year.
Immediately after treatment, the skin will feel tighter
and slightly pulled.
For about one week, we recommend avoiding alcohol, saunas, and smoking
as much as possible.
Because the skin may become somewhat sensitive after the procedure,
it is best to help recovery with 충분한 moisture and sun protection.
And as with all procedures,
Onda lifting may also produce different effects and responses
depending on an individual’s skin condition,
sensitivity, and thickness of the fat layer.
In particular, for people with a lot of facial fat,
if the procedure is performed with excessive energy,
undesired changes such as cheek hollowing may occur,
so delicate adjustment by experienced medical staff is essential.
At Mutoel Plastic Surgery,
we do our best for each client based on genuine equipment
and the experience of our skilled medical staff.
From consultation to treatment and aftercare,
we will take full responsibility and carry out the process carefully
under the close supervision of our dedicated medical team.

In closing..
As time passes, it is natural for skin firmness
to gradually decline and tissues to sag,
but thanks to the development of modern technology,
more and more ways are emerging to slow those changes
and regain a more youthful impression.
Onda lifting is a lifting procedure with less pain,
fast recovery, and the ability to care for everything from the skin surface
to the deep fat layer all at once.
However, one thing we hope you remember is that
because the appropriate plan and settings differ depending on the individual,
we recommend proceeding only after sufficient consultation
with a medical professional.
That concludes today’s post from Yongsan Dermatology.
If you want firm, defined contours,
please receive a safe consultation with the medical staff at Mutoel.
This was Mutoel Plastic Surgery.
Thank you.
