When Do Onda Lifting Results Appear in Hongdae? A Timeline for Cellulite Changes

Hello,

This is Beauty's Doctor, Wi Young-jin.

In consultations,

many people come in with concerns about thigh cellulite.

In particular, many people say similar things.

“Even if I exercise, the back of my thighs stays the same.”

“I dieted and even lost weight, but

the bumpy area under my buttocks

has barely changed.”

In cases like this,

it is likely not simply a matter of weight gain,

but rather the structural makeup unique to cellulite.

Cellulite is not just a condition with more fat;

it is a structure in which fibrous tissue

is tightly intertwined between fat layers.

So even if weight decreases,

the uneven surface

often remains the same.

Because of this, more attention has recently been given

to methods that improve the tissue structure itself,

rather than simple dieting. What Is Onda Lifting?

Onda lifting is a procedure that uses microwave energy

to improve both the fat layer

and skin elasticity at the same time.

While general radiofrequency treatments

mainly act on the dermis,

microwave energy has the characteristic

of being selectively delivered more deeply

to the subcutaneous fat layer.

This energy

transmits heat to fat cells,

helping to ease the structure of cellulite,

and at the same time it stimulates collagen production,

which may help improve skin elasticity as well.

In other words, it can be seen as a comprehensive approach

that considers fat reduction and elasticity improvement together.

In addition, while the cooling system works alongside it,

it reduces heat stimulation on the skin surface

and delivers energy only to deeper layers.

Because of this, the discomfort during the procedure

is relatively low,

and it also has the characteristic of a short recovery period. Why Are There Two Handpieces?

A key point in Onda lifting is

that it uses two handpieces that act at different depths.

First, the handpiece that acts on the shallow layer

delivers energy mainly to the dermis.

Through this process,

skin texture improvement

reduction of fine wrinkles

increased elasticity

changes like these

may appear gradually.

On the other hand, the handpiece that acts on deeper layers

targets the subcutaneous fat layer.

In this case,

cellulite reduction

contour refinement

partial size reduction

can be expected.

These two must work together

in order to improve both the fat structure

and skin elasticity at the same time. Why Is One Handpiece Not Enough?

If only the elasticity-focused handpiece

is used on its own,

the surface of the skin may improve,

but changes in the fat layer may be limited.

Conversely, if energy is delivered only to the fat layer,

then with insufficient skin elasticity,

changes in the contour

may not look natural.

Also, if deep energy is delivered excessively

to an area with a thin fat layer,

there is a possibility of side effects

such as hollowing

or volume reduction.

So the important point is

to choose the appropriate depth

while considering the current skin thickness

and the condition of the fat layer. When Will Cellulite Results Appear?

The part many people are most curious about

is the timing of the results.

“Does it shrink right after the procedure?”

“When does the contour start to change?”

I often get questions like these.

Elasticity improvement requires

the collagen production process,

so it takes a little time.

Usually, around 3 months,

people often begin to feel

gradual changes in elasticity.

Cellulite refinement effects usually

start to appear gradually

about 2 to 4 weeks after the procedure.

Then, after about 6 to 8 weeks,

many people begin to notice

changes in the contour and improved skin elasticity.

In addition, collagen production

continues afterward,

so gradual changes can continue

for up to about 3 months.

Rather than expecting an immediate change,

it is better to expect a natural refinement. Key Points About Onda Lifting

Even with the same device,

results can vary depending on the procedure method.

The important part is

to accurately assess the current skin condition

and take a region-by-region approach.

The thickness of the cellulite

fat distribution

skin elasticity condition

These three factors

must be considered together.

Rather than performing the procedure

in a uniform, one-size-fits-all way,

it is important to adjust the depth

and energy intensity

to suit the area. Cellulite is not a problem that simply occurs

because there is too much fat.

It is a change caused by the combined action of

the fat structure,

fibrous tissue,

and skin elasticity.

Therefore, simple weight loss alone

is often not enough to improve it.

An approach that considers both the fat layer

and elasticity together

may be necessary.

The reason there are two handpieces

is also to improve two layers

with different depths of action at the same time.

Depending on each person’s skin condition

and fat layer thickness,

it is important to design

the appropriate treatment direction.
