Cold and hot, but the results are definite

— The real story of Onda lifting

Many people are curious about Onda lifting,

so I organized everything myself, one by one.

“Does Onda really hurt?”

“Does it work even if you do it just once?”

“Are there any side effects?”

I get questions like these very often.

I’ll tell you everything honestly.

✅ 1. How painful is Onda lifting?

In one word,

it feels cold and hot at the same time.

The tip itself is cooled, so it feels cold,

while the deeper inner layer

receives thermal energy and feels hot.

Because these two sensations are felt at the same time,

it may feel a little unfamiliar at first.

Some people say it doesn’t hurt at all,

while people who especially struggle with heat

may describe it as painful.

There are individual differences.

That said, compared to other lifting procedures,

it is definitely less painful.

In particular, compared with InMode FX mode,

it is much less painful.

By adjusting the moving speed

and the amount of energy delivered (W),

we can minimize discomfort.

✅ 2. How should before-and-after photos

be taken so the results are clearly visible?

Onda lifting is a procedure that shows good results mainly around the buccal fat area and cheekbones.

So it’s best to take before-and-after photos

from an angle where these areas are clearly visible.

Before consultation, we first perform a 3D facial analysis

through MetaView imaging.

Because it’s not just a simple photo,

but a way to understand the face in three dimensions,

we can make a more accurate treatment plan.

✅ 3. How are the Onda handpieces

combined and used?

Onda has two handpieces.

They are the 7 mm handpiece and the 3 mm handpiece.

The numbers refer to the depth of skin penetration.

The 7 mm handpiece

is specialized for reducing deep-layer fat,

while the 3 mm handpiece

is mainly used to improve skin elasticity.

For people with a lot of facial fat,

the 7 mm handpiece is used mainly,

and for those who do not,

a combined treatment with the 3 mm handpiece is performed.

Energy distribution is focused about 50% on the area that needs the most reduction,

and the remainder is distributed to other areas.

Areas with a lot of fat, such as the jawline and cheeks,

are treated intensively,

while areas that may become hollow, such as the side cheeks to the back cheeks,

are mapped out before treatment and avoided.

✅ 4. Does it actually work?

How satisfied are people?

It is one of the procedures

with excellent immediate results.

Many people notice a change in their facial contour

right after the procedure.

In particular, people who want to reduce facial fat

and achieve a contouring effect

are highly satisfied.

✅ 5. Why do prices differ from one clinic to another?

The technique itself for Onda

is not all that varied.

The difference comes from other factors.

Whether the doctor and the practitioner are the same person,

whether detailed ultrasound diagnosis is performed before the procedure,

whether pre- and post-procedure care is carried out systematically,

these are the kinds of things that differ from clinic to clinic.

In particular, whether the targeted area is precisely identified through ultrasound diagnosis and then treated

is the key factor that creates differences in results.

✅ 6. Do you need to have it done multiple times for it to work?

It works even if you have it done just once.

The reason for multiple sessions

is not because one treatment is ineffective,

but to enhance the cumulative effect.

The difference in effect between one session and three sessions

can simply be considered to be about three times.

The number of sessions is determined

depending on the size of the change you want.

✅ 7. Can side effects occur?

Onda is a procedure

that rarely causes side effects.

However, there is one thing to keep in mind.

Because it is a procedure that reduces fat,

if it is performed indiscriminately without prior design,

it can cause hollowing in the cheeks.

Before the procedure, it is important to identify the areas where hollowing may occur

and proceed while avoiding those areas.

It’s a good idea to check whether the clinic carefully goes through this process

before choosing where to go.

✅ 8. Does age affect the results?

Is 30 too early? Is 60 too late?

There is no age limit for the procedure.

Just as there is no specific age at which you must lose weight,

Onda is the same.

What matters is not age,

but whether there is fat on the face that needs to be reduced right now.

Whether you are in your 30s or 60s,

if that condition applies,

it is a suitable procedure at any time.

✅ 9. In what cases do you recommend Onda?

It is recommended for people who need improvement in facial contours,

that is, contouring.

It works especially well for people who have a lot of facial fat

and therefore do not have a clearly defined contour.

It is also a procedure with steady demand

for body areas such as the upper arms, waist, and thighs,

not just the face.

✅ 10. What must you check to make a choice without regret?

When choosing a clinic and procedure,

be sure to check these three things.

First, whether the doctor and the practitioner are the same person.

Make sure the doctor who consulted with you is the one performing the procedure.

Second, whether ultrasound diagnosis is performed before the procedure.

Whether the structure of your face is precisely identified

and the design is established first

determines the outcome.

Third, whether areas that may become hollow are avoided in advance.

Places that carry a risk of hollowing

can lead to cheek hollowing if the procedure is performed without this step.

Even a good procedure must be done at a good clinic

for good results to come out. Onda lifting

is an immediate and effective procedure

for reducing facial fat

and refining facial contours.

It involves less pain and has a low risk of side effects,

but if it is performed without design,

it can cause hollowing in the cheeks.

Pre-procedure ultrasound diagnosis and precise design,

these two points are the core of Onda lifting.

feel free to ask anytime in the comments! 😊
