The Effects of ONDA Lifting and Why Facial Fat Should Not Be Removed Indiscriminately

“I received ONDA Lifting, but I did not notice a significant change.”

“Does ONDA really reduce facial fat?”

These are questions we often hear during ONDA Lifting consultations. However, the effects of ONDA Lifting are not determined simply by the use of a particular device. Depending on the amount and distribution of facial fat, as well as skin elasticity, the appropriate treatment method must be carefully selected.

To achieve satisfactory results, it is important to reduce unnecessary fat while preserving the fat that provides facial volume and support. This article explains why ONDA Lifting results may vary from person to person and why a customized treatment plan based on the treatment area is essential.

Key Summary: ONDA Lifting Effectiveness and Important Considerations

• Principle: Microwave energy induces fat reduction and stimulates collagen regeneration in the dermal layer

• Key point: Customized treatment design is essential, as the response to treatment varies depending on the facial area and fat distribution

• Recommended candidates: People concerned about a double chin, facial contour, localized fat, or reduced skin elasticity

What Is ONDA Lifting? Understanding How ONDA Works

ONDA Lifting is a lifting treatment that uses 2.45 GHz microwave energy to selectively deliver heat to the fat layer. Rather than targeting only the surface of the skin, it transfers energy to the subcutaneous fat layer, stimulating fat reduction while also improving skin elasticity and helping refine facial contours.

It can also be applied to areas with localized body fat, including the abdomen, arms, and thighs. This makes it possible to manage both the face and body with the same treatment technology.

Comparing the Effects of ONDA Lifting by Treatment Area

ONDA Lifting is not simply a treatment for reducing facial fat. It addresses both fat reduction and skin tightening, making it an effective option for improving a variety of aesthetic concerns.

How Do the 3 mm and 7 mm ONDA Handpieces Differ?

ONDA Lifting offers two types of handpieces: 3 mm and 7 mm.

Many patients ask which handpiece is better. However, neither is inherently superior. The appropriate choice depends on the treatment area, the thickness of the fat layer, and your individual concerns.

The 3 mm handpiece is designed to focus on improving skin firmness within the dermal layer. Because it has a smaller treatment tip, it is primarily used to enhance skin elasticity in localized facial areas.

The 7 mm handpiece is designed to deliver energy deeper into the subcutaneous fat layer. It is commonly used for areas with a greater amount of fat, such as the double chin, cheeks, and jawline, as well as for reducing localized fat on the abdomen, arms, and thighs. The choice of handpiece is determined based on the thickness of the fat layer and the treatment objectives.

Why Doesn't ONDA Lifting Work for Everyone?

ONDA Lifting uses microwave energy to deliver heat to the fat layer, helping reduce localized fat while improving skin elasticity. However, not all facial fat is the same. As a result, applying the same treatment approach to every area of the face does not always produce satisfying results.

For example, applying excessive energy to areas with minimal fat may lead to a hollow or sunken appearance. On the other hand, if areas with a greater amount of fat do not receive sufficient energy, the desired contouring effect may be limited.

In other words, the effectiveness of ONDA Lifting depends not only on the device itself, but also on how each treatment area is evaluated and treated.

Should All Facial Fat, Such as the Double Chin and Cheeks, Be Removed?

Not necessarily. While reducing fat is beneficial in some areas, preserving facial fat is equally important in others to maintain natural facial volume and a youthful appearance.

• Forehead and temples: These areas play an important role in creating a youthful facial appearance. Rather than reducing fat, improving skin firmness and mild laxity with the ONDA 3 mm handpiece is often the preferred approach.

• Nasolabial fold area: The cause of deep nasolabial folds varies from person to person. Depending on the underlying cause, a customized treatment plan using both the 3 mm and 7 mm handpieces may be recommended.

• Jawline and lower face: This area has a relatively well defined facial contour, making it suitable for reducing unnecessary fat with the ONDA 7 mm handpiece to achieve a more refined jawline.

To maximize the benefits of ONDA Lifting while minimizing unwanted side effects, the goal is not simply to remove fat, but to create a balanced facial contour through a customized treatment strategy for each area of the face.

Who Is ONDA Lifting Suitable For?

ONDA Lifting may be recommended for individuals with the following concerns:

Recommended Candidates for ONDA Lifting

• Those concerned about a double chin • Those whose facial contour appears heavy due to excess fat in the cheeks

• Those seeking both fat reduction and improved skin firmness

• Those with localized fat on the abdomen, arms, flanks, thighs, or other body areas

Because the amount of fat, skin elasticity, and treatment area vary from person to person, it is important to determine the most appropriate handpiece and treatment plan through an individualized consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions About ONDA Lifting

Q. When will I start to see results from ONDA Lifting?

Results vary by individual, but gradual improvements are typically seen over 2 weeks to 1 month as fat reduction and collagen regeneration progress.

Q. Why do some people feel that ONDA Lifting is not effective?

The thickness, distribution, and function of facial fat differ by treatment area. Applying the same treatment approach to every area may not produce the desired outcome.

Q. How long do the results of ONDA Lifting last?

A common treatment plan consists of 3 sessions at approximately 1 month intervals, and the results may last for up to 1 year. However, the duration of results varies depending on individual factors.

Q. Is ONDA Lifting effective for a double chin?

Yes. ONDA Lifting is particularly suitable for areas with concentrated fat, such as the double chin. An individualized treatment plan should be established after evaluating the amount of fat and the condition of the skin.

Q. Can ONDA Lifting also be used on the body?

Yes. In addition to the face, ONDA Lifting can be used to treat localized fat on areas such as the abdomen, thighs, and arms. The 7 mm handpiece is commonly used for body treatments.

Q. How many ONDA Lifting sessions are recommended?

In general, three sessions performed about one month apart are recommended. However, the exact number of treatments should be determined based on each individual's concerns and treatment goals.

ONDA Lifting is not simply a treatment for removing as much fat as possible. The key is to deliver the appropriate amount of energy to the areas that need treatment while maintaining overall facial balance. Even within the same face, the amount of fat, skin thickness, and the role of facial volume differ by area. Rather than treating every area in the same way, distinguishing between areas where fat should be reduced and areas where volume should be preserved helps achieve more natural facial contouring.

At AB Clinic, we carefully evaluate each patient's facial anatomy and fat distribution to create a customized treatment plan tailored to the characteristics of each treatment area, allowing for more precise and natural ONDA Lifting results.
