Onda Lifting: How does it work?

1. Customized Design and Handpiece Strategy
Our medical team directly designs the patient's lifting plan. We meticulously identify areas needing elasticity improvement and contour refinement, precisely applying 3mm and 7mm handpieces. We avoid areas where cheek hollowness is a concern and focus more intensively on areas requiring skin tightening.

2. Appropriate Energy Application
For facial treatments, energy can be set from 60,000 to 120,000 joules. Rather than simply applying a high amount of energy, we delicately adjust the energy based on the patient's skin condition and desired results.

3. Skilled Speed Control
The effectiveness of Onda Lifting can vary depending on the speed of the handpiece movement. Areas requiring heat accumulation are treated slowly, while sensitive areas are treated quickly, inducing efficient results without unnecessary overheating.

4. Area-Specific Shot Distribution Adjustment
Beyond simply using 3mm/7mm handpieces, shots are precisely distributed according to the patient's facial volume and fat distribution. For example, areas with less fat may primarily use the 3mm handpiece, while areas with a double chin or more fat along the jawline may have an increased proportion of 7mm shots.

Differences in Onda Lifting Treatment
When performing Onda Lifting, instead of treating solely with 90W from the start,
we initially apply a high output of 100-110W to rapidly raise the temperature, then maintain it at 90W.

Characteristics of the Treatment Method
Shortened Skin Response Time Effect:
Even when delivering the same total energy, starting with high output causes tissue temperature to rise more quickly.
This shortens the time required to reach the necessary energy accumulation range,
and skin tissue response can begin sooner.

Reduced Energy Loss in Core Areas:
Applying high output for a short duration allows the target temperature to be reached before heat disperses to surrounding areas.
This is expected to induce an efficient response primarily in the dermis and fat layers while minimizing epidermal damage.

Increased Efficiency Compared to Treatment Time:
A standalone 90W treatment may take longer to reach the reaction range,
and a higher number of shots might be required to achieve sufficient thermal response.
Conversely, starting with high output allows the necessary heat to be reached in a shorter time,
and subsequent power adjustments help ensure treatment stability.

What Patients Experience:
Compared to a typical standalone 90W treatment method,
you may feel the lifting effect sooner,
and experience a more tightened and firmer skin immediately after the procedure.
Furthermore, because the output is adjusted before the heat sensation rises above a certain level,
it can reduce excessive pain or discomfort during the treatment.
Consequently, even with the same 60,000 joules, the treatment results can vary
depending on the output adjustment method.
These subtle differences can influence treatment satisfaction.

Key Features of Onda Lifting

Simultaneous Lifting and Tightening Action
Onda Lifting uses ultra-shortwave microwaves (2.45GHz) to deliver thermal energy to the skin's dermis and subcutaneous fat layers. This device offers both lifting and tightening effects.

Microwaves vibrate the water molecules within the skin, generating frictional heat. This principle helps induce collagen contraction and production, as well as changes in fat cells, which can lead to improved skin elasticity.

Microwaves have the characteristic of being selectively absorbed by water within the skin to generate heat. Thanks to this, it's possible to deliver deep and concentrated heat to the dermis and subcutaneous fat layers while minimizing irritation to the skin's surface.

Onda Lifting is characterized by its ability to perform both lifting and tightening treatments simultaneously with a single device.

이로 인해 필요한 에너지 축적 구간에 도달하는 시간이 짧아지고,

피부 조직의 반응이 더 빨리 시작될 수 있습니다.

핵심 부위에서 에너지 손실 감소:

고출력을 짧은 시간 적용하면 열이 주변으로 퍼지기 전에 목표 온도에 도달할 수 있습니다.

이를 통해 표피 손상을 줄이면서 진피층과 지방층을 중심으로 효율적인 반응을 유도하는 것이 기대됩니다.

시술 시간 대비 효율 증대:

90W 단독 시술은 반응 구간까지 시간이 더 오래 걸릴 수 있으며,

충분한 열반응을 얻기 위해 더 많은 샷 수를 사용해야 할 수도 있습니다.

반면, 고출력으로 시작하는 방식은 짧은 시간 안에 필요한 열에 도달하게 해주며,

이후 출력 조절을 통해 시술의 안정성을 확보하는 데 도움이 됩니다.

환자분들이 느끼는 부분:

일반적인 90W 단독 시술 방식과 비교할 때,

리프팅 효과를 좀 더 일찍 느끼실 수 있으며,

시술 직후 피부가 더욱 탄탄하게 조여지는 느낌을 경험하실 수 있습니다.

또한, 열감이 일정 수준 이상으로 오르기 전에 출력을 조절하기 때문에

시술 중 통증이나 불편감이 과도해지는 것을 줄일 수 있습니다.

결과적으로 같은 6만 줄이라 하더라도, 출력 조절 방법에 따라

시술 결과는 다르게 나타날 수 있습니다.

이러한 미세한 차이가 시술 만족도에 영향을 줄 수 있습니다.

온다리프팅의 주요 기능

리프팅과 타이트닝 동시 작용

온다리프팅은 극초단파 마이크로웨이브(2.45GHz)를 이용하여 피부 진피층과 피하지방층에 열에너지를 전달합니다. 이는 리프팅과 타이트닝 효과를 함께 기대할 수 있는 장비입니다.

마이크로웨이브는 피부 속 수분을 진동시켜 마찰열을 발생시키며, 이 원리를 통해 콜라겐 수축 및 생성 촉진, 그리고 지방세포의 변화를 유도하여 피부 탄력 개선을 기대할 수 있습니다.

마이크로웨이브는 피부 내 수분에 선택적으로 흡수되어 열을 생성하는 특성이 있습니다. 이 덕분에 피부 표면의 자극은 줄이면서 진피층과 피하지방층에 깊고 집중적인 열을 전달하는 것이 가능합니다.

온다 리프팅은 하나의 장비를 통해 리프팅과 타이트닝 관리가 동시에 이루어질 수 있는 점이 특징입니다.

Generally, lifting focuses on contour improvement, while tightening concentrates on improving skin texture and elasticity. Onda treatment is designed to address both these aspects simultaneously.

Key Mechanism of Action for Onda Lifting

Onda Lifting utilizes two handpieces: 3mm and 7mm.

The 3mm handpiece delivers energy to the boundary between the dermis and the subcutaneous fat layer.

When thermal energy is delivered to this depth, it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin fibers. Additionally, it aids in hyaluronic acid production and induces the contraction of existing collagen, leading to an immediate tightening effect on the skin.

Furthermore, edematous fat may show immediate contour changes due to water loss.

The 7mm handpiece reaches deep into the subcutaneous fat layer, selectively damaging fat cell membranes and inducing cell death.

Damaged fat cells are expelled from the body through lymphatic circulation. This allows for an improvement in facial contour. Changes typically begin to appear around 2-3 weeks after the procedure, with noticeable contour differences by about 4 weeks. Since dead fat cells do not regenerate, a long-lasting effect is also a characteristic.

This handpiece immediately contracts the retaining ligaments, potentially showing a lifting effect right after the procedure.

Temperature control is a crucial factor in treatment results. Dermal collagen is induced to contract within the range of approximately 60-65 degrees Celsius. To reach this optimal temperature, treatment expertise is required to move the handpiece slowly and accumulate sufficient energy.

Onda's microwave energy has the unique characteristic of selectively absorbing only water. This generates concentrated heat specifically in the water layers of fat cells and the dermis, while minimally stimulating nerves or blood vessels. Consequently, it can be a lifting procedure that reduces pain discomfort and lowers the possibility of side effects.

Combination Treatments for Synergistic Effects

Onda Lifting can be performed alone, but synergistic effects can be expected when combined with other treatments such as Shurink (focused on the fascial layer) or Oligio (tightening using radiofrequency).

Especially when performing multiple treatments on the same day, efficiently utilizing heat accumulation time can potentially lead to more satisfactory results.

Our Medical Team's Treatment Philosophy

Our medical team performs Onda Lifting treatments multiple times a day.

However, the lifting design is always customized for each patient's individual face.

Our medical team constantly researches how to provide even better results after the treatment is completed.

We believe that true lifting treatment goes beyond simply operating a device; it involves deeply understanding the patient's skin texture and flow, and creating harmonious contour changes within that context.

Onda Lifting's results depend not just on the equipment's performance, but on the skill and expertise of the medical professional performing the treatment.

Our medical team approaches treatments with this philosophy.

Principle of Onda Lifting's Immediate Effects

Onda Lifting precisely delivers heat to a depth of 3mm or 7mm within the skin using microwave energy.

During this process, collagen fibers are rapidly heated to temperatures exceeding 65 degrees Celsius, showing immediate contraction.

Consequently, changes in the lifting effect may be visible immediately after the treatment.

Unlike some treatments that require waiting for gradual changes,

one of Onda Lifting's key features is the ability to feel elasticity and a lifting sensation immediately after the procedure.

This treatment can be considered for those who expect relatively fast changes.

Onda Lifting Treatment Process

1. Personalized Design and Handpiece Utilization Plan

At our clinic, we place great importance on the precise design process before treatment.

Our medical team personally consults with each patient, thoroughly analyzing skin elasticity, fat distribution, volume, and lifting direction to meticulously plan the treatment areas.

Based on this analysis, the 3mm handpiece (primarily acting on the dermis) and the 7mm handpiece (primarily acting on the fat layer) are adjusted and used according to each specific area.

This can be described as a strategic lifting treatment centered around design, rather than simply operating a device.

2. Optimal Energy Delivery and Precise Treatment Settings

In Onda Lifting treatment, the total energy delivered is a crucial aspect.

We customize the energy delivered from 60,000 joules to over 120,000 joules for each individual. We also ensure sufficient treatment time and meticulously plan cooling strategies to prevent excessive heat accumulation.

3. Handpiece Speed and Heat Accumulation Control

The effectiveness of Onda treatment depends on how well thermal energy is accumulated deep within the skin.

In the initial stages of the treatment, the medical team moves the handpiece at a slow speed to ensure sufficient heat accumulation. Subsequently, they switch to a faster speed to reduce the risk of overheating the skin surface.

The precise operation of the procedure stems from the medical team's skilled experience.

4. Handpiece and Shot Strategy tailored to individual skin conditions

If your main concern is excessive facial volume or simply reduced elasticity, different shot strategies are required.

At our clinic, we adjust the usage ratio of 3mm and 7mm handpieces, considering skin thickness, fat distribution, and the overall volume of the face.

For example, we primarily use the 7mm handpiece for the jawline, where fat tends to accumulate, and focus on the 3mm handpiece for the area below the cheekbones, where hollowing might be a concern.

We apply a precise distribution strategy tailored to each individual's characteristics, rather than a standardized treatment method.

5. Meticulous Treatment Design and Continuous Research by the Head Doctor and Medical Team

At our clinic, we perform Onda Lifting procedures based on extensive experience and know-how gained from numerous treatments.

However, we do not apply the same design to all patients.

Even outside of consultation hours, the head doctor and medical team anticipate changes in the patient's facial contours and continuously review energy settings and handpiece placement strategies for better results.

The results of Onda Lifting can vary depending on the medical team's treatment plan.

This is not simply a procedure that relies on equipment, but one where the medical team's skilled technique is crucial.
