[Less Pain, Fast Results] Onda Lifting

Onda Lifting: What makes our approach different?

1. Pre-treatment design and handpiece planning

The medical team directly devises the lifting treatment plan. We meticulously examine areas that require skin elasticity improvement and contouring, and adjust the usage ratio of 3mm and 7mm handpieces accordingly. Areas prone to hollowing are carefully avoided, and lifting effects are intensively induced in target areas.

2. Adequate Energy Application

During facial treatments, energy can be set from 60,000 joules up to 120,000 joules. Rather than simply applying a large amount of energy, we customize the energy to suit the patient's skin condition and desired results.

3. Expert Control of Treatment Speed

Onda treatment's heat accumulation method within the skin can vary depending on the handpiece's movement speed. Our medical team aims to enhance treatment efficiency without excessive heat by adjusting slowly for areas requiring heat accumulation and quickly for sensitive areas.

4. Personalized Shot Distribution per Area

Beyond simply using two types of handpieces, we precisely distribute shots considering the patient's facial volume and fat distribution. For instance, for patients with relatively less fat, we primarily use the 3mm handpiece, while for those with more fat around the double chin or jawline, we can increase the proportion of the 7mm handpiece.

Differences in Onda Lifting Treatment Method

When performing Onda Lifting, rather than proceeding solely at 90W from the start,

we utilize a method of rapidly raising the temperature with a high output of 100-110W initially, then maintaining 90W throughout the treatment.

Subtle Differences in Treatment Approach

Reduced Skin Response Time:

Even when applying the same total energy, starting the treatment with high output results in a more rapid increase in tissue temperature.

This shortens the time to reach the energy accumulation phase,

contributing to an earlier onset of skin response.

Reduced Energy Loss in Key Response Areas:

By applying high output energy for a short duration, the target temperature can be reached before heat disperses to surrounding areas.

This allows for concentrated reactions in the dermis and fat layers without burdening the epidermis.

Time-Efficient Approach:

A 90W standalone treatment may take longer to reach the reaction phase.

Furthermore, it might require more shots to achieve a sufficient thermal reaction.

Conversely, starting with high output allows the target temperature to be reached in a shorter time,

and subsequent power adjustments can reduce the overall burden of the treatment.

Changes a Patient Can Experience:

▶ Compared to a 90W standalone treatment,

→ you can experience changes in lifting earlier.

→ you can more clearly perceive the feeling of skin tightening immediately after the treatment.

Additionally, by adjusting the output before the heat sensation rises above a certain level,

→ it can help reduce excessive pain or discomfort during the treatment.

Thus, even when using the same 60,000 joules of energy, depending on the output control method,

differences in treatment results can occur.

We aim to create the desired changes through this treatment method.

Features of Onda Lifting

Lifting and Tightening Together

Onda Lifting is a device that utilizes ultra-short pulse microwaves (2.45GHz) to deliver heat to the dermal layer and subcutaneous fat layer. Through this, you can expect both lifting and tightening effects simultaneously.

By utilizing the principle of generating frictional heat by vibrating water molecules, it can induce collagen contraction and regeneration, as well as fat cell reduction. These are key factors that lead to anticipated skin changes after treatment.

Microwaves have the characteristic of being absorbed by water within the skin to generate heat. Therefore, they can selectively deliver energy to the dermis and subcutaneous fat layer while minimizing stimulation to the epidermis.

Onda has the advantage of being able to achieve both lifting and tightening effects with a single device.

Generally, lifting procedures focus on improving facial contours, while tightening primarily targets skin texture and elasticity. Onda Lifting is designed to address both of these elements simultaneously.

How Onda Lifting Works

Onda Lifting uses 3mm and 7mm handpieces.

The 3mm handpiece delivers energy from the dermis to the subcutaneous fat boundary.

When heat is delivered to the appropriate depth, it induces the production of collagen and elastin fibers. Simultaneously, it promotes hyaluronic acid synthesis and causes existing collagen to contract, leading to positive changes in skin tightening.

Furthermore, in swollen adipose tissue, water reduction occurs, allowing changes in facial lines to be observed immediately after the procedure.

The 7mm handpiece targets the deep subcutaneous fat layer, selectively damaging fat cell membranes and inducing cell apoptosis.

Damaged fat cells are naturally expelled through the body's lymphatic circulation, which can help improve facial contours. Typically, changes begin to appear after 2-3 weeks, with more noticeable contour changes after 4 weeks, and even more satisfying results expected around 6 weeks. Once fat cells are destroyed, they do not regenerate, which is advantageous for maintaining lasting effects.

Simultaneously, it immediately contracts the retaining ligaments, allowing you to feel a lifting sensation right after the procedure.

Collagen in the dermis actively contracts at approximately 60-65 degrees Celsius. To stably deliver this temperature deep into the skin, delicate treatment techniques are crucial, involving moving the handpiece at a consistent speed to sufficiently accumulate thermal energy.

Onda Lifting's microwave energy has the characteristic of selectively absorbing only water. Thanks to this, it causes almost no stimulation to nerves or blood vessels, concentrating energy only on the water-rich tissues of fat cells and the dermis. This allows for effective lifting procedures with less pain and a lower risk of side effects.

Lifting Procedures to Consider in Combination

At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, Onda Lifting can be performed as a standalone procedure, but even more positive synergistic effects can be expected when combined with procedures like Shurink, which targets the fascial layer, or Oligio, which uses radiofrequency.

Especially when combining multiple procedures on the same day, it can reduce the time required to sufficiently accumulate heat in the skin while increasing satisfaction with the treatment results.

Director's Treatment Philosophy

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic performs Onda Lifting procedures for many individuals every day.

Nevertheless, the design of each lifting procedure is customized differently for every individual.

As the director, I constantly research and contemplate ways to provide patients with even more satisfying lifting results, even after the procedure is complete.

This is because I believe that true lifting goes beyond simply operating a device; it involves deeply understanding the skin's characteristics and the flow of facial lines, and creating natural contour changes within that understanding.

While the performance of the Onda Lifting device itself is important, I believe that the delicate skill and experience of the practitioner determine the results.

You can experience Onda Lifting at Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic.

Principle of Onda Lifting's Immediate Changes

Onda Lifting utilizes microwave energy to intensively deliver heat to a depth of 3mm in the skin's dermis and 7mm in the fat layer.

When such deep thermal energy is delivered, collagen fibers are rapidly activated at temperatures above 65 degrees Celsius, inducing immediate contraction.

You will be able to feel a lifting effect, as if your skin is being pulled, immediately after the procedure.

Without the need to wait for gradual changes,

The ability to quickly feel firmness and a lifted sensation is a strength of Onda Lifting.

Onda Lifting can be a suitable option for those who prefer such rapid changes.

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Approach to Onda Lifting

1. Precise Design and Handpiece Utilization Strategy Before Treatment

At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, we place great importance on a precise design process before Onda Lifting treatment.

The director personally consults with each patient to meticulously analyze skin elasticity, fat distribution patterns, facial volume, and the ideal lifting direction, then plans the treatment areas.

According to this designed plan, the 3mm handpiece, primarily used for dermal stimulation, and the 7mm handpiece, effective for targeting the fat layer, are appropriately applied to each area.

We go beyond merely using the device; we perform lifting procedures with a systematic, design-centered approach.

2. Sufficient Energy Delivery and Precise Control

For Onda Lifting's effectiveness, the total amount of energy used throughout the procedure is a crucial factor.

At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, we can apply various energy levels, from 60,000 joules to over 120,000 joules, for customized patient treatments. Furthermore, we meticulously plan to secure sufficient treatment time corresponding to these energy levels and implement cooling strategies to prevent skin overheating.

3. Heat Accumulation Management Through Handpiece Speed Control

In Onda Lifting, how effectively thermal energy is accumulated directly correlates with the lifting results.

At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, we maintain a slow handpiece speed during the initial phase of the procedure to ensure sufficient heat accumulation, and then adjust the speed in the latter half to minimize the risk of burns.

These treatment settings can be delicately adjusted only with the accumulation of extensive experience from the medical staff.

4. Handpiece Utilization and Shot Distribution Strategy

The approach to planning treatment shots should differ depending on whether there is a lot of fat in the cheek area or simply a loss of elasticity.

At our clinic, we carefully assess the patient's facial volume, fat location, and skin thickness to appropriately adjust the ratio of 3mm and 7mm handpiece usage.

For example, we primarily use the 7mm handpiece for the chin area, where fat is relatively abundant, and mainly apply the 3mm handpiece to the area directly below the cheekbones, where volume loss is a concern.

Beyond simply delivering energy, we establish a precise distribution strategy tailored to each individual patient for the treatment.

5. Chief Director's Treatment Design and Ongoing Research

At our clinic, we perform Onda Lifting treatments at multiple appointment times throughout the day, accumulating extensive experience.

However, the treatment design is always uniquely planned for each individual patient.

Even outside of consultation hours, our chief directors thoroughly research changes in patients' faces and consistently review energy settings and handpiece placement methods to achieve better results.

Onda Lifting can be performed in many places, but the results may vary depending on who is responsible for the treatment design.

Onda Lifting is not merely a procedure that uses equipment, but a lifting treatment that requires delicate planning by experienced medical staff.
