ONDA Lifting,

Where Should You Get It

for Different Results?

Please Check First

Q. Can you get ONDA Lifting anywhere

and get similar results?

A. Even with the same device name, the actual device generation,

parameter settings, and the way the combined program is structured

can make the results clearly different.

The first thing is to check whether the device is actually available.

Q. Isn't lifting the same as improving elasticity?

A. No, they are different.

Because the depth of action and target tissue are different,

you need a program designed with a different energy delivery

method to address both at the same time.

"Beautystone Hongdae Branch

has specialized ONDA Lifting equipment, and

offers customized programs for those who want

lifting effects and improved skin elasticity

at the same time."

What Is ONDA Lifting?

ONDA Lifting (ONDA Remodeling)

uses microwave energy

to act simultaneously on the deep dermis and the subcutaneous fat layer,

making it a non-invasive skin remodeling device.

If high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) devices

concentrate energy in a 'point' unit,

ONDA uniformly heats tissue in a 'surface' unit,

approaching dermal collagen regeneration and subcutaneous fat remodeling

at the same time.

Lifting Effects and Elasticity Improvement,

Why Aren't They the Same?

This is a part many people misunderstand,

and quite a few ask, "If it lifted, doesn't that mean the elasticity improved too?"

The tricky part is that

lifting is mainly focused on lifting the SMAS layer (superficial musculoaponeurotic system)

and structures in the lower dermis,

while

it is focused on lifting structures in the lower dermis,

elasticity improvement is work that increases the

density of collagen and elastin in the middle dermis.

Simply put, lifting corrects the 'position,' and

elasticity improvement changes the 'texture.'

The depth and target are different.

But there's one important thing here.

ONDA Lifting's microwave energy

has the characteristic of penetrating uniformly down to the deep dermal layer

without reflection at the skin surface.

Thanks to that, dermal remodeling (elasticity) and

fat layer volume modulation (lifting)

can be addressed at the same time with one procedure.

Honestly,

not every device can handle both at once.

HIFU devices are strong for lifting, but

they have limits in reaching the depth needed for elasticity improvement,

while RF devices are good for elasticity, but

their structural lifting effect is relatively weaker.

It varies by case,

but this is usually how I explain it.

"If sagging is more of a concern than a pulling sensation,

ONDA is a suitable first choice.

If both sagging and skin texture are a concern,

it's better to go with a combined program."

Key Takeaway

ONDA Lifting

allows microwaves to reach the dermis and subcutaneous fat layer

uniformly at the same time,

so it is a structure that can address

lifting and elasticity improvement at once.

However, this advantage is realized only when it is used at a facility

that actually has the device and sets the proper parameters.

Beautystone Hongdae Branch

directly has dedicated ONDA Lifting equipment, and

operates a customized program tailored to

each client's skin condition.

We Recommend a Customized ONDA Lifting

Program for

These People

Honestly, expecting ONDA Lifting alone

to solve everything is too much to ask.

It's not always the best answer.

If skin laxity has progressed significantly,

or if volume loss is the main cause,

ONDA Lifting alone may not be

enough.

However, if you fall into the types below,

a customized ONDA Lifting program is

a practical choice.

✔ Those who clearly feel sagging, but

do not have severe volume loss

✔ Those who want both elasticity and lifting, but

want to minimize downtime

✔ Those who previously had Ultherapy or Thermage,

and saw improved elasticity but still have sagging

✔ Those in their mid-30s to 50s who want

preventive care

Among people who come in saying that

they weren't satisfied even after getting treatments multiple times elsewhere,

many said they clearly felt a difference after 2~3 sessions

when they first approached it with ONDA.

I think the device and program design

were the right fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. Can ONDA Lifting be done on the entire face,

and can specific areas be selected?

A. Yes, specific areas can be selected.

Depending on the case, the focus area can be designed differently, such as

the full face, cheeks and jawline, or the eye area and forehead.

The treatment time and settings vary,

so it's best to confirm during consultation.

Q2. How many sessions are needed, and how long do the results last?

A. We usually start with 1~2 sessions

and decide whether to add more after checking the skin's response.

The results become clearer

1~2 months after the procedure than immediately after.

The results usually last

about 6 months to over 1 year.

Q3. Are there any precautions or side effects after the procedure?

A. One important thing I must mention is that

ONDA usually has little to no downtime, but

temporary redness or mild swelling may appear

immediately after the procedure.

There are almost no restrictions on returning to daily life.

However, it is best to avoid strenuous exercise, saunas,

and alcohol on the day of the procedure.

If you are pregnant or have

metal implants in the treatment area,

please be sure to let us know in advance.

I recommend discussing it thoroughly before

making your decision.
