How to Achieve Both Onda Lifting and Fat Reduction Effects
2026-07-23
Onda Lifting is a lifting procedure that simultaneously stimulates collagen and fat using microwave technology.
The 3mm handpiece helps with collagen tightening, while the 7mm handpiece aids in fat reduction and contouring.
It is recommended to undergo 3 sessions at 4-6 week intervals, with effects lasting 8-12 months.
Hello, this is Derna Clinic.
Every year, concerns about skin care deepen. Especially as we age, we notice changes in our skin such as loss of elasticity and blurred facial contours. If you have these concerns, you may have heard of 'Onda Lifting' at least once.
Today, I will tell you about Onda Lifting, which helps improve clear facial contours and elasticity.
How Does Onda Lifting Show Its Effects?
Onda Lifting uses ultra-short wave energy to induce a thermal response deep within the skin layers. It can deliver energy deeper than conventional radiofrequency, reaching the lower dermis and subcutaneous fat layers, allowing for simultaneous collagen regeneration and fat breakdown. Onda's patented technology, Coolwaves, stimulates the skin with heat while protecting the surface with cooling, helping to reduce pain during the procedure.
What is the Difference Between the 3mm & 7mm Handpieces?
The Onda handpieces are divided into two types: 3mm and 7mm. Even with the same device, the skin layers reached differ depending on the handpiece used, so they are selectively used based on the area and skin condition.
💛3mm Handpiece - Targeting Collagen
It precisely stimulates collagen fibers located in the epidermis and upper dermis. Collagen fibers act as a support structure between the epidermis and dermis. As we age, these collagen fibers lose strength, weakening the structure that supports the skin, leading to loss of elasticity and the formation of wrinkles. The Onda 3mm handpiece helps contract these collagen fibers and encourages new collagen production, aiding in strengthening the overall skin structure.
💛7mm Handpiece - Fat Reduction and Contour Improvement
It delivers energy to the subcutaneous fat layer, precisely stimulating fat cells. It is suitable for improving areas where unnecessary fat accumulates, such as double chins, nasolabial folds, and cheek fat. Especially, by directly delivering thermal stimulation to fat cells, it can help clarify facial contours.
Expected Effects of Onda Lifting
Onda Lifting can provide three main types of effects.
💛Skin Tightening and Lifting
💛Improvement of Pores and Wrinkles
💛Promotion of Self-Collagen Production
💛Reduction of Fat Cells
Immediately after the procedure, you can relatively quickly notice the contouring effect due to fat cell reduction. After about 2-3 weeks, collagen production becomes active, and you can experience overall improvements in skin elasticity, pore size, wrinkles, and skin texture. It can also be applied to body line management such as arms, abdomen, and sides along with the face. The improved effects may vary by individual, but they often last for about 8-12 months.
Why is the Amount of Energy Important for Onda Lifting Effects?
The effects of Onda Lifting can vary significantly depending on the amount of energy delivered. Sufficient energy must be transmitted to provide substantial thermal stimulation to the dermis and subcutaneous fat layers, which in turn enhances collagen regeneration and fat breakdown.
However, the appropriate amount of energy varies for each individual based on factors such as skin thickness, elasticity, degree of aging, treatment area, and fat volume, making it difficult to determine uniformly. Therefore, it is important to accurately assess the skin condition before the procedure and ensure that the energy settings can be finely adjusted to match individual conditions.
Who Should Consider Onda Lifting?
Onda Lifting is particularly sought after by those who want lifting effects but find surgery burdensome, or those who wish to avoid painful procedures with long recovery times.
✔️Those who feel their facial contours have collapsed compared to before
✔️Those who are concerned about sagging cheeks or jawlines
✔️Those who are worried about chubby cheeks
✔️Those who want to reduce double chins or deep cheek fat without surgery
✔️Those who prefer procedures with less pain
How to Maintain the Effects of Onda Lifting for a Long Time?
The effects of Onda Lifting become more pronounced when accumulated rather than just from a single session. For first-time recipients, it is recommended to consistently receive the initial 3 sessions at 4-6 week intervals. Since the skin is in a state of initial stimulation, an adjustment period is needed for recovery and activation. It is beneficial to think of it as gradually building up stimulation to awaken the skin structure again.
For those who have already received multiple sessions, you can adjust according to maintenance periods or important schedules. However, considering the duration of effect maintenance, it is not recommended to exceed one year from the last session.
Naturally Defined Facial Lines and Firm Skin Elasticity
For those who want to restore their facial features more clearly, Onda Lifting can be helpful. However, even with similar concerns, the direction of treatment may vary depending on skin condition and lifestyle. At Derna Clinic, we thoroughly analyze skin conditions using the AI-based diagnostic device EVE V MUSE and provide personalized designs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Does Onda Lifting really work? How quickly can I feel the effects?
Immediately after the procedure, you may feel a slight contouring effect along with reduced swelling due to fat cell stimulation. However, the point at which you actually feel collagen regeneration and improvements in elasticity, pore size, and fine wrinkles is usually around 2-3 weeks later. It is a type of procedure that shows gradual changes over time rather than immediate dramatic results, so it is recommended to plan with some flexibility rather than for urgent schedules.
Q. What is the price of Onda Lifting?
The price of Onda Lifting varies depending on the amount of energy delivered and the treatment area (full face vs. partial). Even with the same name 'Onda Lifting', the actual number of lines delivered can differ from clinic to clinic, so it is better to check and compare not just the total price but also "what is the price based on how many lines (kJ)". You can check the price of Onda Lifting at Derna Clinic on the event page.

Q. I heard Onda Lifting is painful, how much pain is there?
Onda delivers microwave energy while cooling the skin surface temperature, so many people feel it as a warm sensation rather than hot. It is common to proceed without a separate numbing cream, which also makes the overall procedure time shorter. However, pain sensitivity varies by individual, so it may feel different depending on the area and amount of energy, so it is advisable to inform the clinic in advance if you are sensitive to pain.
Q. What is 'line (kJ)' in Onda Lifting? Is it different from the number of shots?
Procedures like Ultherapy or Serf typically calculate in 'shots', but Onda indicates the total amount of energy delivered in 'Joules'. For example, 60,000 Joules (60kJ), 100,000 Joules (100kJ), etc. Having a high number of Joules does not necessarily mean it is better; it is more important to design the appropriate amount based on skin condition and goals (whether it focuses more on collagen stimulation or fat reduction).
Q. Are there any side effects of Onda Lifting?
Onda is a non-invasive procedure with minimal downtime, but since it delivers thermal stimulation to the dermis and fat layers using microwave energy, temporary redness, warmth, and slight swelling may occur after the procedure. Rarely, bruising or temporary skin sensitivity may also occur. These reactions generally subside within a few days, but if the amount of energy is set excessively compared to individual skin conditions, the risk of side effects may increase, making prior skin diagnosis essential.
Q. How long do the effects of Onda Lifting last?
You can feel the effects for a certain period even with just one session, but the maintenance period may be relatively short. In contrast, if you complete the recommended cycle (3 sessions at 4-6 week intervals), the collagen regeneration effects tend to accumulate, leading to a longer maintenance period. However, the maintenance period may vary depending on individual skin aging speed, lifestyle habits, and sun exposure.
Q. How does Onda Lifting differ from Ultherapy, Thermage, and Inmode?
Ultherapy uses ultrasound (HIFU), while Thermage and Inmode use radiofrequency (RF) energy to induce thermal reactions. Onda utilizes microwave (ultra-short wave) energy, which generates heat by vibrating water molecules, resulting in differences in energy delivery paths and reaction areas. In particular, Onda has the characteristic that the same frequency range is absorbed by fat cells, making it often considered when approaching both collagen stimulation and fat reduction. Rather than determining which device is better, it is recommended to compare based on skin concerns and goals after diagnosis.
Q. Does Onda Lifting work on double chins and cheek fat?
The 7mm handpiece delivers energy to the subcutaneous fat layer, stimulating fat cells, and is often used for contouring areas with localized fat, such as double chins and cheek fat. However, the degree of change experienced may vary depending on the amount of fat and skin elasticity, and if the amount of fat is not significant, the expected changes may not occur.
Q. After Onda Lifting, how long does swelling last? What about actual line changes?
Immediately after the procedure, there may be slight swelling or tingling, but it usually subsides within a day or two. Actual line changes are often felt from 2-4 weeks, as collagen regeneration reactions become more pronounced, leading to improvements in elasticity, pore size, and skin texture. However, please note that the experience of these effects can vary significantly based on individual skin conditions, energy settings, and the number of sessions.
