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.
