Onda Lifting [Lower Pain Burden, Faster Results]

What makes Onda Lifting at Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic unique?

1. Customized design and handpiece strategy before treatment

At our clinic, our medical team directly and meticulously designs each patient's lifting treatment. We carefully analyze areas needing skin elasticity improvement and contouring, making efficient use of both 3mm and 7mm handpieces. We avoid areas where cheek hollowing might occur and precisely apply energy to areas requiring tightening, creating a tailored treatment plan.

2. Sufficient delivery of necessary energy

For facial areas, energy can be adjusted and applied from 60,000 to 120,000 joules. Instead of simply delivering high energy, we consider each patient's unique skin condition and desired outcomes to determine the optimal energy distribution and create a personalized treatment plan.

3. Precise Handpiece Speed Control

The results of Onda treatment can vary depending on the speed of the handpiece movement. At our clinic, we deliver energy by moving the handpiece slightly slower in areas where heat accumulation is beneficial, and faster in more sensitive areas. This approach helps to effectively provide the necessary stimulation to your skin while minimizing any excessive heat sensation.

4. Customized Shot Distribution per Area

Beyond simply using 3mm and 7mm handpieces, we meticulously distribute shots by carefully considering each patient's unique facial volume and fat distribution. For instance, for individuals with less facial fat, we primarily use the 3mm handpiece. However, for those with more fat in areas like the double chin or below the jawline, we increase the proportion of 7mm handpiece application.

Precision in Onda Lifting Treatment Method

At our clinic, when performing Onda Lifting treatments, instead of consistently treating with only 90W output from the very beginning,

we utilize a method where we quickly raise the skin tissue temperature with an initial high output of 100-110W, and then adjust the output to 90W to maintain that temperature.

The unique differences in our clinic's treatment approach are as follows:

Reduced Time to Achieve Skin Response:

Even if the total energy delivered is the same, starting the treatment with a higher output can cause the tissue temperature in the treated area to rise more rapidly.

This helps to shorten the time it takes to reach the necessary energy accumulation threshold.

Consequently, the skin tissue can begin to react sooner.

Minimizing Energy Loss in the Key Reaction Zone:

Delivering energy with a high output for a short period allows the target temperature to be reached before the thermal energy widely disperses into surrounding tissues.

This helps to achieve the desired response primarily in the dermis and subcutaneous fat layers without over-stimulating the epidermis.

Efficiency Gained from Shorter Treatment Time:

If treatment is performed only with a 90W output, it may take more time to reach the desired reaction zone.

This implies that more shots might be needed to induce a sufficient thermal response.

Conversely, starting the treatment with a high output efficiently delivers the necessary thermal energy in a shorter amount of time, and

subsequent output adjustment allows for an approach that also prioritizes treatment safety.

Expected Benefits Patients Can Experience:

Compared to the 90W-only treatment method,

you can expect to feel the lifting effect more quickly.

You can experience a clearer sensation of your skin tightening firmly right after the treatment.

Because the output is adjusted before the heat sensation rises above a certain level during the treatment,

it helps to control any potential pain or discomfort during the treatment, preventing it from becoming excessive.

In conclusion, even when using the same total energy (e.g., 60,000 joules), the results can vary depending on the output control method.

there can be differences in treatment results.

At our clinic, we strive to ensure that these subtle differences positively influence your treatment results.

Key Characteristics of Onda Lifting

Expect Combined Lifting and Tightening Effects

Onda Lifting utilizes 2.45GHz ultra-high frequency microwaves to precisely deliver thermal energy to both the dermis and subcutaneous fat layers. This treatment device is designed to simultaneously provide both lifting and tightening effects.

This treatment is based on the principle of vibrating water molecules within the skin, similar to how a microwave works, to generate frictional heat. It helps with collagen contraction and new collagen production, and contributes to reducing fat cells, allowing you to expect immediate lifting effects.

Microwave energy has the unique characteristic of being selectively absorbed by water in the skin, generating heat. Thanks to this, it can effectively deliver the necessary energy to the dermis and subcutaneous fat layers while causing relatively minimal stimulation to the epidermis.

One of the major advantages of Onda treatment is its ability to induce both lifting and tightening effects simultaneously using just one device.

Lifting mainly focuses on refining facial contours, while tightening improves skin texture and elasticity. Onda treatment is designed to consider both these elements simultaneously.

Key Principles of Onda Lifting

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

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

When thermal energy is delivered to this depth, it can induce the production of collagen and elastin fibers. Additionally, it promotes hyaluronic acid synthesis and causes existing collagen fibers to contract, allowing for an immediate skin tightening effect.

During this process, water content in edematous fat decreases, which can lead to noticeable changes in facial lines immediately after the procedure.

The 7mm handpiece is designed to reach deeper into the subcutaneous fat layer, selectively damaging fat cell membranes and inducing cell apoptosis.

Damaged fat cells are naturally expelled from the body through lymphatic circulation, which helps to refine facial contours. Changes may begin around 2-3 weeks after the procedure, with contour improvement visible by approximately 4 weeks, and the effect potentially becoming even more pronounced after 6 weeks. Since the apoptotic fat cells do not regenerate, this effect can be relatively long-lasting.

Furthermore, it induces immediate contraction of the retaining ligaments, allowing for a lifting effect to be experienced right after the procedure.

Importance of Temperature Control: Collagen in the skin's dermal layer typically begins to contract at temperatures around 60-65 degrees Celsius. To effectively induce this temperature, skilled technique is crucial: moving the handpiece slowly and at a consistent speed to allow sufficient thermal energy to accumulate within the skin.

Microwaves have the characteristic of selectively absorbing water. This allows for focused heat delivery primarily to the water content within fat cells and the dermal layer, with minimal stimulation to nerves or blood vessels. Consequently, this helps minimize pain during the procedure and reduces the likelihood of side effects, enabling a relatively comfortable lifting treatment.

Treatments to Consider in Conjunction with Onda Lifting

At Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic, Onda Lifting can be performed alone, but when combined with Shurink (which targets the fascia layer) or Oligio (a high-frequency tightening treatment), even more effective results can be expected.

Especially when both treatments are performed on the same day, the time required for heat accumulation is reduced, which can lessen the burden of the procedure and contribute to greater satisfaction.

Our Medical Team's Philosophy

At Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic, we perform multiple Onda Lifting procedures every day.

Nevertheless, we design personalized lifting treatments differently for each and every patient's unique facial structure.

Even after the procedure is complete, our medical team continuously contemplates how to deliver even more satisfying lifting results.

This is because we believe that true lifting treatment goes beyond simply operating a device; it involves a deep understanding of skin characteristics and dynamics, and a delicate design of facial contour changes tailored to each individual patient.

The results of Onda Lifting do not solely depend on the device itself, but rather can show a difference through the delicate touch of skilled medical professionals.

Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic aims for a delicate approach to Onda Lifting treatments.

How Does Onda Lifting Deliver Rapid Changes?

Onda Lifting utilizes microwave energy to selectively concentrate heat at depths of 3mm and 7mm in the skin.

This heat delivery rapidly heats collagen fibers to over 65 degrees Celsius, which can induce immediate collagen contraction.

In some cases, improvements in skin elasticity and lifting effects can be felt immediately after the procedure.

Unlike some treatments that require waiting for gradual changes,

One of the characteristics of Onda Lifting is that improvements in elasticity and lifting can be perceived relatively early after the procedure.

For those seeking relatively fast results, Onda Lifting can be a viable option.

Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic's Approach to Onda Lifting

1. Customized Design and Handpiece Strategy Before Treatment

Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic emphasizes precise design planning before Onda Lifting procedures.

Our medical team directly consults with patients to comprehensively analyze their skin elasticity, fat distribution, facial volume, and the necessary lifting direction. Based on this analysis, we carefully plan the appropriate treatment areas for each individual.

Accordingly, the 3mm handpiece, which focuses on dermal stimulation, and the 7mm handpiece, which targets the fat layer, are delicately applied to specific areas of the face.

We go beyond simply operating a device; we perform strategic lifting treatments centered on a design optimized for each individual patient's face.

2. Appropriate Energy Application and Detailed Treatment Settings

For effective Onda Lifting results, the total amount of energy delivered during the procedure is crucial.

At Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic, we meticulously adjust the energy delivered, ranging from 60,000 to over 120,000 joules, according to each patient's condition. Along with this, adequate treatment time and a cooling strategy to prevent overheating are also carefully planned.

3. Handpiece Speed and Heat Accumulation Control

The lifting effect of Onda treatment is closely related to the sufficient accumulation of thermal energy within the skin.

At Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic, during the initial stages of treatment, the handpiece is moved relatively slowly to ensure sufficient heat accumulation. Subsequently, the speed is adjusted to reduce the risk of burns to the treated area.

The skilled experience of the practitioner plays a crucial role in these treatment settings.

4. Handpiece Utilization and Shot Planning

Different shot plans are required for cases with excessive cheek fat versus those with only reduced skin elasticity.

By carefully understanding the volume, fat distribution, and skin thickness, 3mm and 7mm handpieces are used in appropriate proportions.

For example, the 7mm handpiece is primarily used for the jawline, where there is relatively more fat, while the 3mm handpiece is mainly utilized for the area directly below the cheekbones, where hollowing might be a concern.

It proceeds not as a simple treatment survey, but as a patient-specific distribution strategy.

5. Doctors' Meticulous Design and Continuous Research

We are accumulating extensive experience, with Onda Lifting procedures performed during every daily appointment.

However, the treatment design is always applied differently.

Even outside of consultation hours, our doctors simulate changes in patients' faces and continuously research energy settings and handpiece placements that can enhance effectiveness.

Anyone can undergo Onda Lifting, but individual differences in treatment results may appear depending on the design used.

Onda Lifting is not just a simple device treatment; it is a procedure where the design by skilled medical staff is crucial.
