ONDA Lifting in Seoul

Quick answer: ONDA Lifting is a non-surgical contouring treatment from DEKA (Italy) that uses Coolwaves™ microwave energy to tighten the dermis and reduce excess subcutaneous fat in the same session, on the face or body. At AMRED Clinic in Cheongdam, Seoul, your doctor selects the 3 mm or 7 mm handpiece after 3D facial analysis and a 1:1 consultation, for areas such as cheek and buccal fat, a double chin, the arms or abdomen.

What is ONDA Lifting?

ONDA is a contouring and lifting system developed by DEKA, an Italian medical laser company, and built around its proprietary Coolwaves™ microwave technology. In Korea it is often marketed as "ONDA laser" or ultra-shortwave lifting, but the energy it delivers is microwave, not laser light.

Its distinguishing feature is that fat, firmness and contour are treated in one session. AMRED presents ONDA as a comfortable option with minimal swelling and uses the same device for face and body.

How does ONDA microwave lifting work?

Coolwaves™ energy is directed into two layers. In the superficial dermis, controlled heat contracts and regenerates collagen to tighten the skin. In the deeper fat layer, higher-intensity energy breaks down fat cells to reduce volume and improve skin density. Real-time temperature sensors and a cooling system protect the surface throughout.

  • 3 mm handpiece – shallower, typically chosen for thinner areas and dermal tightening
  • 7 mm handpiece – deeper, typically chosen where there is more fat to reduce

AMRED's own guidance notes that an energy figure such as 10 kJ does not define a treatment by itself; the area, fat thickness and your goal matter as much.

Key benefits of ONDA

  • Refines contours and improves skin firmness in one treatment
  • Reduces excess fat in areas such as the cheeks, buccal region and under the chin
  • Surface cooling and temperature sensing for a comfortable session with minimal swelling
  • One device for both facial and body contouring
  • Handpiece depth matched to your anatomy and goal

Who is ONDA Lifting for?

  • Fullness from cheek fat, buccal fat or a double chin
  • People who want to address fat, firmness and contour together
  • Those who prefer a low-discomfort lift with little visible swelling
  • First-time lifting patients looking for a visible change
  • People who also want to contour body areas such as the arms or abdomen

Why choose AMRED for ONDA Lifting in Seoul?

With fat-reducing treatments, planning separates a refined result from a hollow one, so every ONDA plan starts with AMRED's Bespoke Diagnostic Process.

  • AI skin analysis: EVE V measures skin density, aging and 3D contours, including where fullness sits.
  • 1:1 doctor consultation: a doctor decides whether ONDA, a tightening device or a combination suits you, and which handpiece and areas to treat.
  • Bespoke Report: your plan and its expected direction, documented.

With 69 devices across lifting, skin and body care, AMRED recommends ONDA when fat and firmness are the real issue, not by default. Care includes a private suite, a dedicated consultant, valet parking and post-treatment feedback.

What happens during an ONDA Lifting session?

  1. Analysis and consultation – EVE V scan and a doctor review of fat, laxity and goals.
  2. Design – zones are marked and the 3 mm or 7 mm handpiece is chosen for each.
  3. Preparation – the skin is cleansed; comfort options such as icing can be arranged.
  4. Treatment – Coolwaves™ energy is delivered while sensors track skin temperature.
  5. Soothing and follow-up – calming care, aftercare guidance and progress feedback.

What is recovery like after ONDA?

AMRED describes ONDA as a treatment with minimal swelling, and most people return to normal routines straight away. Treated areas may feel warm or tender for a short time. General guidance usually includes:

  • Drink plenty of water and keep skin moisturized
  • Use sunscreen and avoid strong sun
  • Skip saunas, hot baths and intense exercise for a few days
  • Hold off on other facial procedures until your doctor confirms timing

Contour changes typically develop over the following weeks as treated fat is cleared and collagen remodels.

ONDA Lifting FAQ

Is ONDA a laser treatment?

No. Although often called "ONDA laser" in Korea, ONDA uses DEKA's Coolwaves™ microwave energy, which heats tissue differently from radiofrequency or laser light.

Does ONDA Lifting hurt?

AMRED presents ONDA as a low-pain option because temperature sensors and surface cooling protect the skin. You may feel warmth, and extra comfort options can be arranged if you are sensitive.

Can ONDA reduce a double chin or buccal fat?

ONDA is designed for concerns such as cheek fat, buccal fat and a double chin. Suitability depends on fat thickness and skin laxity, which your doctor assesses first.

Should I choose ONDA or Shurink for a double chin?

Both can help the lower face. ONDA uses microwave energy on fat and the dermis, while Shurink Universe is a HIFU lifting device, so AMRED chooses based on how much fat versus sagging is present.

Can international patients book ONDA at AMRED in English?

Yes. You can arrange a consultation in English via WhatsApp (+82 10-2002-3118) or amredworld@gmail.com, and AMRED is a registered facility for international patients (M-2022-01-086580).
