Onda Lifting: Is It Right for Everyone?
Hello, I am Dr. Lee Jong-jin, head director of Ceramique Clinic.
Recently, I've been hearing a lot of people say, "I heard Onda lifting is good, I want to get it too."
However, I honestly don't recommend deciding on a procedure based solely on vague expectations.
The fact that a specific device is effective is completely different from that device guaranteeing the same results for each individual.
Today, I'd like to discuss precisely that point: why not everyone can be guaranteed the same results, and why I might not even recommend it to some people.
Gangnam Onda Lifting
Onda Lifting
Onda lifting is a procedure that uses ultra-shortwave technology to selectively deliver heat energy to specific tissues, unlike existing radiofrequency methods.
When ultra-shortwaves are projected onto the skin, it's easier to understand if you think of them as acting like a transparent filter made of a specific material.
While passing through the skin surface (epidermis), almost no energy is absorbed, and it passes through very transparently.
Thanks to this, it can safely reach the desired depth without damaging the skin surface or causing excessive heat.
However, when the energy reaches the dermis layer, especially areas rich in water molecules or fat cells,
the energy is suddenly and intensively absorbed, as if it has encountered an opaque wall.
This absorption process generates heat,
which contracts collagen or promotes the metabolism of fat cells, creating the intended effect.
In other words, ultra-shortwaves can be summarized as a precise heat transfer method that safely passes through areas where it is not needed and intensively acts only on the necessary targets.
You may recall that I mentioned earlier that Onda lifting does not guarantee the same results for everyone,
and that in certain conditions, the procedure should be carefully considered or temporarily postponed.
Reasons Not Recommended for Everyone
Gangnam Onda Lifting
This is due to a realistic problem that arises when considering the 'fat-selective action principle' of ultra-shortwaves in reverse.
Onda lifting is characterized by the use of two types of handpieces (tips).
Among them, the 7mm selectively concentrates energy on the subcutaneous fat layer to promote fat cell metabolism and apoptosis (cell death),
ultimately inducing a reduction in fat volume in the targeted area.
However, problems arise when this energy is applied to individuals who already have insufficient facial fat pads and thin skin due to aging or congenital factors.
Even the remaining fine fat tissue can be affected, accelerating fat loss.
Isn't Onda Lifting a Procedure with Few Side Effects?
Gangnam Onda Lifting
Many people know it as a "procedure with less pain and fewer side effects."
In reality, ultra-shortwaves penetrate deep layers without damaging the epidermis,
and the cooling system is activated, so it is less painful compared to existing high-intensity ultrasound procedures.
However, less pain = no side effects (X).
Just because there is less pain does not mean that the medical mechanism of action of the procedure itself disappears.
Gangnam Onda Lifting
As mentioned earlier, the 7mm handpiece clearly targets fat volume
to induce a reduction effect, so it is not recommended for those with significantly less fat.
It should also be carefully considered for those with thin or chronically sensitive skin.
In fact... in these cases, any heat energy procedure, including Onda lifting, should be approached with caution.
'Thin Skin'
Reasons for Caution
Gangnam Onda Lifting
'Thin and sensitive skin' is directly related to the medical meaning of weak skin barrier function.
Skin in this condition cannot recover stably like normal skin when it receives heat energy that acts on deep layers, such as Onda lifting.
Rather than blindly proceeding with the procedure, it is better to focus on stabilizing the skin.
In order to increase the safety and satisfaction of the procedure,
it is essential to receive treatment from an experienced medical professional who can meticulously analyze individual facial conditions and establish a treatment plan, rather than simply following the popularity of the equipment.
Onda lifting can help reduce fat and improve elasticity,
but as emphasized earlier, it should be approached with caution for those with insufficient fat,
and for sensitive skin, it is important to receive a procedure with delicate energy control.
