Understanding Onda Lifting: Is it Right for You? > Plastic Surgery

Hello, I am Dr. Jongjin Lee, head physician at Ceramique Clinic.

Most people who come in for Onda lifting have heard that it can sharpen the jawline and reduce fat.

However, I think the decision-making process for this procedure is often too casual, as if choosing a new outfit.

I want to explain the most important things you should know, divided into three key points.

Please pay close attention! ^^

It is true that Onda lifting is particularly effective for improving chin fat and that many people experience immediate changes.

However, to understand why this perception exists, it's essential to understand the energy this procedure uses and how it works.

Unlike typical radiofrequency (RF) treatments, this device uses a unique energy called 'microwaves'.

Microwaves generate heat by powerfully reacting with moisture within the skin.

The key point here is the 'moisture within fat cells'.

This energy concentrates on fat cells, damaging their membranes.

As a result, it reduces the volume of fat cells or induces their destruction.

Ultimately, when this energy is used on areas where fat accumulates, such as under the jawline, it does more than just tighten the skin; it reduces the fat volume itself.

Unlike other lifting procedures that focus on stimulating collagen regeneration in the dermis and SMAS layer,

microwaves target fat cells, reducing fat volume itself.

This makes it effective for issues like under the jawline, double chin, and jowls, which are caused by accumulated fat, not just sagging skin.

However... as with all procedures, it's not for everyone.

I do not recommend it for 'these people'.

First, it's not suitable for those who already have very little fat in their cheeks or under their cheekbones, resulting in a sunken appearance.

These individuals have such thin tissue that you can barely feel any fat when you pinch their cheeks.

Since Onda lifting destroys fat cells,

the procedure can further reduce fat in these individuals, worsening the 'hollowed cheeks' and ultimately making their face look tired and older.

Trying to fix the chin fat can backfire and ruin the cheeks.

Secondly, it's not recommended for those with thin skin and frequent redness or inflammation.

Onda lifting delivers hot energy into the skin, which can be a significant burden for those with a weak skin barrier.

The redness or inflammation that occurs after the procedure can last for months,

and the skin's sensitivity to irritation can even cause temporary pigmentation.

The 'heat sensation'?

The fundamental reason these phenomena occur is that it works by delivering concentrated heat energy to the deep tissues of the skin.

The heat sensation felt after the procedure is essentially the induced therapeutic response within the skin.

However, people with sensitive skin or a weak skin barrier may perceive even this normal heat response as excessive stress.

As the skin's protective function weakens,

redness and inflammation can be prolonged, ultimately stimulating melanocytes and causing unexpected pigmentation.

The more sensitive your skin is,

the more important it is to receive an accurate explanation of your skin type before undergoing the procedure.

Today, I explained about Onda lifting.

Many people come in only hearing that it's 'less painful' and 'targets fat',

but all lifting procedures have clearly defined advantages and disadvantages.

Check if you fall into the 'bad conditions' mentioned in this article

and make a careful decision.

I hope today's content has been helpful in your decision-making.

Thank you for reading this long article.
