[Fat and elasticity simultaneously] ONDA Lifting

Onda Lifting: The Kkeut Clinic Difference

1. Customized Design and Handpiece Strategy Before Treatment

The director directly diagnoses the patient's face and sets the lifting direction. Areas requiring skin elasticity improvement and areas requiring contouring are carefully analyzed, and the application sites for 3mm and 7mm handpieces are meticulously planned. Areas of concern for hollowing are carefully avoided, and areas requiring intensive tightening are treated with precision.

2. Personalized Energy Application

Up to 120,000 joules of energy can be applied to the facial areas. What's important is not simply increasing the amount of energy, but delicately adjusting and designing the energy according to each patient's skin characteristics and desired direction of improvement.

3. Precise Speed Control by an Experienced Practitioner

With Onda Lifting, the depth and concentration of thermal energy delivered to the skin can vary depending on the handpiece's movement speed. At our clinic, we aim to reduce skin burden and enhance treatment efficiency by adjusting the speed relatively slowly in areas requiring heat accumulation and quickly in sensitive areas.

4. Customized Shot Distribution Per Patient

We go beyond simply using 3mm and 7mm handpieces. We precisely distribute shots by meticulously considering the patient's facial volume and fat distribution. For example, for patients with less facial fat, we primarily use the 3mm handpiece, and for those with more fat in the double chin or lower jaw, we adjust the proportion of the 7mm handpiece accordingly.

Onda Lifting: Results Created by Subtle Differences

Typically, Onda Lifting treatments often use 90W output from the beginning. However, we perform the treatment in a different way.

Initially, we apply a method of rapidly raising the skin temperature with a high output of 100-110W, then stably maintaining it at 90W.

Subtle Differences in Treatment Method

Reduced Time to Skin Response

Even when delivering the same total amount of energy, starting the treatment with a higher output can cause the tissue temperature to rise more quickly.

This helps reduce the time it takes to reach the required energy accumulation range.

As a result, the point at which the skin begins to respond to the treatment can be brought forward.

Effect of Reducing Energy Loss in Key Response Areas

When high-output energy is delivered for a short period, it's easier to reach the target treatment temperature before the heat spreads widely to surrounding tissues.

This helps reduce unnecessary irritation to the epidermis while selectively inducing the desired reactions in the dermis and fat layers.

Increased Efficiency Relative to Treatment Time

If the treatment is performed only with 90W output, it may take more time to reach the skin's response threshold.

In this case, it may be necessary to apply more shots to induce a sufficient thermal response.

In contrast, starting the treatment with a high output allows for the delivery of the necessary thermal energy in a shorter period, and

subsequent power adjustment helps reduce the burden on the patient's skin and ensures stability.

Expected Effects Patients Can Experience

Compared to a 90W standalone treatment,

you can expect to feel the lifting effect more quickly.

You may experience your skin feeling firmer immediately after the treatment.

Furthermore, because the output is adjusted before the heat sensation rises above a certain level,

it can help reduce excessive pain or discomfort during the treatment.

Thus, even when using the same 60,000 joules of energy, depending on the output control method,

the expected results may differ.

We strive to ensure that these subtle differences create better results.

Key Characteristics of Onda Lifting

Lifting and Tightening in One Treatment

Onda Lifting is a procedure that utilizes ultra-short microwave (2.45GHz) technology to precisely deliver thermal energy to the dermis and subcutaneous fat layers. This allows for both lifting and skin tightening effects.

This method induces frictional heat by vibrating water molecules within the skin. This helps contract existing collagen and stimulate new collagen production, while also helping to reduce the volume of fat cells, thereby positively influencing skin elasticity and lifting improvement.

Microwave energy has the characteristic of being selectively absorbed by water within the skin to generate heat. Therefore, it can deliver necessary thermal energy intensively to the dermis and subcutaneous fat layers without causing excessive irritation to the epidermis.

Onda Lifting is characterized by its ability to help manage both lifting and skin tightening effects simultaneously with a single device.

Lifting procedures primarily focus on improving facial contours, while tightening is used to manage skin texture and elasticity. ONDA procedures can help improve skin by considering both these factors simultaneously.

Key Operating Principles of ONDA Lifting

ONDA Lifting procedures use two types of handpieces: 3mm and 7mm.

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

When heat is applied to this depth, it helps promote the production of collagen and elastin fibers. Additionally, hyaluronic acid production is stimulated, and existing collagen fibers contract, which can help with skin tightening.

Along with this, a reduction in water within edematous fat can positively impact the improvement of contour lines.

The 7mm handpiece delivers energy to deeper subcutaneous fat layers. This method selectively damages fat cell membranes, inducing cell death.

Damaged fat cells are expelled from the body through the lymphatic system, which can help improve contours. Changes may begin 2-3 weeks after the procedure, with contour line improvements expected after 4 weeks, and more noticeable improvements around 6 weeks. Since fat cells that have undergone apoptosis do not regenerate, these changes are likely to be long-lasting.

Furthermore, the retaining ligaments also experience immediate contraction, which can positively contribute to the lifting effect.

Temperature control during the procedure is crucial. Collagen in the dermis has a characteristic that it contracts well when heated to approximately 60-65 degrees Celsius. Therefore, a treatment technique that involves slowly moving the handpiece to effectively accumulate thermal energy to reach this temperature is important.

Microwaves operate on the principle of being selectively absorbed only by water. Thanks to this characteristic, they can concentrate thermal energy only on fat cells and the water layers within the dermis, while causing minimal stimulation to nerves or blood vessels. This allows for a lifting procedure that can reduce pain during treatment and lower the possibility of side effects.

Procedures Expected to Create Synergy with ONDA Lifting

ONDA Lifting can be performed alone, but even better synergy can be expected when combined with procedures such as Shurink (focused on the fascial layer) or Oligio (radiofrequency tightening).

Especially when procedures are performed on the same day, the time required to accumulate thermal energy is reduced, which can enhance treatment convenience and improve satisfaction.

Clinic Director's Treatment Philosophy

ONDA Lifting procedures are often performed multiple times a day.

However, treatment plans are all customized to each individual's face.

As the clinic director, I constantly contemplate how to provide even better results after the procedure.

I believe that true lifting is not just about using equipment, but about deeply understanding each individual's skin condition and flow, and planning contour changes accordingly.

The results of ONDA Lifting procedures can vary not only based on the device's performance but also on the practitioner's expertise.

For more detailed information about ONDA Lifting procedures, please inquire through consultation.

ONDA Lifting: Why are immediate changes expected?

ONDA Lifting utilizes microwave energy to effectively deliver heat to depths of 3mm and 7mm within the skin.

This energy can rapidly heat collagen fibers to over 65 degrees Celsius, inducing contraction.

Accordingly, some degree of lifting changes can be expected immediately after the procedure.

Therefore, it can reduce the burden of waiting for gradual changes, unlike some other procedures.

The ability to expect elasticity and lifting changes quickly after the procedure is one of ONDA Lifting's characteristics.

This procedure can be a suitable option for those who desire rapid changes.

Characteristics of the ONDA Lifting Procedure Process

1. Precise Pre-Procedure Design and Handpiece Strategy Planning

Before ONDA Lifting, a precise design process is considered important.

Before the procedure, a specialist conducts a direct consultation, comprehensively analyzing the patient's skin elasticity, fat distribution, facial volume status, and the direction where lifting is needed to plan the treatment areas.

Based on this analysis, the 3mm handpiece, which focuses on the dermal layer, and the 7mm handpiece, which primarily targets the fat layer, are appropriately applied to each respective area.

This is a lifting approach that emphasizes personalized design, going beyond a simple procedure.

2. Appropriate Energy Delivery and Detailed Treatment Settings

In ONDA Lifting procedures, the total amount of energy used is a crucial factor.

During the procedure, an appropriate amount of energy, ranging from 60,000 joules to over 120,000 joules, is adjusted and applied to each individual. Accordingly, sufficient treatment time is secured, and a meticulous cooling strategy is planned to prevent overheating.

3. Handpiece Movement Speed and Heat Accumulation Management

The effectiveness of ONDA procedures is deeply related to the proper accumulation of thermal energy.

In the initial stages of the procedure, a slow speed is maintained to effectively accumulate thermal energy, and subsequently, a faster speed is applied to reduce the risk of burns and other potential hazards.

The delicate operation of the procedure is possible when based on skilled experience.

4. Handpiece distribution and shot strategy considering individual skin conditions

It is important to apply an appropriate shot strategy according to each individual's volume and skin elasticity.

Dermatology medical staff carefully assess the distribution of volume, the location of the fat layer, and skin thickness to adjust the usage ratio of 3mm and 7mm handpieces.

For example, a 7mm handpiece is primarily used for the jawline with more fat, while the area below the cheekbones, where hollowing may occur, is treated mainly with a 3mm handpiece.

Instead of a uniform irradiation method, the procedure is performed using a distribution strategy tailored to each individual patient.

5. Medical staff's meticulous design and continuous research

The medical staff consistently perform Onda Lifting procedures, accumulating rich experience.

However, each patient's design is always uniquely tailored.

Even outside consultation hours, medical staff continuously research to predict changes in the patient's facial contours and find more effective energy settings and handpiece positions.

Onda Lifting is a device-based procedure, but the results can vary depending on which medical staff designs the treatment plan.

Therefore, Onda Lifting is not merely a machine-based procedure; it is a treatment where the skill and meticulousness of the medical staff are crucial.
