[Reduce irritation, increase elasticity] Onda Lifting

Onda Lifting: Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Unique Differentiators

1. Personalized Design and Handpiece Strategy Before Treatment

The director directly diagnoses the patient's face and sets the lifting direction. By carefully analyzing areas requiring skin elasticity improvement and contour refinement, the application areas for 3mm and 7mm handpieces are meticulously planned. Areas where hollowing is a concern are carefully avoided, and areas requiring intensive tightening are precisely treated.

2. Personalized Energy Utilization

Up to 120,000 joules of energy can be applied to facial areas. What's important is not just increasing the amount of energy, but delicately adjusting and designing the energy to match 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 adjust the speed to be relatively slow in areas requiring heat accumulation and fast in sensitive areas, aiming to reduce skin burden while enhancing treatment efficiency.

4. Customized Shot Distribution Per Patient

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

Onda Lifting: Results Created by Subtle Differences

Generally, Onda Lifting treatments often use a 90W output from the start. However, we proceed with the treatment in a different manner.

Initially, we apply a method of rapidly raising the skin temperature with a high output of 100-110W, then maintaining it stably 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 tissue temperature to rise more quickly.

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

As a result, the time when the skin begins to respond to the treatment can be brought forward.

Effect of Reducing Energy Loss in the Main Response Zone

Delivering high-output energy for a short period makes it easier to reach the target treatment temperature before heat widely disperses into surrounding tissues.

This helps reduce unnecessary epidermal stimulation while selectively inducing the desired response in the dermis and fat layers.

Increased Efficiency Compared to Treatment Time

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

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

In contrast, starting treatment with high output can deliver the necessary thermal energy in a short time, and

subsequent output adjustment considers reducing the burden on the patient's skin and ensuring stability.

Expected Effects Patients Can Experience

Compared to a 90W-only treatment,

it is expected that you may feel the lifting effect more quickly.

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

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

this 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 lead to better results.

Key Characteristics of Onda Lifting

Lifting and Tightening in One Go

Onda Lifting is a treatment that precisely delivers thermal energy to the dermal and subcutaneous fat layers using ultra-shortwave microwave (2.45GHz) technology. Through this, you can expect both lifting and skin tightening effects.

This method induces frictional heat by vibrating water molecules within the skin. This can help with collagen contraction and new collagen production, and aid in reducing the volume of fat cells, thereby positively influencing skin elasticity and lifting improvement.

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

Onda Lifting has the characteristic of being able to help manage both lifting and skin tightening effects simultaneously with a single device.

Lifting treatments primarily focus on improving facial contours, while tightening is utilized to manage skin texture and elasticity. Onda treatment can help improve skin by simultaneously considering these two factors.

Key Principles of Onda Lifting

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

The 3mm handpiece is designed to deliver energy to the boundary between the dermis and subcutaneous fat layers.

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

Concurrently, the reduction of water within edematous fat can positively impact the improvement of contour lines.

The 7mm handpiece delivers energy to the deeper subcutaneous fat layer. This method selectively damages fat cell membranes, inducing cell apoptosis.

Damaged fat cells are expelled from the body via the lymphatic system, which can help improve contours. Changes may begin 2-3 weeks after the treatment, with contour line changes 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 treatment is crucial. Collagen in the dermis has a characteristic of being effectively induced to contract within the approximate range of 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, thermal energy can be precisely delivered to fat cells and the water layers within the dermis, while minimizing stimulation to nerves or blood vessels. This allows for a lifting treatment that can reduce pain during the procedure and lower the potential for side effects.

Treatments That Can Achieve Synergistic Effects with Onda Lifting

Onda Lifting can be performed as a standalone treatment, but even better synergistic effects can be expected when combined with treatments like Shurink (focused on the fascial layer) or Oligio (radiofrequency tightening).

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

Chief Doctor's Treatment Philosophy

Onda Lifting is often performed multiple times a day.

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

As the chief doctor, I constantly consider how to provide even better results after the treatment.

I believe that the true essence of lifting lies not merely in using the device, but in deeply understanding each individual's skin condition and characteristics, and planning contour changes accordingly.

The results of Onda Lifting treatments can vary based on the practitioner's skill level, beyond just the device's performance.

For more detailed information about Onda Lifting treatment, please inquire through consultation.

Onda Lifting: Why Immediate Changes Can Be 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, a certain degree of lifting change can be expected immediately after the treatment.

This helps reduce the burden of having to wait for gradual changes, unlike some other treatments.

Thus, the ability to expect improvements in elasticity and lifting within a short period after treatment is one of the characteristics of Onda Lifting.

For those who desire quick changes, this treatment can be a suitable option.

Characteristics of the Onda Lifting Treatment Process

1. Precise Design and Handpiece Strategy Planning Before Treatment

A precise design process is considered important before Onda Lifting treatment.

Before the treatment, a specialist conducts a direct consultation, thoroughly analyzing the patient's skin elasticity, fat distribution, facial volume, and the necessary lifting direction, among other factors, 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 specific area.

This is a lifting approach that goes beyond a simple procedure, emphasizing personalized custom design.

2. Appropriate Energy Delivery and Detailed Treatment Settings

In Onda Lifting treatment, the total amount of energy used is an important factor.

During the treatment, the appropriate energy level, 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 cooling strategy to prevent overheating is meticulously planned.

3. Handpiece Movement Speed and Heat Accumulation Management

The effectiveness of Onda treatment is deeply related to the proper accumulation of thermal energy.

In the initial stages of treatment, 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 precise execution of a procedure is only possible with skilled experience.

4. Handpiece Distribution and Shot Strategy Tailored to Individual Skin Conditions

It is crucial to apply an appropriate shot strategy based on each individual's volume and skin elasticity.

Our dermatology medical team carefully assesses the distribution of volume, the location of the fat layer, and skin thickness to adjust the usage ratio of 3mm and 7mm handpieces.

For instance, the 7mm handpiece is primarily utilized for jawlines with ample fat, while the 3mm handpiece is mainly used for areas below the cheekbones where hollowing might occur.

Instead of a uniform approach, we proceed with a customized distribution strategy tailored to each individual patient.

5. Meticulous Planning and Continuous Research by Our Medical Team

Our medical team consistently performs Onda Lifting procedures, accumulating extensive experience.

However, each patient's treatment plan is always uniquely designed.

Even outside of consultation hours, our medical team anticipates changes in a patient's facial contours and continuously researches to find more effective energy settings and handpiece positions.

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

Therefore, Onda Lifting is not merely a procedure performed by a machine, but one where the medical team's skill and meticulousness are crucial.
