[Low Pain, Fast Results] Onda Lifting

Features of Onda Lifting experienced at Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic

1. Customized design and handpiece strategy before treatment

Before Onda Lifting treatment, the director meticulously analyzes each patient's facial structure. They distinguish between areas requiring skin elasticity improvement and those needing contour refinement, then determine the proportion of 3mm and 7mm handpiece usage. Treatment plans are delicately crafted, carefully avoiding areas prone to cheek hollowing while precisely targeting regions that require tightening.

2. Personalized Energy Settings

During facial treatment, energy can be adjusted from 60,000 to 120,000 joules. Rather than simply using high energy, we set the appropriate energy level to match your skin characteristics and desired improvement goals.

3. Precise Handpiece Movement Speed Control

With Onda Lifting, the depth and concentration of heat delivered to skin tissue vary depending on the handpiece's movement speed. At our clinic, we move relatively slowly in areas where heat accumulation is needed, and quickly in sensitive or delicate areas. This meticulous adjustment ensures optimal results without unnecessary overheating.

4. Customized Shot Distribution per Area

Beyond simply applying 3mm and 7mm handpieces, we distribute shots considering your facial volume and fat distribution. For instance, for individuals with less fat, we primarily use the 3mm handpiece, while for those with more fat in the double chin or lower jaw, we increase the proportion of the 7mm handpiece during treatment.

Subtle Differences in Onda Lifting Treatment Method

At our clinic, when performing Onda Lifting, instead of proceeding solely with 90W from the start,

we apply a method where we initially use a high output of 100-110W to quickly raise skin temperature, and then maintain 90W for the remainder of the treatment.

Characteristics of Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic's Treatment Method

Reduced tissue reaction onset time:

Even when delivering the same total energy, starting the treatment with high output allows the target tissue temperature to rise more quickly.

This reduces the time required to reach the necessary energy accumulation range,

and skin tissue reactions can begin more rapidly.

Reduced energy loss in primary reaction areas:

Delivering energy with high output for a short period helps reach the desired target temperature before heat dissipates into surrounding tissues.

This can help reduce the burden of epidermal damage while inducing the desired reaction primarily in the dermis and subcutaneous fat layers.

Reduced treatment time and increased efficiency:

If treatment were performed only with a fixed output of 90W, it might take more time for tissues to reach a temperature where they can react sufficiently.

In this case, it might be necessary to irradiate a greater amount of energy to induce the appropriate thermal reaction.

However, by starting the treatment with high output, the necessary heat level can be reached within a short time,

and subsequently adjusting the output can help reduce the burden on the skin.

Changes you may experience:

▶ Compared to a 90W-only treatment,

→ you may feel the lifting effect more quickly,

→ and your skin may feel firmer and tighter immediately after the procedure.

By adjusting the output before the heat sensation becomes uncomfortable,

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

Consequently, even when using the same total energy (e.g., 60,000 joules), depending on the output adjustment method,

there can be differences in treatment results.

At Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic, we believe these differences can affect treatment satisfaction.

Key Characteristics of Onda Lifting

Simultaneous Lifting and Tightening Action

Onda Lifting utilizes 2.45GHz ultrashort wave microwave technology to deliver heat to the dermal and subcutaneous fat layers. This device helps achieve both lifting effects and skin tightening.

This device operates on the principle of vibrating water molecules within the skin to generate frictional heat. This promotes collagen contraction and new collagen formation, while also influencing fat cell reduction, making the expectation of a lifting effect a key feature.

Microwaves have the characteristic of being absorbed by water in the skin, generating thermal energy. Therefore, they can be advantageous in delivering deep, selective heat to the dermal and subcutaneous fat layers while causing relatively less irritation to the epidermis.

Onda Lifting can be utilized as a device that allows for simultaneous consideration of both lifting and tightening.

Lifting procedures primarily focus on refining facial contours. Tightening, on the other hand, concentrates on improving skin texture and enhancing elasticity. Onda Lifting is designed to address both of these elements simultaneously, helping to resolve skin concerns.

How Onda Lifting Works

Onda Lifting utilizes two handpieces: 3mm and 7mm.

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

When heat is delivered to this depth, it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin fibers. At the same time, it promotes hyaluronic acid production and aids in the contraction of existing collagen fibers, which can improve skin elasticity.

Furthermore, edematous fat may temporarily result in a more refined facial line due to water reduction.

The 7mm handpiece reaches the deep subcutaneous fat layer, selectively damaging fat cell membranes and inducing cell apoptosis.

Damaged fat cells are naturally expelled from the body through lymphatic circulation. This can lead to a smoother and more defined facial contour. Typically, changes begin to appear 2-3 weeks after the procedure, contour changes can be perceived around 4 weeks, and the most noticeable changes can be expected after 6 weeks. Since fat cells that have undergone apoptosis do not regenerate, the effects of this procedure are expected to last for a certain period.

Additionally, it induces immediate contraction of the retaining ligaments, providing a noticeable lifting sensation immediately after the procedure.

Temperature Control Method: Collagen in the dermis is known to exhibit a contraction response at temperatures between approximately 60-65 degrees Celsius. To reach this optimal temperature, a skilled technique of continuously moving the handpiece and building up sufficient heat within the skin is crucial.

Water Selective Absorption Principle: The microwaves used in Onda Lifting are characterized by their selective absorption primarily by water. This allows heat energy to be concentrated on fat cells and the water layer within the dermis, while minimizing stimulation to nerves or blood vessels. As a result, the procedure is less painful and can help reduce discomfort after treatment.

Procedures to Consider Combining With

At KKEUT Korean Medicine Clinic, we also perform Onda Lifting as a standalone procedure. However, when combined with Shurink (targeting the fascial layer) or Oligio (tightening using high-frequency waves), you can expect complementary effects.

Especially when multiple procedures are performed on the same day, efficiently utilizing the heat accumulation time of each procedure can help achieve even more satisfying results.

Director's Treatment Philosophy

At KKEUT Korean Medicine Clinic, we perform Onda Lifting procedures for many patients every day.

Nevertheless, the lifting design is uniquely planned for each individual's face.

Even after the procedure, I, the lead director, constantly ponder how to provide patients with even more natural and effective lifting.

Beyond simply operating the device, I believe that true lifting involves thoroughly understanding skin texture and the overall flow of the face, and then delicately designing harmonious contour changes within that context.

Onda Lifting goes beyond the performance of the device itself; the difference is made by the skilled hands of the medical team.

You can experience meticulous procedures at KKEUT Korean Medicine Clinic.

Reasons to Expect Rapid Changes from Onda Lifting

Onda Lifting works by utilizing microwave energy to concentrate heat at depths of 3mm and 7mm within the skin.

This concentrated heat rapidly warms collagen fibers to over 65 degrees Celsius, inducing immediate collagen contraction.

Thanks to this, it may be possible to visually observe a certain degree of lifting immediately after the procedure.

This differs from cases where one has to wait for changes to appear gradually.

The ability to relatively quickly feel changes in elasticity and lifting after the procedure can be considered a key feature of Onda Lifting.

It can be a worthwhile option for those who prefer rapid changes.

KKEUT Korean Medicine Clinic Onda Lifting Features

1. Customized Treatment Design and Handpiece Strategy

At KKEUT Korean Medicine Clinic, we place great importance on the precise design process that takes place before the procedure.

The director personally consults with each patient, thoroughly analyzing skin elasticity, fat distribution, volume, and the direction in which lifting is needed. Based on this, we carefully design the most suitable treatment areas for each individual.

According to the planned design, the 3mm handpiece (primarily stimulating the dermis) and the 7mm handpiece (primarily targeting the fat layer) are appropriately applied to different areas.

This means that the procedure is not merely about operating the device, but involves a strategic lifting treatment based on a well-thought-out design.

2. Optimal Energy Levels and Meticulous Treatment Settings

The effectiveness of Onda Lifting can largely depend on the total amount of energy delivered.

At KKEUT Korean Medicine Clinic, we can adjust the energy delivered from 60,000 joules to over 120,000 joules, tailoring the treatment to each patient's condition. We ensure sufficient treatment time and meticulously establish cooling strategies to prevent overheating, striving to enhance the completeness of the procedure.

3. Handpiece Speed and Heat Accumulation Control Technology

In Onda Lifting, the degree of heat accumulation within the skin significantly impacts the treatment results.

At KKEUT Korean Medicine Clinic, we move the handpiece relatively slowly in the initial stages of the procedure to allow for sufficient heat accumulation. In subsequent stages, we adjust the speed to reduce the risk of burns and maintain comfort, thereby ensuring a safe and effective treatment.

The delicate settings of the procedure are made possible through skilled experience.

4. Customized Handpiece Distribution and Shot Strategy for Each Individual

If you have a lot of facial volume or simply a loss of elasticity, different shot strategies are required.

Considering facial volume distribution, fat location, and skin thickness, the ratio of 3mm and 7mm handpiece usage is adjusted.

For example, a 7mm handpiece can be primarily used for the jawline, where the fat layer is relatively thick, while a 3mm handpiece can be focused on the area below the cheekbones, where cheek hollowing might be a concern.

This goes beyond simple energy application, applying a customized distribution strategy suitable for each individual.

5. Meticulous Design and Continuous Research by Medical Professionals

Onda Lifting is one of the lifting procedures performed consistently every day.

However, the procedure design is applied differently for each patient.

Medical professionals not only predict changes in a patient's facial contour outside of consultation hours but also repeatedly research energy settings and handpiece placements that can lead to better results.

Onda Lifting results may vary individually depending on the design by experienced medical professionals.

This is not merely a procedure using a device, but a lifting perfected by the delicate sensibilities of medical professionals.
