Hello.

I am the director of Mind Dermatology, who improves the essence of the skin with care,

Director, Mind Dermatology

I am Hong-sun Lee, a dermatologist with 17 years' experience.

​

"I want to get rid of my double chin, but

Ulthera seems like it would be too painful...

Is there a lifting treatment that's effective but not painful?"

​

​

Many know they need lifting, but'pain'Many people have hesitated to start because of fear of it,

I suppose.

​

​

Recently, among those people, a procedure that spread by word of mouth for trimming the double chin and jawline without pain is'ONDA lifting'.

​

​

​

However, even when patients undergo the procedure with high expectations, we often see disappointment when the changes are not as significant as expected.

​

​

They received treatment with the same good device, so why does this difference occur?

​

​

Today we'll look into the reasons in detail.

​

​

Please focus for a moment :)

​

​

1. Have you first checked the pattern of fat in your own face?

​

In short, ONDA lifting is​a device specialized​in reducing unnecessary subcutaneous fat.

​

​

Shall we compare it for easier understanding?

​

​

If Ulthera targets the deep'fascial layer (SMAS)',and Thermage targets'elasticity of the superficial skin layers',then

​

​

ONDA concentrates energy on the 'subcutaneous fat layer' beneath the skin.​

​

​

Look in the mirror now and touch your double chin or jowl area.

​

​

If your concern is soft, malleable fat that you can pinch with your fingers, ONDA lifting can be a very good option.

​

​

​

​

However, keep in mind that the thickness of the subcutaneous fat layer under the skin varies from person to person.

​

​

What happens if the procedure is performed excessively without carefully considering an individual's fat thickness or facial contours?

​

​

Reducing fat excessively can cause unwanted results, such as the cheeks sinking in or appearing hollow, even in areas where fat should remain.

​

​

That's why it's crucial to assess the thickness of facial fat by area and perform precise design planning before the procedure.

​

​

2. Why does Onda cause less pain?

​

Many people know lifting is effective but have hesitated because of 'pain'.

​

​

The reason Onda lifting causes less pain is that it uses energy that is not ultrasound or radiofrequencyultrashortwave (microwave)for its energy source.

​

​

​

Pain from lifting usually occurs when sensory nerves in the skin surface and dermis are stimulated.

​

​

By contrast, Onda's energy passes through the skin surfaceand is designed to concentrate mainly on the deep 'fat layer', where pain is barely felt.It is designed that way.

​

​

As a result, pain or discomfort during the procedure is significantly reduced.

​

​

​

​

In addition, the device itself is equipped with a powerfulcooling systemso you can receive the treatment much more comfortably.

​

​

The thermal energy safely delivered to the fat layer not only reduces unwanted fat but also

​

​

induces collagen regeneration,providing both fat reduction and improved skin elasticity simultaneously.^^

3. Post-procedure care to enhance Onda lifting effects

​

Your satisfaction can also vary depending on how you manage after the procedure.

​

​

Remember just three things.

​

​

  • Increase water intake

​

​

Proceeding inside the body after the proceduremetabolic processTo support it, it's good to drink water more frequently than usual.

​

​

  • Consider repeating the procedure at 3–4 week intervals

​

​

​

​

You may feel the contour improve after a single procedure, but

​

​

to maintain a more satisfactory result for a longer time, we recommend repeating the procedure several times at 3–4 week intervals.

​

​

Of course, the number of sessions needed can vary depending on individual fat volume and skin condition.

​

​

  • Combine with Ulthera if needed

​

​

​

If you have significant facial fat and noticeable skin laxity, you can consider combining Onda with Ulthera.

​

​

Ulthera lifts the deep fascial layer while Onda refines the subcutaneous fat layer, so a synergistic effect can be expected.

​

No matter how good the device is, the machine will not automatically tailor the treatment to the facial shape.

​

​

​

​

It's the physician's role to palpate and assess subcutaneous fat thickness that is difficult to determine by sight,

​

​

and to precisely decide where to concentrate energy and where to avoid.

​

​

This is also why Mind Dermatology allows ample consultation time for each patient.

​

​

We believe it's correct to honestly recommend only the necessary procedures by accurately diagnosing the current facial condition, rather than pushing unnecessary treatments.

​

​

We will treat you sincerely.
