Hello!
This is Cho Hyuk-chan, head physician at Cleor Clinic Uijeongbu.
“I used to be comfortable taking photos,
but these days I'm more conscious of the angle.”
“I slightly lift my head so my jawline isn't hidden,
and I'm careful about smiling in case my cheeks look too prominent.”
Like this, the changes that make your face in photos feel unfamiliar
are often due to weakening of skin elasticityand the strength supporting the fat layers,
rather than weight gain.
That's why you consider lifting procedures,
but it becomes even more difficult when you look for information.
There are many similar-sounding procedure names,
and because advertising descriptions are mixed in,
it's not easy to understand the exact differences.
So today, based on what I explain most often in actual consultations,
I will carefully examine
in what cases Onda Lifting is chosen
as a procedure.
Onda Lifting, what kind of lifting is it?Onda Lifting
delivers high-frequency energy
to a specific depth in the skin to improve elasticity andrefine the face and body lines.
‘ONDA’ is a device developed in Italy that
precisely delivers heat stimulationnot to the skin's surface,
but to the inside of the skin.
When heat is applied to the skin,our body recognizes this as a stimulus and
starts a recovery response,and in this process,
collagen production is activated
and loosened tissue is tightened again.
You may have experienced the feeling of your skin temporarily becoming firmer after a hot compress.
Onda Lifting utilizes this principle,but the difference lies in
✔ delivering heat selectively
✔ to the necessary depth
✔ and in the necessary amount.
Various types of lifting,
what are the differences?
Lifting approaches vary quite a bit depending on the method.
It can be broadly divided into three categories.
1️⃣ Thread Lifting
This method involves inserting medical threads into the skin to physically
pull it up, which has the advantage of immediate change, but
it requires a more involved procedure and recovery period.
2️⃣ Ultrasound Lifting
This method uses ultrasound energy to stimulate the deep layers of the skin,
down to the SMAS layer.
It is used when sagging is relatively advanced,
but it can be accompanied by pain.
3️⃣ Radiofrequency Lifting (including Onda Lifting)
This method tightens the skin and fat layers together with radiofrequency heat, which
has relatively less pain
and is strong in refining areas with fat,
such as the cheeks and jawline.
👉 Therefore, Onda Lifting is
suitable for those who are hesitant about surgery or thread procedures,
prefer a natural change
rather than strong pain,and is often chosen.
Onda Lifting is performed in different waysdepending on the area!
Onda Lifting
uses different handpieces
depending on the area.Shallow
Used to stimulate the dermal layer close to the skin surfacefor the purpose of improving skin texture and fine wrinkles
(thin skin areas such as forehead and around the eyes)
Deep
Used to deliver heat to the subcutaneous fat layerwith the goal of refining the cheeks or jawline
When treating the entire face, wedesign a combination
of the two to suit the characteristics of each area.
When will I feel the effects?
Onda Lifting is not a procedure that shows dramatic
changes immediately after the procedure.This is because
collagen remodeling
gradually progresses
after radiofrequency stimulation.
Usually,skin texture changes orelasticity are often felt
from 2 to 3 weeks later,
and changes tend to become more noticeable
between 4 and 8 weeks.
Therefore, rather than expecting noticeable changes in a short period of time,it is more suitable for those who want
the facial contours to be refined calmly over time.How many Onda Lifting sessions should I receive?
It depends on the skin condition, butwe generally recommend3 to 5 sessions
at 4 to 6 week intervals.Collagen production is not a process that ends with a single stimulation,so the effect accumulates through repeated heat stimulation.
After that,
some people receive
maintenance treatments
at 6-month to 1-year intervals.
Who is Onda Lifting suitable for?
Those who feel that their face is generally loose
Those who are concerned that their cheeks or jawline look dullThose who want natural improvement without thread lifting
Conversely, these people are not suitable!Cases where sagging is advanced and strong lifting is needed
Cases where immediate and dramatic changes are expected
Cases where the skin is very thin and there is almost no fat layer
may be more suitable for a different approach.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)Q. How much pain is there?
It's hard to say it's completely painless.A hot and tingling sensation is repeated,
and areas close to the bone, such as the jawline or under the cheekbones,
may be more sensitive!
This can be reduced by adjusting the numbing cream time or energy.
Q. What about swelling or bruising?
There may be heat or mild swelling on the day of the procedure,
but it usually subsides within a day or two,
and bruising is rare.
Q. How long does the procedure take?
The procedure itself takes about 20 to 40 minutes,
and you can expect a total of 60 to 90 minutes
including anesthesia.
Q. Can I do it in conjunction with fillers or Botox?
It is often possible, but
adjusting the order and interval of the procedures is important,
and a plan tailored to the individual's condition is needed.
Q. What are the precautions after the procedure?
Please avoid sauna, steaming, strenuous exercise, and alcohol on the day of the procedure.
It is also best to avoid using irritating cosmetics for a few days,
and if you feel any abnormal symptoms, please visit us immediately.
Cleor Clinic Uijeongbu's Onda Lifting uses
radiofrequency heat to
improve skin elasticity and
naturally refine the face line over time.
Because it can be combined with daily life without a long recovery period,
it can be an option for those who want to continue managing their skin while reducing the burden.
However, since the appropriate procedure may vary depending on individual skin condition and expected changes,
it is best to decide after a thorough consultation with me!
