ONDA Lifting Procedure: Step by Step from Consultation to Going Home
Step-by-step
- Consultation: Dr. Lee Da-in reviews your concerns (double chin, full lower cheeks), medical history, medications and past treatments.
- Treatment plan: areas (double chin, cheeks, jawline), intensity or dose, and the expected course are explained.
- Preparation: cleansing, then anaesthesia — usually not needed (cooling system).
- Treatment: performed with ONDA microwave (Coolwaves), taking about 20–40 minutes.
- Calming and going home: soothing care if needed and aftercare instructions. Downtime: swelling or soreness for a few days.
How it works
ONDA uses 2.45 GHz microwaves (Coolwaves) to selectively heat the fat layer while cooling the skin surface. On the face it is used for localized fat such as a double chin or full cheeks, together with firmness.
