Where Should You Get Onda Lifting Near Gangnam Station?
If you're considering Onda lifting near Gangnam Station, it's important to first verify whether the dermatology clinic accurately understands and applies the procedural principles, and whether it possesses handpieces suited for both face and body treatments.
Onda lifting is equipment developed based on Coolwaves™, a patented technology by Italian company DEKA. According to Rapportian Medical News, this technology is designed to selectively deliver energy to the dermis and subcutaneous fat layer without damaging the epidermis. Additionally, as introduced in Medical Today, the depth of energy penetration and the range of treatable areas differ depending on the 7mm and 12mm handpiece composition, so simply having an "Onda device" is not sufficient.
Therefore, before consultation, it's important to first clarify whether your improvement goal is facial contour definition or body line improvement in areas like the abdomen and thighs, and selecting a dermatology clinic capable of providing handpiece matching and line count settings suited to that goal becomes the first criterion.
What is Onda Lifting? Ultra-High Frequency Principles and Expected Effects
Onda lifting is a non-invasive lifting procedure that uses 2.45GHz ultra-high frequency (Microwave) energy to deliver heat directly to the dermis and subcutaneous fat layer without heating the skin surface. The main mechanism of action is inducing collagen regeneration and fat cell breakdown simultaneously.
According to clinical data, ultra-high frequency has the characteristic of minimal energy loss in the epidermis with heat concentrating in the dermis, making it possible to protect the epidermis while efficiently delivering energy to deeper tissues. Because the patented Coolwaves™ cooling system maintains consistent epidermal temperature during the procedure, pain is relatively minimal, and many experience immediate tightening effects right after treatment. It is known that collagen regeneration effects appear gradually over the following 2-4 weeks.
If you have concerns about cheek fat, double chin, or jawline definition, or if you're sensitive to procedural pain or new to lifting treatments, this is a procedure to consider. However, according to clinical data, if the facial fat is minimal and only skin sagging is present, the application ratio of the 7mm handpiece must be carefully adjusted, requiring customized design through palpation and visual assessment before treatment.
Results may vary depending on individual conditions.
Shinyu clinic's Approach to Onda Lifting
At Shinyu clinic, under a system where the director personally performs the procedure meticulously, a full set of 7mm and 12mm handpieces creates a customized lifting design just for you. With confirmed authentic products and proper quantities, and transparent fixed-price procedure operation, the entire procedure can be trusted.
According to Rapportian Medical News, the 12mm handpiece can deliver energy to deeper subcutaneous fat layers compared to the conventional 7mm, making it suitable for body areas with thicker fat layers like the abdomen, thighs, and forearms, where uniform effects can be expected. Medical Today also notes that the 12mm handpiece offers advantages in treatment time reduction and pain relief due to its wider irradiation range and ability to reach deeper layers.
The table below summarizes the key differences between face and body handpiece composition.
| Classification | 7mm Handpiece (Face) | 12mm Handpiece (Body) |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Application Areas | Facial contour, jawline, cheek fat, double chin | Abdomen, thighs, forearms, and other thick fat layers |
| Energy Penetration Depth | Dermis ~ shallow subcutaneous fat layer | Deep subcutaneous fat layer |
| Irradiation Range | Precision-focused type | Wide area and uniform irradiation |
| Additional Cost | — | None (Shinyu clinic basis) |
The director directly oversees from consultation through procedure completion, designing line count settings (60,000 to 200,000 lines) tailored to individual skin condition and target areas. The more specifically you share the areas you wish to improve and your goals during pre-treatment consultation, the more precise the design becomes possible.
Onda Lifting, Check if It's Right for You — Limitations and Application Scope
Before considering Onda lifting, check your situation first through the following checklist.
✔ You can consider this procedure in these cases
— When you want lifting effects without downtime
— When you're sensitive to procedural pain or it's your first lifting treatment
— When you want both facial contouring (cheek fat, double chin, jawline definition) and body line improvement
— When you want to achieve both fat breakdown and collagen regeneration simultaneously
⚠ Cases where pre-treatment consultation with medical staff is necessary
— If you're pregnant or breastfeeding
— If you have metal implants (such as pacemakers) in your body
— If there's skin infection or inflammation in the treatment area
— If facial fat is minimal with only skin sagging (handpiece combination and energy settings must be carefully adjusted)
Important limitations to know
According to clinical data, temporary heat sensation, redness, and swelling may occur after treatment, but most naturally subside within days. While some experience immediate tightening effects after one treatment, considering the fat breakdown and collagen regeneration cycle, repeating treatment at 3-4 week intervals often yields more pronounced results. Regarding line count, if local improvement is the goal, 6,000 lines may be discussed; for overall elasticity enhancement, 100,000 lines or more may be considered, which varies depending on individual skin thickness, elasticity level, and sensitivity.

Q&A
Q1. How is Onda lifting different from Ultherapy Prime and Thermage FLX?
The three procedures use different types of energy. Ultherapy Prime uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to stimulate to the SMAS layer, and Thermage FLX uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to promote overall skin collagen regeneration and elasticity. Onda lifting is characterized by using ultra-high frequency (Microwave) to selectively deliver heat to the dermis and subcutaneous fat layer, inducing simultaneous lifting and fat breakdown. The three procedures can be designed in combination as they have different principles and primary action layers.
Q2. Does Onda lifting show results after one treatment, or how many sessions are needed?
Some experience immediate tightening effects right after treatment. However, collagen regeneration and fat breakdown progress gradually over 2-4 weeks, and according to clinical data, repeating treatment at 3-4 week intervals may yield more pronounced results. The appropriate number of treatments varies depending on individual skin condition and goals, so it's best to design this through consultation.
Q3. How is body Onda different from face Onda? When is the 12mm handpiece needed?
Face Onda typically uses 7mm handpieces to intensively deliver energy to precise areas like jawline, cheek fat, and double chin. For body areas with thick subcutaneous fat layers like the abdomen, thighs, and forearms, the 12mm handpiece is more suitable as it can deliver energy uniformly to deeper layers. Shinyu clinic possesses both handpieces, and no additional costs are incurred when using the 12mm body-dedicated handpiece.
Q4. Are there precautions to take when receiving Onda lifting at Gangnam Station?
If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have metal implants in your body, you must consult with medical staff before treatment. On the treatment day, avoid makeup and irritating products in the treatment area. Temporary heat sensation and redness may occur after treatment, but most naturally resolve within days. If facial fat is minimal, energy setting adjustments may be needed, so it's important to accurately share your skin condition during consultation.
Results may vary depending on individual conditions.
