The Short Answer
What is Onda Lifting?
Onda Lifting is a non-surgical treatment that uses Coolwaves microwave energy. The handpiece delivers energy to two depths — about 3 mm for the skin and about 7 mm for the deeper fat layer — while the surface is cooled. The heat stimulates collagen to tighten the skin and can reduce small, stubborn fat pockets.
It is often chosen for a soft jawline, jowls and a mild double chin, and for loose skin or small fat deposits on the abdomen, arms or thighs. Some firming may be visible soon after treatment, with the full effect usually developing over 2–4 weeks.
