What Is ONDA Lifting?

ONDA Lifting is a non-surgical skin lifting and body contouring treatment that uses advanced microwave technology (Coolwaves™) to deliver uniform thermal energy into deeper skin layers and fat tissue. This helps stimulate collagen regeneration, tighten skin, and improve contour with minimal downtime.

At QD Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, Dr. Hong uses ONDA Lifting for patients who want to lift, firm, and contour without traditional surgery — particularly targeting sagging skin, jowls, double chin, and body areas with mild fat accumulation.

Who Can Benefit from ONDA Lifting?

You may be an ideal candidate if you:

• Notice mild to moderate sagging around the cheeks, jawline, or neck.
• Want to reduce a double-chin or jowl area without liposuction.
• Have stubborn pockets of fat or loose skin on body areas such as abdomen, arms, or thighs.
• Prefer a shorter downtime, less invasive approach compared to surgical lifting.
• Wish to improve skin tone, texture and firmness at the same time as contouring.

How ONDA Lifting Works

• A special handpiece delivers microwave energy at controlled depths (e.g., 3 mm for skin/dermis; 7 mm for deeper fat layers) depending on the treatment zone.
• The energy heats the target tissue (dermal collagen or fat cells) while sparing the overlying epidermis via cooling and smart sensor control.
• In the deeper zone, fat cells are selectively disrupted and cleared via natural processes; in the dermal zone, collagen contracts and new collagen fibres are stimulated, leading to lifting and tightening over time.
• Because the energy is delivered carefully and the device includes cooling measures, discomfort is minimized and recovery is fast.

Treatment Areas & Uses at QD Plastic Surgery

• Face: cheeks, mid-face, jawline — for lifting and contouring.
• Neck and under-chin: tightening loose skin and reducing submental fat.
• Body zones: abdomen, flanks, arms, thighs — for fat reduction + skin firming.
• Specific combination zones: double chin plus lower face contour, or body sagging after weight loss.
