This is a procedure note for Why ONDA Lifting is good for double chin? at Beomgye(Opening Soon) KKEUT Korean Clinic.
As concerns about a double chin deepen, the options widen, but making a decision becomes equally difficult.
Surgical procedures requiring incisions, like liposuction, can be burdensome, and conventional lifting has the limitation of not addressing the fat itself.
In this situation, ONDA Lifting is gaining attention.

ONDA Lifting's Core Principle — How Microwaves Work on a Double Chin
ONDA is a device that applies 2.45GHz microwave (MMW, Millimeter Wave) energy to the skin.
Microwaves penetrate the skin surface and act simultaneously on the dermis and subcutaneous fat layers.
This point is crucial, as this dual-action principle is why you can expect both lifting and fat reduction effects from a single treatment.

A double chin mostly occurs due to fat accumulation under the chin.
It's a complex issue involving both sagging skin and thickened fat, so addressing only one aspect makes it difficult to achieve desired results.
ONDA Lifting targets both these concerns because microwaves contract and regenerate collagen fibers in the dermis while simultaneously applying thermal stimulation to fat cells.

Downtime and Pain — What's it Really Like?
As it's a non-surgical method, there are no incisions or stitches.
Temporary swelling or a warm sensation may occur after the treatment, but these usually subside within a few days.
Return to daily life is quick, allowing for management without significant interruption even in a busy routine.
While pain tolerance varies individually, the primary sensation during microwave application is a warm heat, and it can be adjusted depending on the treatment method.

The recommended number of sessions is generally around 3-5, performed at 1-2 week intervals, which is beneficial for cumulative effects.
While some changes may be felt after just one session, a stable improvement in double chin is realistically achieved by building up sessions.
Basic post-treatment care includes adequate hydration, sun protection, and avoiding strenuous exercise or saunas for 1-2 days.

ONDA Lifting and InMode FX are sometimes confused.
InMode FX is a device more specialized in fat cell apoptosis using RF and high-voltage pulse methods, while ONDA Lifting stimulates both the fat layer and the dermis simultaneously with microwaves.
Rather than saying one is inherently better, the appropriate device varies depending on skin condition and the degree of double chin.
At Kkeut Clinic, we guide you to the appropriate device for your indications through consultation.

How Kkeut Clinic Handles ONDA Lifting
At Kkeut Clinic, before ONDA Lifting treatment, we always perform the design process in a seated position.
Designing while lying down can disperse fat, leading to energy being applied to different areas than when actually standing.
By designing in a seated position, we avoid hollowed areas and precisely target only the sagging fat layer that actually needs removal.

Kkeut Clinic's ONDA Lifting also has principles for power adjustment.
In the initial stage of treatment, we focus sufficient thermal stimulation on the fat layer with high power and slow movement, then switch to standard power and fast movement to reduce pain while maintaining efficacy.
It's not about applying maximum intensity unconditionally, but rather designing a balance between effectiveness and safety.

After the treatment, Kkeut Clinic creates and shares a lifting card with the patient.
Key information such as treatment areas and power settings are recorded, allowing for continuous care based on previous treatment history, no matter which branch is visited.
Thanks to this system, the precision of personalized management increases with each session.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Is ONDA Lifting only effective for double chins?
A. ONDA Lifting is also widely applicable to areas with combined fat and elasticity loss, such as sagging cheeks and buccal fat. At Kkeut Clinic, we first identify the actual area of concern during consultation and then determine if ONDA Lifting is a suitable indication.
Q. Does a double chin noticeably change after just one ONDA Lifting session?
A. After one ONDA Lifting session, some may experience temporary contour changes along with a warm sensation. However, stable double chin improvement becomes more distinct with successive sessions. Generally, 3-5 sessions are recommended, and at Kkeut Clinic, we manage session-by-session changes through a lifting card.
Q. Is it possible to return to daily life immediately after ONDA Lifting treatment?
A. As it's a non-surgical method, most daily activities are possible on the day of treatment. However, it's advisable to avoid saunas, strenuous exercise, and alcohol for 1-2 days immediately after ONDA Lifting, and thorough sun protection is essential basic care.
Q. Is there a risk of hollowed cheeks?
A. Before ONDA Lifting, Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic always performs the design while the patient is in a sitting position. This allows us to accurately target only the sagging fat layer that forms a double chin, while excluding areas at risk of hollowing.
