This is a procedure note for How many sessions of Onda Lifting do I need? A minimum of 3 sessions is recommended. at Beomgye(Opening Soon) KKEUT Korean Clinic.
"How many Onda lifting sessions do I need?" is the most common question asked by those considering lifting for the first time.
To put it simply, you need at least 3 sessions to see noticeable changes in elasticity.
We will explain how Onda lifting works and why the number of sessions is important, in order.
Onda lifting is a lifting device that uses 2.45 gigahertz microwave energy.
Microwaves have the characteristic of simultaneously delivering thermal energy from the skin surface to the dermis and subcutaneous fat layers.
Unlike Shurink or Ulthera, which use ultrasound, Onda lifting uses a microwave method, so the heat spreads over a wider area and is delivered smoothly.
While existing radiofrequency devices primarily delivered heat to the dermis, Onda lifting stimulates the fat layer as well, addressing both elasticity improvement and volume reduction.
When thermal energy is delivered, collagen regeneration is promoted, and fat cell metabolism is activated, leading to a reduction in swelling and sagging.
Onda lifting is recommended for those concerned with facial sagging, double chin, cheek sagging, and jowl management.
It is also sometimes used for sagging and cellulite management in areas like the arms or abdomen, not just the face.
It is particularly well-suited for those who are concerned about decreased skin elasticity and localized fat volume simultaneously.

The procedure involves applying anesthetic cream after cleansing and disinfection, allowing time for absorption, and then proceeding.
Using the dedicated Onda lifting handpiece, energy is applied to the face with a moving motion, and the procedure concludes with soothing care.
During the procedure, skin temperature is monitored, and output is adjusted to minimize the risk of burns.
The total time required is approximately 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the area.
Since the procedure is performed after applying anesthetic cream, pain is managed to the extent of warmth and tingling.
Redness may remain immediately after the procedure, but it usually subsides on the same day or the next, allowing for a quick return to daily life.
Light makeup is possible from the day after the procedure.

How many Onda lifting sessions are appropriate?
While a temporary feeling of elasticity can be experienced with just one Onda lifting session, at least 3 sessions are required to observe changes such as collagen regeneration and fat metabolism improvement.
Typically, 3 sessions are performed at intervals of 3 to 4 weeks, and for areas with severe sagging or significant fat volume, it may be extended to 5 sessions.
The reason for dividing the procedure into multiple sessions is that skin and fat tissue require a certain amount of time to react and regenerate.

Compared to lifting devices like Shurink or InMode FX, Onda lifting differs in that it simultaneously addresses both the dermis and fat layers.
Shurink is a device that precisely targets the fascia layer with ultrasound, while InMode FX is focused on fat reduction.
Onda lifting stimulates both areas at once, making it a worthwhile option for those concerned about both sagging and volume.

While many people wonder how many Onda lifting sessions are needed to see results, it's common to judge the outcome after only one session.
Immediately after one session, a temporary feeling of elasticity appears as swelling subsides, while the true changes through collagen regeneration gradually emerge over several weeks following the procedure.
Considering this rate of change, it is considered standard to perform at least 3 sessions at 4-week intervals.

Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic's Unique Onda Lifting Procedure Expertise
At Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic, when performing Onda lifting, we pay as much attention to the design and application method of each session as we do to the session plan.
At Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic, facial design is always performed in a seated position before the lifting procedure.
Designing while lying down changes the direction of gravity, making it difficult to accurately determine the direction of cheek sagging, which can lead to side effects such as cheek hollowing.
Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic understands this difference and therefore adheres to the principle of seated design.

Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic also differentiates its procedure execution method.
Initially, energy is stably accumulated by moving slowly with high output, and then transitions to a method of moving quickly with standard output.
This sequence is Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic's procedure order designed to minimize pain while maximizing energy delivery efficiency.

Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic continues to provide care even after the procedure is completed.
All lifting procedure details, including Onda lifting, are recorded on a lifting card and shared with the patient.
Records of how many sessions were performed and which areas were focused on remain, serving as reference material when planning future procedures.
