ALLTITE and ONDA: how to decide whether to combine them for your first lifting?
When reduced elasticity in the dermis and weight in the subcutaneous fat layer are both present in the same face, we plan ALLTITE and ONDA together.
For a first lifting, rather than starting with device combinations, we first look at what is causing the sagging in your face. If thinning skin and loss of elasticity are the main concern, we consider ALLTITE; if the weight of cheek fat and fat under the jaw is also present, we consider adding ONDA. If only one concern is clearly evident, starting with a single device is also fine.
The layers each device targets
- ALLTITE: It uses radiofrequency-type energy. According to the manufacturer, it targets the dermis and SMAS layer with DLTD technology and cools the skin surface with a semiconductor cooling system.
- ONDA: It uses 2.45GHz microwaves. According to the manufacturer, it generates heat in fat cells of the subcutaneous fat layer and contracts collagen fibers in the dermis.
- Choosing the depth: ONDA uses a 3mm handpiece targeting the dermis and a 7mm handpiece targeting the subcutaneous fat layer, selected according to the area.
| Category | ALLTITE | ONDA |
|---|---|---|
| Main layer reached | Dermis, SMAS layer | Subcutaneous fat layer, dermis |
| Sensation and anesthesia | Performed without a numbing step; inner heat combined with surface cooling | Can be performed without anesthesia; warmth felt beneath the skin |
| Unit for determining the amount | Number of shots (100 to 1,200 shots) | Energy amount and area (20kJ~80kJ) |
| Sessions | 3–5 sessions at 2–4-week intervals, then maintenance 1–2 times a year | 1-session or 3-session package |
| Period to avoid heat exposure | 2~3 days | About one week |
Plans by Concern
1. Faces with thinning skin and reduced elasticity
- Recommended device: ALLTITE
- Recommended interval: every 2–4 weeks
- Recommended number of sessions: 3~5 sessions
- Characteristics: If there is not much facial fat, whether to add a fat-layer treatment is decided after assessing the amount of fat.
2. Faces with heavy cheek fat and fat under the chin
- Recommended device: ONDA
- Recommended options: Double chin and jawline 20kJ, or full face 40kJ, 60kJ, 80kJ
- Characteristics: The focus is on the 7mm handpiece, which targets the subcutaneous fat layer; if skin elasticity also needs attention, the 3mm handpiece is added.
3. Faces with both loss of elasticity and the weight of fat
- Recommended devices: ALLTITE and ONDA
- Characteristics: The dermis and SMAS layer are addressed with ALLTITE, and the subcutaneous fat layer with ONDA. Whether to have both on the same day or space them apart is decided based on your skin reaction and schedule.
4. Faces with little facial fat and concerns about hollow cheeks
- Characteristics: Treatments acting on the fat layer are planned with a narrower area or omitted. Whether to add them is carefully decided after first checking fat distribution.

Care after receiving both devices
- Day of treatment: Wash your face gently with lukewarm water and do not rub the treated area hard. Avoid scrubs and deep-cleansing products.
- Items with different durations: Avoid saunas, jjimjilbang (Korean bathhouses), strenuous exercise, and alcohol for 2~3 days after ALLTITE and for about one week after ONDA. With ONDA, also avoid smoking for about 1 week. If you received both devices on the same day, following the longer period keeps things simple.
- For one week: Postpone treatments that irritate the skin, such as peels and massages.
- Afterward: Heated skin can become dry, so apply plenty of moisturizer and use sunscreen when you go out.
Redness and swelling usually subside within a few days. If they worsen day by day, or if you notice blisters or firm lumps that persist, please contact us right away. Please let us know before treatment if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a pacemaker or metal implants, or have had previous lifting procedures.
FAQ
Q. How does ONDA 20kJ differ from the full-face options?
A. 20kJ targets the double chin and jawline, while 40kJ, 60kJ, and 80kJ cover the entire face. If fat is concentrated around the chin, we consider 20kJ; if it is spread across the whole face, we consider the full-face options.
Q. When can I exercise after receiving both devices?
A. Rest from strenuous exercise for 2~3 days if you received ALLTITE only, or for about one week if you also received ONDA. Check that warmth and redness have fully subsided, then resume starting with light exercise.
Booking and consultation
At Face Filter Clinic Suwon, ALLTITE is offered by number of shots, and ONDA by area and kJ. If you receive both devices together, the number of shots and energy level for each device are determined separately during a personalized consultation.
