How Long Do ONDA Lifting Results Last, and What Affects It?

How long ONDA lifting results last is not fixed at a single number. It is commonly said to be around six months to a year, but it varies greatly from person to person depending on fat volume, degree of sagging, weight change after treatment, and the number of sessions received. Because changes build up over several weeks to several months, knowing what shortens the results, rather than when they end, makes it easier to decide when to have the next treatment.

Why does the duration of ONDA lifting results differ from person to person?

ONDA delivers heat to the subcutaneous fat layer and the dermis with 2.45GHz microwave energy. Heat that reaches the fat layer works to reduce fat cells, and heat that reaches the dermis works to stimulate the process of producing new collagen. Reduced fat cells are unlikely to increase again, but the remaining fat cells can grow larger if you gain weight, and newly produced collagen also gradually decreases with age. So even when treated with the same energy, how long you notice the results varies with your lifestyle afterward and the pace of aging.

Factors That Affect How Long ONDA Lifting Results Last

• In areas where heavy fat made the contours look weighed down, fat reduction plays a large role, so contour changes tend to last if you maintain your weight.
• If you gain weight after treatment, the remaining fat cells grow larger, and the jawline may look heavy again.
• Sagging caused by loosened fascia or ligaments is hard to address through the fat layer and dermis alone, so treatments for other layers are considered as well.
• Changes accumulate when treatment is divided into several sessions spaced apart rather than done once.
• UV rays, smoking, and lack of sleep speed up the rate at which collagen decreases.

At our Suwon clinic, ONDA is divided into full-face 40KJ, 60KJ, and 80KJ and double chin and jawline 20KJ, and offered as single-session and 3-session courses.

Redness, a feeling of heat, and mild swelling may occur after treatment and usually subside within a short time. For about a week, avoid saunas, hot baths, strenuous exercise, drinking, and smoking, and if blisters or a burning sensation persist, contact the clinic. If you are pregnant or have a pacemaker or metal implants in your body, you must let us know before treatment.

FAQ

Q. How many times a year should I get ONDA lifting?

A. At first, treatment is divided into several sessions spaced apart to build up changes, and after that, maintenance treatments continue when the contours start to look heavy again. The number of sessions is decided individually after an examination, based on fat volume, degree of sagging, and the response after previous treatments.

Q. If I gain weight after ONDA lifting, will the changes disappear?

A. Reduced fat cells don't increase again, but the remaining fat cells grow larger when you gain weight. If you gain a lot of weight, the jawline and double chin may look less defined again, so keeping your weight about the same after treatment helps the changes last.

Q. Does a higher KJ for ONDA lifting mean the results last longer?

A. KJ is the total amount of energy delivered in one session, so it is closer to a criterion for deciding the treatment area and density. A larger number does not proportionally extend how long results last; the first step is setting the energy to fit the size of the face, fat volume, and skin thickness.
