Myeongdong ONDA Lifting: How Microwave Lifting Works & What to Know Before Treatment





 Hello,
I’m Dr. Youjoo Hwang, 

Director of Lijin Clinic in Myeongdong, Seoul.



In clinic, 

many patients searching for 

lifting treatments in Myeongdong 

come in with concerns like:



“My face looks heavier than before”

“My jawline has become less defined”



For these concerns, 

we often recommend ONDA lifting,

a non-invasive microwave-based lifting treatment 

that targets both skin laxity and facial contour.





Today, I’ll explain:

how ONDA lifting works

what makes it different from RF lifting

what to consider before treatment




"The Principles of ONDA Lifting"



1. What Is ONDA Lifting? (Microwave Lifting Technology)



ONDA lifting is 

a microwave-based skin tightening treatment

that delivers energy into the deeper layers of the skin.



Unlike traditional RF lifting treatments,

ONDA penetrates deeper, targeting:

✔️ the dermis (collagen layer)

✔️ the subcutaneous fat layer





This is made possible 

through Coolwaves™ technology,

which allows selective energy delivery 

while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.



2. ONDA vs RF Lifting: What’s the Difference?



ONDA lifting reaches deeper layers than RF lifting



The key difference lies in depth and selectivity:


RF lifting

→ primarily targets the dermis

→ focuses on skin tightening


ONDA lifting (microwave)

→ reaches both dermis and fat layer

→ improves firmness + reduces localized fat



Because of this, 

ONDA is not just about tightening—

it also helps with facial contouring and jawline definition.




3. How ONDA Improves Skin & Contour


Before (left) and after (right): 

the epidermis (dark pink) remains unchanged, while collagen activity is stimulated within the dermis




ONDA works through two main mechanisms:


In the dermis

→ stimulates collagen production

→ improves skin elasticity and texture


In the fat layer

→ reduces excess fat gradually

→ refines facial contours



This dual effect makes ONDA a popular option for patients looking for:

✔️ non-surgical face slimming

✔️ jawline contouring in Myeongdong

✔️ lifting without downtime



Results develop gradually over 2–3 months,

as collagen remodeling and fat reduction take place.




4. 3mm vs 7mm Handpiece: Why It Matters



ONDA uses different handpieces depending on treatment depth:

3mm handpiece
→ targets dermis
→ improves skin texture and firmness

7mm handpiece
→ targets subcutaneous fat
→ reduces localized fat and defines contour

Choosing the correct depth is essential because:

✔️ facial areas vary in skin thickness

✔️ fat distribution differs across regions

✔️ treatment goals are highly individual



A customized approach helps achieve

natural-looking, balanced results.



5. Who Is a Good Candidate for ONDA Lifting?



ONDA is commonly recommended for patients who

✔️ notice facial heaviness or mild sagging

✔️ want jawline definition without surgery

✔️ are looking for non-invasive lifting in Seoul

✔️ have localized facial fat (lower face, chin area)




"What to Consider Before ONDA treatment"



Although ONDA is a relatively gentle treatment,

there are important factors to consider.



1) Facial Balance Matters


Each area of the face serves a different purpose:

✔️ some areas require volume preservation

✔️ others benefit from fat reduction


Treating all areas the same can lead to

unnatural volume changes.




2) Energy Control Is Key


Since ONDA uses heat energy:

✔️ excessive energy in one area should be avoided

✔️ proper movement speed and technique are essential




3) Treatment Timing


If you’ve recently had

 skin boosters (Rejuran, Juvelook, etc.) 

or regenerative treatments,

we recommend waiting 

at least 2 weeks before ONDA.




4) Possible Temporary Reactions


Depending on your skin condition, 

you may experience

mild warmth or temporary sensitivity.


These are usually short-lived.





At our clinic, we focus on

enhancing natural balance rather than creating excessive change.



If you’re searching for

ONDA lifting in Myeongdong or Seoul,



I recommend a personalized consultation

to determine the most suitable approach for your face.
