Onda Coolwaves Body Contouring
A non-invasive treatment using Coolwaves microwave technology to target localised fat, cellulite and skin laxity in the same session.
About the Treatment
Onda uses Coolwaves — microwaves delivered at 2.45GHz, a frequency more readily absorbed by fat than by water. Because skin contains far more water than fat, the microwaves largely pass through the upper skin layers without overheating them, concentrating most of their energy on the fat layer beneath.
This heating disrupts the membranes of fat cells in the treated area, which the body then processes and clears naturally over time. The same heating action affects the connective tissue responsible for cellulite's dimpled appearance, and can stimulate new collagen production — which is why Onda is used to address fat, cellulite and skin laxity in a single treatment, rather than needing separate treatments for each.
Common treatment areas include the abdomen, thighs, hips and buttocks.
-
Your practitioner will assess your goals and the areas you'd like treated at consultation, and advise whether Onda or an alternative such as truSculpt is better suited to your circumstances. During treatment, you may feel warmth in the treated area as the device is passed over your skin.
-
This depends on the area being treated and your individual goals. Your practitioner will recommend a treatment plan suited to you at consultation.
-
As with any RF or microwave-based treatment, Onda carries some risks. These can include, but are not limited to:
Redness, warmth or temporary sensitivity in the treated area
Swelling or bruising
Changes in skin sensation, in less common cases
Uneven results between treated areas
Your practitioner will discuss the risks relevant to your specific treatment before proceeding.
-
Mild sensitivity or warmth in the treated area is common after treatment and generally settles within a short period. There's no specific downtime, and most people return to normal activities immediately.
-
As with any body contouring treatment, individual results vary. Results build gradually as the body processes affected fat cells and new collagen forms, and maintaining results depends on your ongoing lifestyle, since new fat cells can still form over time. Your practitioner will discuss realistic expectations for your specific goals at consultation.
Costs will be confirmed during your consultation, tailored to your treatment plan.
