We recommend Onda treatments spaced at 4 weeks apart for fat reduction, and 3-4 weeks apart for cellulite treatment.

Skin tightening treatments increase the growth of new collagen and strengthen the skin’s elastin fibres in the treated area. After the treatment natural collagen regeneration makes the skin soft, tighter, smoother. For skin tightening Onda performs by:

Generating heat - the heat caused by Coolwaves causes the immediate shrinkage of collagen fibres in the dermis, the consequence of this is the tightening of flabby skin. The final effect is an improvement of skin laxity.

The Coolwaves have a deep and targeted action on the fat cells which produces the following effects:

1. By targeting the fat cells it causes them to oscillate and heat up affecting the integrity of their outer membranes.

2. This causes a mechanism called “blebbing” which releases the contained quantity of fat.

3. As the membrane loses structural integrity. The cell membrane ruptures, and the fat cell is destroyed (lipolysis).

4. The integrated cooling system integrated into the smart handpieces ensures that lipocytes are broken down, while the skin stays cool for maximum comfort.

5. The release of fat stimulates an influx of macrophages from the blood, to collect the fat.

6. Once the macrophages have cleared the excess fat, they migrate to the lymphatic system to be drained away. In this way the fat is eliminated from the body.

Extensive scientific evidence concludes that up to 98% of women and 10% of men suffer from cellulite. For Cellulite, Onda Performs in 2 ways:

1. The septa becomes fibrotic and less elastic due to cellulite. Coolwaves regenerates the elastin fibres of collagen. The final result is a visible improvement of the orange peel appearance through the release of constricted fat lobules.

2. By reducing the volume of adipocytes (fat cells), with the targeted action of the smart handpieces. There is less outward pressure on the skin, leading to an improved circulation, lymphatic drainage and therefore less water retention. 

Most people are suitable for treatment. With the ONDA we can treat all skin types. We recommend a consultation to ascertain if the treatment will be successful for you.

Aftercare:

• Avoid intense heat exposure (hot tubs, saunas) for 24 to 48 hours unless advised otherwise.
• Stay well-hydrated to support lymphatic drainage and fat metabolism.
• Massage or light movement can help with lymphatic drainage as recommended by your clinician.
• Wear comfortable clothing over treated areas if needed to prevent friction.
• Use sun protection for any facial or neck exposure if the skin appears sun-exposed or slightly red.
• Avoid significant weight fluctuations during the treatment window to keep results consistent.

Unfortunately, people with the following conditions are unlikely to be suitable for treatment:

• Pregnancy
• Heart problems
• Metal implants or pacemakers
• Severe clotting disorders
• Current or recent cancer
• Severe vascular disease
• Skin disease in the treatment area
• Uncontrolled diabetes
• Under the age of 16

Treatment with the ONDA is particularly effective on stubborn areas of fat such as: stomach, love handles, thighs, saddlebags, back and upper arms. Thighs, buttocks and arms also respond well.

Radio frequency can be more unreliable in terms of results due to the ‘resistance’ of the skin to RF. Whilst RF energy can get stuck in the epidermis and the dermis, the majority of all the ONDA Coolwaves actually reach the fat layers providing more effective and long lasting results.

In RF excessive heat build up in the skin risks tissue damage, and causes a lot of discomfort. The ONDA Coolwaves on the other hand remains comfortable and cool as the name suggests.
