ONDA Lifting: Pain-Free Fat Reduction & Skin Tightening

ONDA uses Coolwaves microwave technology for non-invasive fat reduction and skin tightening — face, double chin, arms, abdomen, and thighs with no downtime.

What is ONDA?

ONDA is a medical device developed by DEKA (Italy) that uses Coolwaves — a proprietary microwave frequency at 2.45 GHz — to selectively target fat cells and stimulate collagen remodeling in the skin. Unlike traditional radiofrequency devices that heat all tissue layers, Coolwaves technology delivers energy specifically to the fat layer and dermal layer, allowing for effective treatment with minimal discomfort and no downtime.

How Coolwaves technology works

Coolwaves operate at a specific microwave frequency that is selectively absorbed by fat cells. The energy causes localized heating of adipose tissue, leading to gradual fat cell reduction through the body's natural metabolic process. Simultaneously, the controlled thermal effect stimulates fibroblasts in the dermis to produce new collagen, resulting in firmer, tighter skin over the treated area.

  • 2.45 GHz microwave frequency selectively targets fat cells
  • Three handpieces for different depths: superficial skin tightening, deep fat reduction, and cellulite
  • Built-in cooling system protects the skin surface during treatment
  • No anesthesia required — most patients describe a warm sensation

Treatment areas

ONDA is versatile enough to treat both facial and body areas. For the face, it is commonly used on the jawline and submental area (double chin) to improve definition. For the body, it is effective on the abdomen, flanks, upper arms, inner thighs, and areas with stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise. Each session takes 20-30 minutes depending on the treatment area.

Results and what to expect

Many patients notice visible improvement after a single session, with optimal results developing over 2-3 months as collagen remodeling continues. A typical treatment plan involves 3-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. There is no downtime — patients can return to normal activities immediately. Mild warmth or redness in the treated area may last a few hours.

Who is ONDA suitable for?

ONDA is ideal for patients who want non-invasive fat reduction without surgery or downtime. It is especially popular among patients who find energy-based lifting procedures too painful, as ONDA treatments are generally comfortable without any anesthesia. It is not a weight-loss treatment — it is designed for localized fat reduction and skin tightening in patients who are near their target weight.
