Onda Lifting in Seoul | Forever Clinic Myeongdong

Medically reviewed by Dr. Lee Chan-jong, Medical Director, Forever Clinic Myeongdong · Last reviewed July 2026

Onda uses microwave energy tuned to be absorbed selectively by subcutaneous fat while also warming the dermis. It occupies a useful middle position: less aggressive than focused ultrasound, but capable of addressing small pockets of fat that lifting devices alone do not reach — the lower face and jowl area in particular.

Onda Lifting at Forever Clinic Myeongdong

Protocol

How it is performed here

Assessed against fat volumeOnda is appropriate where laxity is accompanied by localised fat. Where the concern is purely descent, a different modality is recommended instead.
Delivered in a moving passEnergy is applied in continuous passes rather than fixed points, which is what keeps heating even across the treatment field.
Course rather than single sessionThe response builds across sessions; a staged course is standard.

Questions

Onda Lifting FAQ

Is Onda painful?

Most patients describe it as a warm sensation rather than pain, and no anaesthetic is normally required.

How soon can I return to normal activity?

Immediately. There is no downtime and no visible marking in most cases.

How does it compare with HIFU?

HIFU delivers focused energy to discrete depths for lifting. Onda warms a broader volume and acts on fat as well as skin, so the two are chosen for different presentations.
