What is the Onda procedure?
High-tech treatments are flooding the market of aesthetic medicine. However, in most cases, new devices used in salons and clinics are newer versions of technologies we already know. And that's great because improving technology makes it more effective and even safer. However, Onda is a completely different case:
Onda uses CoolWaves microwaves, which have a high affinity for fat, not water. What does this mean for us? It means that:
This is also noticeable during the procedure because warmth is felt inside without scorching the skin. According to those using the device, it is a very comfortable feeling. Thanks to the scientifically developed wavelengths, the skin remains intact, and there is no concern that skin cells will be treated like fat cells. This is important because:
Many treatments effectively reduce the volume of fat cells. However, Onda causes the cell membrane in fat cells (adipocytes) to rupture, leading to adipocytolysis, or the death of fat cells, and the change is permanent. Of course, you can return to the state before the treatment, but it is more difficult to gain weight back because the remaining cells will take more time to expand enough to occupy the space of those removed.
The process of removing fat cells occurs in several stages. In short, the metabolic stress generated in the cells by the action of CoolWaves causes their membrane to rupture, ultimately resulting in the removal of the cell.
Considering the above paragraph, one might wonder about the liver. As commonly known, it is usually the most burdened organ when it comes to metabolizing a large amount of fat. So why is Onda safe despite releasing large amounts of fat into the lymphatic system? Because the processes of adipocytolysis after this treatment are not sudden, and fat is released and metabolized over a longer period, giving our body time to regenerate. Of course, it is always worth supporting the liver in such treatments.
The effect of the procedure always depends on individual predispositions and lifestyle, but in the case of this treatment, results are visible to the naked eye a few weeks after it is done, and often a significant difference can be noticed even after just one session.
