Quick answer · What is Body Onda?
Body Onda is a non-surgical contouring treatment that uses Coolwaves microwave energy to heat the subcutaneous fat layer while the skin surface is cooled. The heat damages fat cells, which the body clears over the following weeks, and also stimulates collagen to firm the skin. Sessions take 30–60 minutes per area with no downtime, and most patients need three to four sessions 3–4 weeks apart.

How it works
Microwave energy aimed at the fat layer, with the skin kept cool
Onda's Coolwaves microwaves pass through the cooled skin surface and concentrate most of their energy in the fat layer. The heated fat cells are gradually broken down and cleared by the body, while some energy reaches the dermis to stimulate collagen. Different handpieces treat thicker fat or more superficial laxity.
-
Body assessment
Your doctor measures fat thickness and skin laxity, then chooses the handpiece and marks the zones.
-
Coolwaves treatment
The cooled handpiece glides over the area. You feel warmth building gradually, like a hot stone massage.
-
Gradual contouring
Some firmness may be felt straight away. Fat reduction and smoother texture develop over four to eight weeks.
Before & after
A slimmer, smoother outline
