Quick answer · What is Onda Body Lifting?
Onda Body Lifting is a non-surgical treatment using the Onda Coolwaves microwave device to firm loose skin and reduce localised fat on the body. Microwaves heat the fat layer and deep dermis while the surface is cooled, which reduces fat cells and stimulates new collagen. Each area takes 20–40 minutes with minimal downtime, and most patients need two to four sessions 3–4 weeks apart. It is not a weight-loss treatment.

How it works
Microwave heat that firms skin and slims the layer beneath
Unlike radiofrequency devices that mainly heat the skin, Onda's Coolwaves microwaves reach deeper into the fat layer while the surface stays cool. The heat reduces fat cells and contracts collagen in the deep dermis, triggering new collagen and elastin. The result is a firmer, more lifted look on areas such as the upper arms and lower abdomen.
-
Consultation & analysis
Your doctor assesses skin laxity and fat thickness, then marks the areas and chooses the handpiece.
-
Coolwaves treatment
The cooled handpiece glides over each area, delivering gradual deep warmth for about 20–40 minutes.
-
Firming builds
Some tightening may be felt straight away. Firmer skin and a slimmer outline develop over four to eight weeks.
Before & after
