Quick answer · What is Onda Face Lifting?
Onda Face Lifting is a non-surgical contouring treatment that uses Coolwaves microwave technology. The microwaves heat the deeper dermis and subcutaneous layer while the surface is actively cooled, which tightens tissue, stimulates collagen and can reduce localised fullness along the jawline and under the chin. A session usually takes 20–40 minutes, downtime is minimal, and results build over 4–8 weeks.

How it works
Microwave energy that reaches fat and deep dermis
Onda uses Coolwaves microwaves rather than radiofrequency or ultrasound. The energy travels selectively into the deeper dermis and fat layer, where it heats tissue to tighten collagen and reduce small pockets of fullness, while a cooling system keeps the skin surface comfortable and protected.
-
Contour assessment
Your doctor evaluates skin laxity, fat distribution and facial structure, then marks the jawline and chin areas.
-
Coolwaves passes
The cooled handpiece is moved over each zone. You feel warmth that builds gradually, and anaesthesia is usually not needed.
-
Gradual contouring
Mild swelling may last a day or two. Tightening and contour definition improve over the following 4–8 weeks.
Before & after
