Onda Lifting in Myeongdong Seoul — Coolwaves Skin Tightening
RE:BERRY Myeongdong delivers Onda lifting using patented Coolwaves microwave technology that selectively targets the dermis, subcutaneous fat, and fibrous septa without surface damage. Achieve measurable skin tightening and body contouring in a single 30-minute session with minimal downtime. Over 3,000 Onda lifting treatments performed at our Myeongdong location.
What Is Onda Lifting and How Much Does It Cost in Myeongdong?
Onda lifting is a non-surgical microwave skin tightening treatment using Coolwaves technology at 2.45 GHz frequency, costing from ₩1,550,000 for an 80kJ combination package at RE:BERRY Myeongdong, with results lasting 12-18 months after a single 30-minute session requiring zero downtime.
Onda lifting has become one of Seoul’s most sought-after non-invasive lifting treatments because it addresses three concerns simultaneously: skin laxity, localized fat, and cellulite. Unlike radiofrequency or ultrasound devices, Onda uses microwave energy at a precise 2.45 GHz frequency that penetrates to targeted tissue depths without overheating the epidermis. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, Head Director Dr. Seung-Jae Baek customizes each Onda lifting protocol using three specialized handpieces — Shallow, Deep, and Smart — to treat everything from facial sagging to body contouring. The clinic’s location just 2 minutes from Myeongdong Station makes it ideal for international visitors seeking effective non-surgical facelift options during their Seoul trip. With 8-language support and transparent pricing, RE:BERRY Myeongdong has performed over 3,000 Onda lifting sessions for patients from 40+ countries.
How Onda Lifting Works at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
A streamlined four-step Onda lifting protocol designed for optimal results with maximum patient comfort.
Pre-Treatment Assessment & Energy Mapping
Dr. Seung-Jae Baek performs a detailed skin and tissue analysis, identifying areas of laxity, fat deposits, and cellulite. Using clinical measurements and patient goals, he creates a customized Onda lifting energy map specifying kJ doses per zone. This precision approach ensures that Coolwaves energy targets exactly the right tissue depth — 2mm for dermal tightening, 4mm for fat reduction, or 12mm for deep fibrous septa treatment.
Handpiece Selection & Treatment Setup
Onda features three patented handpieces: Shallow (dermal tightening), Deep (subcutaneous fat disruption), and Smart (fibrous septa for cellulite). For facial Onda lifting, Dr. Baek typically uses the Shallow handpiece at 80-120kJ across the jawline, jowls, and neck. For body contouring at RE:BERRY Myeongdong, the Deep handpiece targets love handles, double chin, and inner thighs. Treatment areas are marked and a thin layer of coupling gel is applied.
Coolwaves Microwave Energy Delivery
The Onda handpiece delivers controlled microwave energy at 2.45 GHz with integrated skin cooling. Each pulse lasts microseconds, raising the target tissue temperature to 55-65°C while keeping the epidermis below 42°C. This selective heating triggers immediate collagen contraction and initiates neocollagenesis. Most patients describe the sensation as a warm, deep pulsing feeling. A full-face Onda lifting session takes approximately 20-30 minutes, while body areas require 30-45 minutes depending on treatment zones.
Immediate Aftercare & Travel-Friendly Recovery
Post-Onda lifting, mild warmth and slight redness may last 1-2 hours. There is no downtime — patients leave RE:BERRY Myeongdong and resume normal activities immediately. You can apply makeup, exercise, and fly on the same day. Dr. Seung-Jae Baek provides printed aftercare in your language. Results develop progressively: initial tightening is visible within 1 week, with collagen remodeling continuing for 3-6 months. Our team provides remote follow-up via WhatsApp or LINE.

The Science Behind Onda Lifting and Coolwaves Technology
Peer-reviewed research validating microwave-based tissue remodeling for non-surgical lifting and body contouring.
How Coolwaves Microwave Technology Differs from RF and Ultrasound
Onda lifting employs Coolwaves, a proprietary microwave emission at 2.45 GHz that is selectively absorbed by water molecules in subcutaneous tissues. Unlike monopolar radiofrequency which heats tissue non-selectively through impedance, or focused ultrasound which creates point lesions at fixed depths, Coolwaves generate uniform volumetric heating across the entire target layer. The device integrates a constant skin cooling system that maintains the epidermis below 42°C while the dermis and subcutis reach therapeutic temperatures of 55-65°C. This differential heating profile allows RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s physicians to treat skin laxity, localized fat, and cellulite in the same session using different handpiece configurations.
Clinical Evidence for Dermal Tightening with Onda Lifting
Histological studies have demonstrated that Coolwaves microwave energy induces immediate collagen denaturation and subsequent neocollagenesis in the reticular dermis. Bacci et al. (2019) conducted a prospective study of 50 patients receiving Onda treatment to the abdomen and found a statistically significant increase in dermal thickness of 25.3% at 90 days post-treatment, confirmed by high-frequency ultrasonography. The mechanism involves heat-induced unfolding of collagen triple-helix structures, which triggers fibroblast activation and new type I and III collagen synthesis. For facial Onda lifting applications, the Shallow handpiece delivers energy at 2mm depth, specifically targeting the papillary and reticular dermis where collagen density determines skin firmness and elasticity.
Fat Reduction and Cellulite Improvement Mechanisms
The Deep handpiece of the Onda system targets adipocytes at 4mm depth, inducing selective adipocyte apoptosis through controlled thermal damage. Sasaki et al. (2020) reported an average circumferential reduction of 2.1 cm in treated areas at 12 weeks following a single Onda session, with MRI confirmation of fat layer reduction without damage to overlying skin or underlying muscle. For cellulite, the Smart handpiece reaches fibrous septa at 12mm depth, disrupting the collagen bands responsible for skin dimpling. Combined with comprehensive body contouring at RE:BERRY Myeongdong, Onda lifting delivers multi-dimensional tissue remodeling in a single treatment session.
Safety Profile and Skin Type Compatibility
Microwave energy at 2.45 GHz is chromophore-independent — it does not interact with melanin, hemoglobin, or water in the epidermis preferentially. This makes Onda lifting safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types (I-VI) without the post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation risk associated with laser and some RF devices. Kolodney et al. (2021) evaluated 120 patients across skin types I-V and reported zero cases of post-treatment dyspigmentation, burns, or scarring. The most common side effects were transient erythema lasting 30-60 minutes and mild tenderness for 24-48 hours. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, this favorable safety profile makes Onda lifting especially popular among Asian patients who are more susceptible to melanin-related side effects from other energy devices.

What Patients Say About Onda Lifting at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
“I came for Onda lifting on my jawline during a 3-day Seoul trip. Zero pain, zero downtime. By the time I got home to Singapore, I could already feel my skin was tighter. At month 3, my jawline looks completely different.”
“Dr. Baek combined Onda 80kJ with Titanium for my saggy lower face and it was the best decision. The dual-energy approach lifted my jowls and defined my jawline without surgery. I paid ₩1,550,000 total which is half what I would pay in Tokyo.”
“I had Onda lifting for body contouring on my abdomen and love handles. The session took about 40 minutes and I flew back to Bangkok that evening. After 3 months I lost 2cm off my waist measurement. Very impressed with RE:BERRY Myeongdong.”

Onda lifting treats 3 tissue layers (dermis, fat, fibrous septa) while Thermage FLX targets only dermal collagen via radiofrequency. Onda also scores 2-3/10 on pain versus Thermage’s 4-6/10. For patients who need both tightening and fat reduction (e.g., double chin), Onda is more versatile. See our non-surgical facelift guide for detailed device comparisons.
Onda uses 2.45 GHz microwave Coolwaves for volumetric heating, while Ultherapy uses micro-focused ultrasound for point coagulation. Onda treats wider areas faster (20-30 min vs 60-90 min) with less pain. Ultherapy targets the SMAS layer specifically. RE:BERRY Myeongdong offers both — Dr. Seung-Jae Baek recommends the best option based on your anatomy.
Onda lifting results last 12-18 months, while Sofwave results last approximately 12 months. Onda offers additional fat reduction capability that Sofwave lacks. Many patients at RE:BERRY Myeongdong combine both: Sofwave for superficial dermal tightening and Onda for deeper tissue remodeling.
