Skin Tightening

Microwaves are part of the large family of electromagnetic waves [frequency range: 1 – 300 GHz]. Today they are common in many fields of everyday life including the medical field, for diagnostic or treatment purposes. However, not all microwaves are the same. No other device emits microwaves in the same way as the ONDA system’s smart handpieces! Microwaves lead the molecules absorbing them to oscillate and vibrate, thus heating up the medium that contains the molecules.

The ONDA system handpieces generate microwaves at 2.45 GHz, a frequency that is preferentially absorbed by fat molecules rather than by water molecules. The conductivity of the epidermis and the dermis, which contain plenty of water but not fat, is therefore much greater than the hypodermis’ one. Therefore, when the Coolwaves™ penetrate the skin, they pass straight through the top layers without overheating them (using about 20% of the energy from the microwaves), while they concentrate their effective action on the subcutaneous fat that highly absorbs them (about 80% of the energy).

By contrast, traditional radio frequency systems (frequency range 0.1 – 40 MHz) act only on the surface since highly absorbed by water molecules. This means that they not only fail to penetrate deep into the body to treat fat, but they also risk to damage the skin.

Case Study

ONDA treatment is virtually painless. Due to the skin presenting less resistance to high MW frequencies, Coolwaves™ are able to pass through the skin more readily than other technologies, focusing energy only where it is needed (for example in the subcutaneous adipose tissue in the event of localised fat deposits). This then results in less heating and discomfort on the skin.

A typical 3JUVE treatment takes approximately 1 hour, improvement is evident after the first session, but for optimal results, 3 to 5 treatment sessions are often advised. Treatment is carried out every 2 to 6 weeks depending upon the level of rejuvenation required.

ONDA treatment is a very quick and easy procedure to deliver with treatment times varying depending on area size.

To help put treatment times into perspective, the ONDA device is capable of treating a typical abdomen in 10 – 20 minutes.
