Onda Lifting CoolWaves Skin Tightening in Gangnam Seoul
Onda Lifting delivers patented CoolWaves microwave technology at 2.45 GHz for selective fat reduction and deep dermal tightening without damaging surface skin. RE:BERRY Gangnam is a DEKA Onda Premium Certified Clinic offering face lifting and body contouring protocols — 2 minutes from Gangnam Station.
What Is Onda Lifting?
Onda Lifting uses patented CoolWaves microwave energy at 2.45 GHz to selectively target subcutaneous fat and stimulate deep collagen remodeling for simultaneous skin tightening and body contouring with zero downtime, starting at ₩720,000 for Onda 40kJ + Titanium 40kJ at RE:BERRY Gangnam Seoul.
Unlike conventional radiofrequency or ultrasound devices that heat tissue indiscriminately from the surface downward, Onda’s CoolWaves technology operates at a frequency specifically absorbed by water molecules within adipose tissue. This selective absorption means subcutaneous fat cells are heated to therapeutic temperatures while the dermis, epidermis, and surrounding structures remain protected by an integrated Peltier cooling system. The result is a dual action: localized fat cell apoptosis (permanent reduction) combined with deep dermal collagen contraction and neocollagenesis. DEKA, the Italian manufacturer, engineered three dedicated handpieces — Shallow, Deep, and Cellulite — each calibrated for different tissue depths and clinical indications. At RE:BERRY Gangnam, Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu uses Onda Lifting as both a standalone face-lifting treatment and as part of multi-device protocols combined with Thermage FLX and Sofwave for comprehensive tissue remodeling. The Onda Lifting procedure requires no anesthesia, produces no visible wounds, and allows immediate return to daily activities.

How Onda Lifting Works at RE:BERRY Gangnam
Our four-step Onda Lifting protocol ensures precise CoolWaves delivery for maximum fat reduction and skin tightening results.
Consultation & Treatment Mapping
Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu evaluates your skin laxity, fat distribution, and aesthetic goals using clinical assessment. He selects the appropriate Onda handpiece (Shallow for face tightening, Deep for fat reduction, or Cellulite for dimpling) and maps the treatment zones with precise energy settings tailored to your anatomy.
Skin Preparation & Handpiece Selection
The treatment area is cleansed and the appropriate CoolWaves handpiece is configured. Onda’s integrated Peltier cooling system is activated to maintain epidermal temperature below 42 degrees Celsius throughout the Onda Lifting session, ensuring patient comfort while CoolWaves penetrate to the target depth.
CoolWaves Energy Delivery
Microwave energy at 2.45 GHz is delivered in controlled pulses across the mapped treatment zones. The Onda Lifting handpiece glides over the skin while CoolWaves selectively heat subcutaneous tissue to 58-65 degrees Celsius, triggering adipocyte apoptosis and immediate collagen contraction without surface damage.
Post-Treatment & Follow-Up
No special aftercare is required. Mild warmth or slight redness may occur and resolves within 1-2 hours. Patients return to normal activities immediately. A follow-up at 4-8 weeks assesses fat reduction and collagen remodeling progress, with additional sessions planned if needed.
What to Expect from Onda Lifting
- Selective CoolWaves Technology: 2.45 GHz microwave energy targets water molecules in fat cells while sparing the dermis, epidermis, and surrounding structures. Onda Lifting achieves dual action: fat reduction plus skin tightening.
- Three Specialized Handpieces: Shallow handpiece for dermal tightening, Deep for subcutaneous fat, and Cellulite for fibrous septa. Each calibrated for a specific tissue depth and clinical indication.
- Built-In Cooling Protection: Integrated Peltier cooling maintains skin surface temperature below 42 degrees Celsius throughout treatment, preventing burns while CoolWaves heat target tissue to 58-65 degrees.
- Zero Downtime: No incisions, no anesthesia, no compression garments. Patients return to work, exercise, and daily activities immediately after Onda Lifting at RE:BERRY Gangnam.
- Permanent Fat Reduction: Adipocyte apoptosis induced by CoolWaves is permanent. Destroyed fat cells do not regenerate, providing lasting body contouring results when combined with a stable weight.
- Complementary to Other Devices: Onda Lifting pairs naturally with RF and ultrasound devices for multi-depth protocols. RE:BERRY’s Signature Lifting Package combines Onda with Ultherapy, Sofwave, and Revinas.

The Science Behind Onda Lifting CoolWaves
Peer-reviewed research and clinical evidence supporting Onda CoolWaves technology for fat reduction and skin tightening.
Microwave Technology at 2.45 GHz: Selective Fat Targeting
Onda’s CoolWaves technology operates at 2.45 GHz, a microwave frequency specifically chosen for its differential absorption properties in biological tissue. At this frequency, electromagnetic energy is preferentially absorbed by water molecules within adipocytes (fat cells) compared to the surrounding connective tissue and dermis. The dielectric properties of subcutaneous fat tissue cause CoolWaves energy to concentrate heat generation within the adipose layer, raising intracellular temperature to 58-65 degrees Celsius. This targeted heating induces controlled adipocyte apoptosis — programmed cell death — without thermal damage to the overlying skin. The body’s lymphatic system then naturally eliminates the disrupted fat cells over the following 4-8 weeks, resulting in permanent, measurable volume reduction in treated areas.
Integrated Peltier Cooling: Epidermal Protection
A critical safety feature of the Onda system is its integrated Peltier cooling mechanism. While CoolWaves energy penetrates to subcutaneous depths, the Peltier element continuously cools the epidermal surface to below 42 degrees Celsius. This temperature differential creates a therapeutic window where deep tissue is heated sufficiently for biological effect while the skin surface remains below the threshold for thermal injury. The cooling operates automatically throughout treatment, requiring no manual intervention, and maintains consistent protection regardless of treatment duration or energy level. This engineering approach allows Onda Lifting to achieve its dual fat-reduction and skin-tightening effects in a single session without the bruising, numbness, or prolonged recovery associated with body contouring alternatives like cryolipolysis.
Collagen Remodeling and Skin Tightening Mechanism
Beyond fat reduction, Onda CoolWaves stimulate significant collagen remodeling in the deep dermis. The controlled thermal energy triggers a wound-healing cascade that includes fibroblast activation, new Type I and Type III collagen synthesis, and reorganization of existing collagen fibers. The Shallow handpiece is specifically designed to maximize this dermal effect, delivering CoolWaves at reduced penetration depth to concentrate energy in the collagen-rich reticular dermis. Clinical assessments demonstrate measurable improvement in skin firmness and elasticity beginning at 4 weeks post-treatment, with continued improvement through 6 months as the collagen remodeling cycle completes.
Clinical Evidence and Published Outcomes
Bacci et al. (2019) published a multicenter study evaluating CoolWaves technology in 150 patients treated for localized adiposity on the abdomen and flanks. Ultrasound measurements at 90 days showed an average fat layer reduction of 2.1 cm, with 92% patient satisfaction. Histological analysis confirmed adipocyte disruption without epidermal or dermal injury. Fabi et al. (2020) demonstrated that CoolWaves treatment improved skin laxity scores by 1.5 grades on the Alexiades-Armenakas scale in patients treated for arm and thigh laxity, with effects persisting at 12-month follow-up. Bonan et al. (2020) showed that the Cellulite handpiece significantly improved cellulite severity scores (CSS) by an average of 3.2 points in 40 female patients, with objective photographic improvement confirmed by blinded evaluators.
