Onda Face vs Ultherapy: Which Skin Tightening Treatment Is Best for You?

“If you are excited to understand more about Onda Face or Ultherapy treatment, please consult our experienced doctors at Kaiteki Clinic. We will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs! “

Introduction

Having difficulty choosing between Ultherapy or Onda? Let us break it down for you. Both treatments aim at skin tightening and skin rejuvenation but the technology behind them works differently from each other. Here at Kaiteki we can help you make the best decision base on your treatment goals, comfort level and your desired outcome.

Ultherapy

The only FDA approved microfocused ultrasound device which provides real time visualization of different layers under the skin. Delivers ultrasound energy up to the SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System) layer. Helps with firming and lifting of the skin, improving sagging and also provides collagen remodeling. Gradual improvement is seen over 2-3 months with results often lasting up to a year or more.

Onda Face

Uses Coolwaves*™* (Microwave-based energy) to target and break down fat cells. Helps with facial contouring, gradual fat reduction and also skin tightening over time. Will require repeated sessions for better results over time.

Comparing treatment applications

Ultherapy treats sagging and laxity around the face, jawline and neck. Ideal for people with mild to moderate sagging who wants a non-surgical facelift; while Onda helps to reduce hard to lose areas of stubborn fat ie; double chin.

Both of them helps with antiaging and skin rejuvenation by collagen stimulation over time. Treatment choice will be dependent on whether main aim would be to target reduction of fat or treating sagging and laxity. Both treatments can also be combined for a synergistic result with a more contoured and lifted face.

Patient experience and comfort

Ultherapy

Slight discomfort that is often described as tingling sensation.

Onda Face

Pain free experience thanks to the cooling effect of coolwaves. The mild warm sensation delivered will just simulate a very gentle massage.

Results, Safety and side effects

Expected outcomes

For lifting and tightening of sagging skin, Ultherapy would be the gold standard as the focus ultrasound energy can penetrate deep into the SMAS layers. For targeted fat reduction Onda would be the more optimal choice.

Ultherapy will yield a visible lift and tightening after 2-3 months with long lasting collagen stimulation set to last months. For Onda, the contouring and bulk reduction will be more noticeable with each cumulative session.

A combination treatment would be recommended if you would like to target both sagging and fat bulk reduction at the same time.

Downtime and recovery

Both treatments are relatively safe, non-invasive with little to no downtime.

However, there might be a slight risk of having a mild swelling, sensitivity or nerve tingling after Ultherapy, but the side effects rarely stay for long.

Session Duration and Frequency

Onda

The duration of treatment is usually around 30-40 minutes. Will require multiple sessions for optimal results with frequency ranging from biweekly to monthly (depending on desired outcome and individual response to treatment).

Ultherapy

The duration of treatment is usually around 45 minutes-90 minutes. A single treatment will usually last for around 1 year to 2 years. Tightening and collagen stimulation is usually gradual and results seen around 2-3 months after initial treatment.
