Onda Coolwaves

Onda is a non-invasive body- and face-contouring device that uses a microwave-based technology the manufacturer calls Coolwaves®. It is used to address localised fat, skin firmness and the appearance of cellulite on the body, and firmness of the face.

Coolwaves® are a specific range of microwaves delivered beneath the skin's surface. The energy is intended to act on the targeted tissue, for example, localised fat cells or the fibrous bands associated with cellulite, while the built-in cooling helps keep the surface of the skin protected during treatment.

The same energy may also prompt a gradual collagen-remodelling response, which is why the device is used for firmness as well as contouring. Settings are selected by the treating doctor for the area and your skin. Results develop over time and vary between individuals.

Onda is commonly considered for the concerns below. It is not suitable for everyone, and a consultation determines whether it is appropriate for you.

At Kaiteki, Onda is offered in two forms, Onda for Body and Onda for Face, using the same underlying technology at settings suited to each area. Whether it suits you depends on your concern, body area, skin and medical history, which a doctor assesses during consultation. Kaiteki has both the original Onda and the newer Onda Pro.

Onda for Body is used for localised fat and skin firmness, while Onda for Face uses a gentler approach for the face and jawline.

Onda is not a weight-loss treatment; it addresses localised areas rather than overall body weight.

Suitability is assessed individually. It may not be appropriate during pregnancy, with certain implants or medical devices in the treatment area, or with some skin or health conditions.

Please share your full medical history and any devices or implants at consultation so the doctor can advise safely and confirm whether Onda, or another option, is right for you.

A typical visit begins with a doctor consultation and assessment of the area of concern. If Onda is appropriate, a handpiece is moved over the treatment area to deliver the energy while the surface is cooled.

A course of several sessions spaced a few weeks apart is common, but the plan is individual and depends on the area and your response. Your doctor will explain what to expect for you.

Downtime is usually limited, though this varies between individuals. Temporary warmth, redness or mild tenderness over the treated area can occur and typically settles. Most people are able to return to usual activities, and your doctor will give aftercare guidance specific to you.

As with any medical procedure, Onda carries risks, which are explained during consultation. Temporary effects can include redness, swelling, warmth or tenderness in the treated area. Serious effects are uncommon when the treatment is appropriately selected and performed by a trained doctor.
