Reshape Your Silhouette: Onda by Deka Microwave Technology

If you have tried various diets and workout routines in an attempt to lose body fat, you will know how difficult it can be. While the gold standard of fat reduction is liposuction, there are now various non-invasive options that consumers can try for a trimmer-looking figure.

To better understand fat loss, it is essential to understand that we are all born with a certain number of fat cells that do not change no matter how much weight we gain or lose. Exercising and dieting do not reduce fat cells, which is where surgical or non-surgical procedures come in to fill the gap.

But not everyone is ready to go under the knife, and understandably so – with surgery, the pain, downtime and costs are higher than non-invasive treatments. That being said, it is now possible to achieve the body of your dreams with a revolutionary technology that targets fat cells, cellulite and skin laxity at the same time.

Introducing Onda by Deka – utilising special microwaves to target and reduce localized fat deposits, this FDA-approved device works to reduce, remodel and regenerate your body to sculpt a better you.

The Science Behind Onda Coolwaves™

The magic behind Onda by Deka is its microwave technology. Different from the microwave that we have at home, the microwaves emitted by Onda are highly controlled and preferentially absorbed by fat molecules rather than water molecules in the case of other energy devices.

Using a treatment machine that generates Coolwaves™, the specially selected frequency (2.45 GHz) bypasses the uppermost layer of skin tissue to directly target fat cells, increasing the ability to achieve fat cell death (lipolysis).

In fact, 80% of Coolwaves energy targets the fat cells while the remaining 20% goes to the dermis for secondary superficial thermal effect, aka skin tightening!

Here is how the technology targets fats, cellulite and skin laxity:

Localised fat: Onda Coolwaves™ is used to penetrate the deep layer of the skin and target the subcutaneous fat cells to destroy and dissolve localized fat deposits, which are then naturally eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system. The fat cells that are destroyed will not regenerate.

Cellulite: Onda Coolwaves™ targets cellulite by stimulating the connective tissues between the fat cells and induces an immediate shrinkage of collagen fibres in the dermis to make tissues more compact and toned. Common treatment areas include the thighs, buttocks and arms.

Skin Laxity: Onda Coolwaves™ stimulates collagen production to further tighten and tone the tissues.

Rigorously tested and investigated for 5 years, a recent study in the Journal of Plastic and Pathology Dermatology revealed that four sessions of Onda Coolwaves™ at a 30-day interval saw an improvement of cellulite and skin laxity in 100% of patients¹.

A Powerful 3-in-1 Treatment At Your Disposal

What sets Onda Coolwaves™ apart from other non-surgical fat reduction treatments is that it can deliver three effects in the same session: reduce localised fat and the appearance of cellulite and tighten the skin. Compared to other energy devices, Onda Coolwaves™ does not harm the superficial skin and is proven to be more effective in targeting fat cells.

Common treatment areas include stubborn areas like the stomach, thighs, love handles, back and upper arms. The latest version of Onda can even target the submental area for double chin reduction; a highly-sought after treatment amongst many patients.

Another unique feature about Onda Coolwaves™ lies in its patented smart handpiece – featuring two different handpieces, “Deep” and “Shallow” that is each designed for targeting different depths and body parts. For instance, “Deep” is best for targeting localized fat while “Shallow” works best for cellulite and skin laxity, or targeting submental fat.

The handpiece also comes with a built-in cooling mechanism that maximises comfort and ensures that energy is focused only where it is needed. Mild side effects including redness, itching, numbness, tenderness and swelling which are transient and typically resolve within a few days after treatment. A single session takes anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour depending on how many areas you are targeting.

The majority of patients will see great results in just 3-4 treatments with no downtime. To maximise your results, it is important that you do not moisturise the skin prior to treatment – when the skin is dry, it allows for Onda Coolwaves™ to easily pass the target subdermal fat layer. To further assist lymphatic drainage, drink an additional litre of water per day on the day of your treatment, as well as before and after treatment.

Those who have stubborn pockets of fat that are resistant to diet or exercise, have a BMI (Body Mass Index) of less than 30 and want to address the “pinchable” subcutaneous fats stored beneath the skin are suitable candidates for Onda Coolwaves™. The best way to determine your suitability is to seek advice from an experienced dermatologist in Singapore.
