Reshape Your Silhouette: Onda by Deka Microwave Technology

* Onda is among the body sculpting treatments available for aesthetic use.

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™

Onda by Deka utilises microwave technology designed to target fat tissue. Different from the microwave that we have at home, the system delivers controlled energy that is absorbed more by fat molecules compared to water molecules, which differs from some other energy-based 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.

A study published in the Journal of Plastic and Pathology Dermatology evaluated the effects of Onda Coolwaves™ after rigorous 5-year testing. The research found that 4 treatment sessions, administered at 30-day intervals, resulted in measurable improvements in cellulite and skin laxity in all participants1.

A Versatile 3-in-1 Treatment for Body Contouring

Onda Coolwaves™ is a non-surgical fat reduction treatment that combines 3 functions in one device: localised fat reduction, cellulite improvement, and skin tightening. Unlike some body contouring methods, it uses targeted energy to focus on fat cells while minimising impact on the surrounding skin.

Common Treatment Areas

Suitable for stubborn fat deposits in areas such as the abdomen, thighs, love handles, back, and upper arms. The upgraded version of Onda Coolwaves™ can also treat the submental area (double chin), a common concern for patients seeking facial contouring.

A key feature of Onda Coolwaves™ is its patented smart handpiece system, which includes two specialised applicators: “Deep” and “Shallow.” Each handpiece is designed to treat different tissue depths and body areas effectively.

The “Deep” handpiece is optimised for addressing localized fat deposits.
The “Shallow” handpiece is designed to improve cellulite, skin laxity, and submental (under-chin) fat.

This dual-handpiece system allows for customised treatments based on individual concerns. However, results may vary, and a consultation with a qualified practitioner is recommended to determine the most suitable approach.

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.

Final Thoughts

Ultimately, Onda Coolwaves™ is not a weight-loss treatment. However, paired with a healthy lifestyle, this treatment can be a gamechanger in supporting those who are looking to further define their figure.
