01 Start here — direct answer

How does Onda Coolwaves reduce fat and smooth cellulite, and what does it cost in Busan?

Onda (DEKA) delivers microwaves at 2.45 GHz through a handpiece whose contact plate is cooled. Microwaves at that frequency pass through the skin with little absorption and are absorbed by fat below it, so the fat layer is heated to the temperature at which fat cells are damaged and shrink while the skin above stays cool; the same heat in the lower dermis contracts and remodels collagen, so the skin tightens as the fat reduces, and the fibrous bands that pull cellulite into dimples are softened. Three effects from one pass, fat, laxity and cellulite, which is why it is the device for a whole area rather than a pocket. Two handpieces cover large areas like thighs and abdomen and smaller ones like arms, knees and the double chin.

At Boom Dermatology, Onda is priced by the energy delivered, from ₩88,000 per 10,000 J, which treats a small area, to ₩880,000 for a 100,000 J session covering a full area or two; the doctor sets the energy at the consultation by the size of the area. Four to six sessions two to three weeks apart; injections for the defined pocket that remains after; nothing for weight itself, which is the weight-loss page. It is not painful, there is no bruise, and the beach is fine the same day.

What Busan patients ask before Onda Coolwaves
  • Can it help the cellulite texture on my thighs, or only volume?
  • Does it hurt, and will I look bruised at the beach?
  • How many sessions per area, honestly, and what does the course cost?
  • Onda or injections for my area?
  • Will my skin tighten as the fat goes?

All of these come up most weeks at our Seomyeon skin clinic. The page answers them in order.

02 Who it suits

Who Onda Coolwaves suits, and who should wait

Good candidates

  • Thighs, abdomen, flanks or arms with a layer of resistant fat
  • Cellulite on the thighs and buttocks
  • Mild loose skin after weight loss
  • Patients who want no downtime and no needles
  • A double chin where the skin needs tightening too

We will suggest something else

  • A defined small pocket that injections treat faster
  • Weight itself; medical weight loss first
  • Pregnancy; metal implants or a pacemaker in the field
  • Active skin infection on the area
  • Patients expecting liposuction from a course

03 The visit

What happens at an Onda session in Seomyeon?

This is how an Onda visit runs at Boom Dermatology, a skin clinic in Seomyeon, Busan, from the first message to the review.

1

Message first

A photo of the area in daylight and what bothers you. The doctor replies with injection or Onda, the likely unit count and the VAT-included price.

2

Consultation and pinch test

The pocket is measured and pinched; fat is separated from loose skin and from weight; the plan and units go on your record.

3

Numbing

Numbing cream for injections; nothing needed for Onda.

4

Treatment by the doctor

Injections fanned through the pocket; Onda passed over the area in thirty minutes.

5

Out the door

Swelling and tenderness for a few days after injections; nothing after Onda. Compression where it helps.

6

Four-week review

A photo and a re-pinch; the next session is set or the course called done.

How does Boom Dermatology dose Onda?

Three settings, written on your record.

Energy to area

Joules by the size of the area; a full thigh pair or abdomen is a 100,000 J session.

Handpiece to zone

The deep handpiece for thighs and abdomen; the shallow one for arms, knees and chin.

Two to three weeks, four to six times

Fat cells shrink and clear between sessions; the measurement at each decides.

07 Questions, answered properly

Can it help the cellulite texture on my thighs, or only volume?

Both, which is Onda's particular strength: the microwave heat softens the fibrous bands that pull cellulite into dimples and tightens the dermis over them, while shrinking the fat between. Over a course the texture smooths as the volume reduces. At Boom Dermatology thigh cellulite is the commonest Onda request and the one with the most satisfying photographs.

Does it hurt, and will I look bruised at the beach?

A deep warmth, rated mild; the cooled plate keeps the surface comfortable. No bruise, no mark, no numbness; the skin is pink for an hour. Patients book Onda the morning of a Haeundae afternoon.

How many sessions per area, and what does the course cost?

Four to six, two to three weeks apart. A full thigh pair or abdomen is a 100,000 J session at ₩880,000; an arm pair is 20,000 to 30,000 J, ₩176,000 to ₩264,000; a chin or knees 10,000 to 20,000 J. The energy is set at the consultation at our Seomyeon skin clinic so the course cost is known before the first session.

Onda or injections for my area?

Onda for an area you cannot pinch into a single pocket, or where the skin is loose; injections for a defined pocket. Most thighs and abdomens start with Onda and finish with injections into what remains; most double chins start with injections.

Will my skin tighten as the fat goes?

Yes; that is the second effect of the same heat, and the reason Onda leads on areas with laxity. The tightening is modest and real, measured in the photographs at Boom Dermatology in Busan; heavy loose skin after large weight loss is beyond it and is referred.
