Am I a Good Candidate for Onda Coolwaves?
Onda Coolwaves, performed using the latest ONDA PRO platform, is designed for non-surgical face and body contouring—not weight loss. Learn who benefits most from this treatment, who may not be suitable, and how to determine whether it's the right option for your aesthetic goals.
What Makes Someone a Good Candidate for Onda Coolwaves (ONDA PRO)?
One of the biggest misconceptions about body contouring is that it is designed to help people lose weight. In reality, Onda Coolwaves (ONDA PRO), performed using the latest ONDA PRO platform, is intended for non-surgical face and body contouring rather than weight reduction.
The ideal candidate is someone who is already close to their ideal body weight but wishes to reduce localised fat that has not responded to a healthy diet and regular exercise. In addition to fat reduction, ONDA PRO may also help improve the appearance of cellulite and support skin firmness in suitable candidates.
Rather than replacing healthy habits, Onda Coolwaves (ONDA PRO) is designed to complement them by refining your natural body contours and helping you achieve gradual, natural-looking results.
Signs You May Be a Good Candidate
You may be suitable for Onda Coolwaves (ONDA PRO) if you:
You’re Close to Your Ideal Weight
Onda works best for individuals who have already achieved or are close to their target weight but want to improve specific problem areas.
You Have Stubborn Fat
If you’ve noticed areas such as your abdomen, love handles, thighs, upper arms, back, or under the chin holding onto localised fat despite regular exercise, Onda Coolwaves (ONDA PRO) with the latest ONDA PRO technology may help target these concerns.
You Want to Avoid Surgery
Many patients prefer a treatment that doesn’t involve incisions, general anaesthesia, or weeks of recovery.
ONDA PRO provides a non-invasive alternative for suitable candidates looking to improve facial and body contours with little to no downtime.
You’re Concerned About Cellulite
In addition to reducing stubborn fat, Onda Coolwaves (ONDA PRO) also helps improve the appearance of cellulite by stimulating collagen and improving tissue quality beneath the skin.
You Have Mild Skin Laxity
Patients with mild skin looseness may also benefit from ONDA PRO’s collagen-remodelling effects, which help improve skin firmness and contour definition over time.
You are close to your target weight
Localised fat that resists diet and exercise
You prefer a non-surgical option
Who May Not Be the Right Candidate?
While Onda is suitable for many patients, it isn’t the right treatment for everyone.
You may require a different treatment approach if you:
- Are looking for significant weight loss
- Have severe obesity
- Have large amounts of excess loose skin following massive weight loss
- Expect immediate or dramatic changes
- Have medical conditions that make treatment unsuitable (your doctor will assess this during consultation)
If your primary goal is weight reduction rather than body contouring, your doctor may recommend other medical or lifestyle interventions before considering body sculpting treatments.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
Onda Coolwaves (ONDA PRO), performed using the latest ONDA PRO platform, can treat a variety of facial and body areas where localised fat, cellulite, or mild skin laxity are common concerns.
These include:
- Abdomen
- Flanks (love handles)
- Inner thighs
- Outer thighs
- Upper arms
- Back fat
- Bra fat
- Under chin
- Jawline
- Area with cellulite
During your consultation, your doctor will recommend the most suitable treatment areas based on your anatomy and aesthetic goals.
What Results Can You Realistically Expect?
Onda Coolwaves (ONDA PRO), using the latest ONDA PRO platform, is designed to create gradual, natural-looking improvements.
Rather than producing an immediate transformation, ONDA PRO works with your body’s natural processes to reduce localised fat while supporting collagen remodelling for smoother, firmer skin.
Patients often notice:
- Improved body contours
- Reduced stubborn fat
- Smoother-looking skin
- Improvement in cellulite
- Increased skin firmness
The exact results vary depending on your anatomy and fat distribution, treatment area, and lifestyle habits.
Maintaining a stable weight remains important for preserving your long-term outcome.
Gradual, natural-looking change
Improved contour and skin firmness
Little to no downtime
Why Is a Consultation So Important?
No two patients have the same body shape, fat distribution, or treatment goals.
During your consultation, your doctor will assess:
- Your body composition
- Skin quality
- Areas of concern
- Medical history
- Lifestyle
- Expected treatment outcomes
This allows a personalised treatment plan to be developed specifically for your needs rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
What Happens During Treatment?
An Onda Coolwaves (ONDA PRO) session usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
ONDA PRO delivers controlled Coolwaves® microwave energy while an integrated cooling system helps protect the skin and enhance treatment comfort. Dedicated facial and body handpieces allow the treatment to be tailored to different anatomical areas.
Most patients describe the sensation as warm rather than painful.
There is little to no downtime, meaning most people can return to their normal routine immediately after the session.
Your doctor may recommend a series of 2 to 4 treatments for optimal body contouring results.
