How much is Onda lifting in Gangnam, and what does it do?
From ₩360,000 ($257 USD) buys an Onda 40kJ session at RE:BERRY in Gangnam, Seoul — a Coolwaves microwave treatment that uses 2.45GHz energy to selectively heat subcutaneous fat while deep-warming the dermis to tighten skin along the jawline and under-chin, with no downtime, performed by a licensed physician. Onda is microwave energy, not radiofrequency and not ultrasound, so it reaches the fat layer differently, and mild fullness with laxity is typically planned as a short series of sessions.
Effects & Progress
Effects & Progress
Microwave energy reaches subcutaneous fat as well as the dermis, so Onda can refine soft-tissue fullness and tighten skin together — the effect is not confined to the surface.
Mild warmth or light pinkness may appear in the treated zones and usually settles within hours. Makeup and daily life — including travel — are fine the same day.
Early firmness settles in as the heated dermis responds, and the next session in the plan is typically spaced three to four weeks after this one.
The main contouring phase — treated fat clears and collagen rebuilds, so the jawline and under-chin refine progressively across the planned series. Response speed varies by individual.
Maintenance period. The fullest contour is seen after the series completes; RE:BERRY will guide the repeat interval that suits your skin.

Effects & Progress
A full jawline or double chin is rarely just loose skin — it is often soft-tissue fullness sitting under a looser dermis. Onda delivers 2.45GHz Coolwaves microwave energy that reaches subcutaneous fat while also warming the dermis above it, so the treatment can refine fullness and tighten skin together in the same session, reaching further than a surface-only approach. That dual reach is what sets microwave apart from surface-only tightening.
The controlled heat works on two layers. In the subcutaneous fat, selective microwave heating prompts a gradual clearing response that refines contour over the following weeks. In the dermis above, the warmth stimulates the skin's own collagen renewal for firmness. Because both changes come from your tissue's repair process, not from anything implanted, the visible result develops progressively — so Onda is planned as a short series, never a single fix. Results vary by individual.
Every treatment area differs in how much fat and laxity it carries, so the physician selects the handpiece by depth and adjusts intensity zone by zone. Onda's integrated contact cooling protects the outer skin while the microwave heat works below, which keeps the session comfortable and means no injected anesthesia is needed for the energy itself. Your physician layers this with feedback-based intensity adjustments throughout, so delivery stays controlled across every pass.
Onda involves no incision and no recovery room, and because the surface stays intact, daily life, makeup, and even a flight home are fine the same day, with at most a few hours of mild warmth or pinkness. Since contouring builds across a planned series of two to four sessions spaced three to four weeks apart, many international guests do the first session on a Seoul trip and stage the rest across return visits or within a longer stay. The physician sets the schedule around your travel dates.

What Onda Lifting in Gangnam Delivers — and How the Result Builds
- Selective fat targeting plus skin tightening in one device: Coolwaves microwave energy heats subcutaneous fat while deep-warming the dermis, so a fuller jawline and double chin can be contoured and firmed together
- No downtime: because the microwave energy passes through intact skin with contact cooling, you return to normal life — including flights — the same day, with at most brief warmth or pinkness
- No injected anesthesia for the microwave delivery: Onda's built-in cooling keeps the session comfortable, so there are no needles for the energy itself
- Face and body capability: the same platform treats the jawline and under-chin as well as body zones where soft-tissue fullness sits, using 3mm and 7mm handpieces for different depths
- Microwave, not RF or ultrasound: at 2.45GHz Onda reaches the fat layer by a different mechanism, so the physician screens your fat-versus-laxity balance before choosing it
- Same physician from consultation through every pass to your review — your Onda plan in Gangnam is never handed to another practitioner mid-course
| Timeline | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Session complete in a compact visit; mild warmth and pinkness fade within hours — makeup, flying, and dinner reservations are all fine the same day | |
| Early firmness settles in as the heated dermis responds; the next session in the plan is typically spaced three to four weeks after this one | |
| As the treated fat responds and collagen rebuilds, contour along the jawline and under-chin refines across the planned series of two to four sessions | |
| The fullest contour and tightening are seen after the series completes; maintenance is guided by the physician based on your response |
Onda vs Sofwave vs Thermage FLX — Choosing a Tightening Path in Gangnam
| Criteria | Onda Lifting (RE:BERRY Gangnam) | Sofwave (Ultrasound) | Thermage FLX (RF) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Energy type | Microwave (Coolwaves) 2.45GHz | Ultrasound (SUPERB) | Monopolar radiofrequency (RF) |
| Primary target layer | Subcutaneous fat plus the overlying dermis, 3mm and 7mm handpieces | Mid-dermis at a fixed 1.5mm depth | Broad dermal volume at a 3mm working depth |

Why This Matters
These three devices are not interchangeable. Onda uses 2.45GHz Coolwaves microwave energy that reaches into subcutaneous fat while tightening the dermis above it; Sofwave is focused ultrasound that firms the mid-dermis; and Thermage FLX is monopolar RF that heats a broad dermal volume. Because only Onda meaningfully addresses the fat layer, RE:BERRY Gangnam patients whose concern is a full jawline or double chin are often steered to Onda, while pure surface looseness may point to RF or ultrasound instead.
Seoul pricing is a large part of why energy-device lifting in Gangnam draws medical travelers. RE:BERRY publishes Onda 40kJ from ₩360,000 ($257 USD) VAT included, while comparable microwave or device-lifting sessions commonly run materially higher in the US, Japan, and Australia — an advantage Seoul retains into 2026 on the published rate alone.
Korea treated 2,011,822 international patients in 2025 — up 72% year on year, with dermatology accounting for 62.9% of visits (MOHW). Scale alone does not guarantee continuity, though, so RE:BERRY keeps every stage with one physician: the doctor who reads your fat-versus-laxity balance selects the handpiece, delivers each pass, and reviews your result.

The Evidence Behind Onda Coolwaves Microwave Lifting
Onda uses Coolwaves, a 2.45GHz microwave technology developed by DEKA that couples to water molecules in tissue. Because microwaves at this frequency deposit energy preferentially where the target layer sits, the applicators are engineered to heat subcutaneous adipose tissue selectively while integrated contact cooling protects the epidermis. A controlled study of microwave-based adipose treatment documented a measurable reduction in subcutaneous fat thickness on ultrasound and histology consistent with adipocyte injury followed by clearance — the mechanism behind Onda's contouring effect on a full jawline or under-chin.
Fritz K, Salavastru C, Gyurova M. Reduction of abdominal fat by a 2.45 GHz microwave technology: a clinical and instrumental evaluation. J Cosmet Dermatol. 2020;19(11):2911-2916.
The same platform's dermal effect has been evaluated for tightening. A clinical study of microwave energy applied to skin laxity recorded improvement in skin firmness and contour with high subject satisfaction and only transient, self-resolving reactions, supporting Onda's dual role of fat targeting and skin tightening, not fat reduction alone. This dual mechanism is why the physician at RE:BERRY Gangnam reads your fat-versus-laxity balance before selecting Onda: soft-tissue fullness under looser skin responds to the microwave protocol, whereas pure surface laxity is redirected to a different energy class.
Fritz K, Salavastru C. A novel selective RF applicator for reducing thigh circumference: A clinical evaluation. Dermatol Ther. 2017;30(6):e12563. doi:10.1111/dth.12304
Selective heating of the target layer is the shared principle across microwave body and skin applications, and the broader literature on device-based adipose and dermal remodeling shows that controlled thermal injury drives a gradual repair response rather than an immediate change — so Onda outcomes build across a planned series of two to four sessions spaced three to four weeks apart and not from a single visit. Individual response varies with tissue composition and treatment plan, and every session at RE:BERRY Gangnam is delivered and reviewed by the same licensed physician under standardized-lighting photography.

Questions International Guests Ask About Onda Lifting in Gangnam
How much does Onda lifting cost in Gangnam, Seoul in 2026?
Onda 40kJ starts from ₩360,000 ($257 USD) at RE:BERRY Gangnam — the regular rate, VAT included, published before you book with no add-ons. Because Onda contouring is usually planned as a short series, the physician confirms your session count and total in writing at consultation. The home page price section lists the full lifting line-up.
How many Onda sessions will I need for a double chin?
A double chin is typically planned as a series of two to four Onda sessions spaced three to four weeks apart, because the treated subcutaneous fat clears gradually and firmness builds between visits. The exact count depends on how much soft-tissue fullness versus skin looseness the physician reads at RE:BERRY Gangnam. A single session gives an early change, but the fullest contour appears after the series completes.
Does Onda reduce fat or tighten skin — which one is it?
Both. Onda's 2.45GHz microwave energy selectively heats subcutaneous fat while deep-warming the dermis to tighten the overlying skin, which is why it suits a full jawline or double chin where fullness and laxity sit together. If your concern is pure surface looseness with little underlying fat, the physician at RE:BERRY Gangnam may point you to an RF or ultrasound device instead.
How is Onda different from Thermage or a HIFU treatment?
The energy class differs. Onda uses microwave (Coolwaves) energy that reaches into subcutaneous fat, while Thermage FLX uses monopolar radiofrequency and Sofwave uses ultrasound — neither of which is a fat treatment.
| Feature | Onda | Thermage FLX |
|---|---|---|
| Energy | Microwave 2.45GHz | Monopolar RF |
| Fat layer | Yes, selective | No |
| Sessions | Often 2-4 | Single |
Onda vs Sofwave — which should I choose in Gangnam?
Choose by target: Onda microwave reaches subcutaneous fat plus the dermis, while Sofwave is ultrasound that firms the mid-dermis without acting on fat.
| Feature | Onda | Sofwave |
|---|---|---|
| Energy | Microwave | Ultrasound |
| Best for | Fullness with laxity | Surface firmness, lines |
| Sessions | Often 2-4 | Single |
Does Onda hurt, and is anesthesia needed?
Most guests feel a comfortable deep warmth rather than pain, because Onda's built-in contact cooling protects the surface while the microwave energy works below — so no injected anesthesia is needed for the energy delivery itself. At RE:BERRY Gangnam the physician adjusts the intensity to your feedback throughout the session, and the treatment is compact.
Is there any downtime after Onda — can I fly home the same day?
No downtime — mild warmth and pinkness fade within hours after an Onda session, and there is no wound, so makeup, flights, and sightseeing are all fine the same day. That makes Onda easy to fit into a short Seoul itinerary, though for a full contouring result the physician at RE:BERRY Gangnam usually plans a series across several visits or return trips.
Can Onda treat body areas as well as my face?
Yes. Onda treats the jawline and under-chin on the face and also body zones where soft-tissue fullness sits, using 3mm and 7mm handpieces for different depths. At consultation the physician at RE:BERRY Gangnam maps which zones to treat and selects the handpiece by the layer being addressed, whether that is skin tightening or deeper fat targeting.
When will I see Onda results, and how long do they last?
Onda builds gradually: early firmness settles in the weeks after each session, and the treated fat clears over the following one to three months, so contour refines across the planned series of two to four sessions. Results are maintained on a schedule the physician at RE:BERRY Gangnam guides based on your response, since longevity varies with tissue composition and lifestyle.
Can Onda be combined with other lifting treatments?
Yes, where indicated. Because Onda works on the fat layer and dermis, it can be staged with a device that targets a different layer — for example a dermal or SMAS-level tightening treatment — with the sequence and spacing set by the physician at RE:BERRY Gangnam. Any combined plan is quoted as one written figure before anything is scheduled.
Am I a good candidate for Onda, or should I consider a different treatment?
Good candidates have a full jawline, double chin, or body zone where soft-tissue fullness sits under looser skin. Onda is not scheduled during pregnancy or over certain implants or metal in the treatment area, and pure surface laxity without underlying fullness responds better to an RF or ultrasound device — which the physician at RE:BERRY Gangnam screens for first at consultation.
How do I plan Onda sessions around my flights and travel dates?
Because Onda is usually a series spaced three to four weeks apart, many international guests do the first session on a Seoul trip and stage the rest across return visits, or plan the series within a longer stay. There is no downtime, so you can fly the same day. Message RE:BERRY on WhatsApp with your dates and the physician will build a schedule around them.
How do I book Onda lifting in Gangnam as a foreign visitor?
Message RE:BERRY on WhatsApp with your travel dates and photos — a coordinator replies in English as soon as possible, confirms the Onda 40kJ rate from ₩360,000 ($257 USD) and your session plan in writing, and reserves a physician slot. The clinic is reservation-only for international guests, staff interpreters cover 5 languages, and consultation plus first treatment fit into a single visit.
Where exactly is the clinic, and how do I get there from Gangnam Station?
RE:BERRY sits inside KI Tower on Gangnam-daero, a 2-minute walk from Gangnam Station Exit 10 on Seoul Metro Line 2 — 45-60 minutes from Incheon Airport by AREX plus subway or by direct taxi. Being steps from the station means your Onda appointment slots cleanly between Gangnam sightseeing, dining, and shopping.

Science Onda Coolwaves microwave lifting — peer-reviewed references
Onda's microwave technology rests on published evidence for both its fat-targeting and skin-tightening roles. A 2.45GHz microwave adipose study (Fritz 2020) documented measurable reduction in subcutaneous fat thickness on instrumental evaluation, and earlier selective-applicator work (Fritz 2017) evaluated circumference reduction from targeted energy delivery, establishing that the applicators heat the intended layer while sparing the surface. Broader reviews of device-based body contouring (Alizadeh 2016) describe the controlled-thermal-injury-and-repair mechanism that makes results build gradually over a planned series — not from a single session — the basis for the two-to-four-session Onda protocol used at RE:BERRY Gangnam.
