Area-specific assessment
Tissue thickness, skin firmness and body proportions are assessed before selecting treatment coverage.
LOUAVE ONDA Coolwaves
ONDA body contouring, planned around your tissue and proportions.
Explore consultation-led ONDA body contouring in Seoul at LOUAVE Dermatology Clinic. Treatment planning considers localised fullness, cellulite appearance, skin firmness, tissue thickness, body proportions, medical history and previous procedures.
ONDA is a non-surgical contouring treatment, not a weight-loss programme or replacement for liposuction. Confirm body-area availability with LOUAVE before planning travel specifically for this treatment.

Microwave energy for selected body-contour concerns.
ONDA uses patented 2.45 GHz Coolwaves microwave energy. Different applicators are designed to deliver controlled energy at selected depths while contact cooling helps protect the skin surface.
Body treatment may be discussed for selected localised fullness, cellulite appearance and skin-firmness concerns. Treatment areas and availability must be confirmed after assessment by LOUAVE.
Controlled microwave delivery
Energy and applicator selection are adjusted for the depth and size of the assessed treatment area.
Cooling-supported treatment
Integrated cooling helps manage the skin-surface temperature during treatment.
ONDA Coolwaves Technology
One platform addressing three different body concerns.
ONDA may be used for selected localised adiposity, cellulite appearance and skin laxity. The treatment plan should identify which concern is primary.
Localised Fullness
The Deep handpiece may be considered for selected, measurable pockets of subcutaneous tissue across suitable body areas.
Tissue-focused planningCellulite Appearance
The Shallow handpiece may be discussed when surface irregularity and connective-tissue appearance are important treatment concerns.
Surface assessmentSkin Laxity
Selected skin-firmness concerns may be included when the assessed area is suitable for microwave-energy treatment.
Skin-quality support Body Areas for Consultation
Treatment coverage is selected around anatomy and tissue depth.
Device-supported areas may include the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, knees and upper-arm region. LOUAVE must confirm which areas are currently offered.
Abdomen
Selected abdominal fullness and skin firmness may be assessed after reviewing tissue thickness, scars, previous surgery and possible hernia history.
Flanks & Hips
Localised side-waist or hip fullness may be reviewed where tissue distribution is suitable for non-surgical contouring.
Thighs
Inner or outer-thigh treatment may be discussed for selected fullness, cellulite appearance or skin-firmness concerns.
Buttocks
Treatment may focus on selected surface texture and firmness concerns rather than changing the underlying muscular structure.
Knees
Small localised tissue pockets around suitable knee areas may be assessed with careful anatomical mapping.
Upper Arms
Selected upper-arm fullness or firmness may be discussed after evaluating tissue thickness, skin laxity and nearby anatomy.
Body Contouring Assessment
Meet the LOUAVE Doctors →
Treatment begins by separating fat, cellulite and loose skin.
Similar-looking body concerns may involve different tissue layers. LOUAVE reviews tissue depth, skin firmness, cellulite pattern, body proportions, medical history and previous procedures.
Tissue Thickness
The amount and depth of subcutaneous tissue influence whether ONDA and which handpiece may be appropriate.
Handpiece planningSkin Firmness
Mild skin laxity is distinguished from substantial excess skin that may require another approach.
Skin-quality reviewCellulite Pattern
Surface dimpling and connective-tissue irregularity are assessed separately from deeper localised fullness.
Texture assessmentBody Proportion
Treatment should improve continuity rather than create an isolated or unnatural contour change.
Proportion-led designSurgical History
Previous liposuction, abdominal surgery, scars, hernia repair or other procedures should be disclosed.
Medical historyImplants & Health
Electronic devices, metal implants, active disease and relevant medical conditions require review.
Safety screening Deep & Shallow Handpieces
Different depths require different applicator strategies.
The treating doctor selects the applicator, energy and coverage according to the concern, anatomy and tissue response.
Deep Handpiece
Designed for selected deeper localised fullness.
The Deep applicator may be considered for larger treatment areas where measurable subcutaneous tissue is the primary contour concern.
Shallow Handpiece
Designed for selected texture and firmness concerns.
The Shallow applicator may be discussed for cellulite appearance, skin tightening and selected smaller or more superficial areas.
ONDA Body Treatment Process
From tissue assessment to post-treatment guidance.
Appointment length varies according to the number and size of the selected body areas.
Consultation
The doctor reviews body concerns, tissue depth, skin quality, medical history and treatment expectations.
Area Mapping
Suitable body zones are marked according to anatomy, tissue distribution and natural proportions.
Skin Preparation
The treatment area is cleansed and dedicated oil is applied to support applicator movement.
ONDA Treatment
The selected handpiece is applied using controlled, overlapping passes according to the treatment plan.
Review & Aftercare
The treated area is reviewed and individual activity, skincare and recovery guidance is provided.
Recovery & Result Timeline
Body-contour changes may develop progressively.
Response varies according to the treatment area, tissue thickness, energy plan and individual biology.
Treatment Day
Temporary warmth, redness, tenderness, firmness or swelling may occur across the treated area.
Early Recovery
Many patients continue regular activities, although sensitivity, swelling or bruising may temporarily remain.
Following Weeks
Contour, surface-texture or firmness changes may become gradually more noticeable.
Treatment Review
Additional treatment is considered only after reviewing the response and remaining concerns.
Planning treatment during an international visit
Share flight dates, exercise plans, beach activities, photography sessions and important events with LOUAVE. Temporary tenderness, swelling or bruising may affect comfort during travel.
Treatment Suitability
Appropriate for selected localised body concerns.
Suitability cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. In-person examination and medical-history review are required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions before ONDA body contouring.
These answers provide general information. Final body areas and treatment details must be confirmed by LOUAVE.
What is ONDA body contouring?
ONDA body contouring uses controlled 2.45 GHz microwave
energy called Coolwaves. Treatment may be discussed for
selected localised fullness, cellulite appearance and
skin-firmness concerns.
Which body areas can ONDA treat?
Device-supported areas may include the abdomen, hips,
thighs, buttocks, knees and upper-arm region. The clinic
must confirm whether a specific area is currently offered
and medically suitable.
Can ONDA help with cellulite?
The Shallow handpiece may be considered for selected
cellulite and skin-texture concerns. Cellulite has
multiple structural causes, so visible improvement
cannot be guaranteed.
Is ONDA a weight-loss treatment?
No. ONDA is intended for selected localised contour
concerns. It is not a treatment for obesity, general
weight reduction or metabolic disease.
Is ONDA the same as liposuction?
No. ONDA is non-surgical and cannot remove tissue with
the same extent or predictability as surgical liposuction.
What does ONDA body treatment feel like?
Patients may experience warmth, pressure, tingling or
discomfort while integrated cooling helps manage the
skin-surface temperature. Sensitivity varies.
Does ONDA require numbing cream?
ONDA is commonly performed without numbing, but treatment
comfort and preparation depend on the area, settings and
individual sensitivity.
How long does a body treatment take?
Appointment length depends on the size and number of
areas being treated. The clinic should confirm the
expected schedule after consultation.
Is there downtime?
Many patients continue regular activities, but temporary
redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising, firmness or
altered sensation may occur.
Can international patients book before arriving?
International patients can contact LOUAVE before
travelling and share their preferred treatment area,
medical history, previous procedures, travel dates and
event schedule. Final suitability requires consultation.
