What Is ONDA Body Contouring?

ONDA Body Contouring uses patented Coolwaves™ microwave technology to target different depths of tissue depending on the concern being treated.

Rather than focusing on only one aspect of body shape, ONDA can be used within a personalised treatment plan to address three common concerns: localised fat deposits, cellulite and skin laxity.

Different handpieces allow energy to be directed at specific tissue depths while an integrated cooling system helps protect the surface of the skin and support patient comfort.

What Can ONDA Coolwaves™ Treat?

ONDA Treatments

Cellulite Reduction

For cellulite, the shallower ONDA handpiece targets the connective tissue surrounding clusters of fat beneath the skin. Treatment is designed to improve the uneven, dimpled or “orange peel” appearance associated with cellulite and support a smoother-looking skin texture.

This makes ONDA suitable for people seeking a non-surgical approach to visible cellulite that has not improved sufficiently through lifestyle measures alone.

Localised Fat Reduction

For a fat reduction treatment, the deeper handpiece directs Coolwaves™ energy into subcutaneous fat tissue. The treatment is designed to disrupt targeted fat cell membranes, after which the released contents are processed through the body's natural metabolic pathways.

ONDA is intended for localised pockets of fat and body contour refinement rather than as a weight-loss treatment.

Skin Tightening

Coolwaves™ can also heat targeted tissue in a controlled way to encourage collagen contraction and support new collagen production. This may help improve the appearance of mild skin laxity and create firmer, smoother-looking contours over time.

Who May Be Suitable for ONDA Treatment?

ONDA may be considered if you are close to your preferred body weight but remain concerned about areas of stubborn fat, cellulite or reduced skin firmness.

Your suitability depends on factors including the area being treated, your medical history, your expectations and the nature of the concern. Every treatment at Anvaya Aesthetics begins with a consultation so the clinician can determine whether ONDA is appropriate and explain what can realistically be achieved.

What Happens During an ONDA Treatment?

Your appointment begins with an assessment of the areas you would like to treat and a discussion of your goals. The appropriate ONDA handpiece and treatment approach can then be selected according to whether the focus is cellulite, localised fat, skin tightening or a combination of concerns.

During treatment, Coolwaves™ energy is delivered to the targeted tissue while the system’s integrated cooling helps protect the skin. Your practitioner will provide guidance on the recommended treatment plan and any relevant aftercare based on your individual assessment.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How often do you recommend treatment?
    We recommend Onda® treatments spaced at 4 weeks apart for fat reduction, and 3-4 weeks apart for cellulite treatment.
    How do Coolwaves cause skin tightening?
    Skin tightening treatments increase the growth of new collagen and strengthen the skin’s elastin fibres in the treated area. After the treatment natural collagen regeneration makes the skin soft, tighter, smoother. For skin tightening Onda® performs by: Generating heat- the heat caused by Coolwaves™ causes the immediate shrinkage of collagen fibres in the dermis, the consequence of this is the tightening of flabby skin. The final effect is an improvement of skin laxity.
    How do Coolwaves cause fat loss?
    The Coolwaves™ have a deep and targeted action on the fat cells which produces the following effects: 1. By targeting the fat cells it causes them to oscillate and heat up affecting the integrity of their outer membranes. 2. This causes a mechanism called “blebbing” which releases the contained quantity of fat. 3. As the membrane loses structural integrity. The cell membrane ruptures, and the fat cell is destroyed (lipolysis). 4. The integrated cooling system integrated into the smart handpieces ensures that lipocytes are broken down, while the skin stays cool for maximum comfort. 5. The release of fat stimulates an influx of macrophages from the blood, to collect the fat. 6. Once the macrophages have cleared the excess fat, they migrate to the lymphatic system to be drained away. In this way the fat is eliminated from the body.
    How do Coolwaves™ target cellulite?
    Extensive scientific evidence concludes that up to 98% of women and 10% of men suffer from cellulite. For Cellulite, Onda® Performs in Two Ways: 1.The septa becomes fibrotic and less elastic due to cellulite.Coolwaves™ regenerates the elastin fibres of collagen. The final result is a visible improvement of the orange peel appearance through the release of constricted fat lobules. 2. By reducing the volume of adipocytes (fat cells), with the targeted action of the smart handpieces. There is less outward pressure on the skin, leading to an improved circulation, lymphatic drainage and therefore less water retention.
    Who is suitable for treatments?
    Most people are suitable for treatment. With the Onda we can treat all skin types.We recommend a consultation to ascertain if the treatment will be sucessful for you.
    What does an Onda treatment feel like?
    Treatment is virtually painless. Due to the skin presenting less resistance to high microwave frequencies, Coolwaves™ are able to pass through the skin more readily than other technologies, focusing energy only where it is needed (for example in the subcutaneous adipose tissue in the event of localised fat deposits). This then results in less heating and discomfort on the skin.
    What is the consultation procedure
    Prior to treatment you must first undergo a consultation during which details about your medical history are obtained in order to confirm your suitability. Before proceeding with treatment you will also be asked to complete a consent form.
    What should I expect after treatment?
    The treated area may be pink for a short time after treatment, but this will subside quickly. Normal activities can be resumed immediately. For Body treatments, as a result of some of the triglycerides being metabolised by passing into the urinary system it is also quite normal to experience an increased need to go to the toilet. In fact, it is recommended for both face and body treatments that patients drink increased quantities of water for a short period of time after the treatments to encourage and enhance this particular removal process for the fat cells. Immediately after treatment, contraction of collagen fibres improves skin elasticity and the skin should appear firmer.
    What areas on the body can be treated with Onda Coolwaves?
    Treatment with Onda Coolwaves™ is particularly effective on stubborn areas of fat on the stomach, underarms, love handles, thighs, saddlebags, back and upper arms. We can also target cellulite on the thighs, buttocks, stomach and arms alongside skin laxity on the knees, stomach and more.
    How do Coolwaves work?
    When the Coolwaves™ penetrate the skin, they pass straight through the top layers without overheating them (using about 20% of the energy from the microwaves), while they concentrate their effective action on the subcutaneous fat that highly absorbs them (about 80% of the energy).
    How does ONDA work?
    Onda® is the first device of its kind to use microwaves which can simultaneously target fat, cellulite and saggy skin, or ‘skin laxity’. Unlike your microwave at home, the microwaves used in the Onda® device run at a frequency 2.45GHz allowing the easy passage of energy into the sub-dermal fat layer. The upper layers of the skin are protected from unwanted heating, staying comfortably cool, hence the name Onda Coolwaves™. The energy waves target the fat cells, producing painless but irreversible damage to the fat cell membranes. This causes the fat cells to leak out into the interstitial space, and carried away via the lymphatic system
    How many ONDA treatments will I need?
    Results can be seen in as little as 1 treatment however, the recommended number of treatments for long-lasting results is 4
    Are there any contraindications to treatment?
    Unfortunately, people with the following conditions are unlikely to be suitable for treatment:
    Pregnancy
    Heart problems
    Metal implants or pacemakers
    Severe clotting disorders
    Current or recent cancer
    Severe vascular disease
    Skin disease in the treatment area
    Uncontrolled diabetes
    Under the age of 16
    Are there any side effects?
    Generally side effects are very mild and can include itching, numbness, a little heat, tenderness, redness and swelling. Less common side effects can include mild bruising, or blisters at the treatment area site, which resolve fairly quickly. However these are not common.
    How long does the ONDA treatment take?
    Each treatment covers an area of 15x15cm and takes approximately 15-20 minutes. It is possible to have multiple areas done in each session.
    Is the ONDA treatment painful?
    No. Unlike fat freezing which is extremely uncomfortable and Radio Frequency which is also uncomfortable, the ONDA® provides a gentle warmth under the skin. The treated area remains warm for a few hours afterwards.
    Which areas can be treated with the ONDA?
    Treatment with the Onda® is particularly effective on stubborn areas of fat such as: stomach, love handles, thighs, saddlebags, back and upper arms. Thighs, buttocks and arms also respond well.
    How is the ONDA different to Radio frequency (RF)?
    Radio frequency can be more unreliable in terms of results due to the ‘resistance’ of the skin to RF. Whilst RF energy can get stuck in the epidermis and the dermis, the majority of all the ONDA® Coolwaves™ actually reach the fat layers providing more effective and long lasting results. In RF excessive heat build up in the skin risks tissue damage, and causes a lot of discomfort. The ONDA® Coolwaves™ on the other hand remains comfortable and cool as the name suggests. The results seen with radio frequency devices generally do not last long and more treatments are needed to see a noticeable difference. With Onda®, as we are specifically destroying a percentage of the fat cells, results tend to be much longer lasting and in some cases can be permanent.
    Does ONDA Treat Both Fat and Cellulite?
    Yes. ONDA uses different handpieces and treatment depths to address localised fat, cellulite and skin laxity. Your consultation determines which concern should be prioritised and whether more than one treatment mode is appropriate.
    Is ONDA a Weight-Loss Treatment?
    No. ONDA is a body contouring treatment intended to target specific areas of localised fat and improve body shape. It is not designed as a substitute for weight management, diet or exercise.
    What Does ONDA Treatment Cost?
    The ONDA fat reduction treatment cost and cellulite treatment price depend on the area being treated and the recommended treatment plan. Current prices are available on our price list, with personalised recommendations discussed during consultation.
    Is There Downtime After ONDA?
    ONDA is a non-surgical treatment and does not involve incisions. Your practitioner will explain what to expect after treatment and provide individual aftercare guidance based on the area treated and your circumstances.
