Many people today are struggling to choose between Onda Lifting vs. InMode for improving their double chin or jawline contour. The two procedures differ significantly in their energy source, method of delivery, and primary targets, necessitating a choice that is best suited to an individual's skin condition and concerns.

Today, we will provide a detailed comparison of the key differences between Onda Lifting and InMode and explain when each treatment should be prioritized.


1. Onda Lifting vs. InMode: Procedure Definition and Principle

Both treatments are non-invasive lifting devices, but they vary significantly in how they deliver energy.

Comparison Item

Onda Lifting

InMode

Core Principle

Microwave Energy (Coolwaves™)

Radiofrequency (RF) Energy

Mechanism

Generates heat via water molecule vibration

Uses a vacuum to pull the skin and deliver RF

Configuration

Targets Dermis (3mm) or Fat Layer (7mm) based on tip size

Dermal Elasticity Mode (FORMA), Fat Destruction Mode (FX)

Key Effect

Combined Tightening, Collagen Regeneration, Fat Reduction

More focused on Fat Cell Destruction

Comparison Summary

Onda offers combined benefits of tightening and fat reduction, while InMode is slightly more focused on fat cell destruction.



2. When Onda Lifting May Be More Suitable (Selection by Skin Type)


The recommended approach between Onda Lifting vs. InMode can change based on the individual's facial fat distribution, skin type, and pain sensitivity. Onda Lifting can be primarily considered in the following cases:


3. Pain and Downtime Comparison


Perceived pain and recovery speed (downtime) are also significant differences between the two procedures.

Comparison Item

Onda Lifting

InMode

Pain Level

Virtually painless (Warm sensation only)

Possible bruising or slight pain (Due to the vacuum method)

Downtime

Minimal to no swelling/bruising

Bruising may last for a few days

Duration of Effect

Approx. 6 months to 1 year

Approx. 1-3 months for 1 session / 6 months to 1.5 years for 3 sessions


4. The Importance of 'Precision Diagnosis' for Successful Lifting


In cases where patients report minimal effect after Onda Lifting or InMode, it may be due to energy settings without a precision diagnosis, or the energy not being delivered accurately to the effective target layer.


5. How to Find the Right Treatment for You


We have explored the differences between Onda Lifting and InMode today. In lifting procedures, there is no single "best" treatment; there is only the "best treatment for you." Therefore, the most crucial step is to have a thorough consultation to develop a plan that is optimally tailored to your unique skin condition and concerns.
