Hello! This is Seye Clinic, embracing all the beauty in the world, and led by a Key Doctor (KOL) and Faculty Medical Team who teach and train other medical professionals.
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.

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. |
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:
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 |
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.
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.
