At Min Clinic in Cheongdam, the doctor selects the treatment area, handpieces and energy level according to your skin thickness, laxity, fat distribution and treatment goal.

What to check before your ONDA session
When comparing clinics, first confirm that the clinic uses an authentic ONDA device by DEKA.
ONDA is an energy-based device treatment rather than an injectable procedure. It does not use a single-use treatment tip or an individual product that needs to be opened before each session.
ONDA treatments are measured in kilojoules rather than by shot count. A quote should therefore specify both the treatment area and planned energy. It is also worth asking how the doctor will select or combine the 3 mm and 7 mm handpieces.
At Min Clinic, handpieces are not assigned solely according to the treatment area. The doctor selects and combines the 3 mm and 7 mm handpieces according to the treatment area, skin thickness, laxity, fat distribution and treatment goal.
When comparing quotes, check the following:
- The treatment area
- The planned energy in kilojoules
- How the 3 mm and 7 mm handpieces will be selected or combined
- Who designs and performs the treatment
- What is included in the quoted price
- Whether VAT is charged separately
Risks and downtime for sensitive, easily flushed skin
If your skin tends to flush easily, plan for redness that may last about four to five hours after treatment. Makeup may generally be applied on the same day if you have no unusual symptoms, although it is sensible to keep your routine simple and avoid unnecessary irritation.
Swelling is uncommon and, if it occurs, usually improves within two to three days.
Tell the doctor if your skin reacts easily to heat, pressure or skincare products. The doctor can take this into account when selecting the handpieces, treatment area and energy distribution.
Min Clinic does not perform medical aesthetic procedures, including ONDA, during pregnancy. Skincare treatments may be available after consultation.
Flying is generally possible on the same day if there are no unusual symptoms after treatment.
How ONDA works
ONDA uses DEKA’s 2.45 GHz Coolwaves technology. The manufacturer describes it as delivering energy to address localized fat, cellulite and skin laxity.
At Min Clinic, facial treatments are designed within a range of 40–100 kJ, while body treatments are designed within a range of 100–300 kJ. The doctor selects and combines the 3 mm and 7 mm handpieces according to the treatment area, skin thickness, degree of laxity, fat distribution and treatment goal.
A higher energy level or a particular handpiece is not automatically more suitable. The treatment plan is adjusted to the characteristics of the individual treatment area.
Treatment planning and aftercare
Anesthetic cream is generally not required for ONDA. If you have sensitive skin or a history of reacting to topical products, let the clinic know during your consultation.
A senior consultation manager conducts the initial consultation, and the patient’s skin is assessed using an EVE V MUSE analyzer. This is followed by a detailed consultation with the doctor about the treatment area and method. The doctor then designs and performs the procedure.
The doctor determines the treatment area, handpiece selection and energy distribution after assessing your skin laxity, fat distribution and goals. Aftercare and the timing of any additional session are also determined according to your condition and response.
