What is ONDA lifting in Korea?
ONDA (DEKA) is a device that uses microwave energy. The clinic explains that the energy passes through the epidermis and is delivered to the dermis, where it generates heat, and states that it is used for facial tightening and collagen remodelling and for fat and cellulite on the body.
