What is laser lifting, and is it right for me?
"Laser lifting" is often used for any non-surgical, energy-based lift. At Liftique, the main contouring option is ONDA, a 2.45 GHz microwave treatment that heats the dermis and fat layer to slim and tighten. It suits double chin, jowls and cheek fullness, typically needs 3 to 5 sessions, has almost no downtime, and starts from ₩150,000 (VAT excl.) in Sinsa, Seoul.
Slimmer contours and firmer skin, in one treatment
We want to be clear from the start: our lifting devices are not lasers. Liftique offers three energy-based lifting technologies: microwave (ONDA), focused ultrasound ( Ultherapy Prime) and monopolar radiofrequency ( Thermage FLX). For patients who want a lifted, slimmer lower face, ONDA is often where the conversation starts.
ONDA is a non-invasive lifting procedure that uses 2.45 GHz microwave energy. The energy passes through the skin surface and delivers heat selectively to the dermis and the fat layer, aiming for fat reduction and tightening at the same time. Two handpieces, one for the deeper fat layer and one for the shallower dermis, let your doctor adjust the treatment to each area.
Double chin
For fullness under the chin that softens the line between face and neck.
Jowls and marionette lines
For sagging along the lower face that drags the corners of the mouth downward.
A face that looks larger
For patients whose face appears wider because of cheek fat.
Smoother contours
For anyone who wants a smoother, slimmer facial contour without surgery.
Combined lifting plans
ONDA may be planned alongside Ultherapy Prime or Thermage FLX in our lifting combination packages.
Body contouring
ONDA is also offered for body areas, priced separately on our body contouring list.
How Liftique performs ONDA
-
Diagnosis
A board-certified dermatologist assesses your face in person, supported by 2D Mark-Vu skin analysis and 3D EVE MUSE facial analysis, and confirms whether ONDA or another energy device suits your goal.
-
Energy design by fat thickness
Deep and shallow handpieces are distributed according to the fat thickness of each area. This is designed to help prevent cheek hollowing from excessive fat reduction.
-
Comfortable treatment
A contact cooling system keeps pain and heat minimal, so ONDA can be performed without anaesthesia. Treatment takes 15 to 30 minutes depending on area and energy (KJ). Sleep sedation is available where required for ₩200,000.
-
Aftercare
LDM and LED aftercare is included after the procedure to soothe and support the skin.

Safety, risks and aftercare
ONDA is non-invasive, but reducing fat on the face needs judgement: too much can leave the cheeks looking hollow. That is why energy distribution is planned by a dermatologist according to the fat thickness of each area.
- Bruising and swelling are uncommon, and most patients return to daily life immediately.
- Heat and discomfort are kept minimal by contact cooling; anaesthesia is usually not needed.
- Area-by-area energy design is used to help prevent cheek hollowing.
- Improvement is gradual over several weeks and varies between individuals.
- If you choose sleep sedation, an 8-hour fast is required beforehand.
