Onda Lifting and Ultherapy Prime are both procedures that deliver energy into the skin without incision to induce collagen regeneration. However, since they use different energy sources and work on different layers, it is important to determine which one is right for your concerns rather than which one is better overall.
Quick Comparison

| Treatment Cycle (According to Fee Schedule) | 3~5 Sessions, 1 Month Apart | Once a Year |
| Applicable Areas | Face (7mm), Body (12mm) | Face, Neck |
| Suitable Cases | Cheek Fat, Double Chin, High Fat Content, Pain Sensitive Cases | Moderate or Severe Sagging, Deep Wrinkles, Jawline |
Onda Lifting: Working on Fat and Dermal Layers with Microwave
Onda Lifting uses 2.45GHz microwave energy. It has minimal energy loss on the skin surface and selectively delivers heat to the dermal and fat layers to induce both fat breakdown and collagen regeneration. It can be considered for cases where fat causes blurred facial lines, such as cheek fat or double chin, and many people receive it without anesthesia because pain is relatively minimal.
Shinyu clinic has both a 7mm handpiece for the face and a 12mm handpiece dedicated for the body, allowing treatment tailored to the area and fat layer thickness. There is no additional cost even when using the 12mm handpiece.
Ultherapy Prime: Lifting to the Fascia Layer with Ultrasound
Ultherapy Prime uses focused ultrasound to create thermal coagulation points at the SMAS fascia layer in the skin. The SMAS layer is the structure directly lifted in facelift surgery, and aims to improve sagging and facial contours. A distinguishing feature is the ability to apply energy while viewing skin structure in real-time ultrasound images.
Which Treatment is Right for Me?
Consider Ultherapy Prime First If:
-
Your facial fat is minimal but your skin itself feels saggy
-
Deep nasolabial folds, cheek sagging, and blurred jawline are your concerns
-
You want concentrated management on a yearly schedule
Consider Onda Lifting First If:
-
You want to address double chin, cheek fat, and submental fat tightening with elasticity
-
You are sensitive to pain, or this is your first lifting procedure
-
You prefer consistent management rather than dramatic changes at once
-
You want to manage body lines such as abdomen, arms, and thighs along with facial treatment
Consider Combining Both Treatments If:
If facial sagging and double chin fat are concerns together, both treatments may be combined. The decision to combine and the order will be determined by the director after diagnosing skin thickness, fat distribution, and elasticity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What side effects can occur after treatment?
Temporary redness, swelling, and tingling sensations may occur and typically subside within a few days. Burns or cheek depression can result from using counterfeit tips or excessive energy application, so it is important to adjust energy according to skin condition.
Q. I'm concerned about pain—is sleep anesthesia available?
Yes, it is available. If you choose sleep anesthesia, an anesthesiology specialist will be stationed in the treatment room for 1:1 monitoring. Sleep anesthesia costs ₩300,000, or ₩150,000 if the total same-day treatment cost exceeds ₩1,500,000.
Q. Are there cases where treatment should not be performed?
You must notify us in advance if you are pregnant, have metal implants in the treatment area, or have skin conditions or autoimmune diseases. After examination, the director will determine whether treatment is possible.
