What it is
OndaPro, made by DEKA in Italy, delivers patented Coolwaves microwave energy at 2.45 GHz through specialised handpieces that work at different depths. The energy heats and disrupts fat cells while gently warming the dermis to stimulate new collagen. The body then clears the disrupted fat over the weeks that follow. The shallower face handpiece is used for double chin and jawline definition. The deeper handpieces are used on the body.
What it does well
Localised pockets of stubborn fat that diet and exercise have not shifted, on areas like the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms and submental region. It also offers a tightening effect alongside the contouring, which matters where the skin has softened with weight change.
What it does not do
OndaPro will not produce overall weight loss, and it is not for patients who need to lose significant body weight. It works on specific localised areas. Significant skin laxity needs a different conversation, often involving ultrasound or surgery.
Our view
Body contouring is an area where expectations need careful management. The treatment is real, the technology works, but the patient who benefits is one already at a healthy weight, with a specific stubborn area. For weight loss as the goal, the answer is a different conversation entirely, often involving medical weight management.
Practical notes
A session takes thirty to ninety minutes depending on the area. There is no downtime. Most areas benefit from a course of three to five sessions spaced about a month apart, with the result developing through the months that follow.
