Treatment Overview
Onda Coolwaves Cellulite Therapy in Korea is a non-invasive, high-tech treatment designed to target cellulite, reduce localized fat, and improve skin texture on areas such as the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen. The therapy uses microwave-based energy (Coolwaves) to selectively heat fat cells, break them down, and stimulate collagen production, resulting in smoother, firmer skin and improved body contours.
Korean clinics often combine Onda Coolwaves with complementary treatments such as RF (Radiofrequency), shockwave therapy, Body HIFU, lipolytic injections, or EMSculpt to further enhance cellulite reduction and body shaping.
Treatment plans are personalized according to cellulite severity, fat distribution, and skin elasticity to ensure gradual, natural-looking results.
Korea is internationally recognized for Onda Coolwaves programs that integrate:
- Microwave energy to target fat cells and cellulite
- Optional combination with RF, HIFU, shockwave, or injection-based therapies
- AI- or ultrasound-guided mapping for precise targeting
- Multi-session protocols for safe and effective results
- Outpatient procedures with minimal downtime
This ensures safe, effective, and precise non-surgical cellulite reduction.
