ONDA PRO was featured in British Vogue in a recent piece highlighting the latest trending aesthetic treatments in Korea. Below is an excerpt from I Went To Seoul To Discover The Future of Beauty - Here's What I Found, written by Ellie Davis.

With the rise of GLP-1s and growing demand, non-surgical body contouring treatments are booming globally (the market is projected to grow from USD 2.24 billion in 2026 to USD 6.61 billion by 2034). There are many to choose from in South Korea, [including] ONDA, which uses patented microwave energy to contour, reduce cellulite and reduce fat on stubborn areas like the lower abdomen, arms and thighs. 

Dr Ahn believes device-based treatments are among the most effective options for cellulite and that topical scrubs and massage are unlikely to produce significant long-term improvement, though he is quick to caution that the results vary from person to person. He sees the best outcomes with ONDA, but while some may notice a difference after one session, a course of at least three is recommended. I tried the treatment myself, which takes around 10 minutes per area and found that while not entirely painless, it was a unique warming sensation that was tolerable. The results are subtle over time, though they are improved by combining with lifting weights and a balanced diet. 

ONDA PRO is now available in the U.S. and Canada exclusively from Cartessa Aesthetics. Speak to a Cartessa representative to be among the first to offer this globally recognized treatment at your practice.
