Vanessa Lee, founder of The Things We Do, recently shared her experience with ONDA PRO in Who What Wear. Below is an excerpt from Korea's Most Popular Body-Contouring and Skin-Tightening Device Is Now in the U.S. - Here's Everything to Know, written by Vanessa Lee.
I tried the Onda Pro while I was in Korea in March 2025 during what was supposed to be an educational trip where I was studying under some plastic surgeons and dermatologists. That's when I made my Onda discovery by chance
About a week later, I noticed my arms looked slimmer. Over the next few weeks, their appearance kept improving. More definition. Less fullness. Better skin quality. I became fully obsessed. On my next Korea trip, I went back for more—this time with Kim and Khloé Kardashian, and we all loved it. .
Onda Pro, manufactured by DEKA, uses microwave energy, which sits within the broader radiofrequency spectrum but behaves very differently from traditional RF devices. At a frequency of 2.45 gigahertz, this form of energy preferentially interacts with lipid-rich tissue, allowing it to deposit energy in the subcutaneous fat layer without excessively heating the skin surface or penetrating beyond the fat layer.
The biggest reason is results with comfort. Treatments are well tolerated and require no numbing, and patients usually start to see results after the first treatment in the series of four that is recommended. Onda Pro is ideal for patients in generally good health who want to address stubborn fat pockets that don't respond to diet and exercise.
Sessions can take anywhere from 15 to 90 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas treated. We typically recommend four treatments per area, spaced four to six weeks apart.
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.
