ONDA lifting Korea prices at THE Beautiful Clinic start at 69,000 KRW for 10 kJ on the face, from the clinic's price list dated 20 August 2026. ONDA is a microwave device that sends its heat into fat while the skin surface stays cool. By the end of this page you will know what face and body ONDA cost, what a session feels like, and how long the result holds.
ONDA lifting Korea price list: face and body
Face and body ONDA sit on two separate lines of our price list. Both are priced in kilojoules (kJ), the amount of microwave energy delivered. The figures are list prices in Korean won, confirmed at consultation.
| Option | Energy | Price (KRW) |
|---|---|---|
| ONDA lifting (face) | 10 kJ | 69,000 |
| ONDA lifting (face) | 60 kJ | 409,000 |
| ONDA lifting (face) | 100 kJ | 599,000 |
| Body ONDA | 100 kJ | 699,000 |
| Body ONDA | 300 kJ | 1,999,000 |
| Body ONDA | 500 kJ | 3,300,000 |
One line is easy to misread. 100 kJ appears on both lists: 599,000 KRW for the face and 699,000 KRW for the body. Body ONDA is listed under our Body Sculpting Centre, so compare face with face and body with body.
Why the price is quoted in kJ, not by area
A kJ figure tells you how much energy you are paying for. It does not tell you how much your jawline or abdomen needs. That is judged in person, which is why the final figure is set at consultation.
When you compare two quotes for the same device, look at the kJ on each one before the total. A lower price for less energy is not a lower price.
What ONDA microwave does under the skin
ONDA uses a patented microwave technology called Coolwaves. Fat absorbs it preferentially, so the heat reaches the target and the surface stays quiet. Collagen remodelling continues after the session ends.
- The 3 mm head tightens the epidermis and dermis.
- The 7 mm head reaches fat: double chin, deep cheek, abdomen and upper arm.
- A contact cooling sensor holds the surface temperature down, which keeps the risk to the skin low.
- The same platform that works along the jawline also treats the abdomen and flanks.
On the face, ONDA is aimed at the jowl and the submental area under the chin. On the body, ONDA works on the abdomen, flanks and upper arm.
What an ONDA session is like
- Consultation. The doctor checks which layer your laxity or fullness comes from, and whether microwave is the right depth for it.
- Choosing the head. The 3 mm head goes to the dermis for tightening. The 7 mm head goes to fat.
- Treatment. Contact cooling holds the surface temperature down as the handpiece moves over the area. Sensation is listed as low, and most patients need no anaesthesia.
- Afterwards. Downtime is listed as none, so you can go straight back to your day.
Appointments are short and no anaesthetic cream is needed, so there is no numbing wait before you start. On an ONDA lifting Korea trip, that makes it easy to fit between other plans.
How long it lasts, and how many sessions
Face ONDA typically lasts around six months. Collagen remodelling carries on after you leave the clinic, so the work does not stop when the handpiece does.
Our price list sets no fixed course for face ONDA. How many sessions make sense is agreed with you at consultation. On the body, results are maintained in courses, planned region by region.
| Question | Face ONDA | Body Sculpting Centre |
|---|---|---|
| Works on | 3 mm dermis / 7 mm fat | Subcutaneous fat and dermis |
| Sensation | Low | Warm, varies by platform |
| Downtime | None | None to mild tenderness |
| Lasts | Around 6 months | Maintained in courses |
| Priced by | 10, 60 or 100 kJ | 100, 300 or 500 kJ (Body ONDA) |
Who ONDA suits, and who should ask first
ONDA suits fullness that comes from fat: a heavy jowl, a double chin, or a soft area on the abdomen or upper arm. It also suits people who want skin tightening with no downtime and no numbing cream.
- Tell us your medical history before any energy treatment, including recent fillers, isotretinoin or medication that affects healing.
- If your sagging starts at the SMAS rather than in fat, a HIFU device reaches that layer instead. The doctor will say which applies to you.
- If you want several body areas treated, ask about the Body Sculpting Centre, where ONDA sits beside other platforms.
- If your flight date is fixed, say so when you message, so the consultation and treatment can be planned together.
Other lifting devices on our list
ONDA is one of the platforms in our lifting and tightening category. Each one works at a different depth, and the unit it is priced in changes with it.
| Treatment | How it works | Typically lasts | From (KRW) |
|---|---|---|---|
| ONDA | Coolwaves microwave, absorbed preferentially by fat | Around 6 months | 69,000 per 10 kJ |
| InMode | RF with a high-voltage pulse, in the dermis and subcutaneous fat | Around 6 months | 99,000 per 10 minutes |
| Ultherapy Prime | HIFU at 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5 mm, dermis to SMAS | 6–12 months | 400,000 per 100 shots |
| Thermage FLX | Monopolar RF tightening in the dermis | About 12 months | 1,990,000 per 600 shots |
Like ONDA, InMode works on fat and on the dermis above it, using a high-voltage pulse with radiofrequency. Every platform we use is listed on the medical devices page.
For the body, the body contouring category has more options. MiCool is used for localised reduction, ULFIT for laxity, Scizer for focal areas, Vanquish for broad zones and PunchWave for cellulite.
What changes the cost of ONDA in Korea
The line on the price list is where the number starts. Your total depends on four things.
- Face or body. Face ONDA runs from 69,000 to 599,000 KRW. Body ONDA runs from 699,000 to 3,300,000 KRW.
- How many kJ. The face is listed at 10, 60 or 100 kJ, the body at 100, 300 or 500 kJ. The figure your area needs is confirmed at consultation.
- How many areas. Jowl, chin, abdomen and upper arm are separate decisions. The body centre treats only the regions that need it, not a blanket package.
- A second device. If your laxity sits in more than one layer, ask whether another platform belongs in the plan. Each one is priced in its own unit.
Ask for a range before you fly. The energy and the number of areas vary per person, so we would rather confirm one honest figure than quote a headline that changes later.
When you are ready, tick ONDA in the booking selector and send your list on WhatsApp. If this is your first clinic visit in Seoul, read the questions patients ask before they come.

Questions patients ask
How much does ONDA lifting cost in Korea?
At THE Beautiful Clinic in Gangnam, face ONDA is 69,000 KRW for 10 kJ, 409,000 KRW for 60 kJ and 599,000 KRW for 100 kJ, per the price list dated 20 August 2026. Body ONDA starts at 699,000 KRW for 100 kJ, and the final figure is confirmed at consultation.
What is ONDA used for?
ONDA reduces fat volume in the jowl, under the chin and on the body, using Coolwaves microwave energy that fat absorbs preferentially. Its 3 mm head also tightens the epidermis and dermis.
Does ONDA hurt?
Sensation is listed as low. A contact cooling sensor holds the surface temperature down, so most patients need no anaesthesia.
Is there downtime after ONDA?
Downtime is listed as none. Appointments are short and no anaesthetic cream is needed beforehand.
How long does ONDA last, and how many sessions do I need?
The result typically lasts around six months. There is no fixed course on our price list; the number of sessions is agreed at consultation.
Can ONDA be combined with other lifting treatments?
Sagging rarely comes from one layer, so we keep radiofrequency, HIFU and microwave platforms side by side. The doctor assesses where your laxity starts and tells you whether a second device belongs in the plan.
How do I book ONDA from abroad?
Send a photo and your travel dates on WhatsApp. The clinic replies in English or Bahasa Indonesia, usually the same day. A few days' notice is usually enough, but weekends and Friday evenings fill first.
Results and recovery vary between individuals, and every treatment can have side effects. Prices are from the clinic's price list and are confirmed at consultation. This article is general information, not a diagnosis.
