What is Onda Pro?
Onda Pro is a non-invasive treatment that uses COOLWAVES® microwave technology to target unwanted fat while supporting skin tightening and contour refinement.
Unlike traditional radiofrequency treatments, Onda Pro penetrates the subcutaneous fat layer while incorporating surface cooling to help protect the surrounding skin. This allows controlled energy delivery to areas where fat reduction and skin tightening are desired.
The treatment can be used for facial contouring, particularly in areas such as the lower cheeks, jawline and double chin. It may also be applied to selected body areas where stubborn fat, skin laxity or cellulite are concerns.
Reduction of stubborn fat deposits in the face or body
Improved jawline definition and facial contour
Skin tightening through collagen remodelling
Improvement in the appearance of cellulite
Minimal discomfort and downtime
Achieve a firmer, more sculpted profile with Onda Pro.
Consult Dr Vanessa Phua, our aesthetic doctor, for personalised guidance on face contouring treatment.
How Does Onda Pro Work?
Onda Pro delivers controlled microwave energy that selectively targets fat cells beneath the skin. These fat cells are disrupted and may be gradually cleared through the body’s natural metabolic processes.
At the same time, the energy stimulates collagen remodelling in the dermal layer, which supports improved skin elasticity and firmness. This dual-action mechanism allows Onda Pro to address both unwanted fat and mild skin laxity.
Beyond facial contouring, the same technology may be used on selected body areas to improve contour definition while supporting skin tightening and smoother skin texture.
A More Complete Approach to Body Sculpting
For patients seeking more comprehensive contouring results, Onda Pro can be incorporated into a personalised body sculpting programme.
Different technologies address different aspects of body contouring. Onda Pro focuses on reducing stubborn fat, tightening skin and improving the appearance of cellulite.
Other treatments may complement these effects:
1
Electromagnetic muscle stimulation
(such as Emsculpt Neo) helps strengthen and tone underlying muscles while supporting fat reduction.
2
Cryolipolysis fat-freezing treatments
(such as CoolSculpt) target stubborn fat deposits in selected areas.
By thoughtfully combining these technologies, multiple aspects of body contouring can be addressed at the same time, from refining body shape to enhancing muscle definition and skin firmness.
Dr Vanessa Phua carefully tailors each treatment plan to your body composition and aesthetic goals, allowing results to develop naturally and harmoniously.
Key Benefits of Onda Pro
Onda Pro offers a non-invasive way to refine facial and body contours while supporting skin tightening and smoother-looking skin.
1
Safety
COOLWAVES® microwave technology delivers energy precisely to the deeper layers where fat deposits sit, while an integrated cooling system helps protect the skin surface. This allows treatment to be performed in a controlled and comfortable manner.
2
Effective Contour Refinement
By targeting stubborn fat while encouraging collagen remodelling, the treatment helps refine contours and improve skin firmness. Over time, this can contribute to a more sculpted appearance and smoother-looking skin.
3
Quick and Convenient Sessions
Treatment sessions are designed to be efficient and easy to fit into a busy schedule. Each area typically takes around 10 minutes to treat, with sessions commonly scheduled at two-week intervals.
4
Minimal Downtime
As a non-invasive procedure, the treatment involves little to no downtime. Most patients are able to return to their usual activities immediately after the session.

Versatile Face-lifting Handpieces for Tailored Usage
Onda Pro is designed with different treatment tips, also known as handpieces, to allow customised face contouring based on your age, skin condition and whether you have excess facial fat. This ensures treatment is precise, comfortable and suited to your individual needs rather than a one size fits all approach.
Shallow Handpiece
The Shallow handpiece targets fatty areas closer to the surface of the skin. It is commonly used for:
- Reducing small pockets of facial fat
- Treating double chin fullness
- Enhancing jawline definition
- Helping the skin reach optimal collagen remodelling temperature more efficiently
This tip is often used in patients who have visible fatty deposits that contribute to facial heaviness or sagging.
Pocket Handpiece
The Pocket handpiece focuses more on collagen stimulation and skin tightening. It delivers controlled energy to encourage:
- Collagen remodelling
- Skin firming and lifting
- Improved elasticity
This handpiece is particularly suitable for patients who have skin laxity without significant fat, such as individuals experiencing early ageing changes or facial sagging.
Refined Contouring with Onda Pro, by Dr Vanessa Phua
For those seeking a more sculpted yet natural-looking profile, Onda Pro offers a non-surgical way to refine both facial and body contours. By delivering controlled microwave energy beneath the skin, the treatment helps reduce stubborn fat while supporting collagen remodelling for firmer-looking skin and smoother texture. For some patients, results may be further enhanced through a personalised body sculpting programme that combines complementary technologies designed to strengthen muscle tone or address localised fat deposits.
Led by Dr Vanessa Phua, our clinic offers comprehensive face and body contouring management tailored to your individual needs.

FAQs about Onda Pro
Onda Pro is generally described as comfortable and well tolerated. The device incorporates a contact cooling system that helps protect the skin surface during treatment. Most patients experience a gentle warming sensation, with minimal discomfort and little to no downtime afterwards.
Onda Pro may be suitable for individuals with mild to moderate fat deposits, early skin laxity or concerns such as double chin fullness, facial contour imbalance or stubborn fat in selected body areas. It is ideal for those seeking non-surgical contour refinement.
Yes. Onda Pro may be incorporated into a broader body contouring programme depending on individual treatment goals. Because it targets fat deposits while supporting skin tightening, it may complement treatments that stimulate muscle contractions or reduce localised fat through other mechanisms, such as electromagnetic muscle stimulation or cryolipolysis.
Onda Pro may produce long-lasting improvements because the treatment disrupts fat cells in the targeted area. Once these fat cells are gradually cleared by the body, they do not easily regenerate. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle can help sustain results.
Treatment plans vary depending on the treatment area and individual goals. In general, sessions are performed twice a month with a two-week interval between treatments. Some patients notice visible improvement after the first session, while others benefit from a short series of treatments for optimal contour refinement.
Onda Pro may be used on selected areas of the face and body where contour refinement is desired. Common facial areas include the lower cheeks, jawline and double chin. For the body, it may be used on areas with stubborn fat deposits or mild skin laxity.
