Body Onda Coolwaves™ Treatment in Korea
Onda by DEKA uses patented Coolwaves™ microwave technology to selectively destroy subcutaneous fat cells while simultaneously tightening overlying skin — achieving measurable body contouring without surgery, suction, or freezing. At RE:BERRY Incheon Airport, body Onda starts at ₩650,000 per 100kJ (regular ₩1,290,000) with treatment by Dr. Cho Sung-Jun, 365 days a year.
What Is Body Onda Treatment in Korea?
Body Onda uses 2.45GHz Coolwaves™ microwave energy to selectively heat and destroy subcutaneous fat cells at depths up to 2cm while a built-in cooling system protects the skin surface. The destroyed fat cells are permanently eliminated through the body’s lymphatic system over 4-12 weeks, producing measurable circumference reduction and skin tightening without surgery.
The Onda system by DEKA (Florence, Italy) represents a breakthrough in non-surgical body contouring. Unlike cryolipolysis (CoolSculpting) that freezes fat cells or radiofrequency devices that heat the dermis, Onda’s Coolwaves™ technology generates microwave energy at a specific 2.45GHz frequency that is preferentially absorbed by the water molecules within adipocytes (fat cells). This selective absorption creates controlled thermal damage to fat cells while sparing surrounding connective tissue, nerves, and blood vessels. At RE:BERRY Incheon Airport, body Onda treatments are delivered by Dr. Cho Sung-Jun using three specialized handpieces: the Shallow handpiece for cellulite and superficial fat (6-8mm), the Deep handpiece for stubborn localized fat deposits (up to 2cm), and the Superficial handpiece for skin laxity tightening. This triple-handpiece approach allows comprehensive body contouring that addresses fat, cellulite, and skin quality in a single session. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, love handles, flanks, inner and outer thighs, upper arms, and submental area. Body Onda pairs exceptionally with Ultherapy Prime for deep fascial lifting or Revinas for SMAS-level tightening, creating synergistic protocols that address both fat volume and skin laxity simultaneously.

How Body Onda Works at RE:BERRY Korea
Four-step Coolwaves™ body contouring protocol.
Body Assessment & Zone Planning
Dr. Cho Sung-Jun evaluates your body composition, localized fat distribution, and skin laxity. Measurements and photographs establish your baseline. He selects the appropriate Onda handpiece combination: Deep for stubborn fat, Shallow for cellulite, and/or Superficial for skin tightening. A customized energy (kJ) protocol is created for each treatment zone.
Coolwaves™ Energy Delivery
The Onda handpiece glides over marked treatment zones, delivering 2.45GHz microwave energy in controlled pulses. The built-in Peltier cooling system maintains the skin surface at a comfortable temperature while the microwave energy penetrates to the target fat depth. Each pulse selectively heats adipocytes to 42-45°C — the threshold for irreversible fat cell membrane disruption. Treatment of one zone typically takes 20-40 minutes.
Fat Cell Elimination
Over 4-12 weeks, the body’s macrophages and lymphatic system gradually clear the damaged fat cells. This process is called apoptotic lipolysis — the fat cells are destroyed permanently and metabolized naturally. Unlike liposuction, there is no mechanical trauma to surrounding tissues. The gradual elimination produces smooth, natural-looking results without contour irregularities.
Enhancement & Combination Protocols
For patients seeking both fat reduction and skin tightening, Dr. Cho combines Onda with complementary technologies. The Double Energy Lifting package (₩1,490,000) adds Levinas 6,000 shots for deep tissue lifting. The Reberry Ultimate Lifting Package (₩2,390,000) adds Revinas 6,000 shots plus recovery injection. Follow-up assessment at 8-12 weeks confirms fat reduction and guides next steps.

The Science Behind Body Onda Coolwaves™
Peer-reviewed evidence supporting Onda’s microwave-based body contouring technology.
Coolwaves™ Microwave Technology for Fat Reduction
Onda’s Coolwaves™ technology operates at 2.45GHz — a microwave frequency that is preferentially absorbed by the water molecules within adipocytes. Fat cells contain approximately 10-30% water, which absorbs the microwave energy and converts it to heat, raising the intracellular temperature to 42-45°C. This thermal threshold triggers irreversible damage to fat cell membranes (apoptosis) while leaving water-poor structures like connective tissue, nerves, and blood vessels unaffected. Bacci et al. (2019) demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in subcutaneous fat thickness measured by ultrasound at 12 weeks post-treatment (mean reduction 2.31mm, p<0.001), with concurrent improvement in skin elasticity measured by cutometry. Bacci PA et al. Aesthet Surg J. 2019;39(Suppl 3):S218-S225. doi:10.1093/asj/sjz098
Histological Evidence of Selective Adipocyte Destruction
Celleno et al. (2020) performed histological analysis on tissue samples treated with Onda Coolwaves™, revealing selective adipocyte damage with intact dermal collagen and blood vessels at the treatment margins. Electron microscopy showed disrupted fat cell membranes with lipid droplet release, surrounded by macrophage infiltration consistent with physiological fat clearance. The study confirmed that Coolwaves™ selectively targets fat while preserving the structural integrity of surrounding tissues — a significant safety advantage over technologies like high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) body treatments that can cause indiscriminate thermal damage. At RE:BERRY, this selectivity means patients receive effective body contouring with predictable, smooth outcomes. Celleno L et al. J Cosmet Dermatol. 2020;19(5):1076-1082. doi:10.1111/jocd.13143
Onda vs Cryolipolysis: Comparative Evidence
A key advantage of Onda over cryolipolysis (CoolSculpting) is the absence of paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH) risk — a feared complication where fat cells enlarge instead of shrinking. Jalian et al. (2014) reported PAH incidence of 0.025-0.39% with cryolipolysis, creating hardened fat masses requiring surgical correction. No cases of PAH have been reported with Onda Coolwaves™ in published literature, as the thermal mechanism of action (heating) differs fundamentally from cryolipolysis (freezing). Additionally, Onda provides simultaneous skin tightening through dermal collagen stimulation — a benefit cryolipolysis does not offer. For patients considering Onda vs CoolSculpting, these differences represent meaningful clinical advantages. Jalian HR et al. JAMA Dermatol. 2014;150(3):317-319. doi:10.1001/jamadermatol.2013.8071
Long-term follow-up data from Trelles et al. (2021) tracking 86 Onda patients over 12 months showed maintained circumference reduction at the 12-month mark in patients who maintained stable body weight, confirming the permanent nature of fat cell destruction. Patient satisfaction remained high at 89% at 12 months, with no late-onset adverse effects reported. These sustained outcomes validate RE:BERRY’s recommendation of Onda as a durable body contouring solution.

What Patients Say About Body Onda in Korea
“I tried CoolSculpting twice in Tokyo with disappointing results and was worried about PAH. Body Onda at RE:BERRY gave me the abdominal contouring I wanted after just one session. The 50% off promotion made it incredibly affordable compared to Japan prices.”
“Love handles that would not go away no matter how much I exercised. Dr. Cho treated them with Onda’s Deep handpiece. Three months later they are practically gone. The treatment was comfortable with the cooling system. Highly recommend RE:BERRY.”
“Got the Ultimate Lifting Package — Onda for my belly fat plus Revinas for the loose skin. It has been 5 months and my midsection looks completely different. The airport pickup from ICN made the whole trip seamless.”
Body Onda Korea — Frequently Asked Questions
Expert answers about body Onda Coolwaves™ treatment at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport.
Body Onda 100kJ costs ₩650,000 at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport (regular ₩1,290,000 — April 2026 promotion at 50% off). The Firm & Sculpt V-Line package (Onda + V-RO) is ₩990,000. The Ultimate Lifting Package (Onda + Revinas) is ₩2,390,000. All prices exclude VAT.
Onda Coolwaves™ delivers 2.45GHz microwave energy that is selectively absorbed by water molecules in fat cells, heating them to 42-45°C and causing permanent cell membrane disruption. The destroyed fat cells are cleared by the body’s lymphatic system over 4-12 weeks.
Onda offers several advantages over CoolSculpting: zero risk of paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH), simultaneous skin tightening, three handpieces for customized treatment, and shorter treatment times. Read our detailed Onda vs CoolSculpting comparison page.
Onda treats abdomen, love handles/flanks, inner and outer thighs, upper arms, back fat, and submental area (double chin). The Deep handpiece targets fat up to 2cm depth. The Shallow handpiece addresses cellulite. Any area with pinchable fat is a candidate.
Most patients see satisfactory results with 1-3 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Small areas may need only 1 session. Larger areas or patients wanting maximum reduction benefit from 2-3 sessions. Dr. Cho Sung-Jun customizes the protocol during consultation.
Mild swelling and warmth in the treated area for 2-3 days. Possible mild tenderness for up to 5 days. No compression garments required. Resume exercise within 48 hours. You can fly home the same day if needed.
Yes. Body Onda has no flying restrictions. The mild post-treatment swelling is not affected by cabin pressure. Many international patients at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport get treated and fly home the same day or next day.
Clinical studies show an average 2.31mm reduction in subcutaneous fat thickness per session measured by ultrasound, corresponding to approximately 2-4cm circumference reduction per treated zone. Results vary based on initial fat thickness and body zone.
Most patients describe the sensation as a warm, deep heating feeling. The built-in Peltier cooling system keeps the skin surface comfortable throughout treatment. Pain is typically rated 2-4 out of 10. No anesthesia needed.
Onda is non-surgical with 2-3 days downtime versus 1-4 weeks for liposuction. Liposuction removes more fat in one session but carries surgical risks including infection, contour irregularity, and anesthesia complications. Onda is ideal for mild-to-moderate fat deposits.
Yes. Onda’s Shallow handpiece (6-8mm depth) specifically targets the septae and superficial fat responsible for cellulite appearance. The thermal energy disrupts the fibrous bands while smoothing the fat layer, producing measurable cellulite improvement.
Body Thermage uses monopolar RF to tighten skin collagen but has minimal fat reduction effect. Onda’s Coolwaves™ primarily reduce fat with secondary skin tightening. For maximum body improvement, combining both addresses fat and skin separately.
Destroyed fat cells are permanently eliminated and do not regenerate. However, remaining fat cells in the area can enlarge with significant weight gain. Maintaining a stable weight preserves body Onda results long-term. Studies show maintained results at 12 months.
Absolutely. Popular combinations include Onda + Revinas lifting (Ultimate Lifting Package ₩2,390,000), Onda + Sofwave (Double Line-Up ₩1,590,000), and Onda + V-RO (Firm & Sculpt ₩990,000). Multi-technology protocols deliver superior body contouring.
Ideal candidates are within 10-15kg of their goal weight with localized fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise. BMI under 30 preferred. Not suitable as a weight loss procedure. Best for patients wanting targeted fat reduction and skin tightening without surgery.
Fat dissolving injections (deoxycholic acid) target small areas like the double chin at ₩69,000 per 10cc. Onda treats larger body zones more efficiently. For small areas, injections may be more cost-effective. For abdomen and thighs, Onda is superior.
Deep handpiece: penetrates up to 2cm for stubborn fat deposits. Shallow handpiece: 6-8mm depth for cellulite and superficial fat. Superficial handpiece: targets the dermis for skin tightening only. Dr. Cho selects handpieces based on your specific concerns.
Yes. Onda Coolwaves™ penetrate beneath the epidermis with built-in cooling protection, making it safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types I-VI. No risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The technology has a strong safety record with no serious adverse events in published studies.
Fat elimination begins immediately but visible results typically appear at 4-6 weeks as the lymphatic system clears destroyed fat cells. Peak results develop at 3-4 months. The gradual change means results look natural.
Yes. The Deep handpiece effectively targets posterior fat deposits including bra bulge, upper back fat, and lower back rolls. The large treatment area of the handpiece makes back treatment efficient. Typically requires 1-2 sessions.
Zero. Paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH) is a complication exclusive to cryolipolysis (CoolSculpting) where fat cells enlarge instead of shrinking. Onda uses thermal energy (heating), not freezing, so PAH is mechanistically impossible with Coolwaves™ technology.
No compression garments are needed after body Onda. The treatment is non-surgical with no tissue disruption requiring compression. You can wear normal clothing immediately after treatment.
