Onda may be considered by patients who want a non-surgical approach to localized fat concerns and skin tightening. A consultation is important because candidacy depends on the treatment area, skin condition, medical history, and individual goals.

This treatment may be suitable for patients who:

• Have stubborn localized fullness that has not responded as expected to diet and exercise
• Want to address mild to moderate skin laxity in selected body areas
• Prefer a non-surgical treatment with a consultation-led plan
• Are looking for a treatment approach that can be tailored to their skin, concerns, and goals
• Want to understand whether Onda is appropriate as a standalone option or part of a broader body-contouring plan

A doctor-guided consultation can help determine whether Onda is appropriate for you, or whether another treatment may be more suitable.

Your visit may include the following steps, depending on your needs and the area being treated:

• Consultation and screening to review your concerns, goals, and relevant medical history
• Assessment of the treatment area to understand localized fat and skin-tightening concerns
• Personalized treatment planning based on your skin and body-contouring goals
• Onda treatment using Coolwaves technology for selected areas
• Doctor guidance on aftercare and what to monitor after treatment
• Follow-up recommendations when appropriate, based on your response and individual variation

The exact approach can vary from patient to patient. Your clinician can explain what is appropriate for your case during consultation.

Onda is a medical aesthetic treatment, so it should be approached with appropriate screening and realistic expectations. While many patients seek it for localized fat reduction and skin tightening, results can vary, and not every concern is best treated with the same method.

Before treatment, your clinician may review:

• Your medical history and any relevant health considerations
• The area you want to treat and whether it is appropriate for Onda
• Your skin condition and treatment goals
• Whether another treatment may be more suitable for your needs

As with many energy-based treatments, possible side effects can vary by patient and treatment area. Your clinician can explain what to expect, what is considered normal after treatment, and when to contact the clinic with any concerns.

Aftercare and follow-up guidance are important parts of treatment planning. Patients should follow the clinic's instructions carefully and attend any recommended follow-up if needed.

• Body contouring consultation — A doctor-guided assessment to discuss localized fat concerns, skin laxity, and suitable treatment options.
• Skin tightening treatments — Options that may be considered when improving skin firmness is a primary concern.
• Non-surgical fat reduction treatments — Consultation-led approaches for selected areas of stubborn fullness.
• Personalized aesthetic treatment planning — A tailored review of your goals, treatment areas, and appropriate next steps.
