Onda PRO: Frequently Asked Questions
What is Onda PRO?
Onda PRO is a noninvasive treatment that uses Coolwaves® microwave technology to deliver controlled heating beneath the skin. It is designed to address concerns such as localized fullness, cellulite, and skin laxity without needles or incisions. (dekalaser.com)
Does Onda PRO use radiation?
Yes—but “radiation” simply means energy traveling as waves. Onda PRO uses microwave energy at 2.45 GHz, a form of non-ionizing energy. Unlike X-rays, these microwaves do not have enough photon energy to ionize atoms or directly damage DNA through ionization. (dekalaser.com, cancer.gov)
Can Onda PRO cause cancer?
A causal link between Onda treatments and cancer has not been established. Its non-ionizing microwave energy works by heating targeted tissue, rather than through the DNA-ionizing mechanism of X-rays. However, long-term studies specifically evaluating cancer risk after Onda treatments are limited, so a guarantee of zero risk would go beyond the available evidence. (cancer.gov, pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)
What areas can be evaluated for treatment?
Depending on your anatomy, goals, and the appropriate handpiece, your consultation may include concerns involving the abdomen, flanks, thighs, buttocks, upper arms, or area beneath the chin. Your provider will determine which areas are suitable. (dekalaser.com, dekalaser.com)
Is Onda PRO a weight-loss treatment?
No. Noninvasive body contouring is intended to improve localized shape or appearance. It does not treat obesity or replace the health benefits of weight loss, exercise, and balanced nutrition. (fda.gov)
What does treatment feel like?
You may feel warmth as the handpiece moves over the treatment area. Contact cooling helps protect the skin’s surface, although comfort varies. Tell your provider immediately if you experience excessive heat or pain. (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)
How many sessions will I need?
A series is usually recommended. Published expert recommendations commonly describe approximately four sessions spaced about four weeks apart, but your treatment plan will depend on the area, your goals, and your response. (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)
When will I see results?
Changes develop gradually over the weeks following treatment. Studies have assessed improvement over several weeks to months, so your final outcome should not be judged immediately after a session. Results vary, and improvement is not guaranteed. (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)
Is there downtime, and what are the risks?
Recovery is generally brief, but temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising, or firmness may occur. Burns and other heat-related tissue injuries are possible. Your provider will review the risks and aftercare instructions before treatment. (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, fda.gov)
Who may not be a suitable candidate?
Treatment requires a medical assessment. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, pacemakers or other implanted electronic devices, active cancer, certain significant medical conditions, and problems in the treatment area may make treatment inappropriate. Please disclose your full medical history, implants, and recent procedures. (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)
