Ardmore Aesthetics - Onda Coolwaves BodySculpting [Review]

With advancement in technology, there's no longer a need to undergo surgical liposuction for permanent fat reduction. Onda Coolwaves is the latest permanent fat reduction treatment in the medical aesthetic scene. Using special microwaves that selectively target fat cells and reduce localized fat deposits in a safe, effective and non-invasive way, the fat cells are broken down and detoxed out of your body in two to four weeks after treatment.

I went to Ardmore Aesthetics at Wheelock Place (the shrine of beauty treatments) on 27 August 2019, three weeks before this review, so I'm hoping the effects of breaking down and detoxing my fat cells will continue. 

The place was beautifully and recently renovated, and the color scheme of nude and burnished gold colors are classy and relaxing.

They also provide a box for you to safety stash your belongings away without fear, and excellent customer service that's warm and welcoming.

I brought the booklet home and scanned it!

I know microwave sounds scary, but the smart device includes a high-tech skin cooling system that cools the skin as it counterbalances the heat issued by the microwaves. This protects the derma, and ensures patient comfort while reducing risks, inflammation and side effects. If you compare this technology to Radiofrequency (RF) treatments that are still being offered at most places, the ONDA Coolwaves is definitely more effective at targeting fat cells.

I was advised that there may be some heating sensation and to tell them if the pain is unbearable. Honestly I only felt it getting warm after around 15 minutes into the treatment. And you can see in the video below that my skin wasn't red. The "hot-zone" was deeper inside while my skin remained cool, which reassured me that the treatment was targeting the subcutaneous fat.

Lymphatic drainage is a gentle, rhythmical massage treatment performed to stimulate the circulation of lymph fluid around the body. This helps to rapidly speed up the removal of wastes and toxins from a sluggish lymphatic system. And I didn't even know it was included in the treatment! It's meant to help  the detoxing process that's supposed to happen in the two to four weeks following treatment where the fat cells are broken down and passes through our body naturally. 

There was no downtime, and the warm feeling dissipated after 30 minutes (before I got home). 

Scanned brochure that you want to have

Coolwaves targets 3 main body concerns, namely adipose fat cells, cellulite and skin laxity.

1. Localized Fats: Coolwaves is able to deeply disrupt the membranes of subcutaneous fat cells safely and effectively.
2. Cellulite: Coolwaves effectively target the connective tissue between the adipose lobules in the more advanced stages of cellulite.
3. Skin Tightening : Coolwaves induce an immediate shrinkage of the collagen fibers in the dermis and stimulate the production of new collagen, making tissue more compact and toned.

The treatment has been tested extensively and if you refer to the three provided images above (also scanned), the number of sessions and the post-treatment detox process and results differ from person to person.

Picture taken 21 September, 26 days after the treatment.

​The Onda Coolwaves treatment is supposed to have optimal results after two to four treatments. I only tried it once, but could nonetheless feel that the treated area had become slimmer and firmer (I still have stubborn fats that have always been impossible to get rid of).

Like most girls, I've tried many slimming and firming treatments and methods, but this treatment is actually the most effective I've experienced thus far in the never-ending  road of achieving a better body. 

Coupled with a  healthy (or at least moderated) diet and exercise, your slimming attempts will yield much better results! I'm also striving to have a better balance but... =')
