Hello, my beautiful friend-
Welcome back to our podcast series! This is the third episode in a four-part series dedicated to non-surgical treatments that are currently available.
Today we will be discussing Onda Coolwaves in our series as we explore another exciting treatment option.
Here at The Cellulite Site, our mission is to be a unified source of information for cellulite reduction, addressing the widespread issue of cellulite with dedication.
By offering comprehensive information, a variety of treatment options, from at home to in clinic, with various price points, we ensure that all women can access the treatments they desire.
I hope you’ve been able to listen or read episodes 14 and 15. If you’re considering a non-invasive treatment, our four-part series is designed to help you understand the differences between various non-invasive cellulite treatment options. I am pleased that there are several modalities to choose from and the research continues to develop.
My goal is to provide valuable information on these treatments to help you gain knowledge without spending hours researching!
I understand that there’s a lot of information to digest in these episodes, so I’ll provide a brief recap of each treatment.
While these topics might not be the most entertaining, having a thorough understanding before seeking treatment is essential for achieving the best results!
Most of us just want to know that there’s a benefit from the procedure and don’t really care how we get to the desired result.
Hang in there with me, I promise a happy ending! As women, it’s empowering to be empowered with information on how things work!
During my quest to find solutions, I did not do enough research on either the treatment provider or the treatment itself.
One of the reasons I’ve created this podcast and blog is because I’ve experienced firsthand the consequences of not doing enough research before seeking treatment.
I’ve been left with scars from surgical procedures that serve as a constant reminder to exercise caution and not blindly trust promises made by those seeking personal gain.
Multiple disappointments have led me down the path of wanting to help others find safe, effective solutions, without a lifetime of regrets. I’m glad that since then, there has been a surge in non-invasive treatments.
My mission is to share comprehensive information on these topics, aiming to help others avoid disappointment in their pursuit of improvement.
Because of my previous experiences with treatments, I created The Cellulite Circuit, which is a 7 step daily routine aimed at reducing cellulite by flushing out toxins, stimulating blood flow, break up the fibrous bands beneath the skin, and enhancing lymphatic drainage.
If you would like to learn more, go to our website at and click on the Cellulite Circuit. I’ve seen vast improvements in my skin since performing the routine for 6 months.
Even with the advancements in technology, it is crucial to seek knowledge and make informed decisions about your health and well-being.
Listen to the remainder of this podcast so you gain an understanding of Onda Coolwaves that offer promising results without the risks associated with surgery.
Your journey to better understanding and achieving your aesthetic goals starts with being informed and empowered.
If you’re listening to me on your headset, put your sneakers on, grab your tumbler filled with The Cellulite Cleanse and let’s GO!
- If you’re not familiar with the Cellulite Cleanse, you can find the recipe here.
The Cellulite Cleanse reduces the appearance of cellulite by:
- promoting detoxification
- Improving hydration
- Enhancing collagen production with Living Silica
- Balancing pH levels with apple cider vinegar,
- Replenishing essential minerals with electrolytes.
In Episode 14, we covered Acoustic Wave Therapy. AWT targets cellulite by using pressure waves to break up fat deposits and stimulate collagen production, which helps improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of cellulite.
Pressure waves, in the context of Acoustic Wave Therapy (AWT), refer to mechanical waves characterized by rapid changes in pressure over a short period. These waves are generated and applied externally to target tissues, promoting biological effects such as tissue regeneration, increased blood circulation, and breakdown of fat cells in the treatment of conditions like cellulite.
In Episode 15, we discussed Venus Legacy which targets cellulite by combining multi-polar radiofrequency and pulsed electromagnetic fields to heat tissue, stimulate collagen production, and improve blood circulation.
This process helps reduce the appearance of cellulite while tightening the skin for a smoother, firmer texture. If you would like to learn more about Acoustic Wave Therapy or Venus Legacy, you can visit thecellultiesite.com to read the blogs or listen to the podcasts.
Now, to the star of this podcast! Let’s shine the spotlight on this weeks promising treatment and topic – Onda Coolwaves.
It’s said to be a revolutionary treatment in medical aesthetics for fat and body contouring. It’s also renowned for its non-invasive nature and effectiveness in targeting localized fat deposits.
Advancements in technology have brought us more effective ways to sculpt our bodies with Onda Coolwaves ways leading the charge as a prime example of this wizardry!
Non-surgical fat reduction treatments are becoming increasingly popular due to their minimal downtime, making them ideal for those with fast-paced lifestyles.
They also carry fewer risks than surgery and provide more natural-looking, contoured results.
This seems like a promising treatment because we all want to show off our physique with confidence! Onda Coolwaves targets those stubborn areas that just refuse to budge despite best effort at the gym.
Onda Coolwaves is a non-invasive procedure, meaning it does not require surgery.
There are no incisions made, which reduces the risk of complications such as infection and scarring. Unlike surgical procedures like liposuction, Onda Coolwaves does not require anesthesia.
Patients do not need to undergo anesthesia-related risks or side effects, such as nausea or prolonged recovery from sedation.
One of the significant advantages of Onda Coolwaves is the shorter recovery period compared to surgical alternatives.
Since there are no incisions or anesthesia, patients can typically resume their normal activities shortly after the treatment.
Let’s get under the hood and dive into the mechanics of Coolwaves™. This may scare you…but Coolwaves are actually specialized microwaves that penetrate the skin to target fat cells specifically.
Unlike other methods such as radiofrequency or cryolipolysis (commonly known as “fat freezing”), where fat cells are frozen and eliminated from the body.
They affect broader areas, whereas Coolwaves™ are focused and precise.
During the treatment, patients typically experience minimal discomfort.
The specialized handpieces and cooling system help to maintain a comfortable temperature on the skin, enhancing patient comfort throughout the session.
Microwaves operating at 2.4 GHz penetrate the subdermal layer, inducing metabolic stress in fat cells that results in cellular damage and disrupts cell membranes.
This process initiates the breakdown of fat cells, which are subsequently cleared through the lymphatic system.
To maintain patient comfort and mitigate potential side effects and inflammation, a built-in cooling contact system (5°C) concurrently offsets the heat generated by the microwaves.

This cooling system also protects the surrounding skin, ensuring a comfortable experience throughout the treatment. The lasting results of Onda Coolwaves is is underscored by its ability to stimulate collagenesis, promoting the production of new collagen. This increase in collagen helps prevent the return of the unwanted cellulite.
The number of sessions required to see results with Onda Coolwaves can vary depending on individual factors such as the treatment area, the specific concern being addressed (e.g., fat reduction, cellulite improvement, skin tightening), and the patient’s unique response to the treatment. Typically, patients may undergo a series of sessions to achieve optimal results.
In general, healthcare providers who offer Onda Coolwaves treatment may recommend a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart to allow for optimal fat reduction and skin tightening. The exact number of sessions needed can be determined during an initial consultation, where the provider assesses the patient’s goals and develops a personalized treatment plan based on their specific needs and expectations.
A study published in the National Library of Medicine on July 11, 2023 with the aim of this study to assess the localized adiposity reduction in Latin American patients using a microwave system. I’ll put a link to the article in the description below. A total of 35 patients with a mean age of 47.5 years received body remodeling treatment, using the microwave system.
The results were promising – In all patients examined, statistically significant differences were found in pre- and post-treatment skin-fold test for each body area.
According to the study’s findings, this microwave system is an innovative and effective technique for body remodeling and cellulite and localized fat reduction. In a study involving 20 women with a BMI under 30, researchers found that four sessions of microwave treatment spaced 30 days apart led to significant improvements in cellulite severity.
Initially, 95% of participants had moderate to severe cellulite, but after treatment, 80% saw their condition improve to mild levels (p < 0.05).
Notably, 65% reported no loose skin. While the study didn’t use a visual satisfaction scale, patient feedback was positive, with many scheduling additional sessions after their initial three due to noticeable results. During an Onda Coolwaves session, a handpiece emitting energy is gently moved in circular motions over each targeted area for about ten minutes.
This energy heats the skin’s deeper layers, breaking down fat cells (which are then naturally metabolized), promoting the growth of new collagen, and remodeling fibrous septae or tissues. You’ll feel a warming sensation during the treatment. Ideal candidates for Onda Coolwaves are those frustrated by stubborn fat and cellulite despite diet and exercise efforts.
It’s remarkably safe, suitable for nearly all skin types, and can also benefit those with mild skin laxity. However, it’s important to remember that Onda Coolwaves isn’t a weight loss solution and works best for patients maintaining a healthy weight.
Average costs per treatment areas range from $299-$550.00. I will add a link in the description below to an explainer video from Onda that portrays the coolwaves in action with the effects on the fat cells.
In summary, Onda Coolwaves offers a promising solution for individuals seeking non-invasive fat reduction and body contouring.
This treatment is safe for various skin types and involves minimal discomfort and downtime, which is so important when you have a very busy lifestyle.
Its ability to stimulate collagen production ensures long-lasting results, promoting a smoother, more toned appearance.
For optimal outcomes, it’s crucial to consult with a qualified healthcare provider who can customize treatment plans to individual needs and goals.
This personalized approach not only enhances safety and efficacy but also ensures that patients achieve the best possible results from Onda Coolwaves.
Choosing Onda Coolwaves means choosing a modern, effective, and safe option for enhancing body contours without the risks associated with surgery.
If you’re considering enhancing your body shape and skin texture, schedule a consultation with a trusted provider to explore how Onda Coolwaves can help you achieve your aesthetic goals. Your journey to a more confident you starts with informed decisions and personalized care.
