Onda PRO by DEKA: Reshaping the Face and Body Without Surgery

If you'd rather not choose between measurable body-contouring results and a comfortable treatment, Onda PRO by DEKA is built around exactly that trade-off. It's a non-surgical platform that reshapes the face and body using microwave energy — targeting stubborn fat, smoothing cellulite and tightening skin, often in a single session.
This guide explains how Onda PRO works, what it treats, how many sessions you'll need and what a treatment actually feels like — so you can decide whether it's right for you, then compare clinics near you and book online.

What is Onda PRO?
Onda PRO is the latest evolution of DEKA's Coolwaves® platform — a device designed to deliver three outcomes in one treatment: reducing localised fat, tightening skin and smoothing cellulite. In Australia it's distributed by High Tech Medical.
What sets it apart from other energy-based contouring devices is the type of energy it uses. "Unlike other energy-based technologies such as lasers or radiofrequency, microwave energy mostly passes through the skin and is absorbed by adipose [fat] cells," explains Matt Moncrieff, Managing Director of High Tech Medical.
That selective heating is the whole idea. During treatment the skin stays at around 36°C while the fat layer beneath reaches 52–55°C. According to High Tech Medical, no other contouring device keeps the skin at such a low temperature while still effectively heating the target tissue — which is what makes the treatment both effective and comfortable.
How microwave body contouring works
At the core of Onda PRO is PrecisionGigaWave™ (PGW) technology, which lets the practitioner control how deeply the energy travels — safely and accurately. The Coolwaves® microwave energy is delivered to a specific tissue layer, heats the fat cells there, and the body then clears them naturally over the following weeks.
For cellulite, the device works through a triple-action mechanism:
- Heating the fat layer to reduce localised fullness.
- Remodelling the connective tissue that creates the dimpled, uneven surface.
- Tightening the skin on top for a smoother, more even contour.
Three handpieces, one platform
Onda PRO uses three specialised handpieces — Deep, Shallow and Pocket — each tuned to reach a different tissue depth. That's what lets a single platform address both face and body concerns.
| Handpiece | What it targets | Treatment depth |
|---|---|---|
| Deep | Localised fat and cellulite | Up to 13 mm |
| Shallow | Skin tightening, submental (under-chin) fat, cellulite | Up to 7 mm |
| Facial lifting and tightening | Up to 3 mm |
Because the Pocket handpiece works at shallow depth, Onda PRO isn't limited to the body — it can also be used for facial lifting and tightening, making it a genuine face-and-body device.
What Onda PRO can treat
Between its three handpieces, Onda PRO is used for:
- Localised, stubborn fat — areas that resist diet and exercise.
- Cellulite — historically one of the most difficult aesthetic concerns to improve.
- Skin laxity — tightening loose or crepey skin on the body.
- Submental fat — fullness under the chin.
- Facial lifting and tightening — using the shallow Pocket handpiece.
What does a treatment feel like?
Comfort is one of Onda PRO's headline features. An integrated cooling system keeps the surface of the skin (the epidermis) at safe, tolerable temperatures throughout the treatment. Most patients describe a cool sensation at the surface with warmth beneath, and the clinician can adjust the settings in real time to keep the experience consistent and comfortable.
Each zone takes roughly 10–15 minutes to treat, and the only consumable needed is paraffin oil — so appointments tend to be quick and efficient.
How many treatments will I need, and when will I see results?
The manufacturer's recommended protocol is three to four treatments, spaced approximately one month apart.
Results are typically visible within 30 days, with continued improvement over the following three months as the body clears the treated fat cells and the skin responds.
Are the results permanent?
For fat reduction, the results are described as long-lasting. "Most of the improvement is due to apoptosis — the natural death of fat cells," says Matt Moncrieff. "This is a semi-permanent effect."
In other words, the fat cells that are cleared don't come back, though a healthy lifestyle still matters for maintaining your overall result. As always, a consultation with a qualified clinic is the best way to understand what's realistic for your body and goals.
Is Onda PRO right for you?
Onda PRO suits people looking for a non-surgical way to reduce localised fat, soften cellulite and tighten skin — on the face or body — without the downtime of surgery. Its low skin temperatures and built-in cooling make it a comfortable option, and its face-and-body versatility means one platform can address several concerns.
The best next step is a consultation. A good clinic will assess the area you want to treat, confirm Onda PRO is suitable and set realistic expectations about results and the number of sessions.

Frequently asked questions
How does Onda PRO work?

When will I see results from Onda PRO?
Results are typically visible within 30 days, with continued improvement over the following three months.
Are Onda PRO results permanent?
Fat reduction is long-lasting because it works largely through apoptosis (the natural death of fat cells), which the manufacturer describes as a semi-permanent effect.
Does Onda PRO hurt?
An integrated cooling system keeps the skin surface comfortable; most people feel a cool sensation on top with warmth beneath, and settings can be adjusted in real time.
Can Onda PRO be used on the face?
Yes. Its shallow Pocket handpiece works up to 3 mm deep for facial lifting and tightening, so it treats both face and body.
