ONDA uses microwave energy; fat freezing uses controlled cooling. They should not be described as the same treatment.

This page helps compare technologies. It does not establish that Dr Sknn offers a fat-freezing device, or that either approach is suitable for you.

Non-invasive body contouring aims at localised cosmetic change. It is not a weight-loss treatment, a treatment for obesity or a substitute for surgery that removes excess skin.

Your clinician will confirm suitability, alternatives, material risks and the most appropriate treatment plan before you decide.
What to expect

Preparing for a consultation

Discuss the concern before considering an intervention.

01 · Before Describe the concern

Bring details of the change, relevant health history, current products and previous procedures.

02 · Consultation Discuss scope and realistic limits

The consultation should establish whether a cosmetic approach is appropriate or further assessment is needed. No procedure is promised.

03 · Next step Make an informed choice

If a cosmetic option is appropriate, review the exact proposal, risks, price and follow-up before deciding. No treatment is a valid choice.

Questions before choosing a cosmetic approach

Consider the specific concern, realistic limits and the actual proposal.

Compare the actual equipment

Ask for the device and handpiece proposed, the intended treatment site and the reason it suits your concern. The presence of a technology in a comparison guide does not confirm appointment availability.

Different techniques have different risks

Heating and cooling technologies have different precautions and possible complications. Discuss the manufacturer information for the actual device; do not assume “non-invasive” means risk-free or that surrounding tissue cannot be affected.

Results, recovery and costs

The degree and duration of any change vary. No fixed session length, zero downtime, permanent body shape or guaranteed outcome is offered. Review the planned course, total cost and follow-up before deciding.

Questions before booking

Frequently asked questions.

Preparation, treatment, recovery, suitability and aftercare guidance to support your consultation.

Is ONDA a fat-freezing treatment?
No. Its microwave technology is different from controlled cooling. The two names should not be used interchangeably.
Will body contouring improve my health through weight loss?
It should not be presented as providing weight-loss health benefits. Discuss a cosmetic aim and appropriate alternatives.
Consultation first

Discuss the appropriate next step
