ONDA PRO Pocket, Shallow & Deep kJ Guide

How DEKA ONDA PRO® Pocket (3 mm), Shallow (7 mm), and Deep (12 mm) 2.45 GHz handpieces and Kilojoule (40–100 kJ) energy dosing work at Minori Skincare NYC.

If you have researched 'Onda Lifting' in Seoul or DEKA ONDA PRO® in New York City, you may have seen clinics reference 3 mm Pocket, 7 mm Shallow, and 12 mm Deep handpieces alongside energy numbers like 40 kJ, 60 kJ, 80 kJ, or 100 kJ (40,000 to 100,000 joules). Understanding how these 3 smart handpieces and cumulative Kilojoule dosing work explains why custom mapping matters so much.

1. The 3 Smart Handpieces — Pocket (3 mm), Shallow (7 mm) & Deep (12 mm): All 3 handpieces emit 2.45 GHz Coolwaves® with continuous 5°C sapphire contact cooling, but each shifts the electromagnetic field to a specific focal depth: Pocket (3 mm effective depth) is engineered for precision facial tightening, lower-cheek refinement, and jawline definition without depleting upper-cheek volume; Shallow (7 mm effective depth) targets superficial subcutaneous fullness under the chin (double chin), upper arms, above-the-knee laxity, and fibrous cellulite appearance; Deep (12 mm effective depth) directs roughly 80% of its 2.45 GHz energy into deeper subcutaneous layers on the abdomen, waist, flanks, and thighs while 20% warms the overlying dermis.

2. How Kilojoule (kJ) Energy Dosing Works in a 30-Minute ($350) Session: Unlike ultrasound devices counted by 'lines' or RF tips counted by 'shots', ONDA PRO® tracks cumulative thermal energy in Kilojoules (kJ) — where 1 kJ equals 1,000 joules. Depending on tissue thickness and zone size, a 30-minute session ($350 per zone at Minori Skincare in NoMad, Manhattan) typically delivers 40 kJ to 100 kJ split between depths (for example, pairing 7 mm Shallow passes beneath the chin with 3 mm Pocket passes along the mandibular border), with 0 downtime.

3. U.S. FDA 510(k) Clearance: Under FDA 510(k) K260647 (cleared as SPECCHIO by DEKA M.E.L.A. s.r.l.), ONDA PRO® is FDA cleared for heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature for selected medical conditions such as temporary relief of pain, muscle spasms, and increase in local circulation — and, via the massage device, a temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite.
