ONDA PRO for thighs and buttocks
The area the clearance names
Of every area this device is used on, the thighs and buttocks are the one its cosmetic clearance addresses by name: a temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite. Temporary, and appearance. Both words are in the clearance and we keep both of them, because the sentence without them is a different claim from the one anyone has evidence for.
Contour alongside the surface
The same warmth that acts on the dimpled surface reaches the fatty layer shaping the outer thigh and the fold beneath the buttock, and the skin drawn over both. The handpiece is moved in an even pattern, so the area is warmed throughout rather than concentrated in one place.
How the area is assessed
We look at the area standing and in good light, because dimpling changes with posture and lighting more than almost anything else on the body. Photographs are taken the same way each time — a comparison is only worth something if both images were made under the same conditions. Minori is in NoMad, Manhattan.
Asked for as care rather than removal
Very few people ask to have cellulite removed. They ask what can be done about how the thighs or the buttocks look — which is nearer to what this device does, and nearer to what its clearance says: a temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite. If you are somewhere between the two, that is a consultation conversation, and it costs you nothing to have it.
Every image below was supplied by Cartessa Aesthetics, the distributor of ONDA PRO, and each carries the treating clinician's name printed on the image itself. They show patients treated at other clinics, not at Minori. Individual results vary.
Thighs and buttocks
ONDA PRO, cleared as SPECCHIO, 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. 510(k) K260647
Aesthetic devices are cleared under FDA 510(k), which is not the same as approved. We cite the clearance so you can read the indication yourself. It describes the device, not any individual result — outcomes vary, and a consultation is what determines whether a treatment suits you.
