Your questions, answered

Yes. Collagen production slows with age and drops sharply in the first years after menopause, but your skin cells still respond when they're stimulated. Results may build more slowly, and you may need an extra session or two, but collagen-building treatments still work at this stage.

Supporting your body helps. Good sleep, hydration, a nutrient-rich diet, managing stress, not smoking and limiting alcohol all support healthy platelets and healing. That's the foundation PRFM works with. In the days before treatment, staying hydrated and avoiding alcohol and anti-inflammatories (unless your doctor has prescribed them) helps the most.

They each work differently:

• PRFM concentrates growth factors from your own blood, which signal your skin to repair and make new collagen.
• Filler restores structure and support. Hyaluronic acid filler can also gently stretch the surrounding tissue, which may encourage some collagen production.
• SkinVive places tiny droplets of hyaluronic acid into the skin to improve hydration, smoothness and glow. That makes the skin healthier overall.

Together they work on volume, structure and skin quality.

SkinVive is hyaluronic acid for hydration, glow and smoother texture, and results last about 6 months. Rejuran uses polynucleotides, which are DNA fragments, to support repair and regeneration in the skin. It's often used for texture, thinning skin and overall skin quality.

Dissolvable threads can cause a small amount of scar tissue as they break down. That's part of how they stimulate collagen. Most surgeons find it doesn't significantly affect a future facelift, but some say it can make the surgery slightly more involved. If you're considering surgery later, let your surgeon know about any threads you've had.

This depends on your specific anatomy.

True resistance is rare. It happens when the body forms antibodies to the toxin. More often, the cause is the dose, the injection placement, the timing between treatments, or how quickly someone metabolizes it. If resistance is suspected, switching to a different brand can help. We'd love to see you so we can figure out what's going on.

No, it is fanned into the area. But the microdroplet is used all throughout the cheek.

The specials are available until Friday, November 13th at 11:59 PM PST. They must be redeemed within one year from the purchase date.

Crepey skin usually responds best to treatments that improve skin quality rather than add volume. Options include PRFM with microneedling, SkinVive for the cheeks, and collagen-stimulating treatments, often combined for the best result.

You don't need to avoid them forever, but timing matters. Heat-based and deep treatments are usually spaced a few weeks after threads so the threads can settle.

The PRFM special includes 1 PRFM treatment where the PRFM is injected into the skin.

Yes. Besides being able to control if we want to reduce fullness or not, Onda's microwave energy stimulates collagen remodeling in the deeper layers of the skin. That's where the tightening comes from. Results keep improving over the weeks after treatment.

Yes, you can build up your collagen and soft tissue back to your baseline gradually if needed.

We do full face PRFM microneedling but injecting it works best in skin that is thinning and more mobile like around the eyes and mouth. It is more effective to have a more impressive collagen builder to the outer portions of the face.

Yes! The lifting threads special includes both the mid face and the lower face in one package.

Smooth threads have no barbs, so they don't lift. They're placed in a mesh pattern to stimulate collagen, which improves firmness and texture over time. Barbed (cog) threads are the ones that reposition and lift tissue.

The event special was created for the lower face, but we have something for other areas too! Our Onda Pro body packages include a discount: you'll save 15% when you purchase a package of 3 treatments. You can view and purchase our Onda Pro packages here: Onda Pro Packages

There has been no comparative study for the two but the result duration is very similar.

The fat cells Onda destroys are gone for good, and the treatment also tightens as it works. Your face will keep aging naturally, though, so occasional maintenance helps keep the area firm.

That is difficult to quantify because filler is such a great option for those with true volume depletion and most of the industry is undertrained in that area. If a patient is truly not a filler candidate, solely PRFM can be used to help thicken the skin but fat repositioning through surgery would be the best long term option.

Onda won't cancel out Botox. The order matters, though. Energy treatments are usually done before injecting toxin at the same visit, because heat and pressure on freshly injected areas can affect where the product settles.
