01
MECHANISM

Weight and body shape,
seen separately

Overall weight is approached with medication, the contour of the areas that remain with procedures.

Weight and body shape are two different problems.
Overall weight is handled with weight-management injections that act on the hormonal mechanisms behind appetite and fullness, and the areas that remain even after the weight has come down are seen separately with Onda Body · ADIEL Injection.
Seeing the two together makes the process easier.

Prescribed medicines
Wegovy · Mounjaro and others
Administration
Once-weekly subcutaneous injection · self-administered
Combined procedures
Onda Body · ADIEL Injection
Follow-up review
Body composition check every 4 weeks

※ Wegovy (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide) are prescription medicines approved by the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.
Whether to prescribe, and which product and dose, is decided by the doctor after consultation and tests. It is not a medicine prescribed to everyone.

If any of this sounds familiar

Many come to us after struggling on their own.

Controlling my appetite on my own is hard
It comes back after I lose it
It's hard to find time to exercise
A health check-up flagged my weight
The weight is down but an area remains
I don't know where to begin

THE PO:VE WAY

We don't just hand over a prescription

Even when you begin with a prescription, without the maintenance it returns to where it started.
The same doctor is with you through the start, the adjustments and what comes after.

01
We look first at whether a prescription is appropriate.

We check your history, your current medication and, if needed, blood tests before beginning. If it is not appropriate, we suggest another approach first.

02
We begin at a low dose and adjust.

Discomfort such as nausea can occur, so the dose is not raised from the start. We adjust it every 4 weeks as we see the response.

03
We look at body composition, not just weight.

Lowering a number is not the goal. We follow the changes in muscle and body fat together.

04

※ The response to treatment differs with individual constitution, lifestyle and underlying conditions, and the same outcome does not appear for everyone.
Nausea or digestive discomfort may occur during treatment. If the discomfort is significant, the dose is slowed or stopped.
All prescriptions and procedures are decided after consultation with a specialist.

05

The treatment process

01
Consultation · measurement

The doctor consults with you directly and measures weight and body composition. Your daily patterns and what you have tried before are looked at too.

02
Indication check · prescription

We check your history and current medication, and run blood tests if needed. If it is appropriate, we begin at a low dose.

03
Procedures alongside

If a remaining area concerns you, Onda Body and ADIEL Injection are carried out alongside.

04
4-week check

We check body composition and any discomfort, and adjust the dose. Maintenance after the weight has come down is looked at together.

06

Frequently asked questions

How long do I need the injections?+

It depends on your condition and your goal. We usually begin at a low dose, adjust as we see the response, and check progress every 4 weeks.
The duration is decided together at the consultation.

Does it hurt?+

It is given under the skin with a fine needle. We show you how to administer it at the start, so you can continue at home.

Are there side effects?+

Nausea, digestive discomfort and constipation can occur. That is why we begin at a low dose.
If the discomfort is significant we slow or stop the dose, and you can contact us at any time during treatment.

Do I need to exercise and watch what I eat as well?+

Medication helps with appetite control, and lifestyle has to come along for the result to hold.
Rather than a severe diet, we decide together on something you can keep to.

Do I have to have procedures as well?+

No. If overall weight comes first, we begin with the prescription alone.
When a particular area remains after the weight has come down and it concerns you, we suggest combining.

Will the weight come back if I stop?+

If old habits return, the weight can return with them.
That is why the maintenance stage after weight loss is treated as part of the care.
