Comparing body treatment technologies: Selenia Onda Dinamica and ITS
Body treatment platforms can combine several technologies, but a useful comparison begins with the service you want to provide. Define the client concern, understand the supplied functions and decide how the clinic will assess and review the programme.
Start with a specific service objective
A request about skin firmness, localised contour or the appearance of cellulite can lead to different conversations. Record the concern in the client's own words before selecting a device. This helps avoid offering a broad treatment package whose purpose is difficult to explain or review.
The FDA's overview of non-invasive body contouring separates technologies by how they act and notes that these procedures are not a treatment for obesity or a means of achieving the health benefits of weight loss. A clinic's service description should therefore be specific about the aesthetic objective and its limitations. [4]
How is the Selenia range organised?
Onda Dinamica is Selenia Italia's technology family. Within the SkinLight catalogue, Body Shaper brings together Rouge, Yellow and dermoporation functions for body services. Liftonic is centred on facial services and dermoporation. Other configurations combine face and body functions in different ways. [1] [2]
These names identify configurations, so compare what is actually included. The number of named functions can differ from the number of physical handpieces. Ask which handpieces deliver each function, which cosmetic products are compatible and what the clinic would need for the intended programme.
Where do ITS platforms fit?
ITS Ophelia M combines radiofrequency and electroporation, with different electrode and applicator options. In the catalogue, it sits within a range of face and body services. Osmolipo uses ultrasound and is a separate platform. Similar business descriptions should not obscure the difference between the underlying technologies. [3] [5]
A meaningful demonstration explains the purpose of each component and shows how the operator identifies the correct accessory. Ask about the complete configuration, the device's intended use and the preparation required for your team. Technical features should be described separately from clinical outcome claims.
How should results be discussed?
Manufacturer descriptions explain the intended applications and design of a platform. They do not establish a guaranteed reduction in centimetres, fat or treatment sessions for an individual client. Before using a numerical claim, a clinic should be able to identify the exact device, population, comparison and assessment method behind it.
Agree the method of review at the start. If photographs or body measurements are relevant, make them consistent and record factors that may affect comparison. A change in appearance immediately after a visit and a sustained change assessed later are different outcomes and should be described clearly.
- State the feature being assessed and the reason for the selected programme.
- Use comparable photographs or measurements where appropriate.
- Review the client's experience alongside the documented observations.
Plan the service around the people delivering it
Consider operator time, room use, product consumption, cleaning and maintenance when comparing platforms. A device with several functions is useful only if the team can explain and deliver the services the clinic intends to offer. Begin with a manageable scope and define what successful implementation would look like.
The SkinLight Academy body technologies enquiry lets you name the Selenia or ITS platform that interests you and describe your learning goals. The body treatment calculator example can support the business discussion, using your own costs and expected appointment volume.
Questions from clinic teams.
Are all Onda Dinamica devices supplied with the same functions?
No. Liftonic, Body Shaper and other configurations have different scopes and equipment. Confirm the handpieces and functions included in the proposed package.
Can a platform guarantee a particular body measurement change?
An individual result should not be guaranteed. Assessment, the treatment objective, the specific device and a consistent review method are needed to discuss realistic expectations.
