[Firmness Rising from Deep Within the Skin] Oligio Lifting

Oligio Treatment at Our Clinic

*Oligio Treatments Performed at Our Clinic

Radiofrequency (RF) lifting is a non-invasive lifting method that utilizes the resistance heat generated when radiofrequency current passes through skin tissue.

This thermal energy warms the collagen fibers in the skin to 60~70℃, inducing immediate contraction, and simultaneously activates fibroblasts to promote the generation of new collagen and elastin.

1. Immediately after the procedure, collagen in the dermis contracts, which can improve skin elasticity.

2. After thermal stimulation, once the skin regeneration process begins, the lifting effect gradually appears over several weeks.

*There are two types of radiofrequency lifting methods.

Monopolar and Bipolar.

Monopolar is suitable for improving deep skin structures,

while Bipolar is suitable for managing superficial skin elasticity.

These two methods differ in the depth of energy penetration and the range of thermal action.

For specific examples,

1. For improving a double chin or sagging jawline, the Monopolar method, which can deliver thermal energy to the fat layer and aid in contour management, may be considered.

2. For thin or sensitive skin areas, the Bipolar method, which primarily acts on the superficial layer to reduce burden, may be suitable.

3. For concerns like nasolabial folds, where stimulation from the dermal layer to the fat layer is needed, Monopolar can be utilized.

4. When targeting improvements in superficial density and texture, such as skin texture, pores, or fine wrinkles, Bipolar treatment may be considered.

5. If immediate elasticity improvement is needed, Bipolar, which rapidly shows superficial contraction effects, can be beneficial.

Thus, it is crucial to carefully assess the patient's skin condition, age, fat volume, thickness, sensitivity, and other factors to select the lifting device best suited for the individual.

*We avoid procedures focused solely on a 'certain number of shots'.

Simply using radiofrequency energy alone can lead to limited results.

Lifting procedures require comprehensive consideration of “which area, what method, how much, and what other treatments to combine with.”

The practitioner's method of using the device significantly influences the lifting results.

*Oligio focuses on enhancing the longevity and satisfaction of the procedure through precise output settings, layer-specific stimulation, directional treatment, and combined treatment designs as needed. This is not merely a superficial tightening treatment but can be utilized as equipment for strategically planning lifting results.

We believe it's important to go beyond temporarily tightening the skin and instead create a sustainable elastic structure.

This is the essence of the lifting we pursue at our clinic.

Differentiator 1: Research-Based Intensity Control – Energy Settings via Academic Data

We set appropriate treatment intensity based on research papers and clinical data.

We do not set radiofrequency energy solely based on 'not feeling hot' or 'reducing pain'.

Referring to domestic and international academic papers and actual clinical data,

we base our settings on specific energy levels required to induce collagen contraction and remodeling.

Accordingly, we apply a minimum of 0.07kJ per shot (Oligio device standard: Level 4.5 or higher),

and conduct treatments according to a protocol designed to deliver a total of 40kJ or more energy.

This goes beyond simply a low-pain procedure,

and signifies a precisely planned treatment based on verified energy standards.

We precisely set and maintain the treatment intensity within the range tolerable for the patient.

While alleviating post-treatment pain, we strive to meet expectations for lifting effects.

Through Oligio treatments conducted according to these standards,

improvements in collagen remodeling within the skin can be expected.

Differentiator 2. Delicate Design Considering Facial Balance

• It is not merely a procedure that pulls the skin. You will consult directly with the director about areas needing asymmetry correction, specific areas of concern, and parts with reduced elasticity. Through this process, a personalized design is meticulously planned.
• By thoroughly analyzing each individual's facial shape and concerns, we help achieve harmonious and natural lifting results.

Differentiator 3. Transparent Process with Verification of Administered Amount After Procedure

• After the procedure is complete, we directly show the patient the number of shots used, confirming that the promised amount has been administered.
• We put our utmost sincerity into the procedure process so that patients can trust and choose us.

Differentiator 4. Safe Procedure and Enhanced Efficacy Through Area-Specific Resistance Control

We remeasure the impedance (resistance value) of each facial area and adjust the energy accordingly.

Monopolar radiofrequency (RF) procedures utilize thermal energy generated according to the tissue's resistance value.

The face differs in skin thickness, fat layer, blood flow, etc., by area, so the resistance value (impedance) of each part also varies.

Therefore, various facial areas such as the cheeks, forehead, jawline, and double chin each require different output energies.

However, in many Oligio procedures, generally,

there is a tendency to treat the entire face uniformly with the initially set resistance value.

This method can lead to excessive heat being delivered to certain areas, or conversely, insufficient thermal energy reaching them.

This can result in an imbalance of treatment effects and sometimes lead to the risk of skin overheating.

We remeasure impedance each time the treatment area changes,

and proceed with the treatment by readjusting to an energy output suitable for that specific area.

Energy settings are customized according to the skin characteristics and resistance values of various areas such as the forehead, chin, cheeks, and neck.

Resistance detection functions with each shot, and safety is double-checked by manually resetting the energy whenever switching areas.

This allows for more refined treatment effects and can contribute to reducing the possibility of side effects.

You can receive help in maintaining skin health with Oligio treatment, addressing the causes of gradually diminishing skin elasticity.

As we age,

collagen decreases year by year,

elastin structures gradually loosen,

and the function of skin fibroblasts also declines.

These changes cause the skin to thin and easily lose elasticity.

As a result, sagging cheeks appear,

and wrinkles and laxity can also occur around the eyes and jawline.

To improve such fundamental structural changes within the skin,

superficial care alone is insufficient.

Stimulation is needed to activate the production of collagen and elastin within the skin.

For these reasons,

by delivering high-frequency thermal energy deep into the skin's dermis,

we recommend the 'Oligio Lifting' procedure, which contracts collagen and induces regeneration.

Description of the Procedure

The Oligio procedure utilizes RF (Radiofrequency) energy to stimulate collagen production in the skin's dermal layer.

Thermal energy delivered to the dermis, along with currents safe for the human body, denatures collagen, which can help improve double chin, alleviate skin sagging, and enhance skin texture.

A key feature is that after the procedure, collagen is gradually produced, and the improvement effects can last for a relatively long period.

As it is a non-invasive procedure, no separate anesthesia is required, and thanks to the cooling and vibration modes, the burden of pain can be reduced.

Features of Oligio Treatment

• Step 01. Contact gas cooling system and vibration technology that reduce pain
• The contact gas cooling system and vibration technology work together to alleviate potential pain during the procedure. This helps high-frequency energy reach deep into the skin while protecting the skin's surface.
• The impedance check function monitors the real-time current flow status within the tissues of the treatment area. This allows for the adjustment of appropriate high-frequency energy to be delivered effectively to each individual.
• The skin temperature tracking sensor continuously monitors the temperature of the skin contact surface during the procedure. This helps reduce the risk of potential side effects during the treatment process.
• The pressure sensor is designed to operate only when appropriate pressure is detected. This contributes to significantly enhancing the stability of the treatment process.

Recommended for:

• Those concerned with forehead wrinkles, glabellar lines, nasolabial folds, etc.
• Those seeking overall facial elasticity improvement
• Those considering improvements in pores or skin texture
• Those considering double chin improvement and lifting effects
• Those who feel burdened by procedures with long recovery periods
• Those who wish to try lifting methods other than surgery or injections

Procedure Steps

• Step 01. The individual washes their face.
• Step 02. Apply a dedicated gel to the treatment area.
• Step 03. Perform the Oligio lifting procedure.
• Step 04. Procedure concludes.

Post-Procedure Precautions

• If the skin is relatively thin, temporary tip marks may appear on the treated area. These marks usually subside naturally within 1-2 weeks, so it is advisable to observe the progress.
• After the procedure, mild symptoms such as slight redness, burning, throbbing, swelling, pain, toothache, or tooth sensitivity may appear in the treated area. While these reactions can vary from person to person, they generally tend to subside gradually within 1-2 weeks. If discomfort persists, it is advisable to contact the clinic for consultation.
