Oligio Treatment Guide

*Understanding Oligio

Radiofrequency (RF) lifting is a non-surgical method that utilizes resistance heat generated when a high-frequency current passes through the skin.

This thermal energy heats the collagen fibers within the skin to a certain temperature, causing immediate contraction. Additionally, it can activate fibroblasts to promote the creation of new collagen and elastin.

1. As collagen in the dermis contracts, improved skin elasticity may be felt immediately after the treatment.

2. Due to the skin regeneration response triggered by thermal stimulation, the lifting effect gradually intensifies over several weeks.

*Radiofrequency lifting is broadly divided into two methods.

Namely, monopolar and bipolar methods.

The monopolar method is useful for improving the structure of deeper skin layers,

while the bipolar method is more suitable for managing elasticity in the superficial skin layers.

The two methods have technical differences in the depth to which energy reaches and the range over which heat acts.

For example,

1. For improving a double chin or sagging jawline, monopolar treatment, which can deliver thermal stimulation to the fat layer, may be helpful.

2. For individuals with thin or sensitive skin, bipolar treatment, which primarily acts on the superficial layers and may be more suitable, can be considered.

3. For concerns like nasolabial folds (smile lines), where broad stimulation from the dermis to the fat layer is needed, monopolar treatment may be appropriate.

4. For restoring and improving the density of superficial layers, such as skin texture, pores, and fine wrinkles, bipolar treatment may be helpful.

5. If a quicker superficial tightening effect and immediate improvement in elasticity are desired, bipolar treatment can be considered.

Therefore, it is crucial to select a lifting device by comprehensively considering various factors such as the patient's skin condition, age, fat volume, skin thickness, and sensitivity.

*We discourage a treatment approach that solely emphasizes 'more than a certain number of shots'.

Simply using radiofrequency energy alone may make it difficult to achieve desired results.

The success of a lifting treatment depends on 'which area is treated, by what method, with what intensity, and how it is combined with other procedures'.

Therefore, how the practitioner understands and utilizes the device can be said to be a key factor in lifting treatments.

*Oligio treatment can achieve satisfactory results through precise output settings, customized stimulation for each skin layer, consideration of treatment direction, and the design of combined treatments as needed. It can be utilized not just as a treatment that 'lightly tightens' the skin, but as 'equipment that strategically designs lifting'.

Creating an elastic structure that can be maintained for a long time, rather than merely temporarily pulling the skin,

is the true goal of a lifting treatment.

Key Difference 1. Effective Intensity Control – Treatment through Research-Based Energy Settings

Based on numerous papers and research data, the appropriate intensity required for the treatment is set.

Radiofrequency intensity is not simply set based on 'non-hot range' or 'pain minimization'.

Based on criteria presented in domestic and international papers and extensive clinical data,

we use the 'critical energy level' essential for inducing collagen contraction and remodeling as important evidence.

According to Oligio standards, a minimum of 0.07kJ or more energy per shot (level 4.5 or higher) is applied,

and the entire treatment follows a protocol designed to deliver a total energy of 40kJ or more.

This is not simply focused on reducing pain,

but rather to provide a precisely planned treatment based on proven energy standards.

We effectively and precisely adjust treatment intensity within the range tolerable to each individual patient.

We strive to reduce post-treatment pain burden while faithfully maintaining the expected treatment effects.

Oligio treatment, performed according to these standards,

can fully expect collagen remodeling effects.

Delicate Management of Safety and Treatment Efficacy through Area-Specific Resistance Control

Customized energy adjustment through re-measurement of impedance (resistance value) for each area

Monopolar radiofrequency treatment utilizes thermal energy generated according to the resistance value of human tissue.

Each area of the face exhibits different resistance values (impedance) due to various factors such as skin thickness, amount of fat layer, and blood flow.

Therefore, the energy output required for each facial area, such as the cheeks, forehead, jawline, and double chin, also needs to be adjusted differently.

However, in many Oligio treatments,

it is common to apply the same energy to all areas based on a resistance value set once at the beginning.

This approach carries the risk of thermal energy being delivered excessively to certain areas, or conversely, insufficiently.

This can lead to variations in treatment results or even unexpected overheating.

At our medical institution, we re-measure impedance every time the treatment area is changed,

and proceed with the treatment by re-calibrating to an energy output suitable for the characteristics of each area.

Energy settings considering the skin characteristics and resistance of each area, such as the forehead, jaw, cheeks, and neck

Safety is further enhanced through shot-by-shot resistance sensing and manual readjustment when switching areas.

We strive for more delicate treatment effects and work to minimize the possibility of side effects.

Causes of reduced skin elasticity and the role of Oligio lifting

As time passes, the skin

Collagen production gradually decreases,

Elastin structures gradually loosen,

And fibroblast function also declines.

Due to these changes, the skin can become thinner and easily lose elasticity.

As a result, the cheek skin weakens,

And wrinkles or sagging may appear around the eyes and jawline.

To improve these fundamental changes in skin structure,

Beyond mere superficial care,

We believe stimulation that promotes the active production of collagen and elastin is necessary.

Therefore, our medical institution

delivers high-frequency thermal energy deep into the dermal layer of the skin,

and recommends 'Oligio Lifting' treatment to induce collagen contraction and regeneration.

Procedure Description

Oligio is a procedure that uses RF high-frequency energy to stimulate collagen production in the dermis layer of the skin.

A human-safe current delivers thermal energy to the dermis, and this heat induces collagen denaturation, which can help improve double chin, enhance skin elasticity, and refine skin texture.

After the procedure, collagen continuously regenerates, and effects appear gradually over time, which can be maintained for a certain period.

This procedure is non-invasive and does not require separate anesthesia. Cooling and vibration modes are applied to help reduce discomfort or pain during the procedure.

Procedure Advantages

• 01. Pain Relief: Utilizes a contact gas cooling system and vibration technology.
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• 02. The contact gas cooling system and vibration technology reduce pain while protecting the skin surface. This allows RF energy to be effectively delivered deep into the skin.
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• 03. Impedance Checking: Checks the current flow status within tissues during the procedure to stably deliver energy optimized for each individual.

Post-Procedure Precautions

• 
  
• 
  
• ㆍFor individuals with thin skin, temporary tip marks may appear on the treated area. These marks usually fade naturally within 1 to 2 weeks, so there's no need for major concern.
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• ㆍAfter the procedure, mild symptoms such as slight redness, warmth, throbbing, swelling, pain, toothache, or tooth sensitivity may appear in the treated area. These symptoms vary by individual but typically tend to gradually subside within 1 to 2 weeks.
