What is Oligio?

Oligio is a monopolar radiofrequency device made by Wontech, a Korean medical laser company. Like Thermage it heats the dermis at 6.78 MHz to tighten collagen, and it is sold by shot count, usually 300 or 600 shots for the face.

Patients in Apgujeong choose it when they want RF tightening for fine lines and loose skin at a lower price than Thermage, or as a mid-year top-up between Thermage sessions.

How it works

The tip delivers RF energy while a cooling system protects the skin surface. Heat in the dermis shrinks collagen fibers and starts collagen production. The newer Oligio X model adds tip options and more consistent cooling for comfort.

Oligio questions

Is Oligio the same as Thermage?

Both are monopolar RF at 6.78 MHz, but they are different devices from different companies. Oligio tips cost less, so the session price is usually lower.

Does Oligio hurt?

Most patients feel short bursts of heat. Clinics apply numbing cream and adjust energy by area.

How many Oligio shots do I need?

300 shots for the lower face or a light full face, 600 shots for a more thorough full-face treatment.

Can Oligio be used near the eyes?

Some clinics use a small eye tip for the lower lids and crow's feet. Ask whether the clinic has it before booking.

What is the difference between Oligio and Oligio X?

Oligio X is the updated model with revised tips and cooling. Clinics may price it slightly higher than the original.

Can I fly the day after Oligio?

Yes. There are no wounds, and any redness usually fades within hours.
