Skin elasticity up, fine wrinkles down.
Hello.
This is Director Kim Ha-won.
When skin elasticity begins to decrease,
everyone tends to look for various procedures at least once.
Among them, Oligio Lifting is
a procedure that many people choose because it has relatively low burden and a short recovery period.
However, many people know Oligio only as a ‘lifting procedure’
and this sometimes leads to decreased satisfaction.
In fact, Oligio is not simply a lifting that pulls up,
but a tightening procedure that tightens deep within the skin.
Today, let’s learn about its principles and effects,
as well as points that are easy to misunderstand + the combined effect with skin Botox.
🌟 Principles of Oligio Lifting
Oligio is a device that delivers radiofrequency (RF) energy
to the dermis of the skin.
When heat reactions occur in the deep layers,
collagen fibers contract instantaneously.
In this process, immediate tightening effects occur,
and as new collagen is generated during recovery,
skin elasticity gradually improves.
That is,
the tight feeling felt immediately after the procedure (immediate tightening)
and the improvement of skin texture and density that appears a few weeks later (sustained regeneration)
are both effects that occur together.
After 2 to 4 weeks post-treatment,
you will notice changes in smooth skin texture
as fine lines and pores are refined.
⚡ Common Misunderstandings
Lifting X, Tightening O
Many people think of Oligio as a
‘lifting device,’
but to be precise it's closer to a tightening device.
Unlike Ultherapy or Shink,
which use ultrasound methods to ‘pull up’ the skin,
it uses radiofrequency to ‘tighten’ the skin as a whole.
Therefore,
if you have a sagging jawline or chubby facial shape,
Oligio alone may be insufficient, and
it is more effective when combined with
ultrasound lifting procedures such as Ultherapy or Shink.
On the other hand,
if you have thin skin with many fine lines,
or skin that is loose and has enlarged pores,
you can expect satisfactory results with Oligio alone.
In other words, accurately diagnosing my skin condition and
combining appropriate devices is crucial.
🧠 Summary of Oligio Lifting Effects
The effects of Oligio are
divided into short, medium, and long term.
Immediately after the procedure, you'll feel
an immediate tightening effect,
and you can experience changes in skin texture becoming smoother.
Afterwards, after 2-4 weeks,
collagen regeneration becomes active,
and skin density increases, gradually enhancing elasticity.
After 1-3 months,
fine lines or pores can noticeably diminish,
and overall skin texture becomes smooth and firm,
leading to long-term effects.
In other words, Oligio shows the process of skin being健康地
regenerated over time while also providing an immediate tightening sensation.

💧 Oligio + Skin Botox Combined Effect
Oligio is a tightening procedure that tightens the deep dermis of the skin,
while skin Botox acts on the surface of the skin to
refine fine lines and pores.
The combined procedure of Oligio and Botox provides
a three-dimensional skin improvement effect by managing both the internal and external layers at the same time.
Oligio regenerates collagen in the skin to enhance elasticity,
while skin Botox smooths the skin surface,
improving the skin thoroughly from the inside out.
Especially for those with thin skin and many fine lines,
the combination of Oligio and Botox works excellently,
enhancing skin texture, glow, and pore improvement.
In addition, skin Botox controls sebum production,
alleviating temporary oiliness or redness that might occur after Oligio
while also stabilizing skin that has been stimulated by heat.
As a result,
the Oligio and Botox procedure creates a balance where the inside is firm,
and the outside is smooth,
making it a perfect combination.
With consistent Oligio and Botox care,
you can manage both skin elasticity and glow,
and experience increasingly refined skin texture over time.
💡 Important Notes for Oligio Procedure
The key to Oligio results lies in
precisely controlling energy.
Just because you increase the radiofrequency doesn’t mean it’s always good.
If it’s too strong, side effects like redness, burns, or sting could occur,
and conversely, if it’s too weak, the effects will be minimal.
Therefore, medical professionals should
💡Asses skin thickness
💡Assess sebum levels
💡Assess elasticity levels
💡Assess heat reaction levels
to carefully adjust the custom settings.
In other words, the expertise of the practitioner
determines the quality of the results.
Even with the same device,
the number of shots, overlapping times, and delivery methods can completely change the results.
📍 I recommend this for the following people
📍Those whose skin is generally dull and lacking elasticity
📍Those who want to improve fine lines, pores, and skin texture
📍Those who prefer natural changes in skin improvement
📍Those looking for procedures with shorter recovery times
📍Those who want to manage elasticity and glow with Oligio and Botox
✅ Today’s Key Points
1️⃣ Oligio is a radiofrequency tightening procedure
2️⃣ Excellent for skin texture, pores, and fine lines improvement
3️⃣ Synergy maximized when combined with Oligio and Botox
4️⃣ Energy setting and practitioner expertise determine the results
