Q. Why does Oligio X pricing vary
so much from clinic to clinic?
Does a higher price mean better results?
A. The key difference comes down to shot count.
Whether you receive 300 or 600 shots
directly affects both the price and the coverage area.
Q. How do I know whether
300 shots is enough or if I need 600?
A. It depends on your face size and the degree of sagging.
We'll walk you through exactly how to determine that in this post.
"Oligio X Lifting is priced
based on either 300 or 600 shots,
with 300 shots generally ranging
from approximately 300,000 to 500,000 KRW."

The Real Reason Oligio X Pricing
Varies Between Clinics
If you've been searching for Oligio X Lifting recently,
you've probably noticed that prices differ quite significantly from clinic to clinic —
some as low as 200,000 KRW, others as high as 700,000 KRW.
You might be wondering, "It's the same device — why such a big gap?"
Here's the key thing to understand.
Oligio X is priced based on the number of shots delivered.
Procedures are generally structured around two tiers:
300 shots and 600 shots.
The standard market price for 300 shots
typically falls in the range of 300,000 to 500,000 KRW.
600 shots is roughly double that figure.
So what exactly does "shot count" mean?
Oligio X delivers Radiofrequency (RF) energy
into the deeper layers of the skin in precise, dot-like points —
and each one of those points counts as one shot.
Simply put, the more shots, the larger the area covered.
To be straightforward with you:
if you have a smaller face or minimal sagging,
300 shots is often more than sufficient.
On the other hand, if you have a larger face or want coverage
that extends below the cheekbones and down to the neck,
600 shots or more is usually the better fit.
Every case is different, but my approach is consistent:
I first calculate the minimum number of shots needed
to achieve meaningful results for your specific facial structure,
and then build the treatment plan from there.
👨⚕️ Dr. Wi Young-jin's Key Takeaway
The price difference in Oligio X is not about the device —
it's about the shot count.
300 shots typically runs 300,000–500,000 KRW;
600 shots is roughly double that.
Choosing based on price alone risks getting
either too few shots to cover your face adequately,
or more than you actually need.
The right approach is to first determine
how many shots your face actually requires.
So, Which Is Right for You —
300 Shots or 600 Shots?
This is where things get a bit tricky. Many clinic websites simply say
"Choose between 300 or 600 shots" without any further guidance.
But how are patients supposed to know which is right for them?
Here are the three criteria I use to make that call.
First: Face Size.
If you have a smaller face, 300 shots can typically cover
the cheeks, forehead, and jawline effectively.
If your face is larger than average,
starting with 600 shots tends to deliver better coverage and value.
Second: Area of Sagging.
If you're only concerned about cheek sagging, 300 shots is usually sufficient.
But if you want to address the neck and jawline as well,
you'll need additional shots to cover the full area.
Third: Your Expectations for Longevity.
This is a common misconception worth addressing —
more shots does not mean double the duration of results.
How long the effects last depends far more on your individual skin condition
and post-procedure care habits.
Shot count determines how broadly the area is covered,
not how long the results will last.
That said, it's also important to set realistic expectations.
Oligio X works gradually — results develop over time,
so if you're expecting dramatic changes on the day of the procedure,
you may feel disappointed.
Most patients begin noticing visible Lifting
as the tissue tightens over 4 to 8 weeks following the procedure.
For those seeking natural, subtle improvement,
Oligio X remains an excellent choice.
I've personally seen many patients who had previously tried Ultherapy or Shurink
with underwhelming results switch to Oligio X
and express real satisfaction after 2–3 sessions.
Oligio X Lifting —
Who Tends to See the Best Results
Like any Lifting procedure,
Oligio X doesn't deliver identical results for everyone.
Based on my consultations, here are the cases
where I've seen the most consistent success:
· Patients who feel heaviness or drooping in the lower cheek area
· Those who are concerned about Pain with ultrasound-based Lifting (HIFU) procedures
· Patients in their mid-30s to early 50s experiencing gradual loss of Elasticity
· Those who prefer natural, subtle changes with minimal Downtime
On the other hand,
if sagging is already quite advanced,
or if you're looking for more immediate, noticeable results,
I more often recommend combining Oligio X with another Lifting procedure
rather than relying on Oligio X alone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How many sessions of Oligio X Lifting
do I need to see real results?
A. Individual results vary, but most patients
begin noticing a difference 4 to 8 weeks after the first session.
For those with significantly reduced Elasticity,
completing 2–3 sessions spaced 2–3 months apart
tends to significantly improve longevity as well.
Rather than giving up after just one session,
I recommend allowing at least 4 weeks
to observe how your skin responds.
Q2. Can Oligio X be combined with other Lifting procedures?
A. Yes, absolutely.
When combined with ultrasound-based Lifting (HIFU),
both deeper and mid-level tissue layers can be addressed simultaneously,
often producing fuller, more comprehensive results
than either procedure alone.
That said, whether the procedures can be performed on the same day
and how much time should be left between sessions
depends on your individual skin condition — so always consult with your doctor first.
We encourage you to have a thorough consultation
before making any decisions.
