Oligio RF Skin Tightening and Lifting

Oligio is a skin-tightening treatment that uses Monopolar radiofrequency (RF) energy to deliver heat evenly into the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production, reducing sagging, and helping skin look smoother and firmer. It can be done on both the face and neck, with low discomfort and no downtime. You may begin to feel some firmness early on, with results becoming clearer over several weeks. Results vary by individual.

What is Oligio?

Oligio is a skin-tightening device that uses Monopolar radiofrequency (RF) energy to deliver heat evenly into the dermis, stimulating collagen-producing cells (fibroblasts) to work and create new collagen and elastin. The skin gradually looks firmer, tighter, and more contoured. A key feature of Oligio is the cooling system at the treatment tip, which protects the upper layer of the skin and makes the procedure more comfortable than older RF tightening methods.

What does Oligio help with?

Oligio addresses sagging skin and firmness by using radiofrequency heat to stimulate collagen:

• Lifts sagging skin — around the cheeks, jawline, and under the chin
• Reduces sagging — helps the facial contour look more defined and sculpted
• Stimulates collagen — skin gradually looks firmer and more contoured
• Smoother, firmer skin — reduces the dull look that comes from skin lacking firmness
• Softens fine lines — around the eyes and shallow facial creases

Which areas can Oligio treat?

Oligio can be applied to many areas of the face and neck. Your doctor will choose the areas and the number of shots to suit your skin condition and goals:

• Forehead — helps the skin look smoother and firmer
• Around the eyes and outer corners — addresses skin that is starting to sag and fine lines
• Cheeks and nasolabial folds — lifts, firms, and adds fullness
• Facial contour and jaw — helps define the jawline
• Under the chin and double chin — reduces sagging beneath the chin
• Neck — addresses neck skin that is starting to sag and develop lines

How does Oligio work?

The Oligio treatment tip emits Monopolar radiofrequency at a frequency of 6.78 MHz into the dermis, generating a controlled, optimal level of heat accumulation. This heat causes existing collagen to contract for an initial firming effect, and stimulates fibroblast cells to create new collagen and elastin over the following period. At the same time, the cooling system at the treatment tip keeps the outer layer of skin cool to protect the upper skin and reduce the sensation of heat during treatment. The result is gradual and natural-looking.

How many shots of Oligio do you need?

The number of shots depends on the size of the area being treated and the degree of sagging. The larger the area or the more areas treated, the more shots are typically used. Your doctor will assess and recommend a suitable package. The table below is a rough guide for choosing:

Every package comes with complimentary HIFU matching the number of shots you choose — for example, Oligio 100 shots with a free HIFU 100 shots — so a single course covers both the surface-to-mid RF tightening from Oligio and the deep HIFU lifting.

Who is Oligio suitable for, and who should avoid it?

Suitable for those whose skin is starting to sag and who want to lift and firm and reduce sagging, who want to stimulate collagen without downtime, or who are looking for a gentle treatment that can be done on an ongoing basis.

Tell your doctor or avoid if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, have metal or non-dissolvable filler in the area to be treated, have a wound or skin inflammation in that area, or have certain underlying conditions. Your doctor will take your history and assess your suitability every time beforehand.

The Oligio procedure at Onnyx Clinic

1. Consultation and assessment — your doctor discusses your goals and examines your skin condition and degree of sagging
2. Treatment design — determining the areas and the number of shots that suit you as an individual
3. Skin preparation — cleansing the skin and applying conductive gel to the treatment area
4. Performed by a doctor / medical team — delivering the radiofrequency area by area according to plan
5. Aftercare — providing care guidance and scheduling a follow-up

Does Oligio hurt, and is there downtime?

During treatment you typically feel a rhythmic warmth, which most people find comfortable, because Oligio has a cooling system at the treatment tip that reduces the sensation of heat on the upper skin. Your doctor will adjust the energy level to suit how each person feels. Afterward you can return to your normal routine with no downtime. There may be slight redness or warmth that gradually subsides within a few hours to a day.

When does Oligio show results, and how long do they last?

Skin may look firmer early on as collagen contracts from the heat, and the results of new collagen formation gradually become more apparent over several weeks to several months. How long results last and how clearly they show depend on each person’s skin condition, age, and care:

Results vary by individual, and your doctor will recommend a suitable care schedule for you.

Is Oligio safe, and what are the side effects?

Oligio is safe when performed by a doctor or medical team in a licensed medical facility with appropriate energy settings. The cooling system at the tip helps protect the upper layer of skin. Side effects are usually mild and temporary, such as redness or warmth in the treated area, which typically improves on its own within a few hours to a day. The most significant risk is having it done by someone who is not a doctor or with non-standard equipment, so you should choose a licensed medical facility.

Pros and limitations of Oligio

To help you decide clearly, the table below summarizes the pros and limitations to be aware of before treatment. Results vary by individual:

Can Oligio be combined with other treatments?

In general, Oligio can be planned together with other treatments because it works through a different mechanism and on a different skin layer — for example, with HIFU to address both surface-level firming and deep lifting, or with botulinum toxin and filler to address lines and add volume in different spots. Your doctor will assess the order and spacing of each treatment to keep it appropriate and safe. Results vary by individual.

How is Oligio different from Thermage?

Both are Monopolar radiofrequency tightening treatments that work on similar principles, but they differ in some details:

Your doctor will help recommend which option suits your skin condition and goals.

How is Oligio different from HIFU?

Oligio uses radiofrequency (RF), while HIFU uses high-frequency ultrasound, so they work on different layers and feel different. Many people choose to combine them to address both firmness and lifting:

Your doctor will assess and recommend which option, or combination, suits you best.

How much does Oligio cost, and how do you choose a package?

The price of Oligio depends on the number of shots and the area treated. Onnyx Clinic offers packages from 100 to 600 shots, every package including the same number of complimentary HIFU shots (for example, Oligio 100 shots with a free HIFU 100 shots), to suit different degrees of sagging and budgets. You can see the options and transparent pricing in the price table, and your doctor will help recommend a package that suits you on your consultation day. Results vary by individual.
