Oligio RF Skin Tightening in Kuala Lumpur
As the skin ages, it may gradually lose firmness and elasticity. Areas such as the cheeks, jawline, jowls, neck and around the eyes may begin to look looser, while fine lines become more noticeable.
Oligio is a non-invasive monopolar radiofrequency treatment used for facial and skin tightening. Instead of injections or surgery, the procedure delivers RF energy through the skin while incorporating a cooling system for treatment comfort.
- Non-surgical and non-invasive procedure
- Suitable for facial and eye-area treatment
- Different treatment tips for different areas
- Minimal downtime
- Treatment settings customised by a medical doctor
What Is Oligio?
Oligio is a monopolar radiofrequency treatment developed by South Korean medical device manufacturer WONTECH.
It is an energy-based treatment primarily used for individuals experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity and age-related changes in the face and neck.
Unlike laser treatments that use light energy, Oligio uses radiofrequency energy.
The treatment can be customised according to the area being treated, with different tips available for broader facial areas and smaller, more delicate areas around the eyes.
How Does Oligio Work?
Oligio delivers controlled monopolar radiofrequency energy into the skin, where the energy is converted into heat. The treatment process can be understood in three stages.
Step 1.
RF Energy Heats the Targeted Tissue
Radiofrequency energy passes through the skin and creates controlled heating within the targeted tissue.
Unlike surface treatments, the aim is to generate a thermal response beneath the skin without removing the outer skin layer.
Step 2.
Existing Collagen Responds to Heat
When collagen fibres reach the appropriate treatment temperature, they undergo an immediate thermal response.
This causes existing collagen fibres to contract, which may contribute to an initial tightening effect after treatment.
Step 3.
Collagen Remodelling Continues
The controlled thermal stimulation also activates the skin’s repair response.
Over the following weeks and months, collagen remodelling continues progressively. This is why the final outcome of an RF treatment is not expected to appear immediately after the procedure.
One Device, Different Treatment Tips
Different areas of the face have different skin thicknesses, shapes and levels of sensitivity.
Oligio uses interchangeable treatment tips so that energy can be delivered according to the size and characteristics of the treatment area.
Oligio Eye Tip
The smaller eye tip is designed to treat the more delicate areas surrounding the eyes.
Its smaller treatment surface allows the doctor to work more precisely around areas such as:
- Upper eyelids
- Lower eyelids
- Under-eye area
- Outer corners of the eyes
- Brow area
This tip is generally considered when treating ageing concerns concentrated around the eye area.
Oligio Face Tip
The larger face tip covers a wider surface area and is used for broader facial and neck treatment.
It may be used across areas such as the:
- Forehead
- Cheeks
- Lower face
- Jawline
- Under-chin area
- Neck
The appropriate tip and treatment settings will be selected according to the treatment area.
What Are the Benefits of Oligio?
01.
Firmer-Looking Skin
Skin that has begun to lose elasticity may appear firmer as collagen remodelling develops after treatment.
02.
Improved Skin Texture
The skin may gradually appear smoother as its structural support improves.
03.
Reduced Fine Lines
Fine lines around areas such as the forehead, eyes and mouth may become less noticeable as skin firmness improves.
04.
Improved Facial Definition
Tightening loose-looking skin around the lower face may help create a cleaner and more defined facial contour.
05.
Tighter-Looking Jawline and Jowls
Individuals with early jowl formation or mild lower-face laxity may notice a tighter-looking jawline.
06.
Natural and Progressive Changes
Because the treatment supports natural collagen remodelling, improvements develop gradually rather than creating an immediate dramatic change.
How Does Oligio Reduce Treatment Discomfort?
Radiofrequency treatments work by generating heat, so temperature management is an important part of the treatment experience. Oligio incorporates a cooling and vibration system that works alongside RF delivery. The treatment process generally consists of:
1. Pre-Cooling
The skin is cooled before RF energy is delivered.
This helps protect the skin surface and prepares the treatment area for the following RF pulse.
2. RF Heating
Radiofrequency energy is delivered into the targeted tissue to create the controlled thermal effect required for treatment.
Patients may experience a brief warm or heating sensation during this stage.
3. Post-Cooling and Vibration
Cooling is applied again after energy delivery, while vibration helps reduce the intensity of the heating sensation.
This heating-and-cooling sequence is repeated throughout the procedure.
Oligio vs HIFU: What Is the Difference?
Although both treatments may be used for non-surgical facial tightening, they work using different forms of energy.
| Feature | Oligio | HIFU |
|---|---|---|
| Energy Type | Monopolar Radiofrequency (RF) | Focused Ultrasound |
| How It Works | Delivers controlled heating throughout targeted tissue | Delivers focused ultrasound energy at selected tissue depths |
| Main Purpose | Non-surgical skin tightening and firming | Non-surgical lifting and tightening |
Neither treatment is automatically better than the other.
The more appropriate option depends on factors such as degree of skin laxity, facial structure, tissue thickness, treatment area and individual treatment goals
What Does Oligio Treatment Feel Like?
During each RF shot, you may experience alternating sensations of cooling and warmth.
Some areas of the face may feel warmer than others, particularly where the tissue is thinner or where higher treatment energy is required.
The built-in cooling and vibration functions are designed to make RF delivery more comfortable.
Individual sensitivity varies, so the treatment settings can be adjusted by the doctor when necessary.
Are There Any Side Effects To Oligio Treatment?
The procedure begins with a consultation and facial assessment by our medical doctor. The doctor will examine:
✅ Degree of skin laxity
✅ Facial contours
✅ Areas of concern
✅ Skin condition
✅ Treatment suitability
The treatment area will then be cleansed and prepared. A treatment tip suitable for the selected area is attached to the Oligio handpiece. The doctor then delivers a planned number of RF shots across the treatment area.
Different settings may be used across different parts of the face depending on skin thickness, sensitivity and treatment goals.
After the required shots have been completed, the skin will be assessed before the procedure ends.
Treatment Using Genuine Oligio Device
At V Medical Clinic, Oligio treatments are performed using the genuine device manufactured by WONTECH.
Using the intended treatment system and compatible treatment tips is important because the device controls how RF energy, cooling and treatment parameters are delivered during the procedure.
Patients may request to view the clinic’s Oligio device or relevant device documentation before treatment.
