[Premium Elasticity Considering Balance] Oligio Lifting

Oligio Treatment at Kkeuthan Clinic

*Information on Oligio Treatment at Kkeuthan Clinic

Radiofrequency (RF) lifting is a non-invasive lifting method that utilizes resistance heat generated when radiofrequency current passes through the skin.

The generated heat warms collagen fibers in the skin to approximately 60-70℃, leading to an immediate tightening effect. Concurrently, it activates fibroblasts, inducing the production of new collagen and elastin.

1. Immediately after the treatment, you may feel an improvement in skin elasticity due to collagen contraction in the dermal layer.

2. Subsequently, over several weeks, a regenerative response to the thermal stimulation will appear, and a gradual lifting effect can be expected.​

*Radiofrequency lifting treatment methods are divided into two types.

There are Monopolar and Bipolar methods.

The Monopolar method can primarily be used for structural improvement of deeper skin layers,

while the Bipolar method can be considered more suitable for elasticity management of the skin surface.

Each method has technical differences in the depth of energy penetration and the range where heat acts.

Here are a few situational examples to explain.

1. For improving a double chin or sagging jawline, the Monopolar method, which can deliver thermal stimulation to the fat layer, can help with contour improvement.

2. For individuals with thin or sensitive skin, the Bipolar method, which primarily acts on the superficial layer and can be received relatively comfortably, may be suitable.

3. Areas like nasolabial folds require extensive stimulation from the dermis to the fat layer, so the Monopolar method may be considered.

4. For managing skin texture, pores, and fine wrinkles, the Bipolar method, which can help restore superficial density and improve skin texture, can be utilized.

5. When you want to quickly feel increased skin elasticity, the Bipolar method, which induces superficial contraction, may be more suitable.

Thus, it is crucial to select the appropriate lifting equipment by comprehensively considering individual skin condition, age, fat volume, thickness, sensitivity, and other factors.

*We avoid uniform treatment methods such as 'you must receive more than X shots'.

There may be limitations in effectiveness if only radiofrequency energy is delivered.

A true lifting procedure requires comprehensive consideration of 'which areas to treat, in what manner, with how much energy, and how to combine with other treatments'.

Therefore, how the practitioner understands and utilizes the device can be said to be one of the key factors determining the satisfaction of a lifting procedure.

*When performing Oligio treatment, precise output settings, customized stimulation for each skin layer, consideration of treatment directionality, and designing combined treatments as needed can further enhance retention and post-treatment satisfaction. This goes beyond simply 'lightly tightening' the skin; it utilizes Oligio as 'equipment that can systematically plan lifting effects'.

We aim not merely for 'temporary' skin contraction, but to create 'an elastic structure that can be maintained for a long time'.

We believe this approach represents true lifting.

Distinguishing Feature 1. Effective Energy Intensity Control – Research-Based Treatment Protocols

Based on various papers and research data, we set energy intensity levels that can be expected to produce treatment effects.

We do not adjust radiofrequency energy solely based on the patient's 'not feeling hot' or 'no pain'.

At our clinic, based on standards presented through domestic and international papers and accumulated clinical data,

that is, we consider the 'critical energy level' required to induce effective collagen contraction and remodeling as an important basis.

Generally, we aim for a minimum of 0.07kJ per shot (Oligio standard level 4.5 or higher) of energy,

and ensure the treatment follows a protocol designed to achieve a total energy amount of 40kJ or more.

This does not simply mean a 'low-pain treatment',

but rather an effort to provide a 'precisely planned treatment based on energy criteria that can be expected to produce results'.

Within the comfortable tolerance range of the patient, the treatment intensity is maximized and adjusted with great precision.

We strive to minimize post-treatment discomfort while not compromising expectations for treatment results.

Oligio treatment performed based on these standards

can be expected to induce collagen remodeling in the dermal layer, leading to positive changes in skin elasticity and texture.

Precise Design Planning – Considering Overall Facial Harmony

• It goes beyond simple skin-tightening lifts. If you are concerned about asymmetry or significant loss of elasticity in specific areas, we establish a personalized design through in-depth consultation with our medical team.
• By carefully considering each individual's facial structure and aesthetic concerns, we aim for the most natural yet harmonious improvement.

Post-Procedure Shot Count Verification – Transparency of the Process

• After the procedure, we conclude by directly showing patients that the promised number of shots has been accurately applied.
• We strive for procedures built on trust and results you can anticipate.

Area-Specific Resistance Control Check – An Approach for Safety and Efficacy

We re-measure the impedance (resistance value) of each area to finely adjust the energy output.

Monopolar radiofrequency (RF) treatment utilizes thermal energy generated according to the tissue's resistance value.

This means that the resistance value (impedance) varies for each area, depending on facial skin thickness, fat layer, blood flow, and other factors.

Therefore, the energy output required should naturally differ for each area, such as the cheeks, forehead, jawline, and double chin.

However, in some Oligio treatment methods,

the entire area may be treated uniformly with a single resistance value set at the beginning.

This method can result in either excessive or insufficient thermal energy delivery depending on the area,

potentially leading to variations in treatment results and increasing the risk of overheating.

We re-measure the impedance every time the treatment area is changed,

and reset the energy to an appropriate output for that specific area before proceeding with the treatment.

We apply energy settings tailored to the skin characteristics and resistance of each area, such as the forehead, jaw, cheeks, and neck.

Safety is enhanced through a resistance sensing function for each shot and manual re-setting when switching between areas.

This leads to more precise treatment results and focuses on reducing the risk of side effects.

Why does skin elasticity gradually decrease? Start your elasticity management with Oligio!

As we age, our skin

gradually loses collagen,

its elastin structure loses elasticity,

and fibroblast function also declines.

As a result, the skin becomes thinner and sags easily.

Consequently, elasticity in the cheek area decreases,

and deep wrinkles appear around the eyes and jawline, along with skin laxity.

To improve these fundamental changes in skin structure,

it is necessary to go beyond simply managing the surface,

and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin.

Considering these points,

by delivering high-frequency heat deep into the dermis,

we propose 'Oligio Lifting,' which aids in collagen contraction and regeneration.

Detailed Procedure Explanation

Oligio is a treatment that utilizes RF (Radiofrequency) energy to activate collagen in the dermis.

Heat delivered safely to the dermis with controlled current can denature collagen, helping to improve double chin, alleviate skin sagging, and enhance skin texture.

A key feature is that collagen is gradually generated after the treatment, allowing for sustained effects.

This non-invasive procedure can be performed without anesthesia, and thanks to its cooling and vibration modes, pain is relatively minimal.

Benefits of the Procedure

• 01. It incorporates a contact gas cooling system and vibration technology to help alleviate pain.
• This procedure utilizes contact gas cooling and vibration technology to reduce pain discomfort. Simultaneously, it protects the skin's surface while helping radiofrequency (RF) energy effectively reach the deep layers of the skin.
• The impedance check function monitors the current flow in the treated tissue in real-time. This helps ensure that the appropriate RF energy is delivered for each individual.
• The skin temperature tracking sensor measures the temperature of the skin contact surface in real-time during the procedure. This can help reduce the possibility of side effects that may occur during treatment.
• A pressure sensor ensures that the treatment device operates only within an appropriate pressure range. This feature contributes to enhancing the stability of the procedure.

This procedure may be considered for those who:

• 01. Are concerned about wrinkles on the forehead, glabella, or nasolabial folds.
• 02. Desire overall improvement in facial skin elasticity.
• 03. Are troubled by enlarged pores or uneven skin texture.
• 04. Are interested in improving a double chin or sagging facial contours.
• 05. Find long recovery periods after procedures burdensome.
• 06. Desire a lifting effect through non-surgical or non-injection methods.

Procedure Steps

• STEP 01. Perform self-cleansing.
• STEP 02. Apply gel to the treatment area.
• STEP 03. Perform the Oligio lifting procedure.
• STEP 04. We will soothe and prepare your skin after the procedure.

Post-Procedure Precautions

• ㆍFor individuals with thin skin tissue, temporary tip marks may appear on the treated area. These marks typically tend to gradually and naturally subside over about 1-2 weeks.
• ㆍAfter the procedure, mild symptoms such as slight redness, warmth, throbbing, swelling, pain, toothache, or tooth sensitivity may appear in the treated area. While these reactions vary from person to person, most can gradually improve within 1-2 weeks.
