Hongdae Oligio,
Are the reviews really true? I’ll tell you the truth

“From the reviews, it seems like the effect isn’t that great.”
“People say the results appear immediately— is that really true?”
When people are considering a lifting procedure, the first thing they usually do is look for reviews.
Especially recently, reviews of Oligio X have increased noticeably because it is said to bring quick changes after treatment and improve skin elasticity.
When you come across stories like this, you may think, ‘Maybe I should try it too,’ but many people are also surprised when the results after treatment are different from what they expected.
Some people talk about high satisfaction, while others say they didn’t feel any effect.
Many of you may be wondering why these differences happen, and whether the reviews are actually true.
Today, focusing on the points that are often mentioned in reviews, I’ll explain the truth about Oligio in detail.

What is the principle behind Oligio?

To understand the truth, it is important to first understand how Oligio works.
Oligio is a device that uses monopolar radiofrequency (RF) energy to promote collagen production in the dermis.
The concept of monopolar radiofrequency may feel somewhat unfamiliar. Radiofrequency generates heat in the skin, helping to tighten from within and supporting collagen regeneration.
Among these methods, the monopolar type delivers radiofrequency from one side only, while current is discharged through a circuit on the other side and passes through the body.
Thanks to this structure, the energy reaches relatively deep layers, making it more effective for collagen production.

The recently upgraded Oligio X is a device that enhances this effect even further.
It allows customized treatment based on each person’s skin thickness, and it can deliver heat evenly throughout the dermis.
The key feature that creates this difference is the G/X dual mode.

G mode delivers heat to the upper dermis, and X mode delivers heat to the deep dermis. By switching between G > X > G mode, continuous thermal stimulation is applied to the dermis.
As a result, collagen production becomes more efficient.
There may also be concerns about pain, but Oligio X has improved by strengthening its cooling system to twice the previous level, protecting the epidermis and reducing pain while increasing effectiveness.

Does it really have an immediate effect?

When looking at reviews, you often see comments like, “My face felt tighter right after the procedure.”
It would be hard to say that this is completely false.
In fact, immediately after an Oligio treatment, the collagen fibers temporarily contract, which can make the face feel tightened.
However, choosing the procedure mainly for this immediate change may be somewhat risky.
If you are expecting a noticeable lifting effect right after the procedure, Ulthera or Titanium lifting, which directly pull the fascia layer, may provide greater satisfaction.
Oligio requires about 2 to 3 months for new collagen to form and reorganize, and that is when you begin to feel the full changes.
Therefore, if you undergo the procedure expecting an instantly visible level of firmness, satisfaction may be lower.

Why did it seem ineffective?

Then why do some people say they did not feel any effect even after receiving Oligio X?
It is difficult to say for certain, but it is likely that the number of shots was insufficient, or that the wrong device was chosen for the individual’s skin condition.
Oligio differs depending on skin condition and treatment purpose, but when the goal is full-face lifting, around 600 shots are often used.
If only a localized area such as the eye area or mouth area is treated, the number of shots can be reduced, but if the skin is significantly sagging and the number of shots is insufficient, the effect will inevitably be limited.

Another point is that the cause of the skin concern may not be a loss of dermal elasticity.
The skin is made up of multiple layers, and if the deeper fascial layer is sagging, a device such as Ulthera may be more appropriate.
In this case, Oligio may not deliver energy to that area, so satisfaction can be low, which is why an accurate diagnosis before treatment is extremely important.

Hongdae Oligio is a device that delivers radiofrequency energy to the dermis to induce collagen regeneration,
and the recently upgraded Oligio X is characterized by delivering energy more effectively, making the changes more noticeable.
However, because the number of shots and device selection greatly affect the results, we recommend making your decision only after 충분한 consultation and diagnosis before treatment.
