Hapjeong-dong Dermatology Clinic Oligio X: What’s Different About Measuring Resistance With Every Shot?

How is it different from Thermage?

It is a device that measures resistance with every shot.

At our Hapjeong-dong dermatology clinic,

many people were curious about Oligio X,

so I put together a simple explanation myself.

"How is it different from the original Oligio?"

"How does it compare with Thermage?"

"Can I get it without anesthesia?"

I get questions like these very often. I’ll answer them honestly, one by one.

✅ 1. How much does Oligio X cost?

Based on our Hapjeong-dong dermatology clinic pricing,

it is 1.05 million won for 600 shots.

It is priced about 10–20% higher

than the original Oligio.

Since the device itself has higher output,

the difference is reflected in the price.

✅ 2. What is the treatment interval?

A 3–6 month interval is recommended.

The effect can last from 6 months

up to about 1 year.

Rather than doing it just once and stopping,

managing it regularly and building collagen over time

leads to better results.

✅ 3. How is it different from the original Oligio?

The biggest difference is

the way the energy is delivered.

Oligio is a lifting device

that uses radiofrequency.

It measures the skin’s resistance

and delivers radiofrequency electrical energy

to the skin.

The original Oligio

measured resistance once at the beginning

and then continuously delivered the same energy.

Oligio X is different.

It measures resistance with every shot

and delivers the appropriate energy accordingly.

Thanks to this method, it can deliver stronger energy

more safely,

and the effect reaches deeper layers.

You can think of it as

a technology similar to Thermage.

The cooling is also stronger,

so the risk of burns is much lower.

The speed has also improved a lot.

If the original Oligio was 600 shots,

Oligio X often goes up to

930 shots.

✅ 4. What skin type is it best for?

It is more suitable for people whose skin is thin

and who have lost elasticity,

leading to sagging.

In particular, I recommend it for people around their 50s

who are on the slimmer side

and have significantly reduced skin elasticity.

Compared with people whose skin is thick and has a lot of fat,

Oligio X shows more noticeable results

in people whose skin itself has become thinner.

✅ 5. How much better is it than the original Oligio?

Because stronger energy is delivered,

the improvement in skin elasticity is clearly better.

If the original Oligio gives the feeling that

"the skin texture has become firmer,"

Oligio X gives people who receive it at our Hapjeong-dong dermatology clinic

a stronger impression that

"the inside of the skin has filled out and become tighter."

The faster speed is also a big advantage.

As the treatment time is reduced,

it has become much easier to receive.

✅ 6. How is it different from Thermage?

Oligio X measures resistance with every shot

and adjusts the energy,

implementing a technology similar to Thermage.

If Thermage is currently the most powerful

radiofrequency lifting device on the market,

Oligio X is the device that has come

closest to it.

Thermage has strong effects,

but it can be costly and somewhat painful.

Oligio X can be a good value option because

it allows you to expect similar-direction results

at a more reasonable price than Thermage.

✅ 7. Does combining it with other procedures help more?

Yes, the synergy is greater when combined.

If you also want to address fine wrinkles,

I recommend Juvelook SB or Sofwave together.

If you do not want neck wrinkles to stand out,

Belotero Soft filler,

and if you want to address loose neck wrinkles as well,

a combination with Radiesse works well.

Oligio X helps with skin elasticity and lifting,

while combined procedures at our Hapjeong-dong dermatology clinic

more precisely refine the details of each area.

✅ 8. How much does it hurt?

It is at a level that can be

tolerated without anesthesia.

It feels a bit hotter than the original Oligio,

but thanks to the stronger cooling,

it can usually be done without anesthesia.

Many people describe it as

"a slight sting or warmth."

If you are worried about pain,

please feel free to mention it during your consultation at our Hapjeong-dong dermatology clinic;

you can also proceed after applying numbing cream first.

✅ 9. When does the effect start, and how long does it last?

The effect starts to be felt

about 2 weeks after the procedure.

From around 4 weeks, as collagen forms,

the lifting effect becomes more noticeable.

The effect can last from 6 months

to as long as 1 year.

That is why regular management every 3–6 months

is the best way to maintain the effect

for as long as possible and in the best condition.

Oligio X

measures skin resistance with every shot,

and is an upgraded radiofrequency lifting device

that delivers energy more safely and more strongly.

For those who find Thermage burdensome

and felt the original Oligio was a little lacking in effect,

Oligio X can be a smart choice.

If your skin has started to become thinner

and lose elasticity,

it is a treatment worth seriously considering at least once.
