As we age, our skin naturally loses its firmness due to decreased collagen and elastin production, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and double chin. This loss of elasticity affects various areas of the body, such as the face, neck, arms, legs, abdomen, and more. Many people seek skin-tightening treatments to combat these signs of ageing, and while surgical facelifts were once considered the primary option, non-invasive procedures like radiofrequency (RF) treatments have become increasingly popular.
Among these non-surgical options, Oligio RF Treatment from South Korea has been gaining traction for its approach to skin tightening. However, RF treatments could be confusing, especially to the unfamiliar. Hence, let’s look at the main differences between Oligio RF Treatment and traditional treatments.
1. Oligio uses different tips to treat different areas
Traditional RF treatments use radiofrequency energy to heat the skin’s deeper layers and stimulate collagen production. While effective, these treatments can sometimes face higher risk especially when treating delicate areas such as around the eyes.
Oligio RF, on the other hand, comes with an Eye Tip for delicate areas and a Face Tip for cheeks and neck. This allows the doctors to tailor the energy output specifically to the treated area and maximise focus on areas that need the most attention, ensuring more consistent and natural-looking results.
2. Faster Treatment Sessions
When comparing Oligio RF with traditional RF procedures, time efficiency is a clear advantage of Oligio. Oligio RF incorporates an energy delivery system that allows it to heat the deeper layers of the skin more quickly. As a result, Oligio RF treatment sessions are generally shorter, often lasting under 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. This makes it a more convenient option for those with busy schedules or looking for faster results.
3. Minimal Pain With Cooling & Vibration Technology
One of the common concerns with traditional RF treatments is the discomfort associated with the procedure. Since RF treatments rely on heat to stimulate collagen production, patients can sometimes experience discomfort or pain, especially during longer sessions.
Oligio RF stands out with its cooling and vibration technology. This feature provides controlled cooling to the skin’s surface while the device heats the deeper layers. By maintaining a balance between heat and cooling, Oligio RF minimises discomfort, making the experience more comfortable for patients, especially those sensitive to heat or pain.
4. More Suitable for Asian Delicate Skin Types
One limitation of some traditional RF treatments is that they may be less effective or riskier, especially for Asian skin tones. Some RF devices can cause pigmentation issues in melanin-rich skin.
Oligio RF is designed to be safe for all skin types, making it a more versatile treatment. Its customizable settings allow practitioners to adjust the energy levels to suit different skin tones, minimizing the risk of hyperpigmentation and other side effects that might occur with traditional RF procedures.
5. Visible Results After 1 Session
Traditional RF treatments often require multiple sessions to achieve visible results, sometimes taking 3-4 sessions over several months. Oligio RF treatments, however, generally require fewer sessions due to the energy output and technology used.
Patients undergoing Oligio RF treatments typically see noticeable skin tightening and rejuvenation after just 1 session and don’t typically require maintenance until a year later. This means Oligio is not only more efficient but also more cost-effective over time.
6. Long-lasting Results
With Oligio RF, patients often see an immediate improvement after their first session, and results continue to improve over the next several months. The effects can last up to one year or more, with regular maintenance treatments helping to sustain the results for even longer.
7. Quick Recovery Time
One of the benefits of both Oligio RF and traditional RF treatments is the minimal downtime. Oligio RF delivers more precise energy with the addition of controlled cooling, the recovery period is often shorter. Most patients experience only mild redness or swelling, which typically resolves within a few hours. This allows individuals to return to their regular activities almost immediately after treatment.
Conclusion
If you’re considering RF treatments to tighten and firm your skin, Oligio RF could be a good choice. Speak to our MOH-certified doctors to discuss your skin conditions and determine how Oligio RF can help achieve your skin goals.
