Oligio vs Oligio XM comparison: effects and differences by 17-year medical staff | Gangnam Seoul, Korea Dermatology Clinic Guide

"I've heard of Oligio, but what's different about Oligio XM?" "Since it's new, does it have better lifting effects?" With the recent launch of Oligio XM, many people are curious about the differences between it and the existing Oligio.

Hello.

I am Dr. Oh Seung-min, Chief Director of O.N Clinic, who has been performing lifting procedures for 17 years. Just by the name, it's easy to think of it as simply an upgraded version of the existing Oligio. However, there are actual differences that go beyond just slight changes in output or convenience features.

This is because while the existing Oligio is a device that delivers energy based on monopolar radiofrequency, Oligio XM is designed to deliver energy to various depths by adding focused ultrasound functionality to radiofrequency.

So today, for those of you who are wondering, "Which one should I get, Oligio or Oligio XM?", I will summarize the key effects and differences. Even if you read for about 2 minutes, you will get a sense of how to distinguish between the two devices. ^^ Oligio vs Oligio XM comparison?

We will summarize the effects and differences.

The first thing you should look at is 'what kind of energy can be used'. Both can utilize radiofrequency energy, but Oligio XM also has focused ultrasound functionality, which makes a difference in the actual operational methods.

Oligio is a medical device that delivers 6.78MHz monopolar RF energy to the skin to coagulate tissue. It is also a device often considered by those who are looking into radiofrequency procedures due to concerns about reduced skin elasticity or changes in facial contours.

It is better to understand it as a device that delivers radiofrequency energy to the skin, rather than one that strongly pulls the entire face.

Even when concerned about changes in the elasticity of the cheeks or jawline, the applicability can be considered after checking the current skin condition. It also has the characteristic of being able to use separate tips for the face and for narrow areas, depending on the region.

Therefore, what is important is not simply viewing it as an 'existing device', but rather checking whether the monopolar RF method is suitable for your current concerns.

Oligio XM is a device that combines focused ultrasound functionality with the radiofrequency energy used in the existing Oligio. It is officially designed to use both radiofrequency and ultrasound, delivering energy to various depths from the superficial skin layer to the SMAS layer.

Oligio XM is configured to use the radiofrequency-based G · X mode, and

4.5mm

ultrasound cartridges that deliver energy to these depths.

Simply put, this means that you can choose between a method that utilizes radiofrequency energy and a method that uses focused ultrasound to deliver energy to different depths within one device. For example, whether to plan primarily with radiofrequency energy based on the current skin condition, or whether it is necessary to also consider other depths using ultrasound, may vary depending on the facial condition and the treatment area.

The biggest difference of Oligio XM is that in such cases, different energy sources and depths can be selected for the procedure. Oligio vs Oligio XM comparison? We will summarize the effects and differences.

There is a common misunderstanding here. Not everyone needs to receive Oligio XM just because it's a new device. If the monopolar radiofrequency method is suitable for your current concerns and skin condition, the existing Oligio can also be an option.

Conversely, if it's necessary to consider different depths and energy sources together rather than just one method, then exploring the various modes of Oligio XM might be an option.

In other words, the difference lies not in 'new vs. old model', but rather in 'how deep the treatment is needed for the face'. This aspect is much more important in the actual choice. Oligio vs Oligio XM comparison? We will summarize the effects and differences.

When I decide on a lifting procedure, the first thing I look at is not the type or name of the device. I first look at 'which layer this sagging started from'. I distinguish whether the skin itself is thin and stretched, whether deeper layers of tissue have descended, or whether the face appears saggy due to volume loss.

These three, while all appearing as 'sagging face' on the surface, can lead to completely different treatment approaches. That's why, in the consultation room, I consider both existing lifting devices and the newly released Oligio XM as options, and first determine what treatment scope is needed.

There's no reason to use energy at various depths if it's not necessary, and conversely, if the current condition requires examining other depths as well, then an appropriate method can be considered. Ultimately, no matter which device is used...

It's necessary to go through the process of confirming 'what part of my face needs to be addressed first' rather than just the type. If you compare based on the information I've explained today, you'll be able to make a much wiser decision than simply asking, "Is Oligio XM better?"

That's all I've prepared for today. This has been Dr. Oh Seung-min, Chief Director of O.N Clinic. Thank you.

My skin is thin, but only my jawline appears saggy. Which lifting device should I use for the procedure?

Skin thickness and jawline sagging do not necessarily originate from the same cause. It is advisable to first distinguish whether it is due to reduced surface elasticity or sagging originating from deeper layers, and then select the device.

I've had the existing Oligio, can I switch to Oligio XM?

The possibility depends on reviewing your previous procedure responses and current skin condition together. Rather than simply being a new model, what layer needs to be treated this time is more important.

My face has little fat, is it okay to get a lifting procedure?

For faces with less volume, the process of distinguishing between sunken areas and actually saggy areas is particularly important. A method that selects only the necessary areas, rather than treating all areas with the same intensity, may be suitable.

After getting Oligio XM, do I not need any other procedures?

Just because one lifting device can address multiple skin layers does not mean it can solve all skin concerns at once. Depending on skin texture, volume, and the type of sagging, other treatments may be more suitable or a combination may be necessary.
