What is Oligio RF Skin Tightening?
Oligio translates into “lifting up” in Korean. As the name suggests, Oligio RF is a monopolar radiofrequency (RF) device designed for non-surgical, no-downtime skin tightening and lifting. At Bay Aesthetics Clinic and Medispa, we provide this treatment to help our clients achieve a youthful and radiant appearance without invasive surgery. Oligio RF Skin Tightening targets sagging skin, wrinkles, and fine lines by stimulating collagen production and improving skin elasticity. It offers a safe and effective solution for those seeking to enhance their natural beauty.
How does Oligio RF Skin Tightening work?
Oligo RF Skin Tightening works by addressing collagen loss. Collagen, which plays a crucial role in the structure, strength, and elasticity of our skin and other organs, tends to reduce as we age. Oligio RF Skin Tightening delivers controlled RF energy into the deeper layers of the skin.
Oligo RF Skin Tightening uses high-frequency RF energy of 6.78MHz to gently heat the skin 45-60℃. This allows immediate collagen contraction and stimulates new collagen production, addressing the collagen loss from the ageing process and improving the appearance of fine lines, dull skin, nasolabial folds, sagging skin, droopy eyelids, and eye bags. An intelligent cryogen cooling system with surface temperature monitoring maintains comfort and safety, allowing for a comfortable treatment process.
Oligio Treatment Principles
Benefits of Oligio RF Skin Tightening
- Skin tightening and firming: Oligo RF stimulates collagen production, reinforcing the skin’s structure and elasticity, leading to a firmer, lifted, and tightened appearance.
- Wrinkle reduction: Oligio RF effectively diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by improving skin tone and elasticity.
- Improved Skin Texture: Oligio RF can help refine pores and enhance skin texture, resulting in a smoother complexion.
- Long-lasting and natural-looking results: many patients experience sustained skin tone and texture improvements for several months. Additionally, Oligo RF stimulates the body’s natural collagen production, allowing for natural-looking, long-term skin rejuvenation.
- Non-invasive with minimal downtime: a less invasive option for skin rejuvenation than traditional surgical procedures. Most patients can resume their daily activities immediately after the treatment, with minimal discomfort or recovery time.
What conditions can Oligio RF Skin Tightening treat?
Oligio RF Skin Tightening is a versatile treatment addressing skin laxity, wrinkles, and fine lines. It improves skin texture, tone, and contour through collagen remodelling. Oligo RF Skin Tightening can be used in the following areas:
- Face, such as the cheeks, nasolabial folds, and jawline
- Neck
- Eye areas such as the upper and lower eyelid

What can I expect with Oligio RF Skin Tightening treatment?
At Bay Aesthetics Clinic and Medispa, your comfort is our priority. Your face will be cleansed to remove any makeup, oil, or impurities. This step ensures that the treatment is as effective as possible and that the RF energy can penetrate your skin evenly. Next, a numbing cream will be applied and left on for approximately 20 to 30 minutes. This ensures that you experience no discomfort during the Oligio RF treatment.
Depending on the targeted area, the Oligio RF treatment lasts 30 to 45 minutes. A handheld device will be used to deliver controlled RF energy into the deeper layers of your skin. This energy stimulates collagen production and tightens existing collagen fibres, resulting in firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
Once your treatment is over, you can immediately return to your normal activities as there is no downtime with Oligio RF treatment.
For optimal results, the following treatment shots are recommended:
- Full face: 600 shots
- Eyelids: 600 shots
- Full face and neck: 1200 shots
These recommendations ensure that the treatment is thorough and effective, targeting all the areas that can benefit from skin tightening and rejuvenation.
The process for safe Oligio treatment
Who is a good candidate for Oligio RF Skin Tightening?
Oligo RF is effective for:
- Early to moderate signs of ageing (fine lines, loose skin, droopy eyelids)
- Individuals aged 30 to 50, not pregnant, and with no metallic implants in their body
Oligio RF effectively treats early signs of ageing, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity.
What treatments can be combined with Oligio RF Skin Tightening?
Combining Oligio RF Skin Tightening with other complementary treatments can enhance the overall results and address multiple skin concerns simultaneously. Here at Bay Medical Aesthetics Clinic and Medispa, we offer a range of treatments that work synergistically with Oligio RF Skin Tightening to provide comprehensive skin rejuvenation.
- For face lifting + skin tightening = Ultherapy
- For collagen banking = JuveLook skinboosters
- For skin glow and radiance = Hydrafacial

Oligio translates into “lifting up” in Korean. As the name suggests, Oligio RF is a monopolar radiofrequency (RF) device designed for non-surgical, no-downtime skin tightening and lifting.
Oligio RF Skin Tightening targets sagging skin, wrinkles, and fine lines by stimulating collagen production and improving skin elasticity. It offers a safe and effective solution for those seeking to enhance their natural beauty.
Why Oligo RF?
Radiofrequency Technology: This treatment uses RF energy to warm the deeper layers of the skin, which stimulates the production of collagen. Collagen is a protein essential for maintaining the skin’s structure and elasticity.
Heat Application: By focusing on the dermal layers, the heat helps tighten existing collagen fibers and stimulates the production of new collagen.
Treatment areas: Full face, Neck, Eyelids
By using specialized transducers, Ulthera can precisely direct ultrasound energy to specific depths beneath the skin—namely, 4.5mm, 3mm, and 1.5mm. Focusing energy into concentrated points within the thermal coagulation zones allows temperatures under the skin to surpass 60°C.
This elevated temperature initiates a process known as neo-collagenesis in the targeted area, stimulating the production of new collagen, and reduced skin laxity, resulting in a firmer and more youthful appearance.
At 1.5mm
The focus at 1.5mm targets the dermis, addressing more superficial layers and areas with thinner skin, such as the forehead and temples. This effectively addresses fine lines and tightens the skin on the dermis.
At 3.0mm
The focus at 3.0mm transducers address the deep layers of the dermis, targeting the skin structure to stimulate collagen growth. Additionally, at this depth, it also targets fat.
At 4.5mm
The magic of lifting takes place at a depth of 4.5mm. Using the 4.5mm transducer, the physician can precisely target and treat the Subcutaneous Musculo-Aponeurotic System (SMAS) layer. The SMAS is a crucial fibrous network comprising muscle, collagen, and elastic fibres—the very layer targeted by plastic surgeons during a surgical facelift.

Oligio RF and Ultherapy use different technologies to achieve the common goal of skin tightening and lifting. Oligio RF employs monopolar RF, while Ultherapy utilises microfocused ultrasound waves. Monopolar RF generates bulk heating in the superficial skin layers at 1-2 mm depth, whereas focused ultrasound creates discrete thermal coagulation points at depths of 1.5 mm, 3 mm, and 4.5 mm.
In simple terms, Oligio RF targets the superficial skin layers, while Ultherapy reaches the middle and deeper layers. This makes Oligio RF more effective for skin tightening and Ultherapy more effective for face lifting. Combining both treatments is a common practice, as the Oligio RF and Ultherapy combo allows you to benefit from the strengths of both methods for synergistic results.

Results were definitely very apparent and fast
Very good service from Dr Bernard! He sat me down for a long, thorough consultation and explanation of not just the service I was interested in, but of other similar treatments just so I could make a better comparison and final decision, with no pressure into deciding anything on the spot as well. Tried Ultherapy and Pico Sure Laser treatments on two different occasions, and each time I felt very well taken care of. I’m scared of pain, but the team and Dr Bernard always knew how to minimize any pain and ensure I always felt good with his steady hands. Results were definitely very apparent and fast. ...read more read less
