Achieve dramatic anti-aging results by lifting and tightening skin with this revolutionary treatment.
What is Oligio Skin Tightening?
Oligio is a non-invasive lifting and tightening skin treatment. It uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to transfer heat to the dermis, triggering new collagen production and tightening the skin’s support structure. This non-surgical alternative to surgical lifts can address skin laxity, fine lines and wrinkles, and uneven skin tone. Oligio provides smoother, firmer skin in areas such as the cheeks, around the eyes, and lower face. At Awaken Aesthetics, we offer this treatment for almost anyone interested in looking brighter and more youthful.
How Does Oligio Work?
Oligio uses RF energy to lift your skin and trigger collagen production. It uses specialized handpieces that precisely transfer this energy into the deeper layers of the skin. The cells in the dermis produce collagen, a structural protein that gives your skin firmness and flexibility. The RF energy from Oligio signals these cells to increase their collagen production. It also firms and smooths the skin to improve concerns such as enlarged pores and acne scars.
During Oligio, the handpiece emits a pulse of energy to each area of the skin before moving to the next one. Your provider can choose different handpieces to control the size of the treated area. These applicators even allow treatment around the delicate eye area to treat hooded, tired-looking eyes. Oligio can be customized to maintain your comfort in different areas of the face. While the applicator heats the skin, Oligio uses cooling technology to maintain your skin’s comfort and safety.
Who is a Good Candidate for Oligio RF Treatment?
Almost anyone makes a good candidate for Oligio. Unlike many lasers, RF energy works safely on all skin tones. Ideal Oligio candidates have mild skin laxity, uneven skin tone, lines, wrinkles, or other signs of aging. Non-invasive Oligio has lower risks than treatments that injure the skin’s surface. You should not have Oligio if you have any electronic medical device that would be affected by RF energy. You may also not be a good candidate if you are pregnant or have an infection in the treatment area.
What to Expect During an Oligio Treatment
Your Oligio treatment begins with a clear oil applied to your skin. This oil helps the applicator make contact with the skin. Your provider presses the applicator against your skin, emitting a pulse of RF energy before moving to the next area. Oligio’s cooling technology works before, during, and after the energy pulse. As a result, most people feel tingling and heat but minimal to no discomfort.
Treatment usually takes 45 minutes to an hour. Your provider may use multiple applicators or change the settings when treating sensitive areas. They will focus their attention on your areas of particular concern. Afterward, your provider cleans the skin and applies a calming moisturizer. They will also apply sun protection since Oligio can temporarily make your skin more sun-sensitive.
What Results Will I See With Oligio?
Many people see results after a single Oligio treatment. You may need more than one, or your provider may recommend a combination of treatments for maximum results. You may see smoother, more even skin within a few days of treatment. Your lifting and tightening will start developing after several weeks. Your increased collagen production continues for three months or more. Many people benefit from occasional maintenance treatments to keep their firmer, more youthful results, although how often you need one depends on your body’s response to treatment.
Is There Any Downtime With Oligio?
Non-invasive Oligio requires no downtime. You can return to your usual activities immediately. However, your skin may look red and slightly swollen for a few hours to days after treatment. Consistent sun protection will keep UV rays from damaging your developing collagen. Avoid harsh products or scrubs on your skin for a day or two after treatment to prevent irritation.
