Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Oligio X and Classic Oligio?

Classic Oligio uses monopolar radiofrequency for skin tightening and collagen stimulation. Oligio X adds an upgraded treatment mode with enhanced energy delivery, improved cooling, and a wider treatment tip. X mode provides deeper penetration and more uniform heating, potentially improving results for moderate skin laxity.

How does Oligio compare to Thermage?

Both Oligio and Thermage use monopolar RF technology. Thermage has a longer track record and more clinical studies. Oligio offers competitive results at a similar or slightly lower price point. The treatment experience is comparable — both use cooling systems and deliver warm, pulsing sensations.

How many shots does Oligio use?

Oligio Classic typically uses 300-600 shots per treatment area. Oligio X uses similar shot counts but with enhanced energy per shot. A standard face treatment uses 300-400 shots. Face + neck uses 500-600 shots. Shot counts are tailored to the treatment area and severity of concern.

How much does Oligio cost in Bangkok?

At VERZO CLINIC, Oligio Classic ranges from 30,000-45,000 THB. Oligio X ranges from 35,000-55,000 THB. The X upgrade typically adds 5,000-10,000 THB to the classic price for enhanced treatment. Both options are approximately 40-50% less than equivalent RF treatments in Japan.

When should I choose Oligio X over Classic?

Choose X if: you have moderate skin laxity requiring deeper treatment, you have tried Classic before and want enhanced results, or your doctor recommends the upgraded protocol. Classic is sufficient for: mild laxity, maintenance treatments, and first-time RF device patients.

Can Oligio be combined with other devices?

Yes, Oligio combines well with Ulthera (deep SMAS lifting + surface RF tightening), thread lifts (mechanical lifting + RF collagen stimulation), and skin boosters like Profhilo or Juvelook (skin quality + tightening). Combination protocols are spaced 2-4 weeks apart.

Does Oligio hurt?

Oligio discomfort is mild to moderate, rated 3-4 out of 10 by most patients. The built-in cooling system provides comfort during treatment. Oligio X may feel slightly more intense due to deeper energy delivery. Numbing cream is applied before treatment.

How long do Oligio results last?

Oligio Classic results last approximately 12-18 months. Oligio X may provide slightly longer-lasting results due to deeper collagen stimulation. Some tightening is visible immediately. Full results develop over 2-4 months as new collagen forms.
