Oligio

How it works

Oligio, from Wontech, is a monopolar radiofrequency unit operating at 6.78 MHz. Radiofrequency current meets resistance in the tissue and produces heat in the dermis and deeper layers, which is intended to tighten collagen and prompt gradual remodeling. As with other monopolar systems, energy is delivered through a handpiece passed over the skin in a mapped pattern, and settings are adjusted to the area and the person's tolerance.

Good to know

• Listed as monopolar RF at 6.78 MHz.
• It is discussed for general laxity and a tired, loosened look in the lower face and neck.
• Frequency, tip and operator technique determine how deep and how hot the treatment feels.
• Mild redness is possible afterward; the degree of tightening varies by person.

Where Oligio sits among similar devices

Oligio sits in the middle of a crowded group of monopolar RF devices. Several operate at the same 6.78 MHz frequency, so the practical differences are less about what the energy is and more about delivery: handpiece design, cooling and how the operator builds up heat across passes.

Compared with a multi-frequency unit, it is a single-frequency option, which may be simpler to describe but offers less variation in depth. Compared with focused ultrasound, it warms continuously rather than in points. Readers with a combination of looseness and uneven texture may find RF a closer match than ultrasound alone.
