The skin around the eyes is thinner and more sensitive compared to other areas of the face.

If you are considering an Eye Oligio procedure that delivers high-frequency energy to the eye area, it's important to understand the heat delivery method.

While the average thickness of facial skin is about 1.5mm to 2mm, the skin around the eyes is thinner, approximately 0.5mm.

In thinner skin areas, there is a risk that heat may concentrate on the surface when the same energy is applied.

Conversely, if the energy is too low, heat may not be sufficiently delivered to the dermal layer, making it difficult to achieve the expected results from the procedure.

Therefore, it is difficult to apply the same energy to the eye area as to other parts of the face during treatment. Adjusting the output considering the differences in skin thickness for each area must precede the treatment.

The area around the eyes has less fat and the bones and muscles are directly beneath the skin, allowing heat to dissipate easily.

The eye area, among all facial areas, particularly requires delicate control of thermal energy.

Due to these characteristics, a tip specifically for the eye area, namely the Eye Tip, has been developed.

Compared to general tips used on the body or jawline, the Eye Oligio Eye Tip has a smaller contact area, and its energy output range is also designed specifically for the eye area.

The small-sized tip can closely adhere to curved areas such as the eyelids, undereyes, and outer corners of the eyes, helping to deliver high-frequency energy uniformly.

During the procedure, how delicately and precisely the tip is moved is crucial.

If the tip stays in one place for too long, the heat sensation in that specific area may increase, and if it moves too quickly, sufficient energy accumulation may be difficult.

The area around the eyes often presents a combination of concerns such as eyelid sagging, dark circles, and fine wrinkles, making it necessary to adjust the tip's angle and movement speed according to the characteristics of each area.

This area can be more sensitive to pain compared to other facial areas, so it is common to apply anesthetic cream before proceeding with the treatment.

Considering these characteristics, Eye Oligio is performed either separately from a full-face Oligio treatment or additionally applied only to the eye area.

The number and frequency of treatments are also adjusted considering the individual characteristics of the eye area.

Typically, high-frequency lifting procedures are repeated at intervals of 4 to 6 weeks, and Eye Oligio also involves diagnosing the individual's skin condition to schedule treatments according to this cycle.

Even with a single treatment, you may feel an improvement in the eye area, but the point at which skin elasticity significantly changes through collagen regeneration usually appears several weeks later.

Immediately after the procedure, due to the nature of the area, slight redness or mild swelling may occur, but most subside naturally within 1 to 2 days.

In post-treatment care, sun protection and sufficient moisturizing of the skin around the eyes are particularly important.

On the day of the procedure, it is recommended to apply light eye makeup and avoid heat-generating environments such as high-temperature jjimjilbangs or saunas for about a day.

Many people wonder about wearing lenses or washing their face after an Eye Oligio procedure. Gentle, non-irritating facial cleansing is possible from the same day, but it is best to avoid wearing lenses for about a day to aid recovery around the eyes.

Makeup can be applied starting the day after the procedure, using products with minimal irritation. Makeup applied close to the eye mucosa, such as eyeliner or mascara, may benefit from being postponed for a few more days.

As such, the eye area is a region where various factors such as skin thickness, fat layer, and curvature interact, making tip selection and energy settings important considerations during an Eye Oligio procedure.

Our medical team designs treatment methods differently, taking these points into consideration.

Our Clinic's Grid Design Treatment Method

Before an Eye Oligio procedure, our medical team marks a grid pattern across the entire eye area in a seated position to plan the treatment sequence and scope.

Grid design clearly distinguishes between areas where the tip has been applied and those where it has not, helping to ensure that high-frequency energy is delivered uniformly without any missed sections.

Our medical team sets grid intervals differently according to the characteristics of each area, treating thinner areas like the eyelids separately from relatively thicker areas like the undereyes.

In a supine position, the eye area tissues may appear different from their actual state due to the effects of gravity. Therefore, our medical team performs the design in a seated position to confirm the actual direction of sagging and determine the treatment area.

Our medical team utilizes the Superpass Technique to increase the cumulative energy amount, thereby effectively delivering heat to the dermal layer during the procedure.

By repeatedly applying energy with overlapping passes rather than a single application, sufficient stimulation can be induced in the dermal layer even in thin areas like the eyes, while minimizing surface burden.

At our clinic, after the procedure, we complete a lifting card and review information such as the energy intensity applied on the day, the type of tip used, and the focused treatment areas, together with the patient.

Utilizing the lifting card allows us to refer to previous records during subsequent treatments to consistently adjust energy intensity and areas, which helps maintain the cumulative effects of the procedures.

Customized Eye Area Treatment Provided by Our Medical Team

From the Eye Oligio consultation stage, our medical team thoroughly assesses the skin thickness and degree of sagging around the eyes, and based on this, meticulously adjusts the tip output and grid intervals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Is Eye Oligio suitable even for a first-time treatment on the eye area?

A. Eye Oligio is performed using a dedicated eye tip, adjusting the contact area and energy output to suit the specific characteristics of the eye area. Therefore, it is designed to be suitable for treatment in the eye area, and it is recommended to consult with a specialist to determine if the procedure is appropriate for you personally.

Q. When can I expect to feel the effects of Oligio?

A. Immediately after Oligio treatment, you may feel a gentle tightening sensation. However, the true improvement in elasticity due to collagen regeneration usually appears gradually over several weeks.

Q. What is the recommended treatment cycle for Oligio?

A. The interval between Oligio treatments is generally considered to be between 4 and 6 weeks. It is best to consult with a specialist to determine the appropriate treatment cycle based on your skin condition and lifting goals.

Q. Does swelling last long after Oligio treatment?

A. Mild redness or slight swelling that may occur after Oligio treatment usually improves within 1-2 days. The recovery process can vary from person to person.

Q. Is Oligio effective for dark circles?

A. Oligio can deliver thermal energy to the dermal layer around the eyes, which may positively impact skin elasticity improvement. Since the causes of dark circles are diverse, it is advisable to confirm the possibility of improvement through a thorough consultation with a specialist.
