Is the reason why Oligio results vary from one dermatology clinic to another precisely because of the grid design? Beomgye, Pyeongchon, Beomgye Station, Pyeongchon Station, Hogye-dong, Bisan-dong, Gwanyang-dong, Dongan-gu, Indeogwon, Geumjeong, Anyang

The Real Reason Why Oligio Treatment Results Differ at Each Clinic

Among those who have experienced Oligio treatment, many wonder 'why the effects differ despite using the same device'.

Oligio is a lifting procedure that uniformly delivers monopolar RF (radiofrequency) energy to the dermal and subcutaneous layers of the skin, inducing collagen denaturation and regeneration.

The principle of the device itself is the same everywhere. However, the reason why there are variations in results even with the same device is clear: it's the presence or absence of grid design before the procedure.

What is Grid Design?

Grid design is the process of setting the treatment areas by directly drawing the grid pattern of the tip onto the skin surface while the patient is in a seated position, before the Oligio procedure.

By marking the grid pattern on the skin as if printing, the practitioner can visually confirm which areas have already received energy and which areas remain, allowing for precise treatment.

The difference becomes clear when considering cases without grid design. If the tip is slid spontaneously while the patient is lying down, areas where energy is redundantly delivered can occur on the same spot, and conversely, areas that receive no energy at all can also arise.

Redundant areas carry the risk of overstimulation, while missed areas do not receive the intended effect. This is why results may feel uneven across different areas after the procedure.

Why Seated Design is Important

There's also a reason why grid design must be performed while seated.

Skin position changes depending on posture. When lying down, cheek fat spreads sideways; when seated, it sags in the direction of gravity. By designing the grid in the actual everyday posture influenced by gravity, energy can precisely reach sagging areas, and areas at risk of cheek hollowing can be avoided.

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic operates with a standard protocol of performing the tip grid pattern design in a seated position before Oligio treatment. This step is never omitted.

Accumulated Heat Delivery with SuperPass Technique

Once the treatment areas are determined by grid design, Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic applies the SuperPass technique.

The SuperPass technique does not conclude energy delivery in a single pass per area; instead, it involves passing through the set path multiple times to increase the accumulated heat transfer. Because a grid is established, it's possible to repeatedly treat the designated areas without redundancy or omission.

Applying SuperPass without a grid makes it impossible to track how many times an area has been treated. This is why grid design must be established first for the SuperPass technique to be meaningful.

At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, grid design and the SuperPass technique are used together to ensure that RF energy is delivered evenly and sufficiently across the entire face.

After the procedure, Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic creates and shares a lifting card with the patient. It records the treated areas, irradiation intensity, and concentrated target zones, allowing for continued treatment with the same standards during subsequent visits. This ensures seamless and consistent care, regardless of which branch is visited.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Is the reason for differing Oligio treatment effects at each clinic truly due to grid design?

A. The core reason for variations in results even when using the same Oligio device at different clinics is the presence or absence of grid design. If performed with spontaneous sliding without a grid, redundant and missed areas occur simultaneously, leading to uneven heat distribution. Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic always performs grid design as a standard pre-procedure step.

Q. Does designing while seated actually affect the results?

A. The impact is significant. Since skin position changes between lying and sitting postures, setting the grid in a seated position, which reflects actual gravitational forces, ensures accurate targeting. This is why it's important to check whether seated design is performed when choosing an Oligio clinic.

Q. Is the SuperPass technique performed at all clinics?

A. While the SuperPass technique itself is a known method, applying it without a grid design makes accurate management of redundant passes difficult. Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic first establishes a grid design and then applies SuperPass to enhance the efficiency of accumulated heat transfer.
