Oligio vs HIFU What's the Right Choice?
A top question for anyone looking to lift their face without surgery is, between the two leading technologies, Oligio and HIFU, which one should I choose? Both devices deliver incredible results, but they have distinct features and working principles. Today, The Glam Clinic will compare them head-to-head to help you decide on the program that is “just right” for your skin concerns.
Getting to Know #TeamOligio: RF Energy for Tighter Skin & Fat Reduction
- How it works: Oligio uses Monopolar Radiofrequency (RF) to send a large, uniform wave of heat into the dermis and subcutaneous fat layers. Imagine placing a warm, soothing panel on the skin; the heat spreads out over a wide area.
- What it excels at:
- Fat Reduction: It’s highly effective for people with fuller cheeks, a double chin, or fat deposits along the jawline.
- Mid-Layer Collagen Stimulation: It results in an overall firmer, plumper appearance and tighter-looking pores.
Comfort: The treatment feels warm and comfortable, and the procedure time is relatively short.
Getting to Know #TeamHIFU: Ultrasound Energy for Precision Lifting
- How it works: HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound), like the Ultraformer device, uses ultrasound energy to create tiny, precise heat points in a linear array deep beneath the skin, reaching down to the SMAS layer—the same layer addressed in a surgical facelift.
- What it excels at:
- Lifting: It’s the ideal choice for individuals with skin laxity, sagging cheeks, and a poorly defined jawline.
Structural Lift: By targeting the SMAS layer, it’s like internally stitching the skin’s foundation, resulting in a visible lift of the entire facial structure.
Which One is Right for My Skin?
- Choose Oligio if: You have significant fat on your cheeks or under your chin and want a slimmer, more contoured face along with tighter skin.
- Choose HIFU if: You don’t have much fat but are concerned with age-related sagging and want to lift your facial structure back into place.
- The Ultimate Formula: For some patients seeking the most comprehensive results, our doctors may recommend combining both treatments to address both the fat layer and the deep structural layer simultaneously.
The best way forward is to have an expert physician at The Glam Clinic assess your skin condition to design a treatment plan that is perfectly suited for you and will deliver the best possible results.
