Which is better: Oligio or Ultraformer for facial skin lifting and tightening?

Sagging cheeks, or a drooping face, can occur due to several reasons such as genetics, aging, and sun exposure. These factors lead to a decrease in collagen and elastin under the skin, causing the facial structure to collapse. Currently, there are many effective skin-tightening techniques available to make the face firmer. Oligio and Ultraformer are popular techniques today, but which one is the most suitable and worthwhile choice? This article has the answer.

What is Oligio?

Oligio is a facial lifting and fat reduction device for cheeks and double chin. It also helps boost collagen and elastin production by utilizing high-energy radiofrequency (RF) with monopolar RF technology. This generates deep heating from the uppermost skin layer down to the fat layer, stimulating collagen production to tighten skin and reduce fat.

The highlights of Oligio are:

  • There is an overheat warning system to prevent skin burns during use.
  • The waves reach the upper skin layers down to the fat layer.
  • It doesn't hurt during use.
  • Takes only 20-30 minutes. No recovery time needed after treatment. You can apply makeup immediately after treatment.
  • The system uses cryogenic gas for cooling, reducing skin irritation.
  • It stimulates collagen production and is good for reducing fat.
  • To tighten your face, make it firm, smooth, and a smaller, more sculpted shape.
  • Effectively reduces excess fat in the cheeks and double chin.

Oligio is suitable for anyone who wants to improve skin elasticity, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and achieve a more radiant complexion. It is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing: * Loss of skin elasticity and sagging * Fine lines and wrinkles * Dull or uneven skin tone * Acne scars or enlarged pores * Those seeking a non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment It is generally safe for all skin types and can be a good option for those looking for subtle yet noticeable improvements in their skin. However, it is always recommended to consult with a qualified dermatologist or skincare professional to determine if Oligio is the right treatment for your specific needs and skin condition.

  • People who have a lot of double chin and sagging cheeks and want a well-defined jawline.
  • Someone with wrinkles, nasolabial folds, and sagging skin
  • Those who want to lift the outer corners of the eyes in areas with a lot of under-eye fat
  • Those who want to stimulate collagen for brighter skin
  • Those who want to tighten their face but are afraid of pain
  • Those who need service with limited time and do not want it to take long.

What are the disadvantages and side effects of Oligio?

Oligio treatments have a low chance of side effects. Most commonly, there may be temporary pinkish redness of the skin, which resolves on its own within 24 hours after the service. The results from one Oligio treatment can last for 6-8 months. Regular follow-up treatments are recommended for optimal results.

Ultraformer is a non-invasive facial rejuvenation treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin.

Ultraformer is an innovative facial lifting and firming treatment using high-intensity focused ultrasound.High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) can deliver energy waves deep beneath the skin to the SMAS layer, which is the surgical layer for facelifts. It can reduce facial fat, stimulate collagen for plumper, firmer skin, and deliver energy in focused dots to desired areas.

What are the highlights of Ultraformer?

  • Helps firm up facial skin and sagging skin.
  • It can deliver energy well to the inner skin layer.
  • Deliver energy precisely. Shoot with MMFU (Micro Focused Ultrasound) energy.
  • Does not damage the surface structure in each layer that the wave passes through
  • See results immediately after, 20-25%
  • High security

Who is Ultraformer suitable for?

  • I have sagging skin on my face and neck.
  • Those with droopy eyebrows, sagging eyelids, loose lower eyelids, and a double chin.
  • People with sagging cheeks, deep nasolabial folds, and downturned mouth corners
  • Those who want to reshape their face into a V-shape without surgery
  • Those who want to tone their abdominal area, upper arms, belly, thighs, and excess skin around the knees.

What are the disadvantages and side effects of Ultraformer?

  • You may feel slight pain, tightness, or discomfort during the procedure. Numbing cream will be applied beforehand to alleviate these sensations.
  • If you choose a non-standard clinic that uses counterfeit equipment, causing inconsistent energy levels, it can result in burns to the skin. Therefore, you should choose a standard clinic, have procedures performed by a doctor, and check reviews before making a decision.
  • To make the results last, repeat regularly to make the results last longer.

What's the difference between Oligio and Ultraformer? Which one should I choose?

Oligio and Ultraformer both have the ability to lift and firm the face, as well as reduce subcutaneous fat. The difference lies in the energy delivered to the skin. Oligio is less painful than Ultraformer, but its energy can only reach the shallower fat layer, making it suitable for those with a lot of submental fat or excess fat in the cheeks, who want to reduce fat in the cheek area. Ultraformer, on the other hand, is more suitable for those with significant skin sagging. Ultraformer is considered a good option for those who primarily want to tighten the skin.

How do Oligio and Thermage differ? Which one should I choose?

Oligio and Thermage devices both use Monopolar RF waves, but they have the following differences:

  • Oligio has a cooling system that is ideal for those who are more afraid of pain.
    The cryogen gas released by the Oligio machine helps to cool the skin surface being treated, preventing pain and burns. Thermage, on the other hand, has a cooling system that can slightly reduce the sensation of burning, but its ability to alleviate pain and burning is not as effective as Oligio.
  • Oligio treatments take approximately 20-30 minutes, which is less than Thermage treatments that take about 45-60 minutes. Therefore, Oligio is suitable for those who are in a hurry, have limited time, and want a shorter procedure.
  • Oligio has 3 adjustable modes: single mode, dual mode, and automatic mode. It can adapt well to individual skin types and offers better energy distribution.

How do Ultraformer and Ulthera differ? Which one should I choose?

Ultraformer and Ulthera are both devices that use ultrasound waves, but they have different focal points. The Ultraformer device has a Cherry Pink (MMFU) cartridge at a depth of 2 mm, which targets the dermal layer and is suitable for individuals seeking skin tightening and wrinkle reduction for a firmer appearance. It also has a Gold cartridge at a depth of 6 mm, ideal for those with excess fat in the jowls who want to tighten the area and achieve a slimmer face. The Ulthera device, on the other hand, uses cartridges of 1.5 mm, 3 mm, and 4.5 mm. These are suitable for areas with thinner skin, such as the forehead and eyelids. They are recommended for individuals who want to lift and tighten the skin around the eyebrows and the outer corners of the eyes, as well as those with issues like under-eye bags, hollows under the eyes, or sagging under the eyes, resulting in a more lifted and youthful appearance. Additionally, Ulthera features a real-time skin layer display, allowing physicians to perform skin lifting with greater precision and accuracy.

Summary

In summary, both Oligio and Ultraformer have similar properties. Oligio is suitable for those who want to reduce fat and a double chin, while Ultraformer is suitable for those with sagging cheeks and loose skin who want to lift and firm their face. If you are unsure about your skin concerns or cannot decide, we recommend consulting a doctor for a skin analysis and to choose the most appropriate treatment for the most satisfactory results.
