Oligio X for Skin Tightening
Non-Surgical Skin Tightening & Lifting in Singapore
Oligio X is a non‑surgical, monopolar radiofrequency (RF) treatment used to address concerns related to skin laxity and early signs of sagging in the face and neck. It delivers controlled RF energy into multiple layers of the skin to support collagen response and promote gradual improvement in firmness and texture.
What is Oligio X?
Oligio X is a radiofrequency‑based device designed for non‑invasive skin tightening and lifting. It uses a specific RF frequency to heat the deeper layers of the skin while protecting the surface, with the goal of promoting changes within the dermal structure.
Unlike some energy‑based devices that primarily focus on surface texture, Oligio X is engineered to reach deeper layers beneath the skin, supporting improvements in areas such as:
Sagging cheeks
Jawline definition
Early jowls
Neck laxity
Fine lines
Although it is commonly referred to as a skin‑tightening option, it is not a surgical procedure and does not involve incisions.
Key technological features of Oligio X
- Proprietary GXG treatment technology – a proprietary way of delivering energy in layered passes to different skin depths. G-mode (First pass) targets the energy at the superficial layer, followed by X-mode (second pass) to target the deeper skin layer. Lastly, treatment is finished off with another round of G-mode (third pass) to lock in the results.
- Deeper penetration: Energy can reach down to the muscle / SMAS layer, resulting in more lifting and contouring compared with the original Oligio RF device.
- Enhanced contact cooling– Up to 11 cryogen cooling sprays per RF shot, allowing higher energies with better comfort and skin protection.
- Approved as a medical device by major health regulatory agencies, including the US FDA, EU CE and Korean KFDA, signalling that the technology has passed regulatory safety and performance checks in those markets.
How Oligio X Works
Oligio X uses monopolar RF energy, which means energy is delivered from the handpiece into the skin and dispersed broadly in the deeper layers. The heat generated in the dermal and subdermal tissues is intended to:
Support collagen fibre changes
Provide an immediate tissue response through controlled thermal effect
Encourage gradual dermal restructuring over time
The device incorporates a cooling mechanism to help protect the skin’s surface while energy is delivered deeper below. Patients may feel warmth and a mild heating sensation during treatment.
Oligio X vs Oligio RF: What’s the Difference?
Technology & Depth
- Oligio RF
- Monopolar RF targeting mainly the dermis
- Effective for skin laxity, jowls, eyelid tightening and texture improvement
- Oligio X
- Enhanced monopolar RF with GXG dual-layer heating
- Energy can reach deeper structures (fat and SMAS) while also treating the superficial dermis
Lifting Power
Compared to Oligio RF, the Oligio X can create stronger lifting and contouring, particularly for:
- Heavier lower face and jawline
- More noticeable sagging around the mouth, marionette lines and double chin
Comfort & Downtime
- Both Oligio X and Oligio RF are non-invasive, comfortable, with zero downtime
- Oligio X’s cooling and pulse control is designed to:
- Reduce pain levels
- Allow higher energy settings safely
Number of shots of Oligio X vs Oligio RF
- Oligio X: 900 shots (single-use treatment tip for Face/Eye/Neck)
- Oligio RF: 600 shots (single-use treatment tip for Face/Eye/Neck)
Each Oligio X tip comes with 50% more shots than the Oligio RF tips- meaning the treatment time is increased by ~50%, but a single treatment tip can cover more areas (eg Face + Neck in 900 shots vs Face only with 600 shots)
Both devices can treat:
Full face (cheeks, jawline, nasolabial folds)
Neck and under-chin
Around the eyes
Typical Treatment Areas
Oligio X is commonly used in the following regions:
Full face (including cheeks and jawline)
Under‑chin and neck area
Around the eyes
Lower face contours
Each area can be addressed in a single treatment session, depending on individual needs and the treatment plan.
What to Expect After Treatment
Since Oligio X is non‑invasive, most individuals can return to normal activities immediately. Temporary effects may include:
Mild redness
Warmth
Slight tenderness
These usually settle within hours after treatment.
Over the following weeks, changes in firmness and texture may occur as the skin responds to the delivered energy.

FAQ
Yes, it can often be combined with skin boosters, lasers, or injectables to address multiple skin concerns. A consultation is needed to plan the safest sequence.
Oligio X uses monopolar RF to target both deep and superficial layers with controlled heat and cooling. Unlike HIFU, it doesn’t use ultrasound, and compared with Thermage, it may allow more precise energy layering for certain areas.
Many patients see improvement with a single session, but additional sessions can be planned for enhanced or long-term results depending on skin condition.
Oligio X is generally safe for most skin types, including darker skin tones, as it does not target pigment. Your doctor will confirm suitability during consultation.
Yes, Oligio X can be used around the eyes for mild lifting and improvement in skin texture, but results are subtle and gradual.
There are minimal restrictions. Patients can resume normal activities immediately, but sun protection and gentle skincare are recommended to maintain results.
Yes, because Oligio X works gradually to stimulate your skin’s own collagen, results typically enhance natural contours rather than creating dramatic or artificial changes.
The integrated cooling system helps protect the skin surface, improves comfort during treatment, and allows safe delivery of deeper energy.
Yes, it is suitable for mild neck laxity and under-chin areas to improve contour and firmness.
Treatments should be performed by a licensed medical doctor trained in Oligio X procedures to ensure safety and effectiveness.
