Thermage vs. Oligio: A Lifting Decision Guide Comparing Effectiveness, Duration, and Cost
When considering a facelift, the first question that comes to mind is, "Is Thermage better? Is Olligio enough?"
The two procedures are Although the principles are similar, the difference in the 'cooling system' is the key factor that differentiates the actual perceived effect and maintenance period. So, your choice may vary depending on your individual circumstances.
The two procedures have the same basic principles, but The difference in cooling systems is the key criterion that determines the 'effect intensity and duration'. no see. It is best to choose the one that best suits you depending on your budget, skin condition, and desired lifting sensation (strong/gentle). |
1) Why should we compare the two procedures?
-
There is a big price difference, but The annual cost is similar to what you think do.
-
The principle is similar, but There is a difference in energy transfer ability .
-
Depending on the maintenance period, number of shots, and repetition cycle Who suits me better? Change.
2) The basic principles are almost the same
Both devices transmit monopolar RF (radio frequency) in a contact-free manner.
-
RF energy creates heat within the skin
-
With that heat Collagen denatures and contracts → density increases during the regeneration process
Up to this point, the two procedures are almost identical.
3) Key difference: “Cooling system”
Because lifting equipment generates a lot of heat, Cooling device is required.
however,
-
Oligo : Cooling is more intense
-
Thermage : Heat transfer is maintained at a higher level
As a result, Thermage delivers a higher intensity effect even though the principle is the same. You will be able to do it.
Many specialists The effect of Oligio is about 70% of that of Thermage. The reasons for evaluating it are also explained here.
4) Comparison of maintenance period and treatment interval
Maintenance period
-
Thermage : The maintenance period is longer, so it is recommended to use it once a year.
-
Oligo : The maintenance period is shorter, so repeated treatments are the basic assumption.
Recommended spacing
-
Oligio 300 shots : Approximately 3 times per month
-
Oligo 600 shots : 2-3 times a year
-
Thermage : Once a year
Effect flow
-
Thermage Both peak effect and duration are longer.
-
But Oligio 2-3 treatments at 6-month intervals underneath
In some areas, the perceived effect may be greater than that of Thermage.
in other words,
-
Strong effect + long lasting → Thermage
-
If you want to receive it often but gently → Oligo
5) Price comparison: The difference is smaller than expected when looking at a one-year basis.
-
If you just look at the price per synagogue Thermage is much more expensive
-
But the maintenance period is long Once a year is enough
-
Oligozio has a short maintenance period Naturally recommended 2-3 times a year
conclusion: If you calculate it on a yearly basis, “the price difference is not that big.”
6) Which treatment is right for which person?
✔ Thermage recommended case
-
When you want a stronger effect
-
If you only want to receive it once a year
-
When considering the maintenance period
✔ Recommended case by Oligio
-
If you have a large budget and want to try it out for a light 'one-time experience'
-
If the sagging is not as severe as in your early 20s
-
If you want to feel the gentle effect periodically
7) Things to consider when deciding on a lifting procedure
-
There is no absolute answer, Skin thickness, elasticity, and target effects Depends on
-
Even with the same equipment, the experience may vary depending on the doctor's method, number of shots, and intensity.
-
Before making the final selection, It is important to receive consultation based on your current skin condition.
