Oligo X by Wontech: Dual-Mode Monopolar RF Skin Tightening and Lifting in NYC
A Smart, High-Power RF Platform for Deep Lifting and Collagen Remodeling
Oligo X is an advanced monopolar radiofrequency (RF) device developed by Wontech, the South Korean medical technology company also known for the Pico Majesty picosecond laser. It is the next-generation evolution of Wontech’s widely used Oligio RF platform, building on that foundation with a higher power output, smarter energy delivery algorithms, and a dual-mode treatment system designed to address skin laxity and collagen loss at multiple tissue depths.
Oligo X delivers 400 watts of high-frequency monopolar RF energy at 6.78MHz, the same frequency used by other leading monopolar RF platforms. What distinguishes it is the integration of GXG dual-mode RF technology and the OSCA smart algorithm, which together allow energy to be directed precisely through both the dermis and deeper fat layers in a single, coordinated treatment session.
How Oligo X Works
Monopolar RF works by delivering radiofrequency energy through the skin using a single active electrode and a return pad placed elsewhere on the body. The energy creates a deep heating effect within the tissue, which triggers the body’s wound healing response and stimulates new collagen and elastin production in the dermis.
Oligo X refines this mechanism with its GXG dual-mode architecture, which sequences two distinct treatment modes within each session. G mode delivers broad-coverage superficial heating across the upper dermis. X mode focuses energy more deeply into the dermis and subcutaneous fat tissue. These modes are applied alternately and reinforced to form a continuous thermal pathway from the surface down through deeper layers, creating a three-dimensional lifting and tightening effect that single-mode RF devices cannot replicate.
The OSCA smart algorithm monitors and adjusts energy delivery in real time throughout treatment, helping to ensure consistent, stable output regardless of variations in tissue contact or impedance. This reduces the risk of energy spikes or uneven heat distribution and supports a more controlled, comfortable treatment experience.
What Oligo X Can Treat
Oligo X is primarily indicated for skin laxity and loss of firmness on the face and body.
On the face, it addresses sagging in the midface and lower face, jowling, jawline softening, and laxity in the neck and submental area. The deep heating effect helps restore structure and firmness in tissue that has lost collagen over time.
For the body, Oligo X can address skin laxity on the abdomen, arms, thighs, and other areas where tissue firmness and elasticity have diminished. The high power output and dual-mode depth coverage make it effective for body applications where deeper tissue penetration is needed.
Benefits of Oligo X
- 400W high-power monopolar RF for deep, effective thermal stimulation
- GXG dual-mode technology addresses superficial dermis and deep fat layers in one session
- OSCA smart algorithm provides real-time energy monitoring and adjustment for consistent delivery
- Three-dimensional lifting effect from layered superficial and deep heating
- No downtime, with most patients returning to normal activities immediately
- Comfortable treatment experience due to integrated real-time cooling
- Effective for both face and body laxity
Ideal Candidates for Oligo X
Oligo X is well suited for patients experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity on the face, neck, or body who want a non-surgical lifting and tightening option without needles or recovery time.
It is particularly relevant for patients who have already noticed a softening of the jawline, early jowling, or loss of firmness in the lower face and neck. Patients who are not yet ready for surgical intervention but want meaningful structural improvement are often good candidates for RF-based treatment.
As with any energy-based treatment, patients with pacemakers, cochlear implants, or certain other metal implants are not appropriate candidates. A consultation with a board-certified dermatologist is the right starting point to assess candidacy and determine whether Oligo X or another modality is the best fit.
What to Expect During Treatment
Before treatment begins, a return pad is attached to the lower back and connected to the device. A protective fluid is applied to the treatment area throughout the session, which helps maintain consistent skin contact and comfort during energy delivery.
Most patients describe a warm sensation during treatment, with some mild tingling. The OSCA algorithm and real-time cooling work together to keep the experience comfortable. No topical numbing is typically required.
Session length varies depending on the area being treated, generally ranging from 30 to 60 minutes.
Results and Recovery
There is no downtime following Oligo X treatment. Mild redness or warmth in the treated area is normal and typically resolves within a few hours. Patients can apply makeup and return to their normal routine the same day.
Results develop gradually as new collagen forms in the treated tissue. Some patients notice an immediate tightening effect following treatment due to acute thermal contraction of collagen fibers. Longer-term improvement in firmness and skin quality continues to develop over the following weeks and months.
For optimal results, a series of sessions is typically recommended, with maintenance treatments at regular intervals to sustain collagen levels over time.
Oligo X Within the Wontech Portfolio
Oligo X sits within a broader portfolio of Wontech devices that spans RF, HIFU, and picosecond laser technology. For patients interested in a multi-modality approach to skin rejuvenation, RF tightening with Oligo X pairs naturally with picosecond laser treatments like the Pico Majesty for pigmentation and skin quality, addressing both structural laxity and surface-level tone and texture as complementary components of a comprehensive plan.
