Oligio XM in Seoul — RF tightening for elasticity, density and texture
VOS Dermatology Clinic, Gangnam, Seoul (in front of Dosan Park) · Performed by Dr. Hongseok Kim, board-certified dermatologist · Consultations in English
RF tightening that builds elasticity, density and smoother texture
Overview
Oligio XM in Seoul is a radiofrequency (RF) skin-tightening treatment. It sends RF heat from the skin's surface down to the deep dermis to improve elasticity, density and texture, with the treatment depth set for each area and a cooling system that keeps heat and stinging down.
At VOS Dermatology in Gangnam, Dr. Hongseok Kim examines your skin first and decides between 300 and 600 shots, listed at ₩800,000 and ₩1,500,000. Since October 2026, Oligio XM has replaced Volnewmer on the clinic's price list at the same prices. Change builds gradually and varies from person to person.

What Oligio XM does in the skin
01RF Energy from the Surface to the Deep Dermis
Oligio XM is a radiofrequency (RF) treatment. RF energy applied to the skin turns into heat that travels from the surface layers down to the deep dermis, which helps improve elasticity, density and texture gradually.
02Depth Set for Each Area, with Cooling
Skin thickness differs across the face, so the treatment depth is planned area by area rather than using one setting everywhere. A cooling system protects the skin surface during each pulse, which helps keep heat and irritation down and makes the session easier to tolerate.
03Planned by Dr. Kim at VOS Dermatology Clinic
Dr. Hongseok Kim, a dermatologist with 21 years of experience, decides the number of shots (300 or 600) and where they go after examining your skin. Oligio XM can be used on its own or combined with a lifting treatment such as Ultherapy PRIME, because tightening the skin and lifting the deeper support layer are different goals.
Session, comfort, downtime, results
- Session time
- Depends on the shot count (300 or 600 shots)
- Comfort
- Warmth during treatment; cooling and area-by-area depth settings help reduce heat and irritation
- Downtime
- Discussed at your consultation; it depends on your skin and the shot count
- Results
- Elasticity, density and texture improve gradually; how much and for how long varies from person to person
- Tightening for elasticity, density and texture in one treatment
- Treatment depth adjusted for each area of the face
- Cooling system to reduce heat and irritation
- Shot count (300 or 600) chosen by Dr. Kim after examining your skin
Results, timing and recovery vary from person to person. Nothing here replaces an in-person consultation.
