Hello, this is MeSO Medspa. Today, let’s talk about the difference between HIFU, the ultrasound lifting treatment, and RF, the radiofrequency lifting treatment — their unique features and how each can transform your skin. Lost firmness in my face… As we age or neglect skincare, we often feel like our facial firmness has declined. On top of that, you may notice deepening nasolabial folds and sagging facial lines in the mirror, which is usually when people start looking up lifting treatments. But the world of lifting treatments can feel overwhelming with so many options. In fact, they can be broadly categorized into two types depending on the energy used: Ultrasound (HIFU) and Radiofrequency (RF) . HIFU, what is ultrasound lifting? HIFU uses high-intensity ultrasound to deliver energy deep into the skin, reaching the SMAS layer (the fascia). Simply put, it works like a magnifying glass focusing sunlight onto one spot to ignite fire. At MeSO, our Micro Lifting treatment works on this principle. The ultrasound energy generates high heat (42–45℃) deep within the skin, causing collagen contraction and fat cell apoptosis, which helps reduce sagging tissue. Then what are the mechanisms and effects? First, the heat restructures collagen. As the skin attempts to repair the “damage,” new collagen production is stimulated. Second, it triggers apoptosis (programmed cell death) of fat cells, reducing excess fat in areas like sagging cheeks or double chin. That’s why HIFU is ideal for facial contour lifting — for those who want a defined V-line, to tighten sagging cheeks, or to smooth out fine lines around the eyes and jawline. Then what is RF, radiofrequency lifting? RF uses radiofrequency energy to gently deliver heat into the skin via electrical currents. It feels like placing a warm compress on your skin, creating a soothing warmth from within. At MeSO, our Oligio X operates on this principle. RF energy evenly penetrates the dermis, producing heat between 40–55℃. Around 45℃, abundant type 1 and type 3 collagen are generated. Mechanism and effects of RF lifting? The heat contracts existing collagen fibers while activating fibroblasts, inducing new collagen production. At the same time, it stimulates hyaluronic acid synthesis, which makes the skin plumper, firmer, and more hydrated. This makes RF ideal for those with overall loss of elasticity, rough skin texture, or enlarged pores. In particular, for patients with little facial fat or thin, sensitive skin, treatments like Oligio X are recommended. Since RF is gentle and safe for delicate skin, more and more people are seeking it out. Patients often report that RF makes their skin feel smoother in texture with noticeable elasticity from deep within. HIFU vs. RF, which treatment is right for me? If you need facial contour lifting or want to tighten sagging lines → HIFU (e.g., Micro Lifting). If your goal is overall elasticity and texture improvement, or if your skin is thin and sensitive → RF (e.g., Oligio X). One important note! HIFU and RF work even better when combined. For example, HIFU sharpens facial contours while RF smooths skin texture, doubling the effect. Since they target different skin layers, combining both treatments often brings higher satisfaction. Rather than asking which treatment is better, the key is choosing the right one based on your skin type and concerns — or combining both for maximum effect. At MeSO, we provide thorough skin assessments and personalized lifting solutions, so feel free to visit us for a consultation anytime.

Hello, this is MeSO MedSpa. Recently, we’ve received a lot of positive feedback and an increase in inquiries about Oligio X, so we’ve organized a Q&A to address the most common questions. For those who are unfamiliar with Oligio X, we’re here to explain it in detail! 1. Who should consider Oligio X? Do you worry about fine lines, enlarged pores, or dull skin when you look in the mirror? Oligio X could be the solution. With consistent treatments, Oligio X helps regenerate collagen in your skin, leading to an upgraded skin condition that lasts. In simple terms, Oligio X is a treatment that delays aging. It’s ideal for those concerned about thinning, sagging skin, or increased wrinkles around the mouth, or for anyone who wants to maintain firm and tight skin. The radiofrequency energy in Oligio X helps regenerate skin cells, promoting continuous elasticity and firmness over time. 2. When will I start seeing the effects? Monopolar RF Lifting The tightening effect from the strong heat energy used in Oligio X appears quickly — either immediately or within a few days — as collagen and fibers contract. However, collagen regeneration, which tightens the skin and improves fine lines, takes at least 4 weeks to show noticeable results. Over time, the effects continue to improve, with collagen remodeling gradually becoming more visible. In summary, Oligio X provides both immediate results and long-term, gradual benefits from collagen regeneration over the course of several months. 3. Is there any downtime after the treatment? One of the advantages of Oligio X and other radiofrequency lifting treatments is that there is no downtime. However, depending on your skin condition or if you’ve received other ultrasound lifting treatments, you might experience mild swelling, which usually subsides within a few days. The swelling is not severe and won’t interfere with your daily activities, so you can comfortably schedule the treatment without any restrictions. 4. How often should I get the treatment? For Oligio X, we recommend a treatment cycle of 6 months to 1 year with 600 shots. While it’s beneficial to receive treatments more frequently within 6 months, doing so too often might reduce efficiency. Typically, 6 months to 1 year between treatments is ideal. If you have an important event or wish to maintain the effects for a longer period, we recommend adding a 300-shot boost in between treatments. For those looking for lighter maintenance, 300 shots are also recommended. 5. Can I still get Oligio X if I don’t have much fat on my face? Oligio X is designed to rejuvenate the skin overall, making it effective for everyone, regardless of how much fat is on their face. Many people worry that the treatment might make their face look thinner, especially if they don’t have much fat to begin with. However, the heat energy from the radiofrequency only targets the skin and the fibrous tissue surrounding the fat, not the fat itself. So, you don’t need to worry about losing volume in your face. While the skin may tighten and appear slightly more defined, you won’t experience the hollowed-out or slimmer look that some fear. Whether you have a fuller face or not, Oligio X provides overall anti-aging benefits for everyone. 6. Is it more effective if combined with ultrasound lifting? Both ultrasound lifting and radiofrequency lifting use heat to produce effects, so combining them can create a synergistic effect. In fact, MeSO offers an all-in-one lifting package that includes both ultrasound and radiofrequency. Because ultrasound and radiofrequency can each provide benefits that the other can’t, they complement each other well. Depending on your skin type and the amount of facial fat, one lifting treatment might be more suitable, so we recommend having a consultation to ensure you’re receiving the most effective treatment. Oligio X is a radiofrequency lifting treatment that regenerates collagen deep within the skin, helping you achieve and maintain firm, youthful skin. Over time, your skin will gradually become firmer, and the anti-aging benefits will continue to develop. If you want to maintain your natural, youthful appearance, starting Oligio X treatment now will help you protect your skin’s long-term health.

For Those Getting MeSO Tox on Their Forehead or Between the Eyebrows, Please Read This Carefully at MeSO Medspa Hello, this is MeSO MedSpa. MeSO Tox is commonly used to improve wrinkles, and the main areas for this procedure include the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes. MeSO Tox for the eyes is often used to address the softening of eye smiles. While this is usually a safe and hassle-free treatment, there are occasional cases where some people feel concerned about it. However, for forehead and brow MeSO Tox, especially for individuals in their 40s, many people experience discomfort after the procedure. As a result, some may avoid starting treatment altogether, or after having an uncomfortable experience, they may stop getting treatments altogether. For this reason, MeSO MedSpa invests the most care during consultations and treatments for the forehead and brow areas. Let’s take a look at the possible discomforts that can occur after MeSO Tox for the forehead and between the eyebrows and explain why these happen at MeSO MedSpa. Muscles that create forehead and eyebrow wrinkles Forehead wrinkles are caused by the frontalis muscle, which covers the forehead. When it contracts, it pulls the forehead and eyebrows upwards, creating horizontal wrinkles. Between the eyebrows, two muscles are involved in the formation of horizontal and vertical wrinkles. The vertical wrinkles between the brows are caused by the contraction of the corrugator supercilii muscle, which causes the skin between the brows to fold in a left-right direction. The horizontal wrinkles (also known as nose bridge wrinkles) are caused by the contraction of the procerus muscle, which pulls the skin downward, creating a horizontal fold. At MeSO MedSpa, we take a detailed approach to ensure that all factors influencing these muscles are considered during the consultation and treatment planning. Possible discomfort after forehead T ox The most common discomfort after forehead Tox is a feeling of heaviness in the eyes and drooping eyebrows (eyebrow ptosis). Forehead Tox works by restricting the movement of the frontalis muscle, which is responsible for lifting the eyebrows. For people who habitually lift their eyebrows (even unconsciously) or do so frequently while expressing themselves, or those who have upper eyelid sagging and rely on lifting their eyebrows to clear their field of vision, forehead Tox may not be suitable. This can lead to a feeling of heaviness in the eyes, and in more severe cases, the lack of support from the frontalis muscle can cause the eyebrows to droop, making the upper eyelids look swollen and hiding the eyelid folds. (It’s not actually swelling, but the drooping eyebrows make it look thicker.) This is the most common side effect after forehead Tox, and prevention largely depends on thorough consultation. It’s important to discuss whether forehead MeSO Tox is appropriate, how much discomfort to expect, and how to balance effectiveness with comfort during the procedure at MeSO MedSpa. We believe that the success of a forehead MeSO Tox treatment largely depends on proper consultation at MeSO MedSpa. Once the decision to proceed with the treatment is made, the doctor at MeSO MedSpa must carefully adjust the MeSO Tox dosage, placement, and technique to find a balance between effectiveness and discomfort. Possible discomfort after brow Tox The discomfort that can occur after brow Tox is often unrelated to the muscles targeted by the procedure (procerus and corrugator supercilii). Common discomforts include the “Samurai eyebrow” (angry bird look) and similar issues to those seen with forehead Tox, such as eye heaviness and eyebrow drooping. The “Samurai eyebrow” refers to the outward lifting of the outer part of the eyebrows, creating a harsh appearance. This happens because the corrugator supercilii muscle is located below part of the frontalis muscle, and when MeSO Tox is injected into the corrugator, it can spread into the frontalis muscle, weakening the lifting effect of the inner eyebrows and causing the outer eyebrows to lift more. For similar reasons, injecting MeSO Tox into the outer part of the corrugator muscle and near the frontalis muscle can cause similar side effects to those seen with forehead MeSO Tox. To prevent this, just as with forehead MeSO Tox, it’s important to predict potential side effects during the consultation at MeSO MedSpa and to know how the procedure will be performed. The technique used for brow MeSO Tox is crucial to avoiding these issues at MeSO MedSpa. Finally, at MeSO MedSpa, we use MarkView to accurately diagnose each customer’s skin condition and needs.
