This is a guide to TuneFace compiled by Dr. Choi Byeong-geun of SHINE U Clinic Konkuk (3 minutes walk from Konkuk Univ. Station Exit 1).
Concerns about loss of elasticity and a sagging jawline often cannot be explained by a single cause. For this reason, more and more people are trying to combine two different devices with different mechanisms of action, rather than approaching it with just one device. Let's take a closer look at how the combination of TuneFace and InMode Former, commonly referred to as 'TuneFormer', works, what you can expect, and what you cannot expect.
How do TuneFace and InMode's radiofrequency methods differ?
Both devices use radiofrequency (RF) energy, but the delivery methods are different.
| Category | TuneFace | InMode Former |
|---|---|---|
| Method | Unipolar radiofrequency | Bipolar radiofrequency |
| Principle of action | Generates thermal energy by rotating water molecules | Heat transfer as current flows between positive and negative electrodes |
| Main expectation | Induces collagen production, skin contraction | Dermal elasticity enhancement, contouring |
TuneFace works by rotating water molecules in the skin to generate heat, which then contracts the skin and induces collagen production.
InMode Former's HVP technology
What distinguishes InMode Former from other radiofrequency treatments is a technology called HVP. HVP stands for High Voltage Pulse. Since electrical stimulation is delivered along with radiofrequency energy, it is easy to apply to areas with a lot of fat, such as a double chin or jowls.
While you may feel a change with a single treatment, it is good to know in advance that receiving it consistently about 3 times at monthly intervals helps maintain the results.
What to expect when receiving both treatments
- It can be combined to strengthen dermal elasticity while reducing pain.
- InMode Former complements the contouring that TuneFace alone may not fully achieve.
- Overall elasticity, double chin, and cheek fat reduction can be approached together in the same session.
However, results may vary from person to person, and due to the nature of InMode Former, some bruising may occur, but it usually subsides within a few days.
Consultation for elasticity and jawline concerns, which combination is right for you?
When considering TuneLiner together
Depending on the skin condition, TuneLiner and InMode may also be combined. TuneLiner also aims to manage fat cells, but its principle is different. It uses 3D volumetric ultrasound to deliver both ultrasound energy and physical energy, and the fat cells thus organized are naturally discharged through the lymph.
How to combine is key
If you have a lot of fat cells or are concerned about a dull jawline due to excess fat, you can consider a complex approach such as TuneLiner or TuneFormer. Ultimately, the quality of the results varies depending on how you combine them to suit your skin, so it's best to check whether a single treatment or a combination is right for you first.
To find the exact combination that suits your face type and concerns, a direct examination is necessary. If you have any questions, please inquire via chat consultation. In addition to TuneFace, InMode Former or TuneLiner may be recommended, and consultation with Dr. Choi Byeong-geun is advised before making a decision.
