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).
I believe that lifting is more than just pulling up the skin; it is a delicate procedure that must consider an individual's facial structure and degree of aging. This is because bone structure, fat distribution, and muscle position differ from person to person, and a uniform method can lead to unnatural results. I received TuneFace after searching for a method that suited my own face.
Background of Decreased Elasticity
Among the various changes of aging, the most noticeable is the decrease in elasticity. As collagen and elastin decrease, the skin sags and wrinkles appear. Other factors also contribute to this.
- Dryness due to lack of moisture
- UV exposure
- Lifestyle habits such as stress
I tried to prevent it with home care, but I also had the experience of making it worse by using irritating products without knowing my skin type.
Why Collagen is Important
TuneFace is a face lifting procedure that uses multi-radiofrequency, stimulating 40.68MHz radiofrequency energy to help reconstruct damaged collagen tissue. Collagen is a protein that provides firm support to the skin like the framework of a building and connects cells. It provides elasticity to prevent sagging and wrinkles, traps moisture to maintain hydration, and strengthens the barrier to protect the skin from external stimuli.
3-Step Depth Reaching the SMAS Layer
As we age, collagen production decreases, and UV rays or stress accelerate its destruction. TuneFace promotes fundamental collagen production to aid remodeling, and by stimulating not only the skin but also the SMAS layer, it can be expected to provide firm lifting. With 3-step depth control, it was possible to target the dermis layer where elastin and collagen are located.
If you are curious about care tailored to your facial structure, please inquire first via consultation chat.
Why Deep Cheeks Were Also Considered
When the fat layer in the deep cheek area moves downwards, the cheeks sag and appear more prominent. If this area sags, the face may appear wider and the jawline may become indistinct, changing one's impression. TuneFace delivers energy deep into the dermis, allowing it to address not only sagging facial lines but also the front cheeks, nasolabial folds, and jawline.
Delicate Areas and Pain Burden
With a narrow tip, it was also possible to treat delicate wrinkle areas such as the forehead, temples, under the eyes, and around the mouth, and skin tone improvement could also be expected. The ice contact cooling method allowed for strong energy with less pain. However, the degree of sensation and results may vary from person to person.
Collagen Production Rather Than Simply Lifting
What was impressive was that it wasn't simply about lifting the face, but about inducing collagen production, which plays a significant role in elasticity. If you are concerned about changes in your facial contour due to a sagging jawline, I felt that a consultation that considers your facial structure together is more important than self-diagnosis.
If you are curious about lifting tailored to your facial structure, please check via consultation chat. You can also compare it with other radiofrequency lifting procedures such as Thermage FLX or ultrasound lifting procedures such as Ultherapy PRIME.
