Tuneface explained

Tuneface is the Korean treatment name for RF lifting done on the Accent Prime platform made by Alma, an Israeli company. It is known in Seoul as a lifting option with low pain. Some clinics also use the same platform's ultrasound handpieces for body contouring.

How Tuneface works

The handpiece delivers radiofrequency energy at 40.68 MHz, which heats the dermis evenly. The doctor moves it over the skin to keep tissue at a target temperature for several minutes. This tightens existing collagen and triggers new collagen over time. Built-in cooling keeps the surface comfortable, so numbing is often not needed.

Who Tuneface is for

• Mild loss of firmness on the cheeks and jaw
• Fine lines and loose skin around the eyes
• People with low pain tolerance
• Those who want no downtime
• Combining with HIFU for a layered lift

Who should avoid Tuneface

• People with a pacemaker or implanted electronic device
• Pregnant women
• Metal implants in the area, unless a doctor approves
• Active skin infection or open wounds
• Severe sagging that needs surgery
