What is ART-TUNE signature?
ART-TUNE (아트튠) is ARTNER's signature comprehensive face refinement program designed for patients seeking V-line transformation, jawline definition, and facial harmony WITHOUT facial bone surgery. ART-TUNE combines: (1) Face lifting (non-surgical thread/RF/HIFU); (2) Facial contouring via Face Artner Injection; (3) Skin booster (Juvelook for skin quality); (4) Cheek/buccal fat reduction if needed; (5) Face Liposuction if appropriate. Dr. Hye-woo Pyeon serves as ART-TUNE Clinical Advisor — recognized expertise across the program.
How does ART-TUNE create V-line without bone surgery?
ART-TUNE achieves V-line through soft tissue refinement: (1) Excess fat reduction via Face Artner Injection or Face Liposuction (slimmer cheeks/jawline); (2) Skin elasticity enhancement via Juvelook skin booster (firmer skin retraction); (3) Lifting without surgery via threads/RF/HIFU (jawline tightening); (4) Volume balance via fillers if needed (chin projection for harmony); (5) Comprehensive harmony through coordinated approach. Bone surgery (V-line jaw reduction) is NOT performed at ARTNER — for cases requiring bone work, separate plastic/oral surgery referral provided.
How much does ART-TUNE program cost?
ART-TUNE pricing varies by scope: Single component (just Face Artner Injection or just lifting) $1,500-$2,500 USD; Two-component (lifting + Face Artner Injection) $2,500-$3,800; Comprehensive ART-TUNE (full V-line program) $4,000-$5,500; Premium ART-TUNE with Skin Booster + multi-session $5,000-$7,500. Sessions typically spread across 3-6 months for sustained results. Pricing includes consultation, all components, follow-up visits, and English documentation.
Who is ART-TUNE recommended for?
ART-TUNE candidates: (1) Patients wanting V-line aesthetic without surgical recovery; (2) Patients with mild-moderate jawline laxity (age 30-55 typical sweet spot); (3) Patients post-weight-loss with residual jowl fat; (4) Patients seeking comprehensive face refinement vs single intervention; (5) Patients with cultural/professional needs limiting visible recovery; (6) Pre-wedding or pre-event refinement candidates. NOT appropriate for: severe jowl laxity requiring surgical lift, severe facial bone asymmetry requiring bone work, patients seeking complete transformation.
How is ART-TUNE different from individual face procedures?
Individual face procedures address single concerns (just lifting, just fillers, etc.); ART-TUNE coordinates 3-5 components for comprehensive harmony. Coordinated approach advantages: (1) Aesthetic balance — interventions complement rather than conflict; (2) Cost efficiency — bundled pricing vs separate procedures; (3) Coordinated recovery — single timeline; (4) Long-term planning — Dr. Pyeon's expertise designs durable comprehensive results; (5) Foreign patient simplicity — single program vs scheduling multiple separate procedures.
What are the components of comprehensive ART-TUNE?
Standard comprehensive ART-TUNE program: (1) Face Artner Injection (3-session program for fat dissolution in jaw/cheek); (2) Non-surgical lifting (one of: thread lift, RF lifting like Inmode FaceTite, or HIFU like Ulthera); (3) Skin booster (Juvelook 2-session program for skin quality); (4) Optional fillers (if volume balance needed); (5) Optional buccal fat removal (if deep cheek fat). Most patients receive components 1-3; components 4-5 added based on individual assessment. Dr. Pyeon designs personalized combination.
How long does ART-TUNE take?
Treatment timeline: Initial consultation + first session: day 1 (2-3 hours total clinic time); Spaced sessions: 2-4 weeks apart for fat injection components, 6-8 weeks apart for lifting components; Total program length: 3-6 months for comprehensive V-line achievement; Visible improvements: progressive starting week 2; Full result: 6 months. For foreign patients on shorter Korea trips, can compress timeline by combining multiple components per session — Dr. Pyeon designs travel-optimized scheduling.
Is ART-TUNE pain or downtime?
ART-TUNE has minimal pain and downtime due to non-surgical components: Face Artner Injection — mild bruising 3-5 days; Threading — mild swelling 7-10 days; RF lifting — slight redness 2-4 days; Skin booster — mild tenderness 1-2 days; HIFU — minor sensitivity 1-3 days. Combined sessions: similar to single component recovery. Most patients return to normal social/professional activities within 7 days of each session. No surgical recovery, no general anesthesia, no compression.
How does ART-TUNE complement ART-FAT?
ART-FAT focuses on body refinement; ART-TUNE focuses on face refinement. Many patients combine both: (1) Comprehensive transformation — body via ART-FAT + face via ART-TUNE; (2) Sequential approach — body first, then face refinement; (3) Travel-optimized — combine surgeries (ART-FAT) and non-surgical (ART-TUNE) in single Korean visit. Combined ART-FAT + ART-TUNE pricing typically $7,500-$15,000 depending on comprehensive scope. See
ART-FAT signature page
for body coordination.
Are ART-TUNE results permanent?
Result permanence varies by component: Fat dissolution from Face Artner Injection — permanent fat cell destruction; Skin booster (Juvelook) — 12-18 months, refresher recommended annually; Lifting (threads) — 12-24 months, RF and HIFU components last 12-24 months also; Comprehensive V-line — long-term with annual maintenance. Without maintenance, results gradually return to baseline 12-24 months. Most patients schedule annual refresher sessions for sustained results.
Can I have ART-TUNE if I'm not in Korea?
Yes — Cheongdam premium foreign patient branch dedicated to international patients. Foreign patient ART-TUNE program: (1) Initial WhatsApp consultation; (2) Personalized program recommendation; (3) Korea trip 7-14 days (longer for comprehensive scope); (4) Multi-session within trip if scheduling allows; (5) Annual maintenance trips or coordinated with Korea visits. Many international patients combine ART-TUNE with ART-FAT body procedures in single 14-day Korean medical trip. Dr. Pyeon's English credentials support international patient confidence.
