Tighten and lift, no surgery.
RF lifting uses radiofrequency energy to heat the deep skin, contracting existing collagen and stimulating new collagen for a firmer, lifted look — with no incisions and essentially no downtime. At ARTNER it runs on Accent Prime by Alma, the platform Dr. Pyeon advises on.
Firmer skin, from the inside.
RF (radiofrequency) lifting warms the deeper layers of the skin to a precise temperature — enough to contract the collagen you already have and trigger your body to build more. The result is gradual tightening and lift without surgery or real downtime.
At ARTNER, RF lifting runs on Accent Prime by Alma (Israel), which combines radiofrequency with ultrasound in one platform. Our 'Tune' menu applies it by goal — Tune Face for full-face tightening and glow, Tune Liner for the jawline and double chin, Tune Ferra as a face-and-jaw combination, and Tune Body for body areas. Dr. Pyeon is a clinical advisor to Accent Prime, so settings are matched to your skin, not a fixed programme.

What a session looks like.
Simple, supervised, and planned around your goal.
Consult & skin analysis
Dr. Pyeon's team assesses your skin laxity, goal and the right Tune option and intensity.
Cleanse & map
The area is cleansed and mapped; a gel is applied for even energy delivery.
RF + ultrasound
The Accent Prime handpiece delivers controlled radiofrequency (and ultrasound) to warm the deep skin evenly.
Soothe & go
Cooling and soothing care finish the session — most people return straight to their day.
Heat now, collagen later.
RF lifting works on a simple principle: controlled heat in the deeper skin makes existing collagen fibres contract immediately, and the mild, safe injury signals your body to lay down new collagen over the following weeks. That two-part effect — instant tightening plus gradual remodelling — is why results build across a course rather than appearing all at once.
Because radiofrequency heats tissue rather than cutting it, there's no incision and essentially no downtime. It's well suited to early-to-moderate laxity and to keeping skin firm over time — and on ARTNER's Accent Prime platform it can be tuned for the face or for body areas.
Accent Prime, and who runs it.
ARTNER's RF lifting runs on Accent Prime by ALMA (Israel) — a platform that combines radiofrequency with ultrasound, so a single session can both tighten and smooth. It's the same technology used in ARTNER's post-procedure aftercare.
What matters as much as the device is who sets it. Dr. Pyeon is a clinical advisor to Accent Prime in Korea — someone who helps train other clinics on it — so your energy levels and depth are matched to your skin and goal, not run on a default programme.
Who it suits — and who we discuss further.
A good fit if you…
- Have early-to-moderate skin laxity on the face or body
- Want firmer, lifted skin without surgery or downtime
- Prefer a gradual, natural change over a course
- Want to maintain firmness as you age
We'll talk it through if you…
- Have very advanced sagging that may need threads or surgery
- Are pregnant or have an active skin infection in the area
- Have certain implanted electronic devices (we screen first)
- Expect a single session to equal a surgical facelift
What recovery looks like
- No downtime — most people return straight to their day
- Mild redness or warmth settles within hours
- Makeup is usually fine soon after
- Best results build over a short course
Good to know
- Results build over weeks and across a course, not instantly
- Not permanent — periodic maintenance keeps the effect
- Often paired with HIFU or threads for more lift
- We plan the plan around your travel
The result is half treatment, half aftercare.
A good outcome isn't only the session — it's how RF lifting is planned and supported around it. ARTNER runs a 2:1 intensive care system: dedicated attention, not a treatment and a goodbye at the door.
Aftercare uses medical devices, not just advice. ARTNER runs Accent Prime by ALMA (Israel) and matching protocols, and Dr. Pyeon is a clinical advisor to Accent Prime in Korea — so your plan is guided by someone who helps train other clinics on the technology.

Risks, and how we lower them.
Every medical treatment carries some risk. For RF lifting, expect temporary redness, warmth, mild swelling or small bruising; less commonly, uneven results or sensitivity. Results build gradually and are not permanent — a course and periodic maintenance keep them.
ARTNER lowers risk deliberately: an internal-medicine specialist screens you first, settings are matched to your skin and goals, and we'll honestly say when a treatment won't give the result you want — or when a different one fits better.
The device matters — who sets it matters more.
Anyone can buy a machine. Reading a patient's skin and choosing the right energy, depth and number of sessions is the difference between a real result and a wasted afternoon. That's the part I care about.

Good to know.
RF (radiofrequency) lifting warms the deeper layers of skin to contract existing collagen and stimulate new collagen, firming and lifting gradually. At ARTNER it runs on Accent Prime by Alma, with no incisions and essentially no downtime.
They're complementary. RF (Accent Prime) warms a broader area for overall tightening and glow with comfort; HIFU (Linear Z) targets deeper, focused points for more pronounced lift. Milder laxity often suits RF; deeper laxity or a sharper jaw often adds HIFU. We recommend honestly, and they're frequently combined.
Most people see the best result from a short course rather than a single session, as collagen builds over weeks. A typical plan is 1 or 3 sessions per option; we'll give you an honest number after assessing your skin.
It's generally comfortable — a warm, occasionally hot sensation as the energy delivers. There's no real downtime; mild redness or warmth settles within hours and makeup is usually fine soon after.
Yes — Tune Body applies the same Accent Prime technology to body areas for skin tightening, and it's often paired with body-contouring treatments.
