ART-TUNE in Cheongdam, Gangnam — fat dissolving and skin tightening on the same day.
ART-TUNE is ARTNER Cheongdam's signature slim-and-tighten course — the patented ARTNER Injection paired with an RF skin-tightening device over the same area, same session, so fat is dissolved and the skin over it is firmed together. Built for areas where fat and loose skin come as a pair — post-pregnancy abdomen, inner arms, inner thighs, skin softened after weight loss — as a six-session course from ₩3,990,000. Non-surgical, no downtime, and one of the few body contouring options in Korea designed to avoid the loose-skin trade-off.
What is ART-TUNE, and why pair dissolving with tightening?
ART-TUNE combines ARTNER Injection with an RF skin-tightening device (Tune Body or Unibody) applied over the same area on the same day — so the fat that is dissolved does not leave loose or crepey skin behind. It is a body-focused, non-surgical course developed at ARTNER Cheongdam, Gangnam for areas prone to laxity — arms, abdomen, inner thighs and flanks — and for skin that has softened after weight loss or pregnancy.
It's a body-focused, non-surgical course built for areas prone to laxity — arms, abdomen, inner thighs and flanks — or for skin that has softened after weight loss. Choose Tune Body or Unibody, add a Wegovy pen for medical weight-loss support, and the plan is shaped to your body across six sessions. A Face ART-TUNE version for the jaw and double chin is also available.
The same clean formula. ART-TUNE uses the very same ARTNER Injection — no steroids, no hyaluronidase, no PPC — paired with the tightening device, so you get a cleaner dissolve and firmer skin in one non-surgical course.
Is ART-TUNE the right choice — or is injection alone enough?
The tightening step costs more, so ARTNER Cheongdam only recommends it where the skin needs it. Four situations, honestly sorted.
Fat + loose skin
Pinch the area: if the skin is thin, slow to snap back, or you have had a pregnancy or major weight loss, dissolving alone leaves laxity. ART-TUNE dissolves and firms in step.
Fat, firm skin
Young, elastic skin that snaps back instantly only needs Fat dissolving injection in Gangnam — from ₩1,200,000 — the tightening adds cost, not result, and we will say so.
Real volume + laxity
A large bulge with loose skin: remove the volume with liposuction in Gangnam, Korea, then firm with Accent Prime aftercare or ART-TUNE on the remaining pockets.
Loose skin only
If there is little fat left and mostly laxity, ART-TUNE is not the tool; skin tightening and lifting in Cheongdam, Gangnam alone, or a surgical plan, is discussed instead.
Send a photo of the area relaxed and one with the skin pinched — Dr. Pyeon's team in Gangnam tells you within 24 hours whether tightening is needed at all.

How does ART-TUNE work at ARTNER Gangnam?
Fat loss and skin tightening are planned to happen in step — that balance is the whole point of ART-TUNE.
Dissolve
ARTNER Injection breaks down fat in the target area, session by session across the course.
Tighten
A skin-tightening lifting device is applied to the same area to firm and lift as the fat reduces.
In step
The two are paced together over six sessions, so slimming and skin-firming keep up with each other.
Smooth line
You lose volume without the loose, crepey skin that fat loss alone can sometimes leave behind.

A good fit if you…
- Want to slim an area and avoid loose skin
- Are treating areas prone to laxity — arms, inner thighs, abdomen

- Are pregnant or breastfeeding (please wait)

- The tightening step is comfortable; mild warmth or swelling settles in days
- Drink water and stay active to help your body clear the fat
- Complete all six sessions for the even, tightened result
Possible side effects
- Temporary swelling, redness or tenderness at treated areas

- Results build gradually across the course — this is expected

How does ART-TUNE fit a short trip to Seoul?
Six sessions, no downtime — most international patients do one or two in Cheongdam and plan the rest around their next visit.
Plan on WhatsApp
Photos relaxed and pinched → whether tightening is needed, area count, KRW quote within 24 hours.
Consult + session 1
InBody, skin-elasticity check, internal-medicine screening, English consent, then injection and tightening in the same visit. Mild warmth or swelling for a day or two; fine to fly.
Session 2 (optional)
A second session before you leave if your stay allows — no compression garment, no downtime.
First changes
Clothes fit differently as the fat clears; the skin firms in step over the following weeks. Remote photo check on WhatsApp.
Sessions 3–6
Completed on a second trip to Gangnam or spaced around your schedule; tightening sessions can be grouped.
Final judgment
Slimming and firming are assessed together once clearance is complete.
Rule of thumb from ARTNER Cheongdam: 1–2 days in Seoul per ART-TUNE visit; combine with a liposuction area if you are staying a week. Days by treatment: Contact ARTNER Cheongdam, Gangnam.
Is ART-TUNE registered in Korea?
ART-TUNE is registered with the Korean Intellectual Property Office (특허청) — a patented, trademark-protected protocol combining fat-dissolving injection with skin tightening, not a generic device package. When you book ART-TUNE, you book the original.
Registered with the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO). Certificate numbers available on request.
Why does ARTNER Cheongdam pace slimming and firming together?
Slimming without tightening can leave skin loose — ART-TUNE was built at ARTNER Cheongdam to do both in step. The art is balancing how much fat you dissolve against how much the skin can bounce back, and I do not add the tightening to a patient whose skin does not need it.

ART-TUNE in Korea — questions answered.
A six-session Body ART-TUNE course starts from ₩3,990,000 (ARTNER Injection on three areas plus Tune tightening on one), ₩4,690,000 for four areas plus tightening, up to ₩7,900,000 for the most complete course. Face ART-TUNE starts from ₩390,000 per session. KRW, ex-VAT, identical to the Korean price list — no foreigner surcharge.
ARTNER Injection dissolves fat. ART-TUNE adds an RF skin-tightening step over the same area on the same day, so the skin firms as the fat reduces. It is the right choice when fat and loose skin come together; if your skin is firm and elastic, injection alone is enough and ARTNER Cheongdam will say so.
Tune Body or Unibody — RF-based skin-tightening devices chosen by area size and skin condition at the Cheongdam clinic. Both are applied on the same visit as the injection, so the course still takes six appointments, not twelve.
The signature ART-TUNE course is body-focused — abdomen, arms, inner thighs, flanks. A Face ART-TUNE version (Face ARTNER injection plus Tune Liner jawline tightening) exists for the double chin and jawline and is covered on the Face Slimming page.
Often, yes — it is the most common post-pregnancy plan at ARTNER Cheongdam, once breastfeeding has ended and weight has been stable for 2–3 months. Diastasis recti (separated abdominal muscles) is checked first, because fat and skin treatments do not fix it.
It is the ARTNER Injection micro-injections plus a comfortable warm tightening pass. Most patients describe a brief sting and mild warmth; there is no downtime, and you can fly, work or sightsee the same day. Mild swelling or redness settles within days.
Gradually. Clothes fit differently from around session 2–3; the firming builds over the following weeks and the combined result is judged 4–6 weeks after the sixth session. Skin retraction continues for 2–3 months.
Usually one or two sessions per trip. ARTNER Cheongdam plans ART-TUNE as sessions in Gangnam plus remote follow-up, or groups sessions on a second visit; results accumulate even with longer gaps.
For patients who meet Korean prescribing criteria (BMI 30+, or 27+ with a weight-related condition), the course can include medically supervised weight-loss medication after an in-person internal-medicine consultation (ART-TUNE × Wegovy from ₩4,540,000). It is never added for cosmetic reasons at normal weight, and remote prescriptions are not permitted in Korea.
Volume decides. A defined bulge is removed faster and permanently with one awake ART-FAT session, followed by Accent Prime aftercare or ART-TUNE on remaining pockets. Moderate fat with loose skin suits ART-TUNE alone. Two photos on WhatsApp settle it.
Dissolved fat cells are cleared and do not return; remaining cells can enlarge with significant weight gain, so results hold while weight is stable. Skin elasticity also changes with age, which is why the tightening step matters for long-term appearance.
Temporary swelling, redness or tenderness at treated areas, brief firmness that settles on its own, and mild warmth from the RF step. Rare: pigmentation or small nodules. Pregnancy and breastfeeding are contraindications.
Yes. ART-FAT on the main volume and ART-TUNE on adjacent laxity-prone areas is a common combination for international patients, sequenced so the liposuction recovery window comes first.
Because it only helps where the skin needs it. ARTNER Cheongdam checks elasticity by pinch and history (pregnancy, weight loss, age) and recommends injection alone when the skin will retract on its own — a cheaper course with the same result.
