KUDO Combination Ultrasound Lifting | Ultherapy + Tune Liner

As we age and the face begins to appear more sagging, most people first think of a loss of skin firmness. However, changes in the face are not simply a matter of skin elasticity. The structures that support the skin gradually weaken, while facial fat begins to shift downward. As this happens, the jawline can become less defined, a double chin and deep cheek fat may become more noticeable, and the overall face can appear heavier and less defined. In other words, facial sagging is not simply the result of loose skin, but a complex change involving both loss of firmness and the downward movement of facial fat.

Understanding the Causes of Skin Sagging: Why a Comprehensive Approach to Facial Structure Matters
Many people considering a lifting treatment first focus on skin firmness. However, facial sagging is not simply a matter of skin elasticity. Over time, the structures that support the skin gradually weaken, while facial fat begins to shift downward. As this happens, the jawline becomes less defined, a double chin may develop, and deep cheek fat and jowls can become more prominent, making the overall facial contour appear heavier and less defined.
Therefore, simply tightening the skin is not enough. Along with improving firmness, it is important to address excess fat that can blur facial contours in order to achieve a more balanced and defined facial line. For this reason, an approach that considers the overall facial structure is essential.

KUDO Combination Ultrasound Lifting
KUDO Combination Ultrasound Lifting utilizes two types of ultrasound energy, each with a different purpose. Ultrasound energy for improving firmness and ultrasound energy for refining facial contours are carefully combined to achieve a more balanced lifting result. Rather than simply applying stronger energy, the treatment is precisely designed according to each individual’s skin condition and facial structure. This combination approach is designed to provide a more comfortable treatment experience while minimizing discomfort and downtime.

How Ultherapy and Tune Liner Work
Facial sagging does not result from a single cause. The face may begin to descend as firmness decreases, while excess fat can also make facial contours appear less defined. Taking these complex factors into consideration, KUDO combines Ultherapy and Tune Liner within a single treatment approach. While Ultherapy works to improve firmness in the deeper layers of the skin, Tune Liner helps address excess fat that can blur facial contours. An approach that considers both lifting and contouring—this is the principle behind KUDO Combination Ultrasound Lifting.

Loss of Skin Firmness: Why Accurate Diagnosis and Precise Treatment Matter
At KUDO Dermatology, a board-certified dermatologist carefully assesses the condition of the skin and overall facial structure, evaluating not only the concerns that are currently visible but also the underlying factors contributing to them. Even when sagging, a double chin, or loss of firmness may appear similar, the underlying causes can differ from person to person. They may result from reduced skin elasticity, changes in facial fat distribution, or structural changes within the face. Rather than applying the same treatment to everyone, KUDO designs an individualized treatment plan based on each patient’s skin condition, facial structure, and pattern of aging. By respecting each individual’s unique facial structure and features, we pursue results that appear natural, balanced, and harmonious.
