Treatment Overview
Air Jet Lifting is a non-surgical skin tightening and lifting procedure popular in Korean dermatology clinics. Using high-pressure air jet technology, it delivers energy and customized solutions (such as hyaluronic acid, vitamins, or PN boosters) deep into the skin without needles. The process stimulates collagen production, improves elasticity, and lifts sagging skin for a more youthful contour.
Unlike traditional lifting techniques (threads or surgical facelifts), Air Jet Lifting is needle-free, minimally invasive, and safe for patients who want natural tightening without downtime.
It belongs to the Skin Concerns: Sagging Skin family of treatments (Thread Lifting, Ulthera HIFU, Shurink, RF Lifting, Exosome Lifting):
- Air Jet Lifting: Best for non-invasive lifting + elasticity improvement.
- Ulthera HIFU / Shurink: Best for deep collagen tightening.
- Thread Lifting: Best for instant lifting and contour definition.
- RF Lifting: Best for mild sagging and texture refinement.
Purpose & Benefits
- Sagging Skin Improvement: Restores elasticity and firmness.
