Treatment Overview
AirJet Lifting with Ulthera Prime is a non-surgical skin tightening procedure that combines pressurized air-based delivery of rejuvenating agents (AirJet) with focused ultrasound energy (Ulthera Prime). The AirJet device delivers nutrients or lifting solutions into the dermis without needles, creating volumizing effects while stimulating collagen. Ulthera Prime then uses ultrasound energy to target the SMAS layer for deep tightening and lifting. Together, they provide both surface-level rejuvenation and long-lasting structural lifting.
In Korean dermatology, this synergy is used to smooth fine lines, restore firmness, and enhance facial contours with minimal downtime.
Purpose & Benefits
- Non-Invasive Lift: Firms sagging skin without surgical incisions.
- Collagen Induction: Stimulates fibroblast activity for long-term elasticity.
- Wrinkle Reduction: Softens fine lines and early folds.
- Enhanced Hydration: AirJet infusion volumizes and nourishes skin.
- Dual Action: AirJet targets dermis, Ulthera Prime lifts SMAS layer.
- Natural Contouring: Improves jawline definition and overall skin density.
- Low Downtime: Minimal bruising or swelling compared to invasive lifting.

AirJet with Ulthera Prime in Korea is recommended for:
- Patients with mild to moderate skin laxity.
