When the cold wind begins to blow, many people become interested in lifting treatments as they feel an increase in fine wrinkles and sagging skin. There are various lifting methods, and today we will explain the principle of the AirJet method, which is used to refine the facial line.

AirJet is a method that injects a special solution containing glucose and hyaluronic acid into the skin using high-pressure energy from a special nozzle.

• It aims to stimulate the dermal layer to induce immediate refinement and skin regeneration.
• It is known for making a popping sound, similar to firecrackers.
• It can also be applied to the scalp and hairline to reduce bruising and swelling on the face.

The progress after the procedure generally follows this flow:

• It addresses skin with fine wrinkles and reduced elasticity due to a decrease in dermal components.
• Immediate contraction due to stimulation induces refinement and regeneration.
• After about a week, the effect may feel somewhat diminished, but at this time, dermal regeneration is progressing.
• After about a month, tissue regenerates, and changes appear.

When used on deeply indented scars, it can also be expected to have an effect similar to subcision. When performed with hyaluronic acid, it can help fill in the indented areas. Daily life is relatively easy immediately after the procedure, but it is best not to wash your hair on the same day.

It is best to confirm the appropriate direction for your skin condition through a consultation with Dr. Choi Byeong-geun. If you are curious about AirJet lifting, please inquire via chat.

• If there is a lot of swelling, apply an ice pack.
• Avoid saunas, swimming, and strenuous exercise for about a week.
• Avoid getting water on the treated area for 3-4 days and refrain from alcohol.
• Scabs may form and will resolve over several days.

AirJet is a method that stimulates the dermal layer with high-pressure injection to consider both refinement and regeneration. It is important to pursue natural changes and create a plan that suits your condition. If you have any questions, please feel free to inquire via chat consultation.
