Treatment Overview
Eye Rejuvenation Fillers are dermal filler treatments specifically designed to address aging and volume loss in the delicate under-eye and tear trough area. Using soft hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, these injections smooth hollow tear troughs, reduce dark circles caused by shadowing, and restore a youthful, refreshed look. Some Korean clinics also use collagen-stimulating fillers for longer-lasting skin strengthening.
In Korea, Eye Rejuvenation Fillers are extremely popular as part of Dermatology: Skin Rejuvenation, since Korean aesthetics focus heavily on bright, youthful eyes. Korean dermatologists use ultra-precise techniques and microcannulas to minimize bruising and avoid puffiness, ensuring results that look natural and seamless rather than overfilled.
Purpose & Benefits
- Dark Circle Reduction: Softens shadows caused by volume loss.
- Tear Trough Filling: Smooths hollows under the eyes.
- Wrinkle Softening: Reduces fine lines and crepey texture.
- Hydration Boost: HA binds water molecules, improving skin quality.
- Youthful, Refreshed Appearance: Brightens and rejuvenates tired-looking eyes.
- Non-Surgical Alternative: Avoids blepharoplasty for mild to moderate concerns.
Ideal Candidates
- Adults with under-eye hollows, dark shadows, or mild sagging.
- Individuals with volume loss in the tear trough area.
- Patients wanting non-surgical under-eye rejuvenation.
- Men and women seeking natural, refreshed results.
- Those without severe eye bags caused by fat prolapse (surgical candidates instead).
Possible Risks & Complications
- Temporary swelling, redness, or bruising at injection sites.
- Risk of lumps or puffiness if overfilled or poorly placed.
- Tyndall effect (bluish tint) if filler is injected too superficially.
- Rare but serious risks include vascular complications (reduced with expert injectors).
- Minimal infection risk if aftercare is not followed.
Techniques Used
- Soft HA Fillers (Restylane, Juvederm, Yvoire): Best suited for the delicate eye area.
