My crow’s feet only show when I smile. Which route is that?
That description points at the muscular finding, and an injection is the instrument built for it. Confirm it yourself: smile hard at a mirror, then let your whole face go slack. A fan that disappears completely in the slack position is being drawn by the ring muscle. Your director repeats the test under controlled lighting and photographs both states.
Mine are visible even when my face is completely still. What then?
Then part of the line is printed into the skin and softening the movement will not lift it out. The reading splits in two: crepe and lost tension answer to the periorbital radiofrequency protocol, a thin papery dermis to the polynucleotide row. Both often apply in different proportions on one face, and the order is decided at the consultation.
How much is one toxin area around the eyes?
Both outer corners together count as one treated area, listed from ₩30,000 (≈ $20) on the Korean tier up to ₩150,000 (≈ $105) on the imported tier, with intermediate tiers on the price list. The figure covers one sitting and never a course, and it is identical whether you live in Seoul or are visiting.
Why is the eye radiofrequency protocol priced apart from the face protocol?
Because it uses a dedicated periorbital tip with its own shot count, mapped around the orbit instead of across the cheek and jaw. It is listed at ₩2,200,000 (≈ $1,570) and is bought alone as often as it is added to a face session. Where both are planned in one visit you approve two lines.
Can a polynucleotide row be placed in the skin around my eyes?
Yes, and this row exists for exactly that skin. It is listed at ₩400,000 (≈ $285) for a 2 cc unit, placed in small deposits through the thin tissue around the orbit. The deposits can be visible as small bumps for a while afterwards, worth knowing before you plan it around an event.
Will treating the outer corners flatten my smile?
It can if a point strays too low or too far toward the nose and reaches part of the muscle lifting the cheek. That is a mapping outcome, and it is the reason your points are marked while you are actively smiling and kept lateral to the bony rim. It is temporary when it happens, and it is the specific risk that keeps first doses around the eye deliberately light.
Can my upper eyelid feel heavy after an eye treatment?
Heaviness in the lid follows product reaching the muscle that opens the eye. Tell your director at once if a lid starts sitting lower than its twin, so it can be examined while it is developing. It resolves on the product’s own schedule, and that wait is the argument for a conservative first map.
Is the skin at my eye too thin for radiofrequency?
Thin skin is the reason the eye protocol exists as a separate tip and a separate map instead of being run at face settings. Whether your lid tolerates it is decided at the examination, and a lid that is inflamed, very lax or carrying a heavy fold is turned down. Transient swelling afterwards is ordinary; a poorly coupled handpiece is where the burn risk sits, which is why the session is director-performed.
Should I buy all three routes at once?
Rarely. Stopping the folding first and re-photographing the corner at the review gives a cleaner reading of the skin finding underneath, and the skin row that seemed necessary at the first visit often looks smaller afterwards. Nothing here is sold as a bundle.
When would you tell me to leave my eye wrinkles alone?
When the lines sit in loose, redundant skin and barely change between the smiling and the slack capture, which is a surgical question and is named as one. Also in pregnancy and breastfeeding, over infected or inflamed skin, and where a neuromuscular disorder is reported. We do not recommend an injection whose target is absent, and you are shown the two captures the decision rests on.
Can I be treated the day I come in, and do visitors pay the same?
Treatment can follow the consultation in the same visit once the corner has been captured and you have approved the figure, and Dear Clinic is open 365 days a year including Sundays and public holidays. Visiting patients pay what Seoul residents pay. English-language consultation covers the reading, the quote and the aftercare.
