How much is under-eye filler in Korea?
At Dear Clinic the eye-area unit is ₩500,000 (≈ $355) for 0.5cc of Eye Light, published on the price list and identical for Korean patients and international visitors. KRW is the payable amount and the USD figure is shown for reference only. Most plans in this area use one unit; the total is agreed with you before anything is opened.
Why is under-eye filler sold in 0.5cc when other areas are sold in 1cc?
Because the correct dose here is small, and pricing in half-unit steps stops the smallest area on the list being quoted against the largest. A cheek or a chin can take a full cubic centimetre or more without looking treated. Under the eye, that volume would be a visible error. The unit on the sheet reflects the anatomy, and it is no kind of discount structure.
How long does under-eye filler last?
Hyaluronic acid is gradually broken down by the body, and nothing in this category is permanent. Duration varies with the product, the plane it sits in, how much movement the area sees and individual metabolism, so a conservative range is given to you in person instead of a number published for everyone. The area is reviewed before any repeat is proposed.
Does under-eye filler hurt?
Comfort measures are confirmed at consultation, and many hyaluronic-acid products contain a local anaesthetic themselves. Most people describe pressure more than pain. The area is sensitive, so the pace is slow and you are asked how it feels as it goes; tell your director immediately if anything is sharp or if pain increases.
What is the Tyndall effect, and how do you avoid it?
It is a bluish cast that can appear when hyaluronic acid sits too superficially under very thin skin, because the gel scatters light towards the blue end of the spectrum. Avoiding it is a matter of depth, product selection and dose. If it does occur, hyaluronidase dissolves the deposit, and that enzyme is kept in this building for exactly that reason.
Can under-eye filler be dissolved if I dislike it?
Yes. Hyaluronic acid is reversible with hyaluronidase, which has its own published review in the aesthetic literature listed at the foot of this page. Dissolving is a separate appointment and a separate injection, and the area is then left to settle before anything further is considered. This reversibility is one of the reasons hyaluronic acid is used here instead of a permanent material.
Will filler fix my dark circles?
Only if the darkness is shadow. Filling a groove changes how light falls, which removes shadow, and it does nothing at all to pigment sitting in the skin or to the bluish tint of vessels showing through. A simple stretch test at consultation separates the two, and where the problem is colour instead of contour you will be quoted for something else.
What happens if I have eye bags instead of a hollow?
You are told so, and we do not inject. A bag is fat that has moved forward, and adding volume underneath it commonly makes the convexity more obvious. The route for that finding is a surgical opinion, which this clinic does not offer, and saying that at the first appointment is cheaper for you than a course that cannot work.
How much swelling should I expect, and for how long?
More than you would expect from the volume involved, and it varies widely between people. The area holds fluid easily, so swelling in the first days is normal and sometimes uneven between the two sides. Judging the result before around two weeks is the commonest reason patients worry unnecessarily. Sleep with the head raised and keep salt low for the first days.
Can I have under-eye filler on the same day as my consultation?
Usually yes, once the examination confirms that filling is the right answer. Diagnosis and consultation take roughly half an hour and treatment can follow immediately. The thing to plan around is the bruising risk more than the appointment time, so tell us on the form how many days you have before any event or flight.
Is under-eye filler safe?
Every injection near the eye carries real risk, and the serious one is vascular. The published literature includes an anatomical mapping of facial danger zones and an ophthalmologic review of visual loss after facial filler injection, both listed below. Our protocol answers that literature with a director-performed injection by the doctor who examined you, small volumes placed deep, and hyaluronidase on site.
I am visiting Seoul briefly — how should I plan this, and how do I book?
Plan the appointment early in the trip so that a review is possible before you leave, and leave several days before anything photographed. Send the consultation form with your arrival and departure dates and, if possible, one photograph taken under an overhead light. We reply in English as soon as possible, hold the slot without a deposit, charge visitors the same published rates, and are open 365 days a year including Sundays and public holidays.
