How Does Under-Eye Filler Work on Dark Circles?
Under-eye filler is a procedure that adds volume by injecting hyaluronic acid (HA) filler into a hollow under-eye area. When the cause of the dark circles is the "shadow type" caused by hollowing, adding volume can reduce the contrast between light and shadow, and an improvement can be expected. Pigmentation-type or vascular-type dark circles are hard to correct with filler alone, and the cause needs to be identified first. Under-eye filler at Repic Clinic in Gangnam is performed to add volume to hollowed and dark-circle areas.

Under-Eye Filler vs. Aegyo-sal Filler: What Is the Difference?
Under-eye filler and aegyo-sal filler address the same area below the eyes but have different purposes. Under-eye filler focuses on filling the hollow in the dark-circle area to reduce shadow. Aegyo-sal filler adds volume to the aegyo-sal area, the small fullness just under the eye, and aims at an appearance in which the eyes look larger and livelier. The two differ in whether they can be done together, the injection site and the expected result, so it helps to describe your under-eye condition and the change you want specifically at the consultation.
If the under-eye hollow is deep or accompanied by an imbalance in overall facial volume, an approach that considers adjacent areas such as the cheekbones and cheeks, as with 3D Design Filler, may be reviewed instead of under-eye treatment alone. In that case, the areas and order of treatment are decided after judging facial proportions as a whole.
What to Check Before Treatment
The under-eye area has thin skin and dense blood vessels, so it needs more care than other areas. Before treatment, you should generally tell the clinic about any blood thinners, aspirin and supplements you are taking, and bruising, swelling and temporary asymmetry may appear afterward. Hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved with an enzyme injection (hyaluronidase), but depending on the injection site and the distribution of blood vessels, additional treatment may be needed in some cases. Repic Clinic in Gangnam is located at 318 Gangnam-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, basement levels 1 and 2, and advises confirming suitability through a consultation before treatment.
