Treatment Direction for Eye Wrinkles and Under-Eye Hollows at Hongdae Dermatology

The eye area is one of the first parts of the face where changes are felt.

When fine lines increase and the under-eye area starts to look hollow,

the overall impression can

begin to look tired or older.

In particular, eye wrinkles and under-eye hollows may seem like separate concerns,

but in reality,

they often occur together as part of a process in which changes in skin structure happen in combination.

That is why, in consultations at Hongdae Dermatology,

a treatment approach that considers multiple factors together

is more important than choosing a single procedure.

Why do eye wrinkles and under-eye hollows appear together? The skin around the eyes has

a thin dermis, low collagen density, and a low number of sebaceous glands.

Because of these characteristics,

• skin elasticity can decrease easily • fine lines can form repeatedly • the skin’s support structure can weaken easily.

Along with this,

in the under-eye area,

changes in fat position and

a decrease in volume can progress at the same time,

leading to a more noticeable hollow appearance.

In other words,

as reduced elasticity and volume changes progress together,

eye wrinkles and under-eye hollows appear at the same time.

Why a single procedure has limitations. Eye wrinkles and under-eye hollows have different causes,

so it is difficult for just one procedure to address all of the changes at once.

For example,

if only a lifting procedure is performed based solely on reduced elasticity,

the under-eye hollow may remain,

and the overall impression may not change significantly.

On the other hand,

if the approach focuses only on volume replenishment,

fine lines or changes in skin texture

may still remain visible.

So what matters is

separating and approaching each factor with the appropriate procedure.

The role of eye lifting, Thermage Eye. Thermage Eye

delivers thermal stimulation to the dermis of the skin around the eyes

using radiofrequency (RF) energy

and is a procedure that induces collagen regeneration.

In this process,

• the skin tissue can contract • elasticity may gradually recover • fine lines may be reduced.

In particular, with a tip designed specifically for the eye area,

it is structured to allow relatively delicate treatment even on thin skin,

so it is considered a basic lifting approach

for improving eye wrinkles.

A skin booster that considers under-eye hollows and skin texture. When under-eye hollows are present as well,

a lifting procedure alone is not enough;

a treatment approach that also considers the skin environment and volume is needed.

Methods used in this case include

eye-area skin boosters such as Rejuran I and Juvelook Eye.

Rejuran I

works in a way that helps restore a damaged skin environment

and promotes regeneration,

which may help improve skin texture and fine lines.

Juvelook Eye

stimulates collagen production

and takes an approach that helps supplement skin density,

which may help alleviate the appearance of hollowness

in the under-eye area.

As such,

because each procedure works differently,

it is important to apply them selectively according to the skin condition.

Why a combined approach is needed. When eye wrinkles and under-eye hollows appear together,

a combination of lifting and skin boosters

may be considered rather than a single procedure.

For example,

• Thermage Eye can be used to support elasticity • Rejuran I or Juvelook Eye can be used to support the skin environment and density.

This approach

may lead to a more natural result

in that it can consider separate issues at the same time

according to their respective causes.

Treatment results vary depending on the “application criteria.” The eye area has

a thin and sensitive skin structure,

so it is important to precisely adjust

• energy intensity • treatment depth • application range.

In particular,

when lifting and skin boosters are considered together,

a detailed planning process is essential

because different approaches may be needed for each area.

Why the judgment of an experienced dermatologist matters. What matters in eye-area procedures is not the device or type of procedure,

but accurately analyzing the current skin condition.

An experienced dermatologist

• evaluates the thickness and elasticity of the skin around the eyes • distinguishes whether the cause of hollowness is volume loss or structural change • determines whether each procedure is necessary.

In addition,

it is important to avoid excessive treatment

and set an appropriate direction

within a natural range.

An approach tailored to my eye area is needed. Eye wrinkles and under-eye hollows should not be approached as a single simple problem;

based on the current condition,

it is important to distinguish

• what change is the main concern • which procedure is needed.

Through a consultation at Hongdae Dermatology,

if you accurately understand the condition of the eye area

and set a treatment direction that matches each factor,

it can lead to a more natural and stable change.
