Hollow Eyes Treatment in Seoul | Fillers, Cost & Options

Hollow Eyes explained

Hollow eyes describe a sunken look either under the eyes (the tear trough) or in the upper eyelid above the crease. They can make people look tired or older even after rest. Causes include genetics, ageing fat loss, thin skin, weight loss and past eyelid surgery.

How Hollow Eyes works

A doctor injects a small amount of soft hyaluronic acid filler, often with a blunt cannula, to replace lost volume under the eye or in the upper lid. For thin, crepey under-eye skin, skin boosters such as Rejuran Eye or PN injections can improve skin quality. Collagen stimulators may be used in some cases, but upper-lid and tear trough areas need a very experienced injector because of nearby vessels.
