Under Eye Rejuran vs Juvelook vs Sculptra: Which Works Best?
Under-eye fillers are one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in Korea, especially among international patients who want to brighten dark circles, smooth hollowness, and refresh tired eyes without surgery.
A key question patients ask during consultations is:
“How many CCs do I need for my under-eye fillers?”
The answer depends on your anatomy, degree of hollowness, skin thickness, and whether both sides need the same amount. Here’s a clear breakdown to help you understand typical volumes and what to expect during your visit to a Korean skin clinic.
1. Typical Amount of Filler Needed Under the Eyes
Most patients require:
➡ 0.5–1cc per side
or
➡ 1–2cc total for both eyes
This is the standard range used in Korean clinics.
2. Why the Amount Varies From Person to Person
A. Degree of Tear Trough Hollowing
- Mild hollow → 0.3–0.5cc per side
- Moderate hollow → 0.5–0.8cc per side
- Deep hollow → 0.8–1cc per side
B. Skin Thickness
Thicker skin can hold slightly more product; thinner skin requires caution to avoid puffiness.
C. Filler Type Used
Soft, flexible HA fillers (e.g., Chaeum 1, Restylane Eyelight, or Volbella) integrate well and require lower volume.
D. Under-Eye Shadow vs Hollowness
Not all dark circles are caused by hollowing—pigmentation and skin texture also matter.
3. Why Korean Clinics Often Use Less Filler
Korean clinics prioritize:
- Natural results
- Minimal swelling
- Avoiding puffiness (Tyndall effect)
- Micro-layer placement
- Multi-step approach
Rather than injecting a full 1cc right away, many Korean doctors prefer:
“Layering Technique”
Start with 0.3–0.5cc → reassess → add more only if needed.
This produces smoother, more even results.
4. When You Might Need More CCs
You may require 1–1.5cc per side if:
- You have deep hollowness
- You’ve lost mid-cheek volume
- You’ve had aging-related volume decline
- You need midface support (malar filler)
In these cases, the clinic may recommend combining tear trough fillers with midface/cheek fillers to support the under-eye.
5. What Happens If You Inject Too Much?
Overfilling leads to:
- Puffiness
- Water retention
- Under-eye swelling
- Blue tint (Tyndall effect)
- Irregular texture
Korean specialists typically avoid this by using conservative amounts and building up slowly.
6. How Long Do Under Eye Fillers Last?
In Korea, most soft HA fillers last:
9–18 months
With natural metabolism depending on:
- Lifestyle
- Sleep
- Stress
- Hydration
- Filler brand
- Placement depth
7. How Much Does Under Eye Filler Cost in Korea?
Typical pricing in Seoul:
- ₩250,000–₩600,000 per 1cc
(depends on brand and clinic)
Premium imported fillers (Restylane, Juvederm) cost more than Korean brands (Chaeum, Yvoire, etc.).
8. Treatment Flow in Korean Clinics
1. Consultation & Diagnosis
Assess hollowness, pigmentation, ligament support.
2. Numbing / Ice
For comfort.
3. Cannula Treatment
Most Korean clinics use cannulas to minimize bruising.
4. Micro-layer Injection
Small amounts placed precisely.
5. Aftercare
Ice packs, no heavy exercise, no sauna for 24 hours.
Entire process takes 10–20 minutes.
Final Answer: How Many CCs?
Most patients need 1–2cc total for natural under-eye correction in Korea.
Breakdown:
- Mild: 0.5–1cc total
- Moderate: 1–1.5cc total
- Severe: 1.5–2cc+ total (with cheek support)
Korean clinics focus on subtle, natural improvements, so expect a conservative and safe approach.
