Under-Eye Botox in Seoul: Fine Lines, Results & Aftercare
Micro-dose neuromodulator injections to soften fine under-eye lines and smile creasing while keeping natural expression.
Under-eye Botox uses micro-doses of botulinum toxin to relax the small muscles beneath the eyes, softening fine lines and creasing when smiling. The injection takes about 5 minutes and most people return to normal activities immediately. Early smoothing appears in 3–5 days with full effect at 7–10 days, and results last about 2–3 months. It does not treat hollowness, which is usually addressed with filler or skin boosters.
What is under-eye Botox?
Under-eye Botox uses very small doses of a neuromodulator (botulinum toxin type A) to relax the delicate orbicularis muscle beneath the eyes. Conservative dosing aims to smooth—not freeze—the area so natural expressions remain. It can reduce:
- Fine, crepey under-eye lines
- Creasing when smiling
- A tired appearance caused by expression lines
Who is a good candidate?
- Fine lines or mild creasing under the eyes
- Wrinkles that appear when smiling
- Early signs of ageing, or people wanting subtle preventive care
It is not suitable for hollowness, eye bags or significant skin laxity; in those cases the doctor may suggest tear trough filler or skin boosters. Dosing must be cautious, as too much can weaken lower-lid support.

Treatment process
- English consultation and assessment of skin thickness, muscle activity and tear trough depth
- Micro-dose injections beneath the eyes
- Return to daily activities immediately
Total treatment time is about 5 minutes. A small bruise or slight swelling is possible.
Results and duration
| Stage | Timing |
|---|---|
| Early smoothing | 3–5 days |
| Full effect | 7–10 days |
| Duration | About 2–3 months |
Results are shorter than in other areas because the doses are small and the area moves constantly; regular maintenance keeps the effect consistent.
Aftercare tips
- Do not rub the area for 24 hours
- Avoid sauna and heavy exercise for one day
- Use gentle skincare around the eyes

Frequently asked questions
How long does under-eye Botox last?
About 2–3 months, which is shorter than Botox elsewhere on the face because only micro-doses are used.
When will I see results?
Early smoothing usually appears in 3–5 days, with the full effect at 7–10 days.
Does under-eye Botox help dark circles or hollows?
No. It softens expression lines; hollows and shadows are usually treated with tear trough filler or skin boosters.
Is there downtime?
Most people return to normal activities immediately. A small bruise or slight swelling may occur.
Are there risks with under-eye Botox?
Overdosing can weaken lower-eyelid support or cause puffiness, which is why conservative, doctor-controlled dosing is used.
