Under-Eye Wrinkles Treatment in Korea: Boosters, Laser & RF
The short answer
Under-eye wrinkles in Gangnam are usually treated with eye-specific skin boosters such as Rejuran i, combined with gentle laser or RF tightening and, for smile creases, small doses of Botox. Boosters typically cost about ₩150,000 to ₩350,000 per session, with 1 to 3 days of minor swelling, and most plans involve 2 to 3 sessions 3 to 4 weeks apart. Results usually last 6 to 12 months.

Why get under-eye wrinkles treated in Korea?
The skin under your eyes is among the thinnest on your body, so it shows dryness, collagen loss and repeated squinting early. Korean dermatologists are used to treating this area gently, with low-energy settings and eye-specific products, which matters because aggressive treatment here can cause prolonged swelling or pigment changes.
A good assessment separates wrinkles from other under-eye problems. Hollows, puffiness and dark circles need different approaches, and treating the wrong one wastes time on a short trip.
Types of under-eye wrinkles treated
- Dehydration lines: fine crisscross lines that soften with hydration and boosters.
- Crepey skin: thin, papery texture from collagen loss.
- Dynamic lines: creases that appear when you smile, linked to the orbicularis muscle.
- Lower eyelid folds: deeper lines combined with mild laxity.
Most popular under-eye wrinkle treatments in Korea
1. Skin boosters
Eye-specific polynucleotide boosters, such as Rejuran i, are injected in tiny amounts to thicken and hydrate thin skin. Read more in our under-eye rejuvenation guide.
2. Laser tightening
Low-density fractional lasers create micro-injuries that prompt new collagen. Expect redness for 2 to 4 days.
3. RF treatments
Radiofrequency with an eye tip, such as Thermage eye, tightens the upper and lower lids. Usually a single session per year.
4. Botox
A small, carefully placed dose softens smile-related creases. Too much can cause puffiness, so conservative dosing is key.
5. Collagen-stimulating care
Microneedling and gentle collagen boosters support gradual improvement over several months.

Why Gangnam?
Gangnam clinics stock a wide range of eye boosters and devices, so you can combine treatments in one visit. Many offer English coordinators, and you can usually find a same-week appointment. If your concern is mostly the outer corners, our crow's feet guide covers that area in detail; if shadows bother you more than lines, see dark circles treatment.
How many sessions are needed?
Boosters usually need 2 to 3 sessions three to four weeks apart. Fractional laser is often repeated 3 times monthly. RF eye treatments are typically done once and repeated yearly. On a one-week trip, a booster plus Botox or RF is a sensible start.
Aftercare
- Sleep with your head slightly raised the first night to limit puffiness.
- Avoid rubbing your eyes and skip eye makeup for 24 hours.
- Use a bland, fragrance-free eye cream and pause retinoids for a few days.
- Wear sunglasses and sunscreen to protect healing skin.
Small bumps from boosters usually settle within a day or two, so most people are comfortable flying by day three.

Patient questions
Frequently asked questions
What is the best treatment for under-eye wrinkles?
For fine, crepey lines, eye-specific skin boosters are often the starting point. Smile creases may also benefit from a small dose of Botox.
Is under-eye filler used for wrinkles?
Not usually. Filler treats hollows, not fine lines, and too much can look puffy in thin skin.
How long does swelling last?
Typically one to three days after boosters and two to four days after fractional laser.
How much does treatment cost?
Eye boosters are commonly about ₩150,000 to ₩350,000 per session; RF eye treatments cost more.
Can I wear contact lenses after treatment?
Usually yes for boosters, but ask your doctor, especially after laser or RF near the eyes.
