Hello.
I am Dr. Kim Dong-young, Director of Cleor Clinic Hongdae Branch.
Have you ever stopped scrolling through photos your friend took of you because of one specific picture?
Even though it was a happy moment with a big smile, the lines around your eyes caught your attention, making you hesitate whether to delete the photo or not.
The eye area is a place that opens and closes thousands of times a day.
Every time you smile, squint at the sunlight, or stare at a screen for a long time, the muscles surrounding your eyes tighten, pulling the skin inward.
Furthermore, the skin around the eyes is among the thinnest on the face.
Even the same movement shows up more clearly on the surface.
This is why fine lines are often noticed in this area relatively early.
However, there is a specific point that many people worry about when approaching this area.
The eyes are responsible for the essential function of opening and closing, so people wonder if it is safe to perform procedures here.
Today, we will look at what Hongdae Eye Botox is, and examine the structure of why we can reduce the folding force while preserving the basic functions of the eyes.
What is Hongdae Eye Botox?
👉 Hongdae Eye Botox is a treatment that temporarily reduces the folding force by targeting only the outer part of the orbicularis oculi muscle—the muscle that surrounds the eye—which creates crow's feet when you smile.
Although the orbicularis oculi is a single muscle, it has different roles depending on the area.
The inner part near the eyelids is responsible for the basic action of opening and closing the eyes and the process of tear drainage.
The outer part, which broadly surrounds the eye, tightens significantly when you smile or squint, creating expressions.
The fan-like lines that appear at the corners of your eyes when you smile are movements created by this outer part.
Botulinum toxin prevents the neurotransmitters from being released at the nerve endings, which is the stage where the muscle receives the signal to move.
If the signal does not reach the muscle, the muscle's tightening force decreases, and the degree to which it pulls the skin inward also softens.
The lines around the eyes are a mixture of parts caused by facial expressions and parts caused by changes in skin thickness.
The toxin family addresses the former movement, while if thin skin itself is the main factor, we look at other directions such as Rejuran I or Juvelook I to address the skin condition.
Strengths of Hongdae Eye Botox
👉 Hongdae Eye Botox utilizes the fact that the orbicularis oculi muscle has different roles in different areas, allowing us to select and approach only the necessary parts.
First, we can address expressions while preserving function.
As mentioned earlier, the basic action of opening and closing the eyes and the process of tear drainage are handled by the inner part near the eyelids.
The force that folds the corners of the eyes when smiling comes from the outer part.
Therefore, by selecting and approaching only the outer area, we can reduce the folding force while leaving blinking and tear drainage intact.
There is often a concern that touching the eye area might make it difficult to close the eyes, but in reality, we determine the placement based on this functional division.
Second, because the diffusion distance is limited, we can define the range by location and depth.
Toxin acts only within a certain range centered on the injection point and does not easily spread beyond it.
The muscle that lifts the eyelid is located above the inner part of the eye.
Therefore, by placing it at a certain distance from the eye and in a shallow layer close to the skin, we can design it in a way that does not reach that muscle.
Where to place it and how deep to place it becomes the actual means of determining the range.
Third, since the movement returns over time, adjustments are possible.
As time passes, the nerve endings regain the function of releasing neurotransmitters, and the muscle movement gradually returns to its original state.This means it is not an irreversible change.
Rather than changing your expressions significantly from the start, it is possible to manage it by checking your smiling style and expression habits and then re-adjusting the placement at the next session.
Working Principle of Hongdae Eye Botox
👉 Hongdae Eye Botox temporarily stops the final stage where signals from nerves are transmitted to muscles.
Muscles do not move on their own.
When an electrical signal reaches the nerve ending, a neurotransmitter is released from the tip, and this substance must reach the receptors on the muscle for contraction to occur.
Botulinum toxin blocks the stage where the neurotransmitter is released outside the nerve ending.
Neither the nerves nor the muscles are damaged; it simply becomes a state where the signal between the two is temporarily disconnected.
The sequence of lines forming at the corners of the eyes when smiling is as follows:The outer orbicularis oculi muscle tightens, pulling the skin toward the corners of the eyes, and the thin skin around the eyes folds in the same direction in the same place.
Since the folding direction is almost fixed for each person, the same lines appear repeatedly.
When that force is lowered, the width of the gathering decreases, and the time the marks remain after relaxing your expression also shortens.
And this state is not maintained permanently.
As the nerve endings recover their function, the movement gradually returns, and at this point, we observe how the expression has changed to determine the next range.
This is why it is natural to manage it by observing the condition rather than changing it significantly at once.
Hongdae Eye Botox Procedure and Program
👉 Eye Botox is not divided by equipment, but the composition is determined by how much of the eye-closing force is preserved.The muscle surrounding the eye rim is responsible for the action of closing and blinking.
If you significantly reduce this muscle in one spot, the expression will smooth out.
However, the action of closing the eyes can easily become heavy.
Therefore, for the eye area, we use a distribution method where we divide it into several small points along the outer rim rather than concentrating it in one spot.
The number and interval of the points are determined by observing how far it folds when you smile.
The range that needs to be addressed is different for those who only fold at the corners of the eyes versus those who fold up to the cheekbones, and as the range widens, the amount placed at each point is actually reduced.
It is an area where the number of divisions changes the impression more than the total amount.
Even with the same amount, the naturalness that remains when smiling varies depending on how many points it is divided into.
The number of points is determined after checking the eye-closing force and eyelid thickness.
Who is Hongdae Eye Botox for?
Those whose crow's feet are particularly prominent in smiling photos
Those who are bothered by lines that remain around the eyes even after relaxing their expression
Those who squint frequently while looking at screens for a long time
Those who have started to notice eye makeup clumping along the lines around their eyes
Those who have been putting it off due to concerns about not being able to close their eyes properly
Types of Hongdae Botox
👉 Botox items are divided according to which muscle and movement are being addressed, and Eye Botox targets the outer orbicularis oculi muscle used when smiling.
The appropriate range is determined after checking the eye-closing force, the way you express yourself when smiling, and the thickness of your eyelids.
Side Effects and Precautions for Hongdae Eye Botox
👉 It is reported that most points to be aware of regarding Hongdae Eye Botox are temporary reactions that often subside over time.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. Will I have trouble closing my eyes if I get Hongdae Eye Botox?
A. The basic action of closing the eyes is handled by the inner part near the eyelids, and Eye Botox targets the outer part used when smiling.
Because we determine the placement and depth based on this functional division, we approach it in a way that preserves the opening and closing actions.
Q. Will my aegyo-sal (under-eye fat) disappear if I get Hongdae Eye Botox?
A. When we also look at the under-eye area, the prominence of the aegyo-sal may change.
If you want to preserve your aegyo-sal, we may limit the range to the corners of the eyes, excluding the area directly under the eyes.
Q. Can Hongdae Eye Botox be applied to fine lines under the eyes?
A. Fine lines under the eyes are often a mixture of expression factors and factors caused by thin skin.
We can approach the part caused by movement, but if the skin condition is the main factor, we look at other directions together.
Q. Does Hongdae Eye Botox return to its original state over time?
A. As the nerve endings regain the function of releasing neurotransmitters, the movement gradually returns.
It is not an irreversible change, and it is possible to manage it by re-adjusting while observing the condition.
Q. Can Hongdae Eye Botox, Rejuran I, and Juvelook I be done together?
A. There are cases where we approach them separately because they cover different areas.
Depending on whether muscle movement or skin condition is the greater factor, we look at the order and interval differently.
Q. Is there anything I should mention before Hongdae Eye Botox?
A. You must inform us in advance of any history of eye surgery, the timing of LASIK or LASEK, neuromuscular diseases, medications you are taking, and whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
As this is an area where eye function is involved, this check is placed first.
Hongdae Eye Botox is a treatment that relies on the fact that the orbicularis oculi muscle has different roles in different areas, allowing us to selectively reduce only the folding force when smiling.
By utilizing the property that the diffusion distance of the toxin is limited, we can determine the range in a way that preserves the function of opening and closing the eyes by placing it at a distance from the eye and in a shallow layer.
Because it is a treatment where movement gradually returns over time, you do not need to change it significantly from the start.
At Cleor Clinic Hongdae Branch, we check the eye-closing force, the way you express yourself when smiling, and the thickness of your eyelids together during the consultation to confirm which range is appropriate for you.
If you also have a habit of frowning, we may also look at Glabellar Botox.
If you have stopped scrolling at the same spot every time you look at a smiling photo, please feel free to have a conversation with us.

👉 홍대 눈가보톡스에서 미리 알아두실 점은 대부분 일시적인 반응이며, 시간이 지나며 가라앉는 경우가 많다고 보고됩니다.
⚠️ 홍대 눈가보톡스 시술 전후 주의사항
❓ 자주 묻는 질문 (FAQ)
Q. 홍대 눈가보톡스를 받으면 눈이 잘 안 감기나요?
A. 눈을 감는 기본 동작은 눈꺼풀에 가까운 안쪽 부분이 맡고 있고,
눈가보톡스는 웃을 때 쓰이는 바깥쪽 부분을 대상으로 합니다.
이 기능 분담을 전제로 자리와 깊이를 잡기 때문에
감고 뜨는 동작은 남겨 두는 방향으로 접근합니다.
Q. 홍대 눈가보톡스를 하면 애교살이 없어 보이나요?
A. 눈밑 범위를 함께 볼 때 애교살이 도드라지는 정도가 달라질 수 있습니다.
애교살을 살리고 싶으신 경우에는 눈밑을 제외하고 눈꼬리 중심으로만 범위를 잡기도 합니다.
Q. 홍대 눈가보톡스는 눈 밑 잔주름에도 적용되나요?
A. 눈 밑 잔주름은 표정 요인과 피부가 얇아진 요인이 섞인 경우가 많습니다.
움직임에서 비롯된 부분에는 접근할 수 있지만
피부 상태가 주된 요인이라면 다른 방향을 함께 봅니다.
Q. 홍대 눈가보톡스는 시간이 지나면 원래대로 돌아오나요?
A. 신경 말단이 전달 물질을 내보내는 기능을 되찾으면서 움직임이 서서히 돌아옵니다.
되돌릴 수 없는 변화가 아니라 상태를 보며 다시 잡아 가는 운용이 가능합니다.
Q. 홍대 눈가보톡스와 리쥬란 아이, 쥬베룩 아이는 같이 봐도 되나요?
A. 다루는 영역이 달라 나누어 접근하는 경우가 있습니다.
근육 움직임과 피부 상태 가운데 어느 쪽 비중이 큰지에 따라 순서와 간격을 다르게 봅니다.
Q. 홍대 눈가보톡스 전에 미리 말씀드려야 할 것이 있나요?
A. 눈 주변 수술 이력과 라식이나 라섹 시기, 신경근 질환,
복용 중인 약, 임신 및 수유 여부는 미리 알려주셔야 합니다.
눈 기능이 걸린 자리인 만큼 이 확인이 가장 앞에 놓입니다.
홍대 눈가보톡스는 눈둘레근이 자리마다 다른 일을 맡고 있다는 점에 기대어,
웃을 때 접히는 힘만 골라 덜어 내는 케어입니다.
톡신이 퍼지는 거리가 제한적이라는 성질을 이용해 눈에서 거리를 두고 얕게 두면,
눈을 뜨고 감는 기능은 그대로 남겨 두는 방향으로 범위를 잡을 수 있습니다.
시간이 지나면 움직임이 서서히 돌아오는 성격이라 처음부터 크게 바꾸지 않아도 됩니다.
클레오르의원 홍대점에서는 눈을 감는 힘과 웃을 때의 표정 방식,
눈꺼풀 두께를 함께 살펴 어느 범위가 적합한지 상담 시 직접 확인해 드립니다.
찡그리는 습관이 함께 있으시다면 미간보톡스를 이어서 보기도 합니다.
웃는 사진을 넘길 때마다 같은 자리에서 손이 멈추셨다면,
편하게 한 번 이야기 나눠보셔도 좋겠습니다.
