Hello.
I am Dr. Kim Dong-young, Director of Cleor Clinic Hongdae Branch.
Have you ever experienced dark shadows under your eyes in photos despite getting enough sleep, or found that concealer doesn't fully cover the dark areas?
"It doesn't look like pigmentation, but my under-eye area feels dark and sunken. Even with makeup, it's hard to cover and seems to get deeper over time."
Under-eye shadows are often caused by structural changes rather than pigmentation.
As the sub-orbicularis oculi fat (SOOF) atrophies and dermal collagen decreases, the surface becomes subtly depressed, creating an environment where shadows are cast.
When this is combined with the weakening of the orbicularis oculi muscle and supporting ligaments, dark circles appear due to structural factors rather than pigment.
The Hongdae under-eye hollow care approach involves inducing autologous collagen production in the thin under-eye dermal layer to gradually fill the inner structure.
Today, I will summarize the structural changes that cause under-eye hollows and the treatment approaches available at our Hongdae branch.
What is Hongdae under-eye hollow care?
👉 Hongdae under-eye hollow care is a procedure that involves the precise injection of Juvelook Eye, from the Korean company Vaim Global, into the thin under-eye dermal layer to stimulate fibroblasts and induce autologous collagen production.
Juvelook Eye is a line based on PDLLA (Poly-D,L-Lactic Acid) collagen boosters, specifically adjusted in viscosity for the eye area.
Designed with a thinner viscosity than general PDLLA boosters, it is known to distribute evenly in the thin dermal layer with a relatively lower risk of nodules.
Once the injected PDLLA particles settle in the dermal layer, fibroblasts gather around the particles and begin to activate.
As autologous collagen and elastin are gradually produced, the inner structure is filled over time.
Causes of under-eye hollows
👉 Under-eye hollows are reported as a result of the combination of sub-orbital fat atrophy, decreased dermal collagen, SOOF changes, and weakening of the orbicularis oculi muscle and ligaments.
Sub-orbital fat atrophy
There is a sub-orbital fat pad located under the eyes.
As this fat atrophies with age, the surface appears sunken, creating a noticeable step-off from the surrounding areas.
Decrease in dermal collagen and elastin
The under-eye area is one of the thinnest skin areas on the face.
When dermal collagen and elastin decrease, the surface appears thin, and blood vessels show through, resulting in a dark appearance.
SOOF (sub-orbital fat pad) changes and ligament weakening
When the orbicularis oculi muscle and supporting ligaments weaken, the position of the orbital fat changes.
The combination of surface depression and shadows creates an environment that looks like dark circles.
Since these structural factors are difficult to address with pigmentation care, filling the dermal layer itself is the recommended approach.
Technical features of Hongdae under-eye hollow care
👉 Hongdae under-eye hollow care is a procedure with four key features: fibroblast stimulation by PDLLA particles, viscosity adjusted for the eye area, gradual and natural changes, and a relatively low risk of nodules.
Fibroblast stimulation by PDLLA particles
When PDLLA particles are injected into the dermis, fibroblasts gather around the particles and begin to activate.
In this process, autologous collagen and elastin are gradually produced, creating an environment where the inner structure is reinforced over time.
Viscosity adjusted for the eye area
Juvelook Eye is a line specifically for the eye area, designed with a thinner viscosity than general PDLLA boosters.
It can be distributed evenly in the thin under-eye dermal layer, allowing it to work according to the characteristics of the area.
Gradual and natural changes
It is a procedure that settles gradually over 4 to 12 weeks, rather than providing an immediate change in volume.
It is reported as a natural change with little "obvious sign of having had a procedure."
Relatively low risk of nodules
Since PDLLA boosters work by having particles settle in the dermis, nodules (clumping) are rarely reported.
Although Juvelook Eye is known to have a relatively low risk of nodules due to its eye-specific viscosity, recommended post-procedure care such as massage affects the results.
Hongdae under-eye hollow care lineup
👉 At the Hongdae branch, we offer under-eye hollow care in 1-session and 3-session options using 2cc of Juvelook Eye.
While Juvelook Volume is also available at the Hongdae branch, the volume line has larger particle sizes and higher viscosity, which carries a relatively higher risk of nodules or clumping in the thin under-eye dermal layer.
For this reason, the Juvelook Eye line is recommended for the under-eye area, while Juvelook Volume is used for other areas with thicker dermis and fat layers, such as nasolabial folds or cheek hollows.
We will discuss the appropriate number of sessions for your under-eye condition and depth during the preliminary consultation.
Who is Hongdae under-eye hollow care suitable for?
Those whose under-eye shadows do not disappear even after getting enough sleep
Those whose dark circles are not well covered even with concealer
Those concerned about structural depression rather than pigmentation
Those who prefer gradual and natural recovery over immediate changes
Those looking for cumulative care through internal collagen production
Side effects and points to note for Hongdae under-eye hollow care
👉 Hongdae under-eye hollow care is a procedure where autologous collagen production settles through cumulative sessions rather than being completed in one go.
Immediately after the procedure, mild swelling, bruising, tiny marks, and temporary stinging may occur.
Since the under-eye area is the thinnest part of the face and has many capillaries, bruising may appear darker than in other areas and may take 1 to 2 weeks to be naturally absorbed.
Since PDLLA lines work by having particles settle in the dermis, nodules are rarely reported.
Juvelook Eye is an eye-specific line with adjusted viscosity, so the risk of nodules is relatively low, but consistent follow-up with recommended care such as massage affects the results.
Understanding that this is a procedure that settles gradually over 4 to 12 weeks, rather than expecting immediate volume changes, will help with satisfaction.
Please inform us in advance if any of the following apply, as the procedure may be restricted:
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding
If you have active inflammation, herpes, or infection in the treatment area
If you have autoimmune diseases, a keloid tendency, or a tendency to scar easily
If you are regularly taking medications that increase bleeding tendency
If you have a history of allergies to the ingredients of the procedure
⚠️ Precautions before and after Hongdae under-eye hollow care
👉 Hongdae under-eye hollow care requires care at each stage before and after the procedure, which affects recovery and the perception of results.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. Why is Juvelook Volume not used for Hongdae under-eye hollow care?
Juvelook Volume has larger particle sizes and higher viscosity, so it is recommended for areas with thicker dermis and fat layers. The under-eye area is the thinnest dermal area on the face, so applying the volume line increases the risk of nodules or clumping. Therefore, a line with viscosity adjusted specifically for the eye area, like Juvelook Eye, is recommended.
Q. When do the effects of Hongdae under-eye hollow care appear?
Juvelook Eye starts to show changes from 4 to 6 weeks and settles over 8 to 12 weeks. It is a procedure that gradually fills in as autologous collagen production accumulates, rather than providing an immediate change.
Q. How is Hongdae under-eye hollow care different from dark circle pigmentation care?
For dark circles caused by pigmentation, pigment care such as laser toning is recommended, while for dark circles caused by structural depression, collagen boosters like Juvelook Eye are recommended. If both causes are present, a step-by-step approach is common, and we will examine the cause of your dark circles during the preliminary consultation.
Q. Can nodules occur with Hongdae under-eye hollow care?
Nodules are rarely reported with PDLLA lines. Juvelook Eye is a line with a relatively low risk of nodules due to its eye-specific viscosity, but consistently performing the recommended post-procedure massage helps reduce the risk of nodules.
Q. How much pain is involved in Hongdae under-eye hollow care?
Applying numbing cream before the procedure is standard, and since it is a micro-injection method, stinging sensations may occur. Most report it as a tolerable level.
Q. How long does bruising last after Hongdae under-eye hollow care?
The under-eye area has many capillaries, so bruising may appear darker than in other areas and usually takes 1 to 2 weeks to be naturally absorbed. It is recommended to consider the timing of the procedure sufficiently before important events.
Q. How many sessions of Hongdae under-eye hollow care are needed?
It varies depending on the under-eye condition and depth, but changes tend to stabilize with cumulative sessions. The reason we offer a 3-session option is for step-by-step cumulative care, and we will determine the number of sessions suitable for your condition during the preliminary consultation.
Under-eye hollows are often not just a result of fatigue or pigmentation, but a combination of sub-orbital fat atrophy, decreased dermal collagen, and weakening of supporting structures.
Because surface pigment care alone has limitations in addressing structural depression, this is why collagen booster lines that act directly on the thin under-eye dermal layer have become established.
Hongdae under-eye hollow care is a procedure that induces autologous collagen production by precisely injecting Juvelook Eye from the Korean company Vaim Global into the thin under-eye dermal layer.
While Juvelook Volume is also available at the Hongdae branch, the volume line is not recommended for the thin under-eye area due to the risk of nodules or clumping, and is used for other areas with thicker dermis and fat layers, such as nasolabial folds or cheek hollows.
We will personally check the care direction suitable for your under-eye condition and the cause of your dark circles during the consultation.

⚠️ 홍대 눈밑 꺼짐 케어 시술 전후 주의사항
👉 홍대 눈밑 꺼짐 케어는 시술 전과 후 모두 시점별 관리가 회복과 결과 체감에 영향을 줍니다.
❓ 자주 묻는 질문 (FAQ)
Q. 홍대 눈밑 꺼짐 케어에 쥬베룩 볼륨을 쓰지 않는 이유가 있나요?
쥬베룩 볼륨은 입자 크기와 점도가 커 진피와 지방층이 두꺼운 부위에 권해지는 라인이에요.
눈밑은 얼굴에서 가장 얇은 진피 영역이라 볼륨 라인을 적용하면 결절·뭉침 가능성이 비교적 높아져,
쥬베룩 아이처럼 눈가 전용으로 점도가 조절된 라인이 권해지는 편입니다.
Q. 홍대 눈밑 꺼짐 케어 효과는 언제부터 보이나요?
쥬베룩 아이는 4~6주부터 변화가 시작되고 8~12주에 걸쳐 자리 잡는 흐름이에요.
즉각적인 변화보다는 자가 콜라겐 생성이 누적되면서 점진적으로 채워지는 시술입니다.
Q. 홍대 눈밑 꺼짐 케어와 다크서클 색소 침착 케어는 어떻게 다른가요?
색소 침착에서 오는 다크서클은 레이저 토닝 같은 색소 케어가 권해지고,
구조적 함몰에서 오는 다크서클은 쥬베룩 아이 같은 콜라겐 부스터가 권해지는 편이에요.
두 가지 원인이 함께 있는 경우 단계적으로 가져가는 흐름이 일반적이고
본인 다크서클의 원인은 사전 진료에서 함께 살펴봅니다.
Q. 홍대 눈밑 꺼짐 케어는 결절이 생길 수 있나요?
PDLLA 라인은 드물게 결절이 보고되는 경우가 있어요.
쥬베룩 아이는 눈가 전용 점도로 결절 가능성이 비교적 낮은 라인이지만
시술 후 안내된 마사지를 꾸준히 하시는 게 결절 가능성을 줄이는 데 도움이 됩니다.
Q. 홍대 눈밑 꺼짐 케어 통증은 어느 정도인가요?
시술 전 마취 크림 도포가 일반적이며
미세 주사 방식이라 따끔한 자극이 동반될 수 있어요.
대부분 참을 수 있는 수준으로 보고됩니다.
Q. 홍대 눈밑 꺼짐 케어 받고 멍은 얼마나 가나요?
눈밑은 모세혈관이 많은 영역이라
다른 부위보다 멍이 진하게 보일 수 있고 자연 흡수까지 1~2주가 필요한 편이에요.
중요한 일정 전에는 시술 시점을 충분히 고려하시는 게 좋습니다.
Q. 홍대 눈밑 꺼짐 케어는 몇 회 받아야 하나요?
눈밑 상태와 깊이에 따라 다르지만 누적 진행할수록 변화가 안정되는 편이에요.
3회 옵션이 운영되는 이유도 단계적 누적 케어를 위한 구조이고,
본인 상태에 맞는 회차는 사전 진료에서 함께 정리합니다.
눈밑 꺼짐은 단순히 피곤함이나 색소 침착이 아니라
안와하 지방 위축·진피 콜라겐 감소·지지 구조 약화가 함께 일어난 결과인 경우가 많습니다.
표면 색소 케어만으로는 구조적 함몰에 접근하기 어려운 한계가 있어
얇은 눈밑 진피층에 직접 작용하는
콜라겐 부스터 라인이 자리 잡은 이유이기도 해요.
홍대 눈밑 꺼짐 케어는 한국 바임글로벌사의 쥬베룩 아이를
얇은 눈밑 진피층에 정밀 주입해 자가 콜라겐 생성을 유도하는 시술이에요.
홍대점에서는 쥬베룩 볼륨도 함께 운영되고 있지만
볼륨 라인은 얇은 눈밑 부위에는 결절·뭉침 가능성으로 권해지지 않고
팔자주름이나 볼패임처럼 진피와 지방층이
두꺼운 다른 부위에 운영되는 라인입니다.
