Dark Circles

Dark circles have three main causes: hollowness, thin skin and pigment. Val:U Clinic treats hollows with under-eye filler from KRW 220,000, thin crepey skin with Eye Rejuran from KRW 170,000 or Laetigen, and pigment with gentle toning.

Common causes

Why it happens

  • Hollowness (tear trough)
  • Thin skin showing vessels underneath
  • Pigmentation
  • Puffiness or eye bags

Our approach

Diagnosis first

The same-looking problem can have different causes, so a doctor examines your skin before recommending anything. Most people get the best result from a combination, planned around the time you have in Seoul.

Dark Circles FAQ

Can filler fix all dark circles?

No. Filler helps hollowness. Pigment needs laser and thin skin needs boosters. Your doctor will check the cause first.
