Puffy Eyes Treatments in Korea: Your Comprehensive Guide

Korea is at the forefront of advanced aesthetic and dermatological treatments, offering a wide array of effective solutions for puffy eyes. This common concern can make a face look tired and aged. Puffy eyes are often caused by fluid retention or the presence of under-eye fat bags. Korean clinics utilize a combination of cutting-edge lasers, specialized injectables, and advanced therapies to safely and effectively reduce puffiness, restoring a more refreshed, youthful, and vibrant appearance with minimal downtime.


What are Puffy Eyes?

Puffy eyes refer to the swelling or puffiness that occurs under the eyes. This condition can be a result of fluid retention in the delicate tissue under the eyes, often due to high sodium intake, lack of sleep, or allergies. As we age, the fat pads that cushion the eyes can also shift forward, creating a prominent bulge or "bag" under the eyes. In addition to these factors, genetics can predispose some individuals to having puffy eyes.


Popular Types of Puffy Eyes Treatments in Korea

  • Injections & Fillers:
  • Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers: For puffy eyes caused by a prominent tear trough, a small amount of HA filler can be injected to smooth the transition and make the puffiness less noticeable.
  • Fat-Dissolving Injections: For under-eye fat bags, specialized injections can be used to permanently dissolve the fat cells.
  • Lifting & Energy-Based Treatments:
  • Ulthera & Shurink (HIFU): These devices deliver focused ultrasound energy to tighten tissue and stimulate collagen, which can help lift and tighten the skin under the eyes.
  • Thermage FLX (RF): Uses radiofrequency technology to deeply heat the skin's collagen fibers, improving firmness and elasticity.
  • Specialized Skincare & Treatments:
  • Skin Boosters (e.g., Rejuran I): An injectable treatment that stimulates the skin's natural healing and collagen production, improving thickness and elasticity.
  • Lymphatic Drainage Massage: Gentle massages can help to improve circulation and reduce fluid retention.
