Fine lines, dullness, texture Eye area skin booster injection Improved texture, brighter under-eye, reduced fine lines
Under-eye fat pads (eye bags) Requires individual assessment Injection or surgical options depending on evaluation

Why Periorbital Injections Require Extra Caution

The periorbital area has one of the highest vascular densities in the face, making it one of the higher-risk zones for filler injections. Improper technique can lead to vascular occlusion or other serious complications. This is why deep anatomical knowledge and injection precision are absolutely critical — and why choosing a director-only clinic with extensive periorbital experience matters so much.

✦ Rappoel’s director has 18+ years of periorbital injection expertise with in-depth knowledge of periorbital vascular anatomy.

✦ Every patient receives an individualized periorbital assessment before any injection plan is designed.

✦ All treatments are personally performed by the director — no delegation to assistants or nurses.

Tear Trough vs Periorbital Filler: What’s the Difference?

Tear Trough Filler

The tear trough is the groove running from the inner corner of the eye toward the cheek, often creating a shadowed, hollow look as subcutaneous fat depletes and skin loosens with age. HA filler in the tear trough restores volume, eliminates shadow, and creates a more rested, youthful appearance. Results are immediate and most suitable for patients with classic tear trough hollowing.

Periorbital / Orbital Rim Filler

Some patients have concerns that extend beyond the tear trough — overall orbital rim prominence or excessive sub-malar hollowing creating a skeletal appearance. Periorbital filler at the periosteal layer addresses the broader orbital frame, creating softer, more naturally voluminous results. This is an advanced technique requiring more precise anatomical knowledge than standard tear trough injection.

Eye Area Skin Booster Injection

For under-eye dullness, fine lines, and poor skin texture, micro-injections of HA or activated compounds into the superficial skin layer of the under-eye area improve texture, brighten skin tone, and reduce fine lines. Works synergistically with filler treatments for comprehensive under-eye rejuvenation.

Before and After Care

Before Treatment

  • Disclose any prior eye surgery history
  • Inform the doctor of current medications
  • Avoid blood-thinning medications or supplements before treatment

After Treatment

  • Avoid rubbing the eye area for 24 hours
  • Mild swelling or bruising may occur — typically resolves in 3–5 days
  • Avoid sleeping face-down; keep the eye area clean
  • Contact the clinic immediately if you experience abnormal swelling, vision changes, or skin discoloration

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is tear trough filler safe?
Yes, when performed by a doctor with extensive periorbital injection experience. The critical factor is choosing a director-only clinic with deep anatomical expertise. Rappoel’s director has 18+ years of periorbital injection experience.
Q: How long does under-eye filler last?
Tear trough filler typically lasts 9–18 months. Eye area skin booster lasts approximately 3–6 months. Duration depends on individual metabolism and the specific product used.
Q: Can I fly home the same day as tear trough filler?
Generally yes. Inform the director of your travel schedule — they will advise on expected recovery and signs to watch for after returning home.
Q: Will filler help with dark circles?
Shadow-type dark circles (caused by tear trough hollowing — the most common type) respond very well to filler. Pigment-type dark circles (brown) or vascular dark circles (bluish-purple) have limited response to filler and require other treatments. The director will assess your dark circle type during consultation.
Q: Can under-eye filler be combined with other treatments in the same visit?
Yes. Many patients combine tear trough filler with nose bridge or chin filler in the same appointment. The director will recommend the optimal combination and sequencing.
Q: What makes Rappoel the right clinic for periorbital filler?
The director’s 18+ years of periorbital injection experience, director-only treatment policy, individualized approach to each patient’s unique anatomy, and full Mandarin-speaking service make Rappoel one of the most trusted options for under-eye treatments in Seoul.
