Home › Skin Concerns › Under-Eye Hollows
Under-eye hollows, dark circles and eye wrinkles are changes in the thin skin and soft tissue around the eyes that make you look tired or older than you feel. At Yaan Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, these concerns are treated without surgery using under-eye filler, collagen-stimulating Juvelook Eye, Rejuran skin boosters, Thermage FLX with an eye tip and non-incisional eye thread lifting.
The eye area is delicate and full of small blood vessels, so careful diagnosis and technique matter more here than almost anywhere else on the face.
What causes under-eye hollows and dark circles?
Under-eye hollows usually come from volume loss and the natural tear-trough groove, while dark circles can be caused by shadowing, visible blood vessels through thin skin, or pigmentation. Many people have more than one cause.
- Hollows and tear troughs – fat and bone support thin with age, creating a groove that casts a shadow.
- Thin, crepey skin – collagen loss makes the skin translucent, so vessels show and fine lines form.
- Pigmented dark circles – brownish discoloration, often genetic or from rubbing and sun.
- Sunken upper lids and drooping outer corners – volume loss above the eye and laxity of the brow and lid.
Puffy under-eye bags caused by protruding fat are different again. They may need surgery, and filler can sometimes make them look worse, which is why Yaan Clinic assesses the eye area in detail first.
Which treatments help under-eye hollows, dark circles and eye wrinkles?

Is under-eye filler or Juvelook Eye better?
Under-eye filler adds volume to a hollow, while Juvelook Eye mainly improves skin quality, texture and elasticity through collagen stimulation. Deep tear troughs often need filler; thin, lined skin with mild hollowing often suits Juvelook Eye.
Yaan Clinic states that Juvelook Eye uses finer particles (20 μm) than standard Juvelook (24 μm) or Juvelook Volume (40 μm), and is prepared with a controlled hydration system to reduce the risk of nodules. Some patients combine both, with the filler for structure and Juvelook Eye for skin.
Can dark circles be removed completely?
Dark circles can usually be improved, but rarely erased completely, because genetics, skin thickness and blood vessels play a part. Shadow-type circles respond best to volume treatment; thin-skin circles to boosters; pigment-type circles may need a laser approach.
For brownish pigmentation, your doctor may discuss Yaan's Personal Brightening laser program. For overall tone concerns, see our dull and uneven skin tone guide.
Is under-eye filler safe?
Under-eye filler is generally safe in experienced hands, but the area carries a risk of bruising, swelling and, rarely, vascular complications. Technique, product choice and knowledge of vessel anatomy reduce that risk.
Yaan Clinic plans injections around blood vessels using an AccuVein infrared vein finder and blunt microcannulas, and uses high-purity products with strict quality control. Read more on our genuine products and safety page.
Good to know: Hyaluronic acid fillers can usually be dissolved with hyaluronidase if needed. Effects and complications vary between people, and your doctor will explain the risks for your eye shape before treatment.
What combinations does Yaan Clinic suggest for the eye area?
A common plan pairs a volume treatment with a skin-quality treatment, and adds Botox if crow's feet are a concern. Your doctor will confirm the right combination.
- Filler plus booster – under-eye filler for hollows, Juvelook Eye or Eye Rejuran for thin skin.
- VIP Collagen Package – includes Eye Rejuran 2 cc, Skinvive 2 cc, one Re2O session and Skin Botox (Xeomin), listed at 2,300,000 KRW (excl. VAT).

Frequently asked questions
What is the best treatment for under-eye hollows?
Deep tear-trough hollows often respond best to a carefully placed hyaluronic acid filler, while thin, crepey skin with mild hollowing may suit Juvelook Eye or Eye Rejuran. Yaan Clinic assesses volume, skin thickness and vessel position before recommending one or a combination.
How long does under-eye filler last?
Hyaluronic acid filler in the under-eye area typically lasts many months, though duration varies by product, placement and metabolism. Yaan Clinic does not publish a fixed figure for its eye filler, so your doctor will explain expected longevity for the product chosen at consultation.
Can filler make under-eye bags worse?
Yes, if bags are caused by protruding fat rather than hollowing, filler can exaggerate them. That is why Yaan Clinic analyzes the eye area before treatment. Fat-type bags may be better addressed by surgery, and your doctor will tell you honestly.
Is Juvelook Eye painful?
Most people feel mild stinging or pressure, and numbing is commonly used for injectable treatments. Yaan Clinic also offers AirNox inhaled sedation for comfort with many procedures. Discuss pain management with your doctor before treatment.
How soon can I fly after under-eye treatment?
Flying is generally fine after injectables, but bruising or swelling can last a few days. Many international patients schedule eye treatments early in their stay so they can attend the follow-up check and let swelling settle before going home.
