Direct answer
You need to determine whether the reason your under-eyes look dark is due to the shadow from hollowness, pigmentation, blood vessels, or swelling. Not all dark circles can be resolved with dermal filler.
Before your consultation
- How do you distinguish between hollowness and skin color?
- Can under-eye swelling in the morning also be filled?
- Is it the same treatment area as aegyo-sal dermal filler?
General information, not a personal diagnosis or treatment plan. Suitability, risks and recovery require an individual consultation.
How do you distinguish between hollowness and skin color?
During the examination, we check whether the dark areas change depending on the direction of light or if the skin color itself persists. Volume correction with dermal filler does not replace pigmentation treatment. Injections around the eyes require particularly careful judgment, so make sure to get an explanation of both the expected benefits and vascular risks.

Can under-eye swelling in the morning also be filled?
Please let us know your usual under-eye swelling, daily changes, and allergy symptoms. There may already be a bulging treatment area along with a hollow underneath. Planning based only on the hollow does not consider the original swelling, so photos taken at different times of the day are helpful for consultation.
Is it the same treatment area as aegyo-sal dermal filler?
The purpose of creating the shape of the under-eye puffiness visible when smiling is different from the purpose of complementing the sunken area under the eyes. During the consultation, indicate the desired location with your hand. Simply using the term 'under the eyes' may lead to thinking of different treatment areas, so the range should be clearly defined.
What should be checked if the skin is thin?
Discuss the possibility that the filler may be visible or that the surface may feel uneven. You can also discuss whether leaving some degree of hollowness is acceptable for a natural result. Ask whether the goal of creating perfectly bright under-eyes in photos is appropriate for your skin.
What if I don’t know whether previous dermal filler remains?
Bring records showing the date and product of previous procedures. If there is existing swelling or unevenness, identifying the cause should come before additional injection. Do not dismiss changes in vision or sudden pain as common swelling during recovery; seek medical help immediately.
How do I make an appointment for a dark circle consultation at Dongseong-ro?
When making a reservation at Daegu Dongseong-ro, mention both the symptom of "dark under eyes" and the reason you want dermal filler. Whether the official dermal filler treatment list can actually be applied to the under-eye area needs to be confirmed, and based on the examination results, injection may not be recommended.
