Eye Wrinkle Treatments in Gangnam, Seoul
From expression lines around the eyes to wrinkles made more noticeable by dryness and reduced firmness, GU Clinic Gangnam explains the differences between Eye Thermage and Rejuran I—and when each treatment may be considered.
Hello,
I’m Dr. Ki-beom Park, Chief Medical Director of GU Clinic Gangnam.
Fine lines that once disappeared as soon as you stopped smiling may gradually begin to linger.
You may also notice that they look more pronounced after applying makeup.
The eye area is constantly moving as we blink and make facial expressions.
The skin is also thin and has fewer sebaceous glands, making it more prone to dryness.
As the skin gradually loses moisture retention and firmness,
fine lines may remain visible even when your face is at rest.
If you are exploring treatments for fine lines around the eyes in Seoul or Gangnam,
it is helpful to identify whether the main cause is facial movement,
reduced skin firmness, or dryness before choosing a specific procedure.
"Why Do Fine Lines Appear
Around the Eyes So Early?"
Fine lines around the eyes can be influenced by several factors,
including repeated blinking and facial expressions,
sun exposure, dryness, and changes in collagen.
Lines that once appeared only when you smiled may gradually remain
visible as these changes accumulate over time.
It is important to distinguish between lines caused mainly by facial movement,
a dry and crepey skin texture, and laxity affecting the upper and lower eyelids.
The right approach may differ depending on how much facial movement
and loss of firmness contribute to the concern.
Under-eye hollowness or protruding fat can also cast shadows that make fine lines appear deeper.
In these cases, treating the fine lines alone may not create the expected change.
The thickness of the skin, amount of fat, degree of hollowness,
and asymmetry around the eyes should also be assessed.
"Eye Thermage in Gangnam for
Reduced Firmness Around the Eyes"
Eye Thermage uses a dedicated eye tip
to deliver radiofrequency energy to the eyelids and surrounding skin.
The heat generated within the tissue supports collagen remodeling
and may help improve the appearance of mild skin laxity and fine lines around the eyes.
Eye Thermage may be considered when the skin around the eyes looks loose even at rest,
when the upper eyelids have begun to lose firmness, or when the skin beneath the eyes forms fine folds.
Because the skin around the eyes is thin and close to the eye itself, careful treatment planning is essential.
The treatment area, energy level, and number of pulses should be adjusted
after evaluating the shape of the eyes, skin thickness, amount of fat, and degree of hollowness.
Temporary redness, swelling, or warmth may occur after treatment.
Recovery may vary depending on the individual’s skin condition.
"Rejuran I in Gangnam for Thin,
Dry Skin Around the Eyes"
If dryness and rough texture are as noticeable as the loss of firmness,
Rejuran I may be considered as part of your treatment plan.
Also known as Eye Rejuran, Rejuran I is a PN-based injectable treatment designed for the delicate eye area.
It is used to support overall skin quality concerns such as hydration, texture, and fine lines.
While Eye Thermage uses radiofrequency energy to address skin firmness,
Rejuran I focuses on improving the condition of thin, dry skin around the eyes.
Its role differs from that of a dermal filler, which is used to add immediate volume to hollow areas.
Rejuran I is not intended to create a dramatic change in the shape of the eye area.
When the skin is thin or sensitive, the injection depth, amount, and spacing should be carefully adjusted.
"Should Eye Thermage
and Rejuran I Be Combined?"
The two treatments do not perform the same role.

Rejuran I: PN-based treatment focused on overall skin quality(👉Learn More)
If thin, less firm skin is accompanied by dryness and rough texture,
the two approaches may be combined as part of a personalized plan.
However, not everyone with fine lines around the eyes needs both treatments.
If reduced firmness is the main concern, Eye Thermage may take priority.
If dryness and changes in skin texture are more noticeable, Rejuran I may be the primary focus.
Whether the treatments should be combined, the order in which they are performed,
and the interval between them will depend on the condition of the eye area and the patient’s schedule.
If you are looking for treatment for fine lines around the eyes in Seoul or Gangnam,
begin by identifying the change that is most noticeable rather than choosing several procedures at once.
When fine lines remain visible after even the smallest facial expression,
assessing skin thickness, firmness, dryness, and hollowness can be the first step
toward creating a natural-looking eye area.
