Dermatology clinics that specialize in eyelid fillers! What about dosage? Effects? Side effects?

Hello,
This is Hev Dermatology Clinic.

This post was written in accordance with the Medical Service Act and was created by a medical institution operated by a board-certified dermatologist at Hev Clinic, with the consent of the patient who received treatment.
It is not intended to emphasize treatment effects or personal treatment experiences, but rather to provide general information about dermatology and aesthetic procedures.
The photos used in this post meet the following conditions:

The same individual appears in both the before and after photos.
The dates when the photos were taken before and after treatment are specified.
The photos were taken under the same conditions.

This post provides various medical information, including possible side effects that may occur from the procedure. In accordance with Article 56, Paragraph 2, Subparagraph 7 of the Medical Service Act, diagnoses and treatment results may vary depending on the individual, and both effects and side effects may differ from person to person.
※ This article was written directly by the director of Hev Clinic for the purpose of providing information about dermatologic and aesthetic procedures.

These days, our clinic has been fully focused on skin boosters, fillers, and lifting treatments.

The effects of any procedure may vary, and it’s important to have thorough consultation beforehand regarding possible side effects (such as pigmentation, bruising, or swelling).

When it comes to skin boosters, Juvederm and Juvederm Voluma come to mind.
In 2024, our clinic was the only one in the region to receive a master certification for these products.
During this year’s “1 million vial event,” our clinic ranked within the top 100 nationwide in usage, despite being open for only a year and a half.

Radiesse is another product we can’t overlook.
Our clinic was the first in the region designated as a training center for Radiesse, so we actively perform procedures and teach courses on it.

Skin boosters like Juvederm Voluma and Radiesse are injected into the skin using a cannula, a long tube-like needle.
If filler is attached to the cannula, filler procedures can also be performed, which allows us to offer a variety of filler treatments.

Because of this, our clinic also performs specialized filler procedures, including lip fillers.

You might think:
“Lip fillers? Everyone does those, that’s not really a special area, right?”

For younger patients in their 20s and 30s, lip lines are naturally beautiful, and the skin around the mouth is firm, so it’s hard to go wrong.
But as patients reach their 60s and 70s, it’s not so simple.

At that age, we need to consider not just the lips but the entire area around the mouth.
Choosing the right filler and designing the treatment appropriately becomes even more important.

Thanks to this approach, I was honored to receive an academic award from the Korean Dermatological Association.
There were many incredible presentations by other directors, and I thought, “Do I really deserve this? I need to do even better,” but it was truly an honor.

So, we’ve been performing both very popular and very unique, rare treatments simultaneously.
There are areas that most dermatology or plastic surgery clinics don’t treat because they are so specialized and rare.
I rarely post about these on blogs or social media, so I’m always amazed when patients somehow find us.

Do they hear about it by word of mouth?
Are they referred?

Anyway, there is one filler area we see consistently: the eyelid (upper eyelid) filler.

F/55
When she’s tired, her eyes look very hollow and sunken.

A common characteristic of people who have little fat above the eyelids, or whose fat decreases with age,

is that their eyes look more sunken or hollow, especially when they’re tired or by the evening.

So, how can we fill in these deeply hollowed areas, like a deflated tire?

The answer is simple: filler.

Each filler product has different properties—how firm it is, the size of its particles, and so on—
much like how people have different body types and personalities.

Similarly, our skin varies from person to person:
some have thick skin, some thin; some have sagging skin, some firm.

Age also varies, of course.

Therefore, fillers need to be chosen according to each individual’s unique skin,
and the procedure must be tailored to fit that specific skin type.

Before vs. after eyelid filler for sunken eyes.

I remember how happy they were, saying it felt like they were seeing the shape of their eyes from their 30s again.

(For some reason, that comment made my heart swell—guess I’m naturally an emotional type, haha.)

The downside is that the eyelid area itself is very small and narrow,
so the amount of filler that can be safely used is limited.
(+) Because the area moves a lot, it often requires small, frequent touch-ups.

Since this area is so important—both functionally and aesthetically,
and because it’s the first place people notice when they see someone—
it’s essential to consult with an experienced specialist
to ensure the procedure is safe and looks beautiful.

Thank you.
