Aegyo-sal Filler vs. Under-Eye Filler: What Is the Difference?
Aegyo-sal filler injects a small amount of filler into the aegyo-sal area just below the eyes to create a sense of fullness, while under-eye filler fills the hollowed area where under-eye hollows or dark circles appear. Both treatments work around the eyes, but their purpose and injection location differ. Aegyo-sal filler focuses on creating "larger, younger-looking eyes," and under-eye filler is used to refresh an eye area that looks tired.

Prices can vary depending on the area and the amount used, and it is best to ask for the exact amount after a consultation.
When Under-Eye and Aegyo-sal Filler Are Combined
When under-eye hollows are deep and there is little aegyo-sal, the two treatments are sometimes done on the same day. Because they are injected into different layers, combining them is possible in principle, but the skin under the eyes is thin and close to blood vessels, so the order of treatment and the design of the amount injected are important. At Repic Clinic in Gangnam, the 3D Design Filler approach, which considers facial contour and dimension together, is applied, so a design that takes the overall balance into account is possible as well as treating the eye area alone.
Precautions to Check Before Treatment
The under-eye and aegyo-sal areas have thin skin and dense lymph and blood vessels, so they require the practitioner's anatomical understanding. Bruising and swelling can occur after treatment, and these mostly settle within a few days. Injecting too much volume can look unnatural or leave swelling for a long time, so adjusting to an appropriate amount is the key. To help prevent intravascular injection, it is a good idea to check at the consultation whether a blunt-tip cannula is used and whether aspiration is performed.
Avoid alcohol, excessive exercise and saunas on the day of treatment, and do not press or massage the treated area firmly. Results may vary depending on each person's skin condition, bone structure and the amount injected.
FAQ
Can I have aegyo-sal filler and under-eye filler on the same day?
In many cases combining them on the same day is possible, but because both areas are around the eyes, the design of the amount and the order of treatment affect the result. Whether to proceed on the same day is decided according to the depth of the under-eye hollow and the target volume for the aegyo-sal, and it is recommended to confirm suitability through a consultation first.
How much does under-eye volume treatment cost at Repic Clinic in Gangnam?
It can vary depending on the amount used and whether other treatments are combined, and it is best to confirm the exact information at an in-person consultation.
What side effects can occur after under-eye filler?
The most common reactions are bruising and swelling, and most ease within 3 to 7 days. Rarely, filler lumps, the Tyndall effect (the skin looking bluish) and vessel compression can occur. If abnormal reactions persist, it is important to contact the clinic where you were treated immediately. Results may vary from person to person.
