Rejuran i for the Eye Area: Fine Lines, Sessions, Prices

Rejuran i for under-eye skin: what it improves, what it cannot fix, how sessions and bruising work, and the exact listed prices at VOS Dermatology, Gangnam.

Dr. Hongseok Kim, board-certified dermatologist, holding skin-booster vials in the VOS consultation room, Gangnam

I'm Dr. Hongseok Kim, a board-certified dermatologist with 21 years in practice, and at VOS Dermatology in Gangnam I see each patient myself, from the first conversation to the last injection. The eye area is where I slow down the most. When visitors ask me about Rejuran i, they usually mean the fine lines and tired look under the eyes, so this article is only about that small, delicate zone.

Rejuran i is the eye-area version of Rejuran: a polynucleotide booster formulated for the thin skin under and around the eyes. It is used to improve fine lines, elasticity and overall skin quality there, and it can soften some types of dark circles. It does not fill a hollow or remove eye bags. This guide is for adults who want to know whether an under-eye booster is the right tool before they plan a trip to Seoul.

If you want the whole Rejuran family first — Healer, HB+ and the eye line side by side — read my complete Rejuran Korea guide. Here I focus on the questions that only apply around the eyes.

Why the eye area needs its own product

Under-eye skin is among the thinnest skin on the body. It moves thousands of times a day as you blink, squint and smile, and it has little oil to protect it. That is why fine lines, crepey texture and a tired look often show here before anywhere else.

A standard face booster placed the same way here would not suit that skin. Rejuran i uses polynucleotide, the salmon-derived material in all Rejuran lines, in a formula made for this area. The aim is the same as elsewhere — supporting the skin's own repair, elasticity and hydration — but the product and the technique are adjusted to thin tissue.

What Rejuran i can improve — and what it cannot

Rejuran i works on skin quality. Based on what the eye line is designed for, these are reasonable goals:

  • Fine lines and crepey texture under the eyes
  • Loss of elasticity, where skin wrinkles like tissue paper when you smile
  • Dryness and a dull, tired surface
  • Dark circles caused mainly by thin skin letting colour show through

These concerns belong to a different category, and a booster alone is unlikely to satisfy you:

  • A deep tear-trough hollow, which is lost volume
  • Puffy under-eye bags, which are usually fat pads that have moved forward
  • Brown pigmentation around the eyes
  • Hooded upper lids or a lowered brow, which are laxity problems

Worth knowing: Most "dark circles" are a mix of causes. If yours are mainly shadow from a hollow or pigment in the skin, improving skin quality will only soften them a little. I would rather tell you that before the needle than after three sessions.

Under-eye skin is the thinnest on the face, so I look at it closely before deciding whether Rejuran i is the right tool.

Which eye-area option fits which concern

Because the eye area has several different problems, our price list has several different eye-area items. The table below shows the documented options and what each is listed for. Prices are copied exactly from our official list in KRW before 10% VAT, apply to all nationalities, and may change; the current figures are on our pricing page.

Main concernOption on the VOS price listListed price (KRW, before VAT)
Fine lines, thin crepey skinRejuran Eye, 1 mL₩400,000
Same, larger amountRejuran Eye, from 3 mL₩300,000 per 1 mL
Under-eye hydration, fine lines, mild hollowingBelotero Revive, 1 mL₩800,000
Sunken eye areaJuvederm Volbella, 1 mL₩700,000
Eye-area skin quality and structural supportJuveàcell 8%, 1 vial₩1,000,000
Upper-lid firmness and fine periocular wrinklesThermage FLX Eye, 450 shots₩2,200,000

The total for Rejuran i depends mostly on how many mL your eye area needs and how many sessions you have. For a small area, 1 mL may be enough; when both eyes and the crow's-feet area are treated, more is usually needed. I tell you the amount before we start, and the prices are before 10% VAT.

What a Rejuran i session is like

The visit starts with a consultation and a close look at the skin, including our 3D skin analysis. Then numbing cream goes on and needs time to work. The injections themselves are quick; the whole session takes about 30 minutes.

I place very small amounts with fine needles, close to the surface, point by point. You will feel light stings and pressure. The area just under the lash line is often more sensitive than the cheek, so tell me if you want a pause.

Afterwards, small bumps along the injection points are normal and usually flatten within hours to a day. We use a cool pad for a few minutes before you leave. You can generally return to your plans the same day.

VOS signature treatments: skin boosters (Juvelook, Juvelook Volume, Juveacell, Hilo Wave, Gouri), hand-injected by the doctor, and lifting with original devices (Ultherapy Prime, Thermage FLX, Sofwave, Onda and Opus)
The two things I focus on: skin boosters I inject by hand, and lifting with original devices.

Bruising, swelling and aftercare around the eyes

The documented recovery after Rejuran is minor swelling, bruising or redness for 2–3 days. Around the eyes, bruising tends to show more easily, simply because the skin is thin and the small vessels sit close to the surface. Some people have none; others have a small mark that concealer covers after the first day. Individual reactions vary.

The aftercare is the same as for other Rejuran lines, with extra care not to rub:

  • Do not wash the area or apply make-up for 24 hours.
  • For about a week, skip saunas, intense exercise and alcohol.
  • Wear sunscreen diligently, including around the eyes.
  • Do not rub, press or massage the treated skin, and take out contact lenses gently.

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have an active eye or skin condition, we need to talk before anything is booked. If swelling increases after the second day or you notice anything that worries you, send us a message and a photo.

Sessions, timing and a trip to Seoul

The standard Rejuran protocol is three sessions at one-month intervals. Improvement usually appears within 12 weeks, and results last about six months, with maintenance afterwards. Those figures vary from person to person.

For visitors, this means making a choice. You can stay in Seoul for about two months, return for the later sessions, or have one session here and accept it as a partial result. If you want to understand what the skin looks like at each stage, I describe the week-by-week picture in my article on Rejuran before and after results.

Book the eye session early in your stay. A small bruise under the eye is harmless, but nobody wants it in the photos on the last day of a trip.

How I approach under-eye treatment at VOS

My first job is diagnosis. I look at the under-eye area in different light, with you looking up and down, and ask how the area changes through the day. That tells me whether the problem is skin quality, volume, pigment, laxity or a mix.

If it is mainly thin, finely lined skin, Rejuran i is a sensible choice, and the details of the product family are on our Rejuran treatment page. If a hollow is the main issue, a volume product is the more honest conversation. When the upper lid and brow are drooping, I discuss lifting with Ultherapy Prime, which our price list also offers as an eye-specific option; my guide to Ultherapy Prime in Korea explains how that device works.

Many under-eye plans end up combining one skin-quality step with one structural step. If you are comparing boosters in general, my overview of Korean skin boosters shows where the eye line sits among the other options.

The most useful thing you can send is a close, well-lit photo of your eyes in daylight, looking straight ahead, without make-up or a filter, plus one photo while smiling. Add your travel dates and whether you have had eye-area filler or boosters before, and when.

With that, I can tell you whether Rejuran i fits, whether something else would help more, and how many sessions your schedule allows. The clinic is in front of Dosan Park and is closed on Wednesdays, Sundays and public holidays.

Results, timing and recovery vary from person to person. Nothing here replaces an in-person consultation with a dermatologist.

Send your photos and dates on WhatsApp, and our team will reply with a clear plan and quote before anything is scheduled.

FAQ

Questions readers ask about rejuran i

Is Rejuran i the same as Rejuran Eye?
Yes. Rejuran i is the name used on our treatment page for the eye-area line, and the price list calls it Rejuran Eye. It is a polynucleotide formula made for the thin skin under and around the eyes, used for fine lines, elasticity and overall skin quality. It is a separate product from Rejuran Healer, which is used across the face and neck.
Will Rejuran i remove my dark circles?
It depends on why they are dark. When thin, crepey skin lets the colour underneath show through, improving skin quality can soften the shadow. When the darkness comes from pigment, a hollow tear trough or puffy fat pads, a skin booster alone will do little. I check which type you have before recommending anything, because the plan differs for each.
How much bruising should I expect around the eyes?
Minor swelling, bruising or redness for 2–3 days is possible after Rejuran, and the eye area tends to show it more easily because the skin is thin and has many small vessels. Many people have only small marks that concealer covers after the first day. Plan the session early in a trip rather than right before photos or a flight.
How many Rejuran i sessions do I need?
The documented protocol for Rejuran is three sessions at one-month intervals, with improvement usually appearing within 12 weeks and results lasting about six months. One session on a short trip can help hydration and texture a little, but it is a partial course. I will tell you what a single visit is realistically likely to change.
Can Rejuran i be combined with other eye treatments?
Often, yes, but the order matters. A booster improves the quality of the under-eye skin, while upper-lid laxity and brow position are lifting questions handled by energy devices, and a deep hollow is a volume question. I decide the combination and spacing after examining you, rather than adding treatments by default.
