Erbium + Eye Ultherapy
A consultation option combining Erbium under-eye fat repositioning with Ultherapy PRIME. Surgery and energy treatment have different roles and treatment areas; the need for each is assessed first. Surgical extent, energy-treatment area, shots, tip, order and interval are planned after examination. Same-day treatment or energy application directly over a surgical site is not a standard promise.
Erbium + Eye Ultherapy is available at QD Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, Korea.
is this for me
Who it’s for
Even if none of these describes you, we will look again at the consultation.
- Combined Erbium consultation assessing under-eye fat, tear troughs and skin concerns separately.
- Eye Ultherapy PRIME uses ultrasound imaging to assess brow laxity and supporting tissue, with a modest brow lift as a possible goal. Avoid the eyes, eyelids and inside the orbital rim. A shallower transducer does not make direct eyelid treatment appropriate. Examination distinguishes protruding fat, hollows, skin laxity, pigmentation and eyelid function. A combination is not necessary for everyone; a single treatment or another approach may suit you better.
Suitability requires an examination. Skin thickness, health and previous procedures may make a different approach more appropriate.
start with your concern
Before you pick a treatment name, start with the cause of your concern.
Even a treatment with the same name takes on a different role and scope depending on your current structure, the change you want, what you have had before and the recovery time you have.
Where you are now, and where we start
Whether the under-eye fat and tear trough need surgery, and how much eye-area laxity Eye Ultherapy PRIME should address

Health information and recovery schedule
Bruising, swelling, dryness or irritation can occur after surgery. Follow individual instructions for wound care, makeup, exercise and contact lenses; reviews check healing and eyelid function. Heat, pain, redness, swelling and tenderness can occur. Recovery depends on the person and area; burns or persistent sensory changes are possible. Severe eye pain or visual changes need urgent assessment. The Ultherapy PRIME IFU warns to avoid the eyes, eyelids and area within the orbital rim, and to prevent ultrasound reaching the eye. The Eye Ultherapy menu name does not imply direct eyelid treatment; the area and wound status require assessment. Sudden visual change, severe eye pain or rapidly increasing swelling require urgent care. Combining procedures does not guarantee faster recovery or additional benefit. Early swelling is not the final result. Healing, eyelid function and skin response guide review timing and any further treatment.

the qd standard
The same treatment, never the same plan.
Rather than a fashionable name or a fixed package, we weigh the structure found at examination, safety, recovery and the limits within one plan.
- DIAGNOSIS FIRST
Cause before name
We first separate out the tissue and the function behind your concern.
- LESS, PRECISE
Only as much as needed
Rather than an excessive change, we plan the smallest scope with a clear role.
- HONEST LIMIT
The limits, explained too
We explain the change you can expect, the alternatives, individual differences and the risks.

Look at the examination and the plan rather than the treatment name. First, what the clinic checks before deciding — at QD Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, the first thing we look at for this treatment is “Whether the under-eye fat and tear trough need surgery, and how much eye-area laxity Eye Ultherapy PRIME should address”. Second, whether it explains why it recommends that scope and method, compared with the alternatives. Third, whether it reviews your progress with you when results are expected. Our doctor goes through these three points at consultation before the treatment is decided.
At QD Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, South Korea. We are at 3F, 502 Gangnam-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (Nonhyeon-dong, Seohee Building), a 4-minute walk from Exit 3 of Nonhyeon or Sinnonhyeon Station. Call +82-2-514-1650 or use the consultation form on this site to book a doctor’s consultation first.

SurgeryErbium Under-Eye Fat Repositioning
qd erbium under-eye fat repositioningUnder-eye fat repositioning treats eye bags by moving the fat that bulges under the eye down into the hollow of the tear trough, smoothing the transition between the lid and cheek. At QD Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, this is performed through the inside of the lower eyelid (transconjunctival) using an erbium laser rather than a blade, so there is no external skin incision. It is carried out under local anesthesia. (Results vary by individual.)
