ULTRACOL 200

• Whether fine lines and texture are the main concern, and the under-eye area for ULTRACOL’s PDO microparticles, as distinct from a thread lift
• ULTRACOL is a PDO microparticle product and is different from under-eye thread lifting. We do not extend the purpose of use in its Korean product information, which concerns nasolabial folds, to the under-eye area as is. We look at under-eye skin thickness and previous injection history, and discuss both the areas where it can be used and alternatives.

Suitability requires an examination. Skin thickness, health and previous procedures may make a different approach more appropriate.

  The change you want, the impression you keep

  At consultation, we first look at whether fine lines and texture are the main concern, and the under-eye area for ULTRACOL’s PDO microparticles, as distinct from a thread lift.

ULTRACOL 200

Under-eye darkness may involve hollows, protruding fat, pigmentation or skin quality. Suitability is judged after checking the product’s approved use, the condition of your eyelids and previous treatments. Whether each product is injected directly under the eyes or used on the surrounding area is decided at the examination.

How it works

• 01

  What sets it apart

  PDO microparticles are different from inserting PDO lifting threads. Sharing a material family does not mean the procedures or results are the same.

• 02

  Assessing the change

  Collagen-stimulating treatments are assessed over weeks to months. How tight the skin feels on the treatment day is not used on its own to judge the effect. Rather than recommending a fixed number of sessions up front, we decide whether and how often to repeat from your skin condition, the specific product instructions and your response to the first treatment. Allow recovery time before an important event.

1. 01

   Start with the concern

   ULTRACOL is a PDO microparticle product and is different from under-eye thread lifting. We do not extend the purpose of use in its Korean product information, which concerns nasolabial folds, to the under-eye area as is. We look at under-eye skin thickness and previous injection history, and discuss both the areas where it can be used and alternatives.

2. 02

   Understand your product

   PDO microparticles are different from inserting PDO lifting threads. Sharing a material family does not mean the procedures or results are the same.

3. 03

   Plan through recovery

   Rather than expecting an immediate change like the pull of a thread lift, we look separately at swelling after injection and the tissue response that follows. We check whether the fine lines and surface changes under the eyes match your goal, and if any clumping remains, we do not proceed with additional treatment first. PDO microparticles also cannot be dissolved with an enzyme, so the interval before the next treatment is set after checking that the previous injection site has fully settled.

What the procedure is like

• Avoid strong irritation, overheating and strenuous exercise while the skin settles. Follow your individual instructions for when to resume face washing and makeup.
• Massage and pressure advice differs by product. Follow your clinician’s instructions rather than another product’s routine.
• Small bumps that appear right after injection and go down need to be distinguished from nodules that last a long time or appear later. If a firm lump persists or grows, or comes with pain or redness, seek medical care. Non-HA ingredients such as PDLLA, PLLA, PCL and PDO cannot be dissolved with hyaluronidase the way HA filler can.

Safety & considerations

Worsening pain, pale or mottled skin, visual symptoms or breathing difficulty need urgent medical attention. Outcomes and duration vary; a specific result is not guaranteed.

1. Immediately

   Initial swelling and fullness are not the final result.

2. Next steps

   Plan any further session only after assessing the response and recovery.

• Q. What is ULTRACOL 200 used for in the under-eye area?

  ULTRACOL uses biodegradable polydioxanone (PDO) microparticles. Its Korean product information describes temporary improvement of bilateral nasolabial folds. Dark circles can have mixed causes such as hollowing, pigmentation and visible blood vessels, so skin-texture treatment alone does not improve them all.

• Q. Is ULTRACOL 200 suitable for my under-eye area?

  ULTRACOL is a PDO microparticle product and is different from under-eye thread lifting. We do not extend the purpose of use in its Korean product information, which concerns nasolabial folds, to the under-eye area as is. We look at under-eye skin thickness and previous injection history, and discuss both the areas where it can be used and alternatives.

• Q. How many under-eye ULTRACOL 200 sessions will I need?

  Rather than expecting an immediate change like the pull of a thread lift, we look separately at swelling after injection and the tissue response that follows. We check whether the fine lines and surface changes under the eyes match your goal, and if any clumping remains, we do not proceed with additional treatment first. PDO microparticles also cannot be dissolved with an enzyme, so the interval before the next treatment is set after checking that the previous injection site has fully settled.

• Q. What is recovery and aftercare like after ULTRACOL 200 around the eyes?

  PDO microparticles cannot be dissolved with an enzyme as HA filler can. If a lump that can be felt for a long time or inflammation develops under the eyes, have it examined. Do not apply massage or compression instructions you were given after a thread lift to this treatment.

• Q. How do I choose a clinic for ULTRACOL 200 in Gangnam, Seoul?

  Look at the examination and the plan rather than the treatment name. First, what the clinic checks before deciding. For this treatment, QD Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul starts by looking at this: “Whether fine lines and texture are the main concern, and the under-eye area for ULTRACOL’s PDO microparticles, as distinct from a thread lift”. 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.
