Renefil

• How deep the tear trough hollow is, any tendency to puffiness, and whether Renefil’s combined HA and PN formula suits the area
• Renefil is an HA and PN combined formulation; its suitability for the under-eye area is judged by the degree of hollowing and swelling rather than by whether it contains PN. Its purpose of use in Korea concerns nasolabial folds, so the range and limits of use under the eyes are explained separately at the examination. Even though it contains PN, its formulation and properties differ from PN products such as Rejuran, so it is planned separately.

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 how deep the tear trough hollow is, any tendency to puffiness, and whether Renefil’s combined HA and PN formula suits the area.

Renefil

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

  Containing PN does not make Renefil the same as Rejuran. Renefil is a filler made by adding PN and lidocaine to cross-linked hyaluronic acid, and it is planned with both its approved purpose of use and its product properties in mind.

  Assessing the change

  With HA products, lines, hydration and surface quality are assessed after swelling settles. The area and formulation influence the course and duration. 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

   Renefil is an HA and PN combined formulation; its suitability for the under-eye area is judged by the degree of hollowing and swelling rather than by whether it contains PN. Its purpose of use in Korea concerns nasolabial folds, so the range and limits of use under the eyes are explained separately at the examination. Even though it contains PN, its formulation and properties differ from PN products such as Rejuran, so it is planned separately.

2. 02

   Understand your product

   Containing PN does not make Renefil the same as Rejuran. Renefil is a filler made by adding PN and lidocaine to cross-linked hyaluronic acid, and it is planned with both its approved purpose of use and its product properties in mind.

3. 03

   Plan through recovery

   We assess whether what the under-eye area needs is correction of hollowing or improvement of skin texture. After the initial swelling has gone, whether to inject more is decided conservatively by looking at the remaining hollowing and skin response. The injection interval is also set by the remaining hollowing and skin response rather than by expectations of the PN ingredient.

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.
• Persistent swelling, a bluish tint showing through, unevenness and nodules can occur. Rarely, blocked blood vessels can cause serious complications such as skin necrosis, vision damage or blindness, so severe pain, changes in skin color or visual problems need immediate medical care.

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. Early recovery

   Monitor bruising, swelling and injection marks. Contact the clinic if symptoms worsen or persist.

3. Next steps

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

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

  Renefil is a tissue-repair biomaterial containing cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA), sodium polynucleotide (PN) and lidocaine. Its Korean product information describes temporary correction of moderate to severe nasolabial folds in adults. Filler can help soften shadows caused by hollows. It does not remove pigment itself or protruding fat, and if your under-eye area tends to swell or the skin is very thin, swelling, visible product and unevenness are considered first.

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

  Renefil is an HA and PN combined formulation; its suitability for the under-eye area is judged by the degree of hollowing and swelling rather than by whether it contains PN. Its purpose of use in Korea concerns nasolabial folds, so the range and limits of use under the eyes are explained separately at the examination. Even though it contains PN, its formulation and properties differ from PN products such as Rejuran, so it is planned separately.

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

  We assess whether what the under-eye area needs is correction of hollowing or improvement of skin texture. After the initial swelling has gone, whether to inject more is decided conservatively by looking at the remaining hollowing and skin response. The injection interval is also set by the remaining hollowing and skin response rather than by expectations of the PN ingredient.

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

  We watch for persistent swelling, surface changes and lumps under the eyes. Please also let us know if you have a history of lidocaine allergy. Worsening pain or changes in skin color or vision need immediate medical care.

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

  Look at the examination and the plan rather than the treatment name. First, what the clinic checks before deciding.
