Erbium + Eye Sofwavein Gangnam, Seoul
A consultation option combining Erbium under-eye fat repositioning with Sofwave. 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. At QD Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, South Korea, consultation helps determine which options suit your concerns.
Who it’s for
- Combined Erbium consultation assessing under-eye fat, tear troughs and skin concerns separately.
- Eye Sofwave uses ultrasound to stimulate a collagen response when addressing brow laxity and facial lines. A nominal depth of about 1.5 mm does not establish suitability for thin eyelids. Brow lifting and direct eyelid treatment are distinct; the instructions guide treatment boundaries. 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.
How it works
A consultation option combining Erbium under-eye fat repositioning with Sofwave. Surgery and energy treatment have different roles and treatment areas; the need for each is assessed first. Sofwave lists open wounds in the treatment area as a contraindication and does not recommend treatment directly over dermal fillers. Surgical wounds, previous injection sites and timing must be reviewed.

02Anatomy and function
Eye Sofwave uses ultrasound to stimulate a collagen response when addressing brow laxity and facial lines. A nominal depth of about 1.5 mm does not establish suitability for thin eyelids. Brow lifting and direct eyelid treatment are distinct; the instructions guide treatment boundaries. 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.
03Areas and timing
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. Sofwave lists open wounds in the treatment area as a contraindication and does not recommend treatment directly over dermal fillers. Surgical wounds, previous injection sites and timing must be reviewed.
04Recovery and review
Early swelling is not the final result. Healing, eyelid function and skin response guide review timing and any further treatment.

Recovery & aftercare
- 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. Sofwave lists open wounds in the treatment area as a contraindication and does not recommend treatment directly over dermal fillers. Surgical wounds, previous injection sites and timing must be reviewed. 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.

Neither is “better” — they work differently and suit different goals. The right choice is decided after we assess your skin.
Safety & considerations
Possible reactions
- Risks include bleeding, infection, scarring, asymmetry, difficulty closing the eyes, lower-lid position changes and revision surgery. Energy treatment adds risks such as pain, redness, swelling and thermal injury.
When to take extra care
- Assess anatomy, eyelid function, dry eyes, prior surgery, fillers and medicines.
- Sofwave lists open wounds in the treatment area as a contraindication and does not recommend treatment directly over dermal fillers. Surgical wounds, previous injection sites and timing must be reviewed.
Sudden visual change, severe eye pain or rapidly increasing swelling require urgent care. Combining procedures does not guarantee faster recovery or additional benefit.
