Hello!

Designing natural beauty with trust.

I am Masataka Fujihashi, a board-certified plastic surgeon.

 

 

Dark circles under the eyes are really bothersome, aren't they?

As a cosmetic surgeon who has performed numerous dark circle treatments, I often hear the following during consultations:

"I want to have the surgery, but I can't take time off work."

"I'm afraid of going under the knife, so I'd prefer to improve it without surgery if possible."

As a surgeon, I strongly feel compelled to propose surgeries that lead to fundamental improvement.

However, the reality is that many people are unable to take time off work or adjust their lifestyles, and many others want to explore options other than surgery first.

 

So this time,Non-surgical dark circle treatments—especially methods that can be improved through injectionsWe will explain about.

Various injectable treatments have emerged in recent years to improve dark circles, fine lines, and hollows under the eyes.

Among these, the question I get asked most often is,Baby Collagen・Snekos・hyaluronic acidthree.

All of these treatments aim to make the eye area appear more youthful, butFeatures and applications vary.

■ Baby Collagen: A replenishing type that blends in

Compared to hyaluronic acid, it has lower viscosity and is less likely to cause the Tyndall effect (where the skin appears bluish and translucent) when injected into the skin's superficial layers.

However, in areas with thin skin, excessive swelling or the Tyndall effect (where the skin appears pale and translucent) may occur, so caution is required when injecting into superficial layers.

Therefore,Use hyaluronic acid to smooth out major unevenness and create a base.make,Finish by blending the shallow layers naturally with baby collagen.There is also this combination.

Baby collagen naturally blends into even shallower layers, making it ideal for “fine-tuning” and “texture finishing” in delicate areas where hyaluronic acid struggles.

■ Baby Collagen vs. Sunekosu: Comparison and Usage Guide

We often hear people say they don't quite understand the difference between Baby Collagen and Snekos, so we've put together a clear explanation of the differences.

■ Basic Treatment Intervals and Number of Sessions

Baby Collagen

Number of times	Effective in one session (single treatment)
frequency	Approximately once every six months to one year (maintenance)
Recommended interval	Reinjection should ideally be spaced at least three months apart. (To determine absorption and self-collagen production)
Reason	Baby Collagen provides "instant volume + collagen regeneration," Excessive layering increases the risk of puffiness and unevenness.

 

Snekos

Number of sessions (1 cycle)	3 to 4 times (every 1 to 2 weeks)
Interval	The ideal interval between sessions is 7 to 10 days (to maintain fibroblast activity).
Maintenance	After completing one course, repeat every six months to a year for increased longevity.
Reason	Snekos is a “skin regeneration type,” so by applying stimulation continuously for a certain period, Maximize collagen and elastin production.
