Gangnam Station Ultracol Under-Eye Dark Circles and Sagging Eyes Honest Review: Real Experience with 2cc Treatment | Pain, Effects Timeline, and Precautions

As I get older, it seems like the first place that shows signs of age is under the eyes.
At some point, dark circles started to appear darker, and I started looking tired even when I wasn't smiling...
The “filled-in feeling” like filler was burdensome, so while looking for a way to recover naturally, I came across Ultracol, which has been mentioned a lot these days.

 

The skin under the eyes is thin and sensitive, so any unnatural appearance is immediately apparent.
So, I set the selection criteria like this.

• No excessive volume: I don't like the lumpiness/unevenness that is characteristic of fillers.

• Self-Regenerating: Naturally improving over time

• Safety: Same ingredients used in thread lifting

Ultracol is a collagen booster that induces collagen production with the ingredient polydioxanone (PD), so I liked the explanation that it restores the skin rather than just “fills it up.”

Choosing a hospital

It was located right outside Gangnam Station, so there was no need to worry about getting around, and the interior had a calm and clean atmosphere without any exaggeration.
(The type that is good for focusing on consultation rather than just flashing a flashy feeling)

I made a reservation and visited, so I could proceed with the consultation right away without waiting, and I was able to hear a detailed explanation of Ultracall's principles, effects, individual differences, and maintenance period.
Even though I had a lot of questions because it was my first time getting under-eye bags, I trusted the doctor because he didn't rush into making recommendations and explained the possible and impossible points.

Preparation before the procedure

Before the procedure, we start by thoroughly washing our face.
There was no inconvenience as I was well prepared with cleanser, moisturizer, etc., and I took pictures first to compare before/after.

Procedure

To be honest, it didn't hurt.
However, rather than a “tingling” sensation, I felt a greater sense of incongruity.

• It's bearable thanks to the anesthesia injection.

• The area under the eyes is sensitive, so the sensation may vary from person to person.

• The procedure did not take long, and the director proceeded very slowly and delicately.

It didn't feel like "a lot was put in", but rather like it was divided and filled in the necessary areas, so I felt reassured that it wouldn't be excessive.

Immediate Change｜Ultracol 2cc

There was some swelling immediately after the procedure, but when I looked in the mirror, I could definitely feel the area under my eyes had become firmer.

Immediately after the procedure – swelling but volume restored under the eyes

 

Rather than saying, “I suddenly look younger,” it was more like my tired expression had cleared up.

Changes over time

▶ The next day

• There is still some swelling. Bruising is minimal or can be covered sufficiently with concealer.

▶ Day 2

• As the swelling gradually goes down, the natural look increases. The shadows under the eyes appear lighter

▶ Day 3

• The moment when only the last bit remained, and the satisfaction was the highest. A natural change to something like “What did you do?”

Another thing to look forward to is that, due to the nature of collagen boosters, the results will gradually improve over time.

Post-Ultracol Treatment Precautions (Checklist)

Post-procedure care is quite important to the results.

• Avoid rubbing/pressing the X-treated area

• Swelling and bruising will disappear naturally within 3 to 7 days (may vary from person to person)

• Avoid saunas, steam rooms, and strenuous exercise for at least one week.

• UV protection + sufficient moisturizing is essential

• If you feel dry, apply regeneration and moisture cream regularly.

• The maintenance period is noticeably increased with 2-3 regular treatments.

 

The area under the eyes is one where even the smallest difference can change the impression.
Rather than making an unconditional recommendation, it is most important to receive sufficient consultation based on your skin condition and expectations.

If you, like me, wanted a “natural change,” Ultracol was an option worth considering.
