Rejuvelux: Under-Eye Tightening with UltraPulse

Last updated:

Fine lines and crepey skin under the eyes are often the first place people notice aging, and many are not ready to consider surgery. If you have come across the name Rejuvelux, this page explains what it is, where the technology behind it comes from, what it is used for, and what to expect from a session.

The short answer

Rejuvelux is the name of an under-eye tightening treatment that uses the Lumenis UltraPulse fractional CO2 laser in its ActiveFX mode. It is a treatment name, not a separate device. ActiveFX works on the skin's surface layer and is used for fine lines, texture and uneven tone. A session takes about 30 minutes under local anesthesia, downtime is about one to two days, and results appear one to four weeks after treatment.

Where the technology comes from

Rejuvelux is built on one of the longest-standing tools in laser dermatology. The CO2 laser was first developed in 1964 at Bell Labs in the United States. Decades later, in the 2000s, fractional laser resurfacing was introduced: instead of treating the whole skin surface at once, the laser treats a pattern of tiny columns and leaves the skin between them untouched, which helps the skin recover.

UltraPulse is a fractional CO2 laser made by Lumenis. It offers different modes for different depths:

UltraPulse modeWhere it worksUsed for
ActiveFXEpidermis (surface layer)Fine lines, texture, uneven tone
DeepFXInto the dermisWrinkles and scars
TotalFXBoth, in one sessionCombined surface and deeper concerns

Rejuvelux uses the ActiveFX mode on the under-eye area.

How Rejuvelux works

The laser places tiny treated columns in the surface of the skin under the eyes. The untreated skin between the columns helps the area heal, and the skin's own repair response renews the surface. Because the effect comes from that repair process, results build gradually rather than appearing on the day of treatment.

Two skin cross-sections side by side. On the left, labelled Laser treats tiny columns, short orange columns sit in the epidermis with untreated skin between them, and a note says ActiveFX works on the surface layer. On the right, labelled Skin repairs and renews, the surface is smooth and wavy lines in the dermis show renewal, with a note that smoother texture and firmer-looking skin build over the following weeks. A box below reads: about 30 minutes, local anesthesia, downtime about 1 to 2 days, results appear 1 to 4 weeks after treatment.

What Rejuvelux is used for

Rejuvelux is aimed at the skin under the eyes, where it is used for:

  • Fine lines under the eyes
  • Crepey or uneven skin texture in the under-eye area
  • Uneven tone in the treated area

How much change you see varies from person to person, and the doctor will tell you what is realistic for your skin during the consultation. Whether the upper eyelid area can also be treated is decided after the doctor's assessment.

What a session involves

QuestionWhat to expect
Treatment timeAbout 30 minutes
AnesthesiaLocal anesthesia by injection
DowntimeAbout 1 to 2 days
When results appear1 to 4 weeks after treatment

Local anesthesia numbs the area while you stay awake, so you can tell the doctor how you feel during treatment.

Read why our doctor recommends staying awake for procedures like this.

If you have had other under-eye procedures

Rejuvelux can be considered after other procedures such as under-eye fat repositioning or thread lifting, subject to the doctor's consultation. Tell the doctor about any previous treatment in the area so the plan can take it into account.

Who should talk to the doctor first

Tell the doctor before treatment if any of these apply to you, so they can decide whether Rejuvelux is suitable:

  • An active skin condition in the area
  • Recent tanning
  • Pregnancy

Planning Rejuvelux around a trip

With downtime of about one to two days, timing matters if you are visiting Seoul. Leave enough time after treatment before your flight, and before any photos or events you have planned.

See when to book treatment before your flight home.

The staff via whatsapp was friendly and responsive to accommodate last min change request to my appointment. The place was clean and comfortable and the lady doctor was helpful to suggest what’s good for me based on my needs. I find the procedures reasonably priced as there were some promotional offers. I managed to get there by 5.30pm for a last consultation and finished my treatments by 7:30pm (clinic closes at 7pm) yet besides the lady doctor who performed the procedures, the lady assistant who helped to clean and prep my face and the male interpreter who stayed with her to explain in English to me step by step what she’s doing— were patient and thorough, I didn’t feel rushed at all. I feel very pampered. I’ll certainly come back again the next time I’m in Seoul!

While getting ready for my wedding, I started looking into different skin treatments and ended up getting a skin booster injection along with Pico toning. My skin is naturally very thin and sensitive, so I was worried because it tends to react easily if a treatment doesn't suit me. But they carefully checked my skin condition first during the consultation, which made me feel a lot more comfortable. There was a little redness on the day of the treatment, but once I put on makeup the next day, it was barely noticeable. I was especially happy during my wedding photoshoot because my makeup went on so well My skin just looked healthy and fresh without needing heavy coverage!

I recently visited Dami Clinic and had a really great experience! The staff were extremely kind and welcoming, which made me feel very comfortable from the beginning. The doctor was not only kind but also very professional, explaining everything clearly and carefully. I especially enjoyed my Sylfirm X treatment, which helps with redness and pores. The whole process was smooth. I would definitely recommend Dami Clinic to anyone looking for professional skin care with a warm and friendly atmosphere! 🌸
