Periorbital aging involves all layers of the skin, fat, and the bony orbit. Therefore, a multimodal approach is necessary. Twenty Korean subjects who required periorbital rejuvenation were enrolled in this study. First, micro‐focused ultrasound with visualization (MFU‐V) was performed across the supra‐brow area, lateral canthus, and the infraorbital area. Next, the filler was injected into the sunken upper eyelid, lateral eyebrow, and the infraorbital area. Lastly, botulinum toxin was administered into the forehead, glabella, crow's feet, and the lateral orbital rim below the brow on the same day. Photographs were taken at baseline; immediately after treatment; and at 1, 4, and 12 weeks of follow‐up. The average eyebrow height was increased by 3.5 mm, and the maximum height was elevated by 3.9 mm at week 12. Physician visual analogue scale (VAS) scores regarding the whole periorbital area and eyebrow ptosis were continuously improved throughout the observation period. Physician VAS scores for infraorbital hollow and superior sulcus deformity improved immediately after the procedure and were maintained at week 12. Adverse events were mild and transient. We believe that a multimodal approach combining MFU‐V, fillers, and botulinum toxin results in significant periocular rejuvenation.
