What is LUMI-EYES®?
LUMI-EYES® is an injectable polynucleotide treatment designed specifically to improve the delicate skin around the eyes. It works by stimulating skin regeneration, hydration, and collagen production, helping to restore a fresher, brighter, and smoother under-eye appearance.
It is a skin quality treatment, not a dermal filler, and does not add volume.
What is LUMI-EYES® used for?
LUMI-EYES® is commonly used to improve:
- Dark circles caused by poor skin quality
- Fine lines and crepey skin under the eyes
- Dehydrated or tired-looking under-eye skin
- Early signs of ageing around the eyes
- Loss of skin elasticity
It is suitable for clients seeking a natural, refreshed look rather than volume enhancement.
How does LUMI-EYES® work?
LUMI-EYES® contains polynucleotides, which:
- Improve skin hydration
- Support tissue repair
- Stimulate collagen and elastin production
- Improve microcirculation and skin texture
The product is injected superficially into the under-eye area using small injections.
What happens during the treatment?
- A consultation and medical assessment are performed
- The under-eye area is cleansed
- LUMI-EYES® is injected using fine needles
- The procedure typically takes 20–30 minutes
Topical numbing cream may be used if required.
What will it feel like?
- Mild discomfort or stinging during injections
- Slight pressure or sensitivity afterwards
Most clients tolerate the treatment well.
What results can I expect?
- Gradual improvement in skin quality and hydration
- Brighter, smoother under-eye skin
- Reduced appearance of fine lines
Results develop over 2–4 weeks as the skin regenerates.

- Treatments are spaced 2–4 weeks apart
- Maintenance treatments may be advised every 6–12 months
Results vary between individuals.
Downtime and recovery
