Lumi Eyes is a relatively new aesthetic treatment that focuses on rejuvenating the periocular (around the eyes) area. This treatment is designed to address various concerns such as dark circles, fine lines, wrinkles, and general tiredness around the eyes. It typically involves the use of advanced mesotherapy techniques, where specific formulations are injected into the skin to improve its appearance and health. This is a type of polynucleotide treatment.

Understanding the Periocular Region

The skin around the eyes is particularly delicate and thin, making it more susceptible to various signs of ageing and fatigue. Factors such as genetics, lifestyle, environmental exposure, and even sleep patterns can significantly impact the appearance of this area. Common issues include:

• Dark Circles: Often caused by genetics, ageing, or lifestyle factors like lack of sleep.
• Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Due to the natural ageing process and repetitive facial movements.
• Puffiness and Bags: Often related to fluid retention, lack of sleep, or ageing.
• General Dullness: Caused by decreased blood circulation and loss of skin elasticity.

What is Lumi Eyes?

Lumi Eyes is a non-surgical treatment that aims to revitalise the periocular area through targeted mesotherapy. This technique involves micro-injections of specially formulated polynucleotide solution directly into the skin. The formulations used in Lumi Eyes treatments usually contain a blend of hyaluronic acid, vitamins, minerals, peptides, and other bioactive ingredients designed to hydrate, firm, and brighten the skin.

How Does Lumi Eyes Work?

Dermaren Lumi Eyes treatments work by delivering these active ingredients directly into the dermal layer of the skin. The procedure typically involves the following steps:

1. Consultation: A thorough assessment of the patient’s periocular area to determine the specific concerns and desired outcomes.
2. Preparation: The skin is cleansed, and a topical anaesthetic may be applied to minimise discomfort during the injections if required but this is not usually needed.
3. Injection: Using fine needles, the practitioner injects the Lumi Eyes solution into targeted areas around the eyes.
4. Post-Treatment Care: After the procedure, specific aftercare instructions are provided to optimise results and minimise any side effects.

Benefits of Lumi Eyes

• Reduction of Dark Circles: The ingredients help lighten pigmentation and improve blood circulation, reducing the appearance of dark circles.
• Smoothing Fine Lines and Wrinkles: By stimulating collagen production and hydrating the skin, fine lines and wrinkles become less noticeable.
• Decreased Puffiness: Ingredients that promote better lymphatic drainage help reduce puffiness and under-eye bags.
• Improved Skin Texture and Brightness: Overall, the skin around the eyes appears more radiant, firm, and youthful.

Who Can Benefit from Lumi Eyes?

Lumi Eyes is suitable for individuals experiencing early signs of ageing around the eyes, those with persistent dark circles, or anyone looking to refresh and rejuvenate the periocular area. However, it is essential to have a consultation with our doctor or nurse to determine if this treatment is appropriate based on individual skin type and concerns. There are many options for treatment around the eyes and tear trough from Profhilo, polynucleotides to tear trough fillers.

Safety and Side Effects

Lumi Eyes is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified and experienced practitioner. However, as with any aesthetic treatment, there are potential risks and side effects, which can include:

• Bruising and Swelling: Temporary and usually mild, these effects typically resolve within a few days.
• Redness and Irritation: Some patients may experience slight redness or irritation at the injection sites.
• Allergic Reactions: Rare but possible, especially if the patient has a known allergy to any of the ingredients.

It is crucial to follow all pre- and post-treatment care instructions provided by the injector to minimise risks and ensure the best possible outcomes.

Comparing Lumi Eyes with Other Treatments

Several other treatments aim to rejuvenate the periocular area, and it’s helpful to compare these options:

1. Dermal Fillers: Used to add volume and smooth out wrinkles, particularly effective for under-eye hollows.
2. Botox: Primarily targets dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movements, such as crow’s feet.
3. Laser Treatments: Can improve skin texture and reduce pigmentation, but may require more downtime.
4. Chemical Peels: Help with surface-level pigmentation and fine lines, though not as targeted for deep hydration or collagen stimulation.

Lumi Eyes can be an option for those seeking a non-surgical, minimally invasive approach with specific benefits for hydration, brightening, and overall rejuvenation.
