Lumi Eyes is an injectable treatment designed to improve the skin around your eyes. It’s not filler and it doesn’t change your face shape or make anything look puffed up. It works differently. Instead of adding volume, it helps repair and brighten the under-eye area by using a substance called polynucleotides. These support tissue repair and skin regeneration.
If you have dark circles and tired-looking eyes, lumi eyes may help. Here’s how it works and what to expect.
What is Lumi Eyes?
Lumi Eyes is a skin booster and not a filler or toxin. It uses polynucleotides and these are small chains from DNA that support cell repair. The injection goes under the skin the area becomes more hydrated, brighter, and healthier-looking by time.
The product is usually injected under-eye area. You may see some improvement within a few days but full results may show after a few sessions.
This isn’t something you do once and forget about it. It’s a process and most people need 2–3 sessions in few weeks apart. You may need touch-ups after every few months depending on your skin.
What Can Lumi Eyes Help With?
It targets the skin quality under your eyes. Wgich includes
- Dark circles (especially if they are due to thin skin or poor circulation but not pigmentation)
- Fine lines around the eyes
- Dryness or dull texture
- Tired look caused by dehydration or poor skin condition
Lumi Eyes may not treat everything. If your dark circles are by deep pigmentation or allergies then this may not fix that. If your worry is puffiness from fat or water retention then it won’t make that go away as well. But if your under-eye area looks tired, dry or slightly hollow then it may help.
How Does Lumi Eyes Work?
The polynucleotides in Lumi Eyes come from purified salmon DNA. They aren’t harmful but they’re highly filtered and biocompatible. They help your skin heal and regenerate. The product slowly improves the skin’s hydration, elasticity and texture over time. Think of it like support for your skin’s natural recovery.
You usually start with 2 or 3 sessions about 2 to 4 weeks apart. The treatment is done with small injections. Most people say the discomfort is mild. There’s may be some swelling for a day or two but bruising is possible and not guaranteed.
What It’s Not
Lumi Eyes isn’t going to change the structure of your face as it’s not filler. It may not remove deep eye bags or erase years of damage in one session. And it would not solve sleep issues or allergies which are often behind dark circles.
Don’t expect a dramatic “before and after” It’s more subtle. You might notice your eyes look fresher or less tired. It’s about making your skin work better while not doing something artificial.
What Happens During a Session?
The session takes about 20 to 30 minutes. Here’s what usually happens:
- Clean the area.
- A numbing cream may be applied (optional).
- The product is injected using a fine needle or cannula.
- There may be some small bumps or swelling afterward. That will go away in 24 to 48 hours.
Aftercare is simple in which you need to avoid touching the area. Don’t use makeup for 24 hours and skip alcohol and intense workouts for a day or two.
When Do You See Results?
Some people notice improvement after the first session but mostly results come out the second or third session. The complete effect develops 2 to 4 weeks after the last treatment.
You may see:
- Brighter under-eyes
- Smoother texture
- Less visible fine lines
- More hydrated skin
It’s not a huge change but it’s more for a healthier look. If you’re expecting major transformation then this may not be the right thing.
How Long Does It Last?
The effects of Lumi Eyes can last around 6 months but it depends on your skin type, age and lifestyle. Some people come in every 4 to 6 months for maintenance. Others may go longer without needing a touch-up.
If your skin is very dry, tired or damaged then you may need more frequent sessions at first.
Who Is It For?
Lumi Eyes is generally safe for adults who want to improve the skin around their eyes. It works best for:
- Mild dark circles (from thin skin and not pigment)
- Dry under-eye skin
- Early signs of aging
- People who want a natural and non-invasive solution
But it’s not for everyone and you should avoid it if:
- You’re pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have active skin infections near the treatment area
- You have known allergies to the ingredients
- You have severe under-eye bags or pigmentation from genetics or medical conditions
A proper consultation helps you to figure out if it’s ok for you. Professionals will assess your skin before doing this treatment.
What Are the Side Effects?
Side effects are usually mild and temporary. They can include:
- Swelling (common and expected)
- Bruising (sometimes)
- Tenderness for a day or two
- Small bumps that go away in 24 to 48 hours
Severe reactions are rare if the product is injected properly and you follow aftercare instructions. Always go to a trained professional with experience in aesthetic injections.
Cost
Prices vary depending on where you go but in most places it costs about the same as a filler session. It may be slightly less per session but you may need a few rounds which mey adds up. Some clinics offer package deals for multiple sessions.
Final Thought
Lumi Eyes isn’t a miracle but it can be helpful. It’s one of those treatments that work quietly in the background and improving skin quality without making it obvious you have done anything.
If your goal is to look a little fresher and more rested then this may be something to consider. But be realistic. It won’t change your face and it won’t replace sleep, hydration or a good skincare routine.
