In 2025, more people than ever are looking for a natural way to treat dark circles, under-eye hollowness, and tired-looking skin — without surgery, downtime, or the risk of puffiness from traditional fillers. Enter: Lumi Eyes.
At Mesglo Aesthetic Clinic London, Lumi Eyes has become one of our most requested regenerative under-eye treatments. Powered by polynucleotides, this advanced injectable targets pigmentation, hydration, texture, and tissue repair — all in one treatment. But what’s it really like? And what can you expect after two sessions?
In this deep-dive guide, we’ll cover:
- What Lumi Eyes is and how it works
- What treatment feels like, step by step
- What results you can expect after 1 and 2 sessions
- Who it’s for (and not for)
- Before-and-after differences, including skin tone, smoothness, and under-eye brightness
Let’s take a closer look at why this treatment is revolutionising the way we treat tired eyes — especially in London’s fast-paced, fatigue-prone climate.

What Is Lumi Eyes?
Lumi Eyes is a cutting-edge injectable treatment designed specifically for the under-eye area. Unlike traditional tear trough fillers that add volume, Lumi Eyes contains polynucleotides — molecules derived from purified salmon DNA that help repair, hydrate, and regenerate the skin at a cellular level.
What Makes It Unique?
- 💧 Deep hydration without the heaviness of filler
- 🌿 Brightens dark circles by improving microcirculation
- 🧬 Repairs tissue and boosts collagen for firmer, more elastic skin
- 🌟 Natural result with no risk of the Tyndall effect or puffiness
It’s part of a new wave of treatments that aim to restore skin health rather than simply mask issues.
How Lumi Eyes Works: The Science Behind the Glow
Lumi Eyes works through the biostimulation of dermal fibroblasts — the cells responsible for producing collagen, elastin, and extracellular matrix.
Polynucleotides:
- Stimulate DNA repair in damaged or ageing skin
- Improve microcirculation to reduce bluish-purple shadows
- Support the dermal matrix, leading to thicker, more resilient under-eye skin
- Reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, two major contributors to premature ageing
The formula is injected in small amounts under the eyes using a fine needle or cannula, targeting the area where volume loss and pigmentation are most visible.
Unlike filler, it doesn’t “fill” the space — instead, it improves the quality of your own tissue.
What It Feels Like: The Treatment Experience
At Mesglo, every Lumi Eyes session is designed to be quick, comfortable, and discreet. Here’s what you can expect:
Step-by-Step Treatment:
- Consultation – We assess your under-eye structure, skin thickness, pigmentation type, and volume status to make sure you’re a good candidate.
- Numbing Cream Applied – For extra comfort, especially for first-timers.
- Precision Injections – A small amount of Lumi Eyes is injected into 4–6 points under each eye using a micro-needle or cannula.
- Gentle Massage – The area is softly pressed to evenly distribute the product.
- Aftercare Advice – Avoid touching or applying makeup for 12 hours, and skip intense workouts for 24–48 hours.
Sensation:
- Most clients describe it as mild pressure or tiny pinches — very tolerable.
- With numbing cream, the procedure is virtually painless.
The entire session takes about 20–30 minutes, and there’s no real downtime — just the possibility of slight swelling or micro-bruising that resolves in a day or two.
What Results Can You Expect After One Session?
Most clients begin to notice subtle but meaningful changes within the first 7–10 days:
✔️ Smoother skin texture under the eyes
✔️ Slight lightening of pigmentation or shadowing
✔️ Improved hydration and plumpness
✔️ A less “tired” or hollow appearance
At this stage, the results are just beginning. Lumi Eyes is a regenerative treatment, meaning it builds up gradually over time.
After one session, clients often say their eyes look:
- More refreshed
- Better in natural light and photos
- Less lined or shadowed when smiling
For best results, Lumi Eyes is performed as a course of 2–3 sessions, spaced 2–4 weeks apart.
What Happens After Two Sessions?
This is where the treatment starts to truly shine. Most clients report:
✨ Significant improvement in skin brightness
✨ Smoother, firmer under-eye texture
✨ Less visible crepey lines when smiling or squinting
✨ Better skin tone and uniformity
You’ll likely find that makeup sits more smoothly, and your under-eyes appear more rested and youthful, even when tired.
📸 Before & After Clues:
- Dark circles are lighter and more even
- The under-eye trough looks shallower and less hollow
- Skin looks thicker, healthier, and subtly lifted
These effects continue to improve for up to 6 weeks after each session, as collagen and elastin synthesis increases.
How Long Do Lumi Eyes Results Last?
While Lumi Eyes is not a permanent treatment, it offers long-lasting improvement in skin quality. Most clients maintain their results for 6–9 months, with many seeing benefits continue beyond that due to ongoing collagen stimulation.
For optimal maintenance, we recommend:
- A top-up session every 6–8 months
- Supporting treatments like polynucleotide facials or skin boosters
Lumi Eyes vs Tear Trough Filler: What’s the Difference?
| Feature | Lumi Eyes | Tear Trough Filler |
|---|---|---|
| Main Ingredient | Polynucleotides (regenerative) | Hyaluronic Acid (volumising) |
| Effect | Hydration, skin repair, brightness | Volume replacement |
| Risk of Puffiness | None | Moderate (if overdone or poorly placed) |
| Ideal For | Thin skin, pigmentation, crepiness | Deep hollowing only |
| Downtime | Minimal | Moderate (swelling/bruising possible) |
| Longevity | 6–9 months | 9–12 months |
Lumi Eyes is the better option for patients with thin, crepey, or pigment-prone skin, while traditional filler may be better suited for structural hollowing. At Mesglo, we often assess which option is best — or use both in stages for a complete result.
Who Is It For — And Who Should Avoid It?
Lumi Eyes is ideal for:
- People in their mid 20s to 50s with signs of fatigue or early ageing
- Patients wanting to avoid traditional filler risks
- Those with dark circles, fine lines, dullness or dryness
- Anyone seeking a refreshed, subtle rejuvenation without downtime
It may not be suitable for:
- Severe eye bags caused by fat pads (may require surgery)
- Active skin infections or uncontrolled medical conditions
