LUMI Eyes Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is a non-surgical technique that uses injections of vitamins, enzymes, hormones, and plant extracts to rejuvenate and tighten skin. A prescribed dose of a substance called polynucleotide is injected into the skin and acts as a tissue stimulator that strengthens and gives a more toned look.
Today, mesotherapy can be used to:
fade wrinkles and lines
tighten loose skin
lighten pigmented skin
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
Repairs and brightens the skin around the eyes
Revitalises the tear ducts
Reduces pigmentation from various causes (including post-traumatic)
Stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis
Reduces wrinkles on the face
Improves skin elasticity and tightens sagging skin
WHAT’s THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LUMI EYES AND TEAR TROUGH?
Both treatments are minimally invasive, meaning they don't require general anaesthesia, incisions or stitches. This makes them a safer and more comfortable option for those preferring to avoid surgery.
Both Lumi Eyes and Tear Trough Filler are quick and easy treatments that can be performed in just a few minutes. Patients usually experience little to no discomfort during the procedure, and no recovery time is required. You can resume your ‘normal’ activities soon after the treatment.
As with all other non-surgical treatments that involve injections, you should expect mild side effects. Slight redness, bruising, irritation, swelling or discolouration in the area of application. These side effects are usually temporary and should resolve on their own within a few days.
ADVANTAGE OF LUMI EYES OVER TEAR TROUGH FILLER?
Collagen synthesis: Lumi Eyes help boost collagen production in the skin. Collagen is a protein that gives our skin its strength and ensures it remains firm and smooth. Boosting collagen production can help reverse the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
If however collagen stimulation is your goal, radiofrequency skin tightening can be more effective.
Minimal swelling: With Lumi Eyes, there is little risk of oedema (accumulation of lymphatic fluid under the eyes), which can sometimes occur with conventional dermal fillers. If such swelling occurs, it can be mitigated with simple filler aftercare protocols.
Skin brightening and rejuvenation: Unlike dermal filler, which acts as a buffer between the skin and the eye socket, Lumi Eyes goes a step further to repair and brighten the skin around the eyes. This skin brightening and rejuvenating feature is a great solution for people with dark pigmentation under the eyes.
ADVANTAGE OF TEAR TROUGH FILLER OVER LUMI EYES?
Provides immediate results: Unlike Lumi Eyes, Tear Trough Filler delivers immediate results. This makes it a great option for people who want to see an instantaneous improvement in their appearance.
More customisable: Tear Trough Filler is a customisable treatment, meaning the amount of filler used can be tailored to each patient's individual needs. This ensures that the results look natural and proportionate.
More versatile: Can also be used to correct other problems: Dermal fillers can also be used to correct other problems, such as deflated cheeks or deep nasolabial folds, making the treatment more versatile.
Longer lasting: Tear trough filler lasts longer than Lumi Eyes. On average, 12 months compared to 6 months. This means that you need fewer follow-up treatments in the long run.
Fewer initial treatments: Lumi Eyes requires a series of 3 treatments approximately 4 weeks apart to see a noticeable improvement. In contrast, tear-trough fillers only require one treatment, and you start to see results immediately after the treatment.
Greater volumising effect: The hyaluronic acid in the tear trough filler enables it to compensate for age-related volume loss. This makes tear trough filler a more effective treatment for deflation and wrinkling around the eye area. This is the most common complaint among patients who have previously received Lumi Eyes. It does little for the under-eye hollowing, so they still have to get a filler treatment.
CAN I HAVE BOTH TREATMENTS?
LUMI eyes and Tear Trough filler, although treating the same area they have slightly different uses. Depending on your specific concerns, it is sometimes beneficial to have both treatments to get a you perfect result.
