Dark circles, fine lines and tired-looking skin under the eyes are among the most common concerns we hear from clients at Velvet Skin & Laser. Many people feel they look older or more fatigued than they actually are, even after a full night’s sleep or with good skincare routines.
Lumi Eyes is a high-quality injectable under-eye booster that uses polynucleotides to treat dermal damage, eliminate dark circles, moisturise the skin, combat fine wrinkles and lift and smooth the area beneath the eyes. It works as a tissue stimulator and enhancer, stimulating collagen and elastin production in a natural way that improves firmness, density and overall skin quality.
In this 2026 guide we’ll cover:
- The problem of dark circles and under-eye ageing
- How Lumi Eyes treatment works
- Realistic before & after results
- Cost and sessions

The Problem: Dark Circles, Fine Lines & Tired-Looking Skin
Dark circles under the eyes can be caused by genetics, thinning skin, poor circulation, pigmentation or volume loss. Many clients tell us they look tired or older than they feel, even when they’re well-rested. Traditional creams often fall short because they don’t reach the deeper layers where real change happens.
Lumi Eyes addresses these issues by stimulating the skin’s natural repair process. It is designed for the delicate under-eye area, helping to reduce pigmentation, improve hydration and restore firmness without adding volume or changing facial shape.
From our clinic experience, it is particularly effective for clients in their 30s to 50s who want a natural, refreshed look without downtime.
How Lumi Eyes Treatment Works
Lumi Eyes is a tissue-regenerating injectable that uses polynucleotides — powerful molecules derived from purified DNA. It treats dermal damage by stimulating collagen and elastin production, deeply hydrating the skin and promoting self-regeneration.
The procedure
- Consultation: We assess your under-eye area, skin quality and goals.
- Treatment: The polynucleotide solution is injected using fine needles in a needle mesotherapy technique. Sessions take 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Sessions: 1–6 sessions are typical, with a recommended course of 3 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart for best results. Repeat the course twice a year to maintain benefits.
The treatment has a rapid absorption rate, allowing you to resume your regular daily activities immediately.
