Under-eye concern

Fine lines

Why fine lines gather under the eyes, and what can help soften them.

Fine lines

Fine lines appear when skin loses hydration and elasticity, and the under-eye is often where they show first.

Fine lines

Hydrated, elastic skin creases less when you smile.

Why it happens.

Dryness
Thin skin holds less water, so fine lines form more easily.
Lost elasticity
As elastin declines, skin creases and stays creased.
Movement
Smiling and squinting fold the same skin many times a day.

What can help.

Improving hydration and elasticity helps soften fine lines. Improvements build across a course of treatment.

What treatment involves.

  1. 01

    Consultation

    A qualified practitioner reviews your medical history and skin, and agrees a plan with you.

  2. 02

    A short course

    Usually three sessions, four weeks apart, repeated twice a year.

  3. 03

    Aftercare

    Some swelling is normal. Wear SPF daily, keep skin hydrated and use a Lumi mask at home when advised.

Day to day.

Small habits that support treatment and help results last.

SPF every day

Sun breaks down collagen. Protect the under-eye too.

Hydrate

Drink water and use a hydrating moisturiser.

Sleep well

Rest helps the skin recover and look less tired.

Be gentle

Cleanse softly and avoid rubbing the eye area.

Questions about fine lines.

Can fine lines be reversed?

They can be softened by improving the skin’s hydration and elasticity. Results vary.

Is this the same as anti-wrinkle injections?

No. Lumi works on skin quality rather than muscle movement.

How many sessions will I need?

Usually a course of three, four weeks apart. Your practitioner will advise.

Does moisturiser help?

Yes. Daily hydration and SPF support any treatment.

Ask your practitioner about Lumi.

Lumi treatments are given only by qualified practitioners. Ask your clinic whether they use the Lumi series.
