UNDEREYE SKIN REJUVENATION
LUMIEYES – AVOID / CONSIDER
Lumieyes, Plinest and PhilArt are DNA Polynucleotides (also called PN/PN-PHT) injectables. These are NOT dermal fillers but can be termed as a type of the most advanced form of ‘skin booster’.
(Hyaluronic acid based dermal fillers – Juvederm, Teosyal, Belotero, Saypha, Restylane, Profhilo or bio-stimulators (Ellansé/Lanluma) are the commonly used treatments for facial rejuvenation until the introduction of Polynucleotides.
Plinest and PhilArt are becoming the most popular bio-stimulating injectables for use alongside or instead of the previous technologies.
Lumieyes, Plinest and PhilArt are all designed to stimulate activity within your skin’s fibroblasts – a type skin cell producing collagen and elastin – the dermal components for firm, thick and bouncy skin – characteristics found in a youthful complexion.
WHICH IS BETTER?
On first glance, Lumieyes, Plinest and PhilArt may all seem very similar but there are some differences, some of which may or may not matter to you.
ORIGIN:
Lumi Eyes is obtained from purified salmon milk DNA. It is manufactured in South Korea.
Plinest is obtained from Trout Fish DNA and manufactured by Mastelli (Italy).
PhilArt is obtained from European freshwater fish DNA and manufactured by Croma (Austria).
UNDERSTANDING HOW PN WORKS:
Polynucleotide (PN) gels have a stimulating effect on the skin within weeks.
It is a progressive improvement that is now being favoured by many aesthetic medical doctors as a treatment with great results and an extremely low risk of complications.
It is an ideal choice for all male and female patients, particularly those over 25 yrs with no maximum upper age limit. Those 40 and older may suffer with visible skin ageing from sun exposure and dehydration, at times also related to poor diet and/or smoking. This patient groups is particularly likely to see great benefit from the lifting and firming properties of the treatment.
TREATMENT AREAS:
Scalp (to stimulate hair growth and/or improve scalp dryness)
Undereyes (dark circles, lax skin and hollowness)
Lower Face rejuvenation
Neck wrinkles
Hands for improvement skin elasticity and hydration
Stretch marks
PRODUCT STRENGTH:
Lumieyes : 2mg/ml (LOW)
Plinest Eye : 7.5mg/ml (HIGH)
PhilArt Eye : 15mg/ml (HIGH)
EFFICACY:
On paper, as European products, for Plinest and PhilArt, there is more published information on their origins, manufacture and clinical results, giving greater confidence.
We know that Plinest and PhilArt are well dosed, highly purified and truly bio-compatible. In theory this means less irritations, less long residue and complications for long term use.
You will find Plinest and PhilArt now available from many of the UK’s top medical aesthetics clinics, many of whom do not offer Lumieyes. Lumieyes has developed a huge social media following.
SAFETY:
Plinest and PhilArt are very well established polynucleotide injectables having a base of hundreds of clinical papers.
Lumieyes has numerous claims which originate for the manufacturers and suppliers in the far east.
All of these products are CE marked, suggesting compliance with European standards. The CE marking does not have ANY correlation with clinical results achievable and is a formality for their legal distribution in the UK and Europe.
TREATMENT REGIME:
Local anaesthetic cream is applied for 30 mins to make your treatment easier.
The treatment area will be cleansed and sterilised. Our doctor will then inject the Polynucleotides gel which takes just a few minutes. They will then give you advice on how to care for yourself after treatment and arrange any repeat treatment and follow up as necessary.
3-5 treatments will give best results. They are done every 3-6 weeks.
MAINTENANCE:
Single top-up session every 6-12 months
COST:
Lumieyes is generally available at a lower cost than Plinest and PhilArt.
It is also the lowest dosed product out of the three and often available from non-medical injectors which may have an influence on price, so a direct comparison is difficult.
Plinest and PhilArt Eye treatments use 2ML of product. It’s just 1ML with Lumieyes.
£100 to £300 per treatment is the price range we have noticed.
Many clinics will offer a course discount or payment plan if you enquire.
RESULTS:
Clinical studies have shown a thickening/firming of the skin of up to 52% in just 23 days with upregulated collagen production (up to 47% more in just 23 days).
Skin inflammation reduces, skin hydration and suppleness increases.
OUR RECOMMENDATION:
PLINEST and PHILART – GET THEM NOW!
We are most assured by the information available on these products’ safety and results. As European headquartered brands, it is easier to obtain the required, verifiable data to let us trust them. They have easily accessible product reps and clinical experts to address any concerns if they appear.
LUMIEYES – CONSIDER/AVOID
Korea are putting out some interesting technologies but these are often clones and copies rather than the innovations we see from the big Europe based manufacturers. Lumieyes is bought cheaply and easily over the internet and seems to be increasingly available in many beauty salons and unsuitable environments – this is a concern.
Lumieyes is rather low dosed and in just a 1ML syringe (15 X less polynucleotides than a standard PhilArt Eye treatment). This may impact results.
