What is Sunekos?

Sunekos is an injectable skin treatment that combines low molecular weight hyaluronic acid with a patented formula of six amino acids. Unlike fillers that add volume, Sunekos works by providing your skin cells (fibroblasts) with the building blocks they need to produce their own collagen and elastin.

The result is genuine skin regeneration: improved hydration, reduced fine lines, and better skin quality, all without changing your facial structure or adding volume. It's particularly effective for delicate areas like the under-eyes where traditional fillers may not be suitable.

The Science: HA + Amino Acids

Sunekos contains a specific combination of amino acids (glycine, L-proline, L-leucine, L-lysine, L-alanine, and L-valine) that work synergistically with hyaluronic acid. While the HA provides immediate hydration, the amino acids stimulate your fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin – the structural proteins that keep skin firm and elastic.

Two formulations for different needs

Sunekos 200

The lighter formula, ideal for fine lines, delicate areas like under-eyes, and as a preventative treatment for younger skin. Excellent for hydration and early signs of ageing.

Sunekos 1200

The more intensive formula for moderate to severe skin laxity, deeper lines, and more significant volume loss. Contains more hyaluronic acid for enhanced regeneration.

Sarah will recommend the most suitable formulation based on your skin's needs during consultation.

Who is it for?

Sunekos is ideal for anyone wanting to improve skin quality and address fine lines without adding volume. It's particularly effective for:

  • Under-eye concerns including dark circles, fine lines, crepey skin, and hollowing
  • Fine lines around the mouth, forehead, and cheeks
  • Dehydrated, dull skin lacking radiance
  • Early signs of ageing, including prevention and early intervention
  • Neck, décolletage, and hand rejuvenation
  • Those who want improvement without the look of having had "work done"

Sunekos suits a wide age range and isn't suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Areas we treat

Sunekos is versatile and can treat multiple areas where skin quality has declined or fine lines have developed.

Popular Choice

Under-Eyes

One of Sunekos's standout applications. Improves dark circles, fine lines, crepey texture, and mild hollowing in this delicate area where traditional fillers carry higher risks.

Full Face

Overall skin quality improvement – hydration, fine lines, and firmness across cheeks, forehead, and around the mouth.

Neck

Address crepey neck skin, horizontal lines, and loss of firmness in this notoriously difficult-to-treat area.

Décolletage

Rejuvenate sun-damaged chest skin, improve texture, and reduce fine lines and crepiness.

Hands

Improve thinning, crepey hand skin and restore a more youthful appearance to often-neglected hands.

Perioral (Lip Lines)

Address fine vertical lines around the mouth without adding volume to the lips themselves.

What to expect

The Sunekos Course

Sunekos is most effective when delivered as a course of treatments:

  • Initial course: 4 treatments, 7-10 days apart. This intensive protocol delivers optimal regeneration
  • Maintenance: 1 treatment every 4-6 months, or a short course annually

The closely-spaced treatments allow the regenerative effects to build on each other. Sarah will create a personalised treatment plan based on your skin's needs.

1

Consultation

Your journey begins with a consultation where Sarah assesses your skin, discusses your concerns, and determines if Sunekos is right for you. She'll recommend the appropriate formulation (200 or 1200) and treatment plan.

2

Treatment Day

Treatment takes 30-45 minutes depending on areas treated. Topical numbing cream is applied beforehand for comfort. Using fine needles, Sarah injects the product into the targeted areas using techniques tailored to each zone.

3

Results Timeline

You may notice improved hydration within days. However, the collagen and elastin stimulation takes time – optimal results are typically seen 2-4 weeks after completing your full course, with continued improvement over the following months.

4

Longevity

Results from a full course typically last 6-9 months. Because Sunekos stimulates your own collagen and elastin production, the benefits are genuine skin improvement rather than just a temporary effect. Maintenance sessions help sustain results.

Downtime

Downtime is minimal. Expect some redness, small bumps at injection sites, and possible mild swelling for 24-48 hours. The under-eye area may swell more noticeably. Bruising is possible and may take 5-7 days to resolve, particularly around the eyes. Most clients return to normal activities immediately, though you may wish to avoid important events for a couple of days.

Aftercare

Following these guidelines will help optimise your results:

  • Avoid touching or pressing the treated areas for 24 hours
  • Apply a cool compress if swelling is uncomfortable
  • No makeup on treated areas for 12-24 hours
  • Avoid strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours
  • Avoid alcohol for 24 hours
  • Avoid saunas, steam rooms, and excessive heat for 48 hours

Sarah will provide detailed written aftercare instructions tailored to your treatment.

Risks & safety

Sunekos has an excellent safety profile. The hyaluronic acid and amino acids are all naturally occurring substances, making adverse reactions rare.

Common (expected)

Redness, swelling, small bumps at injection sites, tenderness

Possible

Bruising (especially around eyes), mild discomfort, temporary numbness

Rare

Infection, allergic reaction, prolonged swelling

All risks will be discussed during your consultation. Sarah will only proceed if you're a suitable candidate.
