Sunekos
Maintain a natural look with Sunekos
Sunekos is a new injectable treatment containing amino acids and hyaluronic acid. It works by stimulating the fibroblasts in the skin to produce a complete mix of collagen and elastin. Sunekos is specifically designed to renew your skin cells, so not only does it dramatically reduce signs of ageing, but the results look completely natural, and your skin is left looking smooth, hydrated, and glowing.
The treatment is extremely versatile, and can help with wrinkles and fine lines, loss of skin tone, acne scarring, sun damage, and baggy eyes. It can be used on your face, neck, hands, arms, inner thighs, and knees. Sunekos is a great option for people who wish to maintain a more natural look, or those who do not want Botox or fillers. Or as an add on to your treatments to improve the quality of your skin.

Frequently asked questions
There are two injectable Sunekos products:
- Sunekos 200 which is used for the treatment of forehead, areas around the eyes, neck and decollet
- Sunekos 1200 which is used in conjunction with Sunekos 200 for older clients, to treat sagging skin and severe wrinkles
Sunekos has a good safety profile. It is very rare to get serious complications.
The level of discomfort is usually found to be mild and tolerable by patients. The most common feedback we receive is that the skin feels warm immediately following the injections.
Mild swelling and bruising are the most common potential side effects immediately following treatment.
Consultations are an important part of the treatment process in allowing you to understand the treatment and to establish if the benefits of the treatment are outweighed by any possible side effects. During a consultation, your characteristics, such as your area of concern and your medical status, will be assessed. Your medical practitioner will be able to discuss whether this treatment is appropriate for you, as well as any suitable alternative treatments.
Your practitioner will discuss any possible side effects, questions you may have and any aftercare you should adhere to prior to you having treatment.
Once the treatment is complete, you may have some raised bumps to the skin, these will subside in 24 – 48 hours.
- Avoid any kind of make up for at least 12 hours
- No strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours
- No swimming for 48 hours
- Avoid extreme temperate changes for at least 7 days
Sunekos is injected into the skin in a specific pattern depending on the area to be treated. Four treatments are required over 4 – 6 weeks and results last up to 6 months.
As with most treatments, the amount of time the effects can last vary depending on where you have treated, your lifestyle and your metabolic rate; these factors usually influence the longevity of your results. For example, in our experience, those who smoke or frequently do cardio work-outs can break-down hyaluronic acid faster than those who do not.
The guidelines are to have maintenance treatments 4 to 7 months after your full treatment. If patients choose not to continue treatments after the full treatment, the product will gradually wear off and your natural ageing process will continue. This treatment does not stop that natural ageing process.
