Sunekos

Sunekos treatments combine hyaluronic acid and amino acids to support collagen production, hydration, texture and elasticity.

Clinical Introduction

Sunekos treatments combine hyaluronic acid with a specific blend of amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks used by the skin in collagen and elastin synthesis, and the formulations are designed to support these processes. The Sunekos range includes Performa and 1200. The most appropriate option depends on your skin, concerns and treatment goals. Improvements develop gradually and may include changes in texture, fine lines, elasticity and hydration.

Sunekos Performa

Commonly considered for finer lines, hydration, texture and mild changes in elasticity. It may be used for the eyes or face following separate assessment of each area.

  • Supports hydration and texture
  • May improve the appearance of fine lines
  • Supports the processes involved in collagen and elastin production

Sunekos 1200

May be considered for more established skin changes, deeper lines, creasing or reduced elasticity. In some plans it may provide initial support before Performa.

  • Designed for more established skin-quality concerns
  • May support deeper lines and reduced elasticity
  • Supports the processes involved in collagen and elastin production

It is not intended to replace structural dermal filler or surgical treatment.

Suitability Indicators

  • Adults seeking gradual improvement in skin quality
  • People concerned about fine lines, texture, hydration or elasticity
  • Those who may benefit from Performa, 1200 or a planned sequence
  • Patients whose medical history and skin are suitable following assessment

Target Concerns

Consultation Process

Ana will assess your skin, medical history, allergies and treatment goals before explaining the differences between Sunekos Performa and Sunekos 1200. The proposed product, treatment area, course, realistic outcomes, limitations and risks will be discussed before a plan is agreed.

The Treatment Journey Steps

  1. Face-to-face consultation and skin assessment
  2. Selection and preparation of the treatment area
  3. Careful placement using a series of small injections
  4. Assessment of the immediate skin response
  5. Personalised aftercare and course planning

Safety & Downtime

Safety Note: Sunekos Performa is an injectable treatment and is not risk-free. Potential risks include swelling, bruising, tenderness, infection, inflammatory reactions and an unsatisfactory result. Your medical history, allergies and treatment area will be assessed before treatment.

Expected Downtime: Small papules, redness, swelling, tenderness and bruising can occur after treatment. These effects usually begin to settle over the following days, although recovery varies and swelling may be more noticeable around the eyes.
