Sunekos

Sunekos pairs hyaluronic acid with a patented cluster of six amino acids that prompt your skin to rebuild its own collagen and elastin — restoring firmness, hydration and glow without adding volume.

About this treatment

Sunekos is a regenerative injectable rather than a filler. Its patented formula combines low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid with six amino acids — the building blocks of collagen and elastin — and delivers them into the dermis in a series of small, superficial injections.

The hyaluronic acid draws in moisture for an immediate plumping and hydrating effect. The amino acids do the longer-term work: they feed the skin's fibroblast cells, which respond by producing fresh collagen and elastin over the following weeks. The result is skin that is firmer, smoother and better hydrated, but still entirely your own.

It suits the face, neck, décolletage and hands, and is one of the few injectables gentle enough for the delicate skin under the eyes. It is a natural first step for anyone who wants to improve skin quality before, or instead of, dermal fillers.

Which skin-quality injectable?

Two regenerative injectables that improve skin quality rather than add volume. They differ in how they work and who they suit — your consultation confirms which is right for you.

Questions, answered

Frequently asked questions.

How is Sunekos different from dermal filler? +
Filler adds volume and reshapes. Sunekos does neither — it works within the skin to improve its quality, so the change is in texture, firmness and hydration rather than shape. The two are often combined: Sunekos to improve the skin, filler where structure is needed.
Which areas can be treated? +
The face (including the under-eye area, cheeks, jawline and around the mouth), the neck, the décolletage and the backs of the hands. Sunekos is one of the few injectables suitable for the thin skin beneath the eyes, where it softens crepiness and hollowing.
How many sessions will I need? +
Most patients have a course of three or four sessions, one to two weeks apart, then a single top-up every six months or so. Your practitioner will confirm the plan at your consultation.
When will I see results? +
Hydration improves within about a week of the first session. The collagen and elastin response takes longer — most patients see the full effect two to three months after completing the course, and it lasts around six months.
Does it hurt? +
The injections are shallow and use a very fine needle, so most patients describe a mild sting rather than pain. A topical numbing cream is available. The treatment itself takes around 20–30 minutes.
What are the side effects and aftercare? +
Small raised bumps at the injection points that flatten within a few hours, and occasionally mild swelling or a bruise that settles within a few days. Avoid make-up on the area for the rest of the day and skip strenuous exercise, saunas and sunbathing for 24–48 hours.
Who is it not suitable for? +
Sunekos is not used during pregnancy or breastfeeding, over active skin infection or inflammation, or where there is a known allergy to any of its components. Your consultation covers your medical history to confirm suitability.
