Small wrinkles, a flat complexion, loss of skin elasticity, and early signs of ageing are natural; however, most people want their skin to look younger without drastic changes and subtlety at the forefront of any results. Imagine that you have smoother, moister, firmer skin, no fillers, or surgery. Our Sunekos therapy at Beauty by Doctor in Sydney provides a new way to rejuvenate the skin by helping your body renew through its natural mechanisms, supporting inner skin renewal. Sunekos is a specialised injection that boosts collagen and elastin production, proteins that naturally strengthen the skin and improve skin laxity.
As of February 2026, it has recently been approved in Australia and is gaining increasing appeal for its natural, gentle approach to improving skin quality and texture. Beauty By Doctor is always at the cutting edge of advancements within the aesthetic industry and, as such, is one of the 1st early-adopting clinics for Sunekos in Sydney, Australia.

What Is Sunekos?
A biostimulation injectable treatment, Sunekos, is composed of hyaluronic acid and a combination of amino acids.
These ingredients are designed to aid fibroblasts- cells, which produce collagen and elastin in the deeper layers of the skin.
Sunekos does not add volume, as dermal fillers do, but instead improves the skin's inner structure.
Sunekos is designed to support collagen and elastin regeneration while improving deep skin hydration. Restoring structure and moisture within the dermis, it helps improve skin firmness, elasticity, and general texture, supporting a more refined, refreshed complexion over time.
Because Sunekos aims to heal skin rather than create volume, it can be a great solution for a patient who does not want to alter the shape or size of their face but still wants to look fresh.

Sunekos Product Variants & Treatment Phases
Sunekos is available in two primary formulations — Sunekos Performa (200) and Sunekos 1200 — each selected according to treatment stage and skin condition.

Sunekos 1200 contains a higher concentration of hyaluronic acid and is typically used at the first session of treatment. It is designed to provide deeper dermal support in areas showing visible laxity, helping to prepare the extracellular matrix for collagen and elastin stimulation.

Sunekos Performa (also referred to as Sunekos 200) contains a lower molecular weight hyaluronic acid combined with the patented amino acid complex. It is used to stimulate fibroblast activity and support ongoing production of Type I and Type III collagen, as well as elastin. Performa is commonly used in delicate areas such as the under eyes and is typically continued in subsequent sessions to reinforce progressive skin remodelling.

Under the recommended protocol, the first treatment usually combines Sunekos 1200 and Sunekos Performa. Follow-up sessions at 2-3 week intervals generally involve Sunekos Performa alone.

Your practitioner will determine the precise combination and spacing based on the treatment area, degree of laxity and individual skin response.

How Sunekos Works
Sunekos is classified as a biostimulatory injectable, however its mechanism differs from traditional volumising collagen stimulators. Rather than relying on a strong inflammatory response to create thicker collagen deposition, Sunekos uses a patented amino acid complex combined with hyaluronic acid to support fibroblast activity in a more balanced way. This encourages the production of both Type I and Type III collagen, along with elastin, helping to improve dermal structure, elasticity and hydration without adding facial volume. The focus is skin quality and matrix integrity rather than contour change.
The unique combination of amino acids and hyaluronic acid works within the dermis to stimulate fibroblast activity and support the skin’s natural regenerative response. This process encourages collagen and elastin production, helping to improve skin quality, elasticity and hydration following treatment.
This encourages:
Collagen production- provides rigidity and strength.
Elastin manufacturing restores the pliability and elasticity.
Hydration within the skin is made possible by hyaluronic acid, which draws water into the skin.
Improved texture- smoother and finer.
Results develop gradually, with improvements emerging over the weeks following treatment. Skin typically appears brighter, softer and more refined, with enhanced firmness and elasticity. The outcome is subtle and balanced, maintaining natural facial expression without an overfilled look.

Areas Treated With Sunekos
Sunekos may be utilised to revive skin in multiple areasof skin, such as:
​Under-eyes: Revitalise skin crepiness, dark circles, and fine lines.
Face: Enhance the general luminosity, skin quality, and texture of the face
Neck and decolletage: These regions are likely to experience laxity and ageing. Sunekos aims to tighten and rejuvenate when applied to these areas.
Hands: Sunekos is formulated to improve skin smoothness and restore hydration at a deeper level. Supporting collagen and elastin production, it helps improve texture while boosting moisture retention, leaving the skin feeling supple and refreshed.

The Benefits of Sunekos
Stimulates natural collagen production: Sunekos targets fibroblasts in the skin, enhancing collagen and elastin synthesis to improve long-term firmness, elasticity, and strength.
​Improves skin quality: Hyaluronic acid, when combined with amino acids, helps restore deep skin hydration, making the skin smoother, firmer, and healthier-looking.
​Minimally invasive with little downtime: Sunekos is delivered via a series of fine, precise injections, making it well tolerated by most patients. Recovery time is typically short, with most patients returning to normal activities the same day.
For patients who are anxious about needles or have a lower pain threshold, Nitronox (“happy gas”) is available when clinically appropriate to improve comfort during the procedure.
​Suitable for multiple areas: This treatment can be used on the face, under-eyes, neck, décolletage, and hands, where skin quality often declines first.
​Personalised treatment for individual skin needs: Each Sunekos treatment plan at Beauty by Doctor is customised based on skin condition, concerns, and long-term rejuvenation goals.

Who Is Suitable for Sunekos?
Sunekos is often considered for patients who are starting to notice changes in skin quality rather than changes in facial volume.
You may be a suitable candidate if your concerns include fine lines, early laxity, crepey texture or persistent dryness that skincare alone is not addressing. It is also frequently prescribed by patients who prefer gradual improvement over time, rather than an immediate volumising effect.
Because Sunekos does not add fullness, it can be appropriate for those who wish to maintain their natural facial contours while improving skin firmness and elasticity. Delicate areas such as the under-eye region, neck and décolletage can also be treated where skin tends to thin earlier.
Sunekos is not designed to replace surgical lifting procedures. It is better suited to individuals seeking a non-surgical option focused on improving skin structure and hydration, with minimal interruption to daily life.
Suitability is confirmed during consultation at Beauty by Doctor, where your skin condition, medical background and aesthetic goals are reviewed in detail.

How does Sunekos differ from other Biostimulators?
Sunekos works through a specific amino acid complex, combined with hyaluronic acid, to support fibroblast activity within the dermis. This signalling pathway encourages the production of Type I and Type III collagen — the primary structural collagens responsible for skin strength and flexibility — while also supporting elastin synthesis.
Type I collagen provides tensile strength and density to the skin. Type III collagen contributes to elasticity and regenerative capacity, particularly in early remodelling phases. By supporting both collagen subtypes along with elastin, Sunekos aims to improve dermal structure in a balanced way, focusing on skin quality rather than volume.
Many traditional biostimulators rely on a controlled inflammatory response to stimulate collagen production. These treatments are often designed to restore volume through thicker collagen deposition over time. Sunekos differs in that it is amino acid–mediated rather than particle-driven. It is generally considered less volumising and more targeted toward improving skin texture, elasticity and hydration.
For patients seeking refinement of skin quality — particularly in delicate areas such as the under eyes, neck or décolletage — this distinction can be clinically relevant.

The Sunekos Treatment Experience
Treatment begins with an in-depth consultation at our Bondi Junction clinic. During this appointment, your skin is examined closely and your concerns are discussed openly. If Sunekos is deemed suitable for you by the treating doctor, from there, a treatment plan is mapped out according to the area being treated and the degree of laxity present. All procedures are overseen by Medical Director Dr Phoebe Jones.
On the day of treatment, Sunekos is placed into the skin using a series of fine, targeted injections. Most patients describe the sensation as brief and manageable.
It is normal to experience mild redness, light swelling or slight tenderness at the injection sites. These effects typically settle within 24 to 48 hours. As the treatment is non-surgical, most patients return to work or social activities the same day.
You will be provided with clear aftercare instructions to support recovery and optimise collagen response in the weeks ahead.

Sunekos Treatment Protocol
Sunekos treatment is performed as a structured course rather than a single appointment.
According to the manufacturer’s recommended protocol, the initial phase consists of three sessions spaced approximately 10 to 20 days apart.
At the first appointment, treatment typically includes:
• One vial of Sunekos 1200
• One vial of Sunekos Performa
Sunekos 1200 provides deeper dermal support where laxity is present, while Sunekos Performa targets collagen and elastin stimulation at a more superficial level. Using both formulations at the first session allows for comprehensive activation of the extracellular matrix.
The second session, performed 10 to 20 days later, generally involves:
• One vial of Sunekos Performa
The third session, again spaced 10 to 20 days later, includes:
• One vial of Sunekos Performa
This staged approach supports progressive collagen (Type I and III) and elastin synthesis while maintaining hydration within the dermis. The exact spacing and combination may be adjusted based on the treatment area, degree of laxity and individual skin response.

Results & Aftercare
Sunekos works progressively. The first changes are usually related to hydration — skin may feel smoother and appear more rested within the first couple of weeks. Structural improvement takes longer, as collagen and elastin production occurs gradually beneath the surface.
Because the treatment is delivered over three sessions, results tend to build with each appointment. Following the initial course, the skin continues to remodel over the next several weeks. Improvements in elasticity, texture and overall skin quality become more apparent as dermal support strengthens.
Longevity varies depending on age, baseline skin condition and lifestyle factors. Many patients choose to repeat treatment every six months to maintain collagen activity and skin resilience.
Aftercare is straightforward. It is generally recommended to:
Avoid direct sun exposure in the immediate post-treatment period;
Apply a broad-spectrum SPF daily;
Follow any individual skincare advice provided during your consultation.
Mild redness or swelling can occur but typically settles within 24 to 48 hours. Most patients resume normal activities the same day.
The overall aim is steady, natural improvement — skin that appears healthier, firmer and better hydrated without looking treated.m is consistent — healthier, stronger skin that looks refreshed without appearing altered.​

Sunekos vs Dermal Fillers
Please note that Sunekos is not a dermal filler. Dermal fillers are injected to add volume, correcting hollows or lost tissue. Instead, Sunekos focuses on making the skin fitter and more robust.
Sunekos and fillers can be combined in some cases to improve skin quality, and fillers can be used to enhance the volume where necessary for the patient. At Beauty by Doctor, we determine the best variant based on the patient's anatomy and aesthetic objectives.

FAQS
Is Sunekos right for all skin types?
Most skin types can be treated with Sunekos, but it is necessary to consult a professional to determine whether it is suitable for you.

How soon will I see results?
Some patients notice an early improvement in skin hydration and texture within the first one to two weeks. As collagen and elastin production increases, results continue to develop gradually during the following weeks, with progressive improvements in firmness, smoothness and overall skin quality.

Does the treatment hurt?
Sunekos is usually well-tolerated. The product is delivered using fine needles, and most patients report only mild, brief discomfort during the injections. For those who are more sensitive, additional comfort measures can be discussed during your consultation to ensure the experience is as comfortable as possible.

How long do results last?
Longevity varies from person to person and relies on factors such as age, skin quality and lifestyle. Following an initial treatment course, results can be maintained with periodic maintenance sessions, as recommended during your consultation. Regular follow-up helps to promote ongoing collagen stimulation and sustained skin quality improvements.
