Biostimulatory Skin Treatment
Sunekos is a biostimulatory injectable treatment designed to support the skin’s natural regenerative processes. Rather than adding volume, this treatment focuses on influencing collagen and elastin production within the dermis, contributing to changes in skin quality, elasticity and hydration over time.
Changes in skin texture, elasticity and hydration occur gradually as part of the natural ageing process. This treatment may be considered by patients seeking a non-surgical approach focused on skin quality rather than structural alteration.
Treatment options vary depending on individual anatomy, skin condition and treatment goals. A personalised treatment plan is developed following consultation.

What Is Sunekos?
Sunekos is composed of hyaluronic acid combined with a specific amino acid complex. These components are designed to support fibroblast activity within the dermis.
Fibroblasts are responsible for producing collagen and elastin, which contribute to the structural integrity and elasticity of the skin. This approach focuses on improving dermal structure and hydration rather than adding volume.
The treatment is generally considered for patients who prefer subtle, progressive changes in skin quality.

How Sunekos Works
Sunekos works within the dermis to support fibroblast function. This process contributes to the production of Type I and Type III collagen, along with elastin.
Collagen provides structural support and tensile strength, while elastin contributes to flexibility and resilience. Hyaluronic acid assists with hydration by attracting and retaining water within the skin.
This combined effect may contribute to improvements in skin texture, hydration and elasticity over time. Outcomes develop gradually and vary between individuals.

Treatment Areas
Sunekos may be considered for multiple areas where changes in skin quality are observed. Common areas include the under-eye region, face, neck, décolletage and hands.
These areas are often selected due to earlier changes in skin thickness, hydration and elasticity.

Potential Benefits
This treatment approach focuses on supporting collagen and elastin production within the skin. It may contribute to improvements in skin texture, hydration and elasticity over time.
It is performed in a clinical setting using fine injections. Most patients resume normal activities shortly after treatment, although mild redness or swelling may occur.
For patients who are sensitive to discomfort, additional comfort measures may be discussed during consultation.

Suitability
Sunekos is generally considered for patients experiencing early changes in skin quality, including fine lines, reduced elasticity or dryness.
It may be appropriate for those seeking a non-volumising approach that maintains natural facial contours.
It is not designed to replace surgical procedures or treatments aimed at structural repositioning.
Suitability is determined during consultation following a detailed assessment of your skin and medical history.

How Sunekos Differs from Other Biostimulators
Sunekos uses an amino acid–mediated approach combined with hyaluronic acid to support fibroblast activity.
Some other biostimulatory treatments rely on different mechanisms, including particle-based stimulation that may be associated with volumising effects.
This distinction is relevant for patients who are primarily focused on skin quality, particularly in delicate areas such as the under-eye region, neck and décolletage.
Your practitioner will determine the most appropriate option based on your treatment goals and anatomical considerations.

The Sunekos Treatment Process
Treatment begins with a consultation where your concerns, medical history and treatment goals are discussed.
If appropriate, a treatment plan is developed outlining the number of sessions and treatment intervals.
The procedure involves a series of small injections placed into targeted areas of the skin. Mild redness, swelling or tenderness may occur and typically settles within a few days.
Aftercare advice is provided to support recovery and optimise outcomes.

Sunekos Treatment Protocol
Sunekos is typically performed as a course rather than a single session.
A series of treatments spaced over several weeks is commonly recommended to support progressive collagen and elastin production.
The exact number of sessions and timing will vary depending on the treatment area and individual response.

Results and Aftercare
Initial changes are often related to hydration, with further structural changes developing over time as collagen and elastin production increases.
Results develop gradually and vary between individuals. Maintenance treatments may be recommended depending on your skin condition and treatment goals.
Following treatment, patients are generally advised to avoid excessive sun exposure and to use appropriate sun protection. Individual aftercare instructions will be provided during your consultation.

Combination Treatments
In some cases, Sunekos may be combined with other modalities to address different aspects of skin quality or structure.
Your practitioner will advise on appropriate combinations based on your individual treatment plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Sunekos suitable for all skin types?
Most skin types may be considered suitable, however this is confirmed during consultation following assessment.

When will I see results?
Changes in hydration may be noticed earlier, while structural changes develop gradually over several weeks. Outcomes vary between individuals.

Is the treatment uncomfortable?
Discomfort varies between individuals. Most patients describe the sensation as mild and brief.

How long do results last?
Longevity varies depending on factors such as skin condition, age and lifestyle. Maintenance treatments may be recommended.

Do I need a consultation?
Yes. A consultation is required to determine suitability and to develop an appropriate treatment plan.
