Biostimulation Sunekos

What Sunekos is

Sunekos is an injectable skin booster combining low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid with a patented blend of six amino acids: glycine, l-proline, l-leucine, l-lysine, l-valine and l-alanine. These amino acids are the actual building blocks of collagen and elastin — not signal molecules, but the raw material the skin uses to rebuild its extracellular matrix.

It is, like Profhilo and polynucleotides, a treatment for skin quality rather than facial volume. It does not add contour, fill hollows or define jawlines.

What Sunekos is best for

Sunekos has carved a particular niche around the eyes, lower face and neck — areas where the skin is thin, the consequences of placing volume are unforgiving, and gentle skin-quality improvement is what clients actually need. Common indications include:

• Crepey, dehydrated under-eye skin in clients who are not candidates for tear-trough filler
• Lower-face quality loss in clients in their 30s and 40s who do not yet need bio-stimulation but want a refresh
• Crepey, sun-aged neck and décolletage
• Pre-event subtle improvement as part of a planned skin programme

Two formulations

We use two Sunekos formulations:

• Sunekos 200 — finer molecular weight, suited to delicate periorbital skin and gentle starts
• Sunekos 1200 — higher molecular weight, used for more advanced laxity or body areas

We pick the formulation at consultation, often using 200 for the eye area and 1200 for the lower face or neck within the same overall plan.

Mechanism

The amino acid blend supplies fibroblasts with the substrates needed to synthesise new collagen and elastin. The hyaluronic acid component provides immediate hydration support and a temporary scaffold. Together, the two components support a measured, gradual improvement in dermal density and elasticity — without the abrupt volume-change profile of filler.

Who suits the treatment

Sunekos suits adults from late 20s onwards with concerns around skin quality rather than volume — particularly clients with thin or reactive periorbital skin, clients new to injectables wanting a gentle entry point, and clients maintaining results between Profhilo or polynucleotide courses.

It is not appropriate during pregnancy or breastfeeding, in active skin infection, or in clients with known hypersensitivity to product components.

What happens on the day

After consultation and topical anaesthetic, we deliver Sunekos as a series of small papular injections across the planned area. Periorbital treatment takes around 15–20 minutes; combined face/neck around 30 minutes. Small papules at each injection point typically resolve within an hour or two. There is no real downtime, though bruising is more likely around the eyes than elsewhere.

Results timeline and maintenance

Hydration and softness improvements are usually noticed within 1–2 weeks of the second session. Full results — improved skin density, elasticity and quality — develop over 3–4 weeks after the course is complete. Maintenance is typically a single session every 4–6 months, often alternated with polynucleotides or Profhilo as part of an ongoing skin-quality programme.
