Sunekos is an injectable treatment containing a patented formula of amino acids and Hyaluronic acid. It regenerates the ExtraCellular Matrix (ECM) by stimulating the fibroblasts in the skin to produce a complete mix of collagen and elastin.
Sunekos is a great option for patients who want to maintain a more natural, fresh look. Sunekos is an extremely versatile product and can be used on the face, neck, décolleté, hands, arms, inner thighs, knees and the under eye area.
It can be used to treat a variety of indications such as loss of tone, skin ageing and premature skin ageing, dryness, solar elastosis, acne, sun damage, dark circles under the eye, fine lines and wrinkles. A combination of amino acids and Hyaluronic acid can be used to target sagging skin and severe wrinkles.
FAQ’s
+ What does the treatment involve?
Before your treatment begins, we will discuss your aims and objectives, explain the various therapeutic options, and will determine if you are a suitable candidate.
Prior to treatment the area is marked and cleaned and a topical numbing cream is applied. The treatment generally takes 15-20 minutes and involves the injection of small volumes of fluid into the target areas using a very fine needle.The procedure is usually painless due applying an ice pack or numbing cream to the area before injecting.
The Sunekos protocol requires 4 treatments, 7-10 days apart however, it is common to see improvements after the first session.
+ How long does the treatment last?
Depending on the condition of the client's skin, the results of Sunekos are visible for up to 6-9 months before a maintenance/booster treatment is required. Clients can choose to do a full cycle (4 treatments) of Sunekos every 6 months or have a booster (2 treatments) every 3-4 months.
