Sunekos

Sunekos is an injectable treatment that’s entirely different to filler treatments; this treatment uses a patented formula which combines amino acids (the essential building blocks of elastin and collagen) with hyaluronic acid.

Sunekos regenerates the Extra Cellular Matrix (ECM) of your skin and deeply hydrates and plumps the treated tissue. This leads to ‘dermal biogenesis’. The result? A reduction in the severity of your wrinkles, hydration to both the superficial and deep layers of your skin, a desirable volumizing effect and a dramatic boost to your elastin and collagen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sunekos is ideal for those who want to restore the naturally youthful look of your skin and improve signs of ageing.

This treatment is ideal if you have loose, crepey, thin skin and/or a loss of volume around your eyes. It is also suited to help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, crepiness, volume loss and facial volume loss. Sunekos can significantly regenerate dull skin and restore a natural-looking, youthful appearance.

At The Medic Clinic, Sunekos procedure is performed only by medical practitioners.

Intradermal treatment with Sunekos®corrects and protects the dermis from the signs of aging. Sunekos is the only natural product in professional dermo-aesthetics that stimulates the synthesis of collagen and elastin, restoring elasticity and volume to the skin.

Sunekos can effectively treat a wide range of skin issues including:

  • Loss of skin tone and skin sagging
  • Skin ageing
  • Severe wrinkles
  • Lack of hydration
  • Dark circles under eyes
  • Sun damage
  • Fine lines and wrinkles

It can also be used to treat the arms, inner thighs, and knees.

Yes, Sunekos has a good safety profile. It is very rare to get serious complications. At The Medic Clinic you will only ever be treated by a medical professional with extensive experience and the skills to handle possible complications. Consultations are an important part of the treatment process in allowing you to understand the treatment and to establish if the benefits of the treatment are outweighed by any possible side effects.

During a consultation, your characteristics, such as your area of concern and your medical status, will be assessed. Your medical practitioner will be able to discuss whether this treatment is appropriate for you, as well as any suitable alternative treatments. Your practitioner will discuss any possible side effects, questions you may have and any aftercare you should adhere to prior to you having treatment.

Mild swelling and bruising are the most common potential side effects immediately following treatment. 

No. The product will gradually wear off and your natural ageing process will continue. This treatment does not stop that natural ageing process.

As with most treatments, this can vary depending on where you have treated, your lifestyle and your metabolic rate; these factors usually influence the longevity of your results. For example, in our experience, those who smoke or frequently do cardio workouts can break-down hyaluronic acid faster than those who do not. The guidelines are to have maintenance treatments four to six months after your full treatment.

The level of discomfort is usually found to be mild and tolerable by patients. The most common feedback we receive is that the skin feels warm immediately following the injections. We understand that that each person’s tolerance to pain is different however and are happy to offer our patients additional local anaesthetic cream prior to the procedure should this be a concern of yours.

There are many similarities between Profhilo and Sunekos but, in our experience, Sunekos is generally better suited for skin with more advanced signs of ageing. Both treatments are a new type of injectable treatment completely different from skin boosters, mesotherapy and dermal fillers; they trigger a process in the skin called bio-remodelling.

The Profhilo product contains high concentrations of hyaluronic acid (HA) which deeply hydrates the treated tissue to help with signs of skin ageing and sagging skin as it stimulates your natural collagen and elastin production. The Clinics’ practitioners use Profhilo to refresh the skin, firm and smooth skin and give skin its’ ‘glow’ back.

Profhilo is used to treat the neck or mid to lower face only; the Profhilo protocol that’s followed enables the treatment to be best effective and is only used to treat those specific areas.
Usually, a single Profhilo treatment is made up of two separate sessions spaced approximately thirty days apart. Some people require a third session if their signs of ageing a more developed; this would be discussed upon assessment. Profhilo treatment is generally repeated after 6 months to maintain the results if desired.

The Sunekos product contains HA as well as powerful amino acids. Amino acids are proteins which help to firm and strengthen the skin whilst the HA deeply hydrates the treated tissue. Sunekos stimulates fibroblast activity in the Extra Cellular Matrix (ECM) which results in new collagen and elastin being produced.

Sunekos is able to treat signs of ageing on the forehead and around the eyes as well as the centre and peripherals of the face. Sunekos can treat concerns around the mouth, for example, lines above the top lip as well be used to volumize the tissue. 

There are two formulations of the product available:

Sunekos 200:

  • Hyaluronic Acid low molecular weight - age 25+
  • Sunekos ‘200’ has a low molecular weight which can be used around the eyes and forehead.

Sunekos 1200:

  • Hyaluronic Acid medium molecular weight - age 45+.
  • Sunekos ‘1200’ has a medium molecular weight and is used in the centre of the face and peripherals of the face,neck, decollate, hands, arms, inner thighs, and knees.
  • Sunekos® 1200 is a Class III medical device, available for both needle and cannula format.

A treatment of Sunekos is usually made up of 4 sessions which are spaced 7 to 10 days apart. The Sunekos treatment can be repeated after approximately 4-6 months to maintain the results if desired.

In our experience, whilst anyone can have both Profhilo or Sunekos it is our opinion that generally speaking Profhilo is well suited for those whose signs of skin ageing are that of a forty-year-old or less. Sunekos is usually better suited for slightly more challenging, sun damaged skin.

Both Profhilo and Sunekos have an excellent profile and we’ve seen very pleasing results from both products. At The Medic Clinic your practitioner will discuss which treatment they feel your skin is best suited for you upon assessment.

No. The product will gradually wear off and your natural ageing process will continue. This treatment does not stop that natural ageing process.
