Sunekos

Rebuild Your Skin’s Foundation From Within

What It Is

Sunekos is an injectable treatment that combines hyaluronic acid with a patented blend of six amino acids. This specific combination works synergistically to rebuild the extracellular matrix, the structural framework that gives skin its firmness, elasticity, and hydration. It is one of the few treatments that provides the raw materials your skin needs to regenerate itself.

What It Does

By supplying both hydration and the building blocks for new collagen, elastin, and fibronectin, Sunekos restores skin quality at a structural level. Fine lines soften, texture becomes smoother, and elasticity improves as the regenerative process takes hold. The treatment is particularly effective for delicate areas such as around the eyes, the neck, and the hands.

The Approach

A typical course involves three to four sessions spaced two to three weeks apart. Two formulations are available, allowing Dr Etok to tailor the treatment to the severity of your concerns. Results begin to appear within 10 to 14 days and continue to improve across the course, with effects lasting up to six months or longer.

Is Sunekos Right For You?

Sunekos suits clients who want to improve skin quality through genuine regeneration rather than temporary hydration or volume. Ideal if you are noticing fine lines, loss of firmness, crepey texture, or dullness and want a treatment that works with your biology to rebuild rather than mask. It is particularly well-suited to delicate areas that other treatments may not reach effectively. If you are looking for dramatic volume or an instant transformation, this is not the right treatment. Sunekos rewards patience and commitment to the full course.

THE TREATMENT PROCESS

Amino Acids and Hyaluronic Acid Working in Synergy

Sunekos is injected into the skin using fine needles, targeting the areas where regeneration is most needed. The hyaluronic acid provides immediate hydration while the amino acids signal your fibroblasts to produce new collagen, elastin, and fibronectin. Unlike treatments that rely on inflammation to trigger a healing response, Sunekos works physiologically, stimulating regeneration through a controlled, natural process.

The procedure takes around 20 to 30 minutes with minimal discomfort. Mild swelling or bruising at the injection sites may occur and typically settles within a day or two. Results develop gradually as your skin responds and rebuilds its structural framework. Most clients notice visible improvements in texture, firmness, and hydration from around two weeks, with continued progress across the full course of treatment.

Answers to Common Questions About Your Treatment

Find helpful guidance on what to expect before and after your appointment. These answers are based on real questions from clients just like you.

Most skin boosters rely on hyaluronic acid alone to hydrate the skin. Sunekos combines hyaluronic acid with a patented blend of six amino acids that provide the actual building blocks your skin needs to produce new collagen, elastin, and fibronectin. This means it does not just hydrate; it rebuilds the extracellular matrix, the structural foundation that determines your skin’s firmness, elasticity, and resilience.

Performa uses a lower molecular weight hyaluronic acid and is designed for fine lines, mild laxity, and overall skin quality improvement. It works well for most clients and is particularly effective for delicate areas like around the eyes. Sunekos 1200 uses a higher molecular weight hyaluronic acid and is designed for deeper wrinkles, more significant sagging, and areas that need additional structural support. Dr Etok will recommend the most appropriate formulation during your consultation.

Most clients benefit from a course of three to four sessions spaced two to three weeks apart. Some clients may need both formulations used in combination, with the 1200 applied first to provide structural support before Performa refines and completes the result. After the initial course, maintenance sessions every six months help sustain the regenerative benefits.

Initial improvements in hydration and skin quality typically become noticeable within 10 to 14 days. The deeper structural changes develop progressively as collagen and elastin production increases over the following weeks. Full results become apparent after completing the course, with benefits lasting up to six months or longer depending on your skin’s condition and lifestyle.

Downtime is minimal. You may experience mild swelling, redness, or small bruises at the injection sites, which usually settle within a day or two. Most clients return to their normal routine immediately. It is advisable to avoid intense exercise, alcohol, and direct sun exposure for 24 hours after treatment.

Discomfort is mild. The needles used are very fine, and most clients describe a light pricking sensation during the injections. A topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand if preferred, though most clients find it unnecessary. The procedure typically takes 20 to 30 minutes and is well-tolerated.

Yes. Sunekos pairs well with a range of other treatments and can enhance their effects. It works particularly well alongside microneedling for texture improvement, PRP for additional growth factor stimulation, and polynucleotides for deeper cellular repair. Dr Etok will advise on the best combination and sequencing within a phased treatment plan.

Sunekos is effective across the full face and is particularly well-suited to delicate areas that other treatments may struggle with. It is commonly used around the eyes, across the forehead, and on the neck, decolletage, and hands. Its gentle, physiological approach makes it one of the few injectable treatments appropriate for the thin, fragile skin of the periorbital area.
