"Sunekos" hyaluronic acid and amino acid injections

What is "Sunekos" and how does it work?

The "Sunekos" formula combines two key components: hyaluronic acid and a specific combination of amino acids. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance in the body, responsible for maintaining the skin's moisture balance. With age, its levels in the skin decrease, causing the skin to dry out and lose firmness and elasticity.

The amino acids in the formula serve a different function – they stimulate fibroblast activity, which leads to more intensive collagen and elastin synthesis. It is precisely because of this dual mechanism that "Sunekos" differs from conventional hyaluronic acid fillers: fillers mechanically fill a wrinkle or add volume, while "Sunekos" helps support the skin's regenerative processes.

Who is the "Sunekos" procedure suitable for?

"Sunekos" injections may be suitable for patients of various ages experiencing a loss of skin elasticity and tone. The procedure is also applied in cases of fine wrinkles in the face, neck, and décolletage areas, dry and tired-looking skin, following an intensive period of stress, or after seasonal skin changes.

For patients from the age of 30, the "Sunekos" procedure may be applied as a preventive measure, helping to maintain skin quality and delay the appearance of more pronounced signs of aging. The product is also used for rejuvenation of the skin on the hands and for skin regeneration following more aggressive procedures, such as chemical peels or laser interventions.

"Sunekos 1200" and "Sunekos Performa": the differences

There are two main products in the "Sunekos" range, each designed to address different skin concerns.

"Sunekos 1200" has a more intensive effect and is intended for structural skin rejuvenation. This product is more commonly used for more pronounced signs of skin ageing, as well as for the neck, décolletage, and hands, where signs of ageing are more evident. "Sunekos 1200" contains high molecular weight hyaluronic acid, which provides more intensive hydration and a longer-lasting effect, making it suitable for more pronounced signs of skin ageing.

"Sunekos Performa" is designed for general improvement of skin quality. This version is suitable for finer wrinkles and for evening out skin texture and tone. The procedure with "Sunekos Performa" is often chosen when skin changes are not yet pronounced, but a healthy, radiant appearance is desired.

Which product is more suitable in a given case is discussed during an individual dermatologist consultation, following an assessment of the skin condition and the patient's expectations.

What does the "Sunekos" procedure look like?

The "Sunekos" procedure begins with a consultation, during which the doctor assesses the skin condition, discusses expectations, and selects the appropriate product. Before the injections, the skin is thoroughly cleansed and, where needed, covered with an anaesthetic cream to reduce discomfort.

The injections are administered with an extremely fine needle, introducing the product into the middle layer of the skin. The procedure takes between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. "Sunekos" may be applied to the face, neck, décolletage, and hands.

After the procedure, mild redness or slight swelling may occur – this is a normal temporary skin reaction, which most commonly disappears within a few hours. Small papules may form at the injection sites, disappearing within a few days.

A course of 3–5 procedures is typically recommended, with maintenance treatments usually performed every 6-12 months, depending on individual needs and skin condition. The exact number of procedures and intervals are determined on an individual basis.
