Microneedling

Microneedling is a minimal invasive treatment which aims to cause fractional wounding that triggers an inflammatory response. When the skin is injured a series of reactions take place in order to maximise and repair tissue damage. This causes a healing cascade to regenerate and repair, stimulate collagen and elastin production and improve epidermal turnover and fortify the components of the extracellular matrix.

Micro-needling FAQ's

How does SuneKOS compare to filler?

Overall, Sunekos appears to be a better option than filler treatments for those with severe wrinkles or sun-damaged skin. Sunekos can treat multiple areas of the body, while fillers are mainly used for volume and definition.

Furthermore, Sunekos helps regenerate your extra-cellular matrix to improve skin condition from within.

Both Sunekos and Profhilo use hyaluronic acid but they differ in their synthesis as Sunekos has unmodified high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid in combination with amino acids, whereas Profhilo consists only of high and low molecular weight of Hyaluronic acid.

These treatments also differ in their approach and treatment protocols. Profhilo has designated injection sites, covering only the mid and lower third of the face, while Sunekos can be injected precisely in areas requiring improvement and also cover the forehead and periocular (under eye area). The Profhilo protocol recommends two sessions at least one month apart and a quarterly maintenance. Sunekos requires four sessions, spaced 14 days apart and the results can last up to 6 months.However, both treatments are effective in stimulating collagen and elastin production, leading to improved skin quality and a more youthful appearance.

Sunekos’ targeted approach and additional hydration benefits make it an attractive option for those seeking a more comprehensive skin rejuvenation solution.
