Sunekos offers a truly unique approach to skin rejuvenation, working from within to improve your skin's overall health. Find out more with our guide.
Sunekos is a fascinating and impressive treatment that works a bit different compared to traditional fillers. It focuses on improving the overall health and function of your skin, rather than just filling in the lines. I like to think of Sunekos as giving your skin a little boost from within!
Sunekos is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that targets your skin’s extracellular matrix (ECM), a complex network that supports and nourishes your skin cells. When the ECM is healthy, your skin looks and feels vibrant and youthful.
Unfortunately, as we age, our bodies naturally produce less collagen and elastin – two key proteins that form the foundation of this network. This decline leads to wrinkles, sagging, and a loss of that sought-after glow.
Sunekos provides the essential components to help your skin rebuild this network. By combining hyaluronic acid to hydrate the skin, and a special blend of amino acids, Sunekos helps your skin 'remember' how to make these vital proteins again, leading to a more natural and long-lasting rejuvenation.
Unlike some other injectable treatments that may rely on inflammation to stimulate collagen production, Sunekos works with the body's natural processes.
The hyaluronic acid in Sunekos interacts with specific receptors to trigger cell signalling, while the amino acids act as building blocks for collagen, elastin, and even fibronectin. This carefully balanced combination stimulates a gradual and controlled regeneration process, avoiding the potential for inflammation-related damage.
This physiological approach offers several key advantages:
Now, you might be wondering, 'Which Sunekos is right for me?' Great question! Let’s take a look at Sunekos’ two formulations – Performa and 1200.
Think of Sunekos Performa as a gentle touch-up. It's perfect for those just starting to notice the subtle signs of aging, like fine lines around the eyes or a slight loss of elasticity in the skin. Sunekos Performa provides a gentle nudge that encourages your skin to produce more collagen and elastin for a subtle, refreshed look.
Sunekos 1200, on the other hand, is more like a targeted intervention for more advanced concerns. If you're dealing with deeper wrinkles, sagging skin, or areas that have lost significant volume, 1200 is the way to go. It provides a more substantial lift and support, helping to restore a more youthful contour.
Sometimes, the best approach is a combination of both!
Performa focuses on enhancing the overall skin quality and elasticity, while 1200 provides a foundational support and addresses more significant volume loss. Combining them allows us to address both the subtle and more pronounced signs of aging for a truly comprehensive skin rejuvenation.
At the Anti Wrinkle Clinic, we prefer to treat the individual - not just the most common issues. After a friendly discussion surrounding your specific concerns and skin goals, I’ll tailor a treatment plan to ensure you achieve optimal results.
One of the things I love about Sunekos is its versatility. It's not just for your face (although it certainly works wonders there), but can be used to treat and refresh a variety of different areas.
We can even use Sunekos to address more unique parts of the body – such as cellulite and stretch marks – to enhance skin texture and firmness on areas like the thighs and abdomen.
The Sunekos treatment process is quite straightforward and generally well-tolerated. Each treatment session typically lasts around 30 minutes to an hour, and is administered in a series of 3-4 sessions, spaced 14 days apart. This allows your skin to gradually respond and build upon the results of each treatment.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the treatment itself. We use a topical anaesthetic to numb the treatment area beforehand, minimising any discomfort during the injections. After the numbing cream wears off, you may experience some mild discomfort, which can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol.
To minimise the risk of bruising, it's best to avoid blood-thinning medications such as aspirin and certain supplements a few days before your treatment. I suggest refraining from alcohol consumption for 24 hours prior to the procedure as this can also help reduce the risk of bruising. Other than that, simply stay well-hydrated in the days leading up to your treatment to help optimise your skin's condition.
As with any injectable treatment, some minor side effects are possible. These may include mild redness or swelling at the injection sites, and small bumps or bruises, which usually resolve within a few days. Fortunately, recovery time is minimal, and you can usually resume your normal activities immediately following the treatment.
Typically, you can expect to enjoy the rejuvenating effects of Sunekos for up to 6 months. However, individual results may vary depending on factors such as your skin's condition, age, and lifestyle. To maintain the results and enjoy continued radiance, I recommend a follow-up consultation and potential maintenance sessions to ensure your skin stays looking its best.
To ensure optimal results and minimise the risk of complications, I highly recommend you follow these simple post-treatment care instructions.
Sunekos can be a wonderful option for a wide range of individuals. If you're looking to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, whether it's crow's feet around the eyes, forehead lines, or the nasolabial folds, Sunekos can help smooth things out.
Furthermore, if you're noticing a loss of firmness in your skin, whether it's on your face, neck, or hands, Sunekos can help restore a more youthful contour. It can also revitalise tired-looking skin, leaving it looking more radiant and hydrated.
It's important to remember that everyone's skin is unique, and results may vary. During your consultation, we'll discuss your specific concerns and determine if Sunekos is the right treatment for you.
Sunekos offers a truly unique approach to skin rejuvenation. Instead of just filling in lines, it works from within to improve your skin's overall health and vitality. By hydrating your skin through hyaluronic acid, and encouraging it to produce its own collagen and elastin through a blend of amino acids, Sunekos helps you achieve a more natural, youthful glow that lasts.
Whether you're concerned about fine lines and wrinkles, loss of skin firmness, or simply want to revitalise tired-looking skin, Sunekos may be the perfect solution for you!
