Sunekos skin booster treatment

What is Sunekos?

Sunekos is a patented injectable skin booster that combines a precise blend of amino acids with hyaluronic acid to regenerate the extracellular matrix (ECM) — the structural scaffolding of your skin. Unlike treatments that simply hydrate or fill, Sunekos works by providing the essential building blocks your skin needs to produce its own collagen and elastin naturally, restoring the skin's architecture from within.

Dr. Shaleen uses Sunekos to address a wide range of skin concerns, including fine lines, dark circles, skin laxity, and overall loss of skin quality. Available in two formulations — Sunekos 200 for lighter rejuvenation and Sunekos 1200 for deeper structural repair — this treatment can be tailored to your specific needs for natural, progressive results.

Key Benefits:

  • Regenerates the extracellular matrix
  • Rebuilds collagen and elastin naturally
  • Effective for dark circles and under-eye area
  • Improves skin firmness and hydration
  • Two formulations for tailored treatment

How Sunekos Works The Science Behind ECM Regeneration

Sunekos provides the precise building blocks your skin needs to rebuild itself from within

ECM Regeneration

Sunekos regenerates the extracellular matrix — the structural framework of collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans that gives skin its firmness, elasticity, and hydration.

Amino Acid Formula

A patented combination of 6 amino acids (glycine, L-proline, L-leucine, L-lysine, L-alanine, and L-valine) provides the precise building blocks needed for collagen and elastin synthesis.

Hyaluronic Acid

Non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid works synergistically with the amino acids to hydrate the skin and create the optimal environment for ECM regeneration.

Two Formulations

Sunekos 200 targets fine lines, dehydration, and early ageing, while Sunekos 1200 provides deeper structural repair for more significant skin laxity and volume loss.

Fibroblast Activation

The amino acid–HA complex stimulates fibroblasts to produce new collagen (types I and III) and elastin, genuinely rebuilding the skin's internal support structure.

Under-Eye Specialist

Sunekos is one of the few treatments specifically suited for the delicate periorbital area, effectively treating dark circles, hollowing, and crepey under-eye skin.

How Sunekos Treatment Works

Your journey to naturally rebuilt, rejuvenated skin

~ 1 ~
Consultation & Skin Analysis

Dr. Shaleen will conduct a thorough skin assessment, discussing your concerns, skin quality, and treatment goals. She'll evaluate your skin condition and determine whether Sunekos 200, 1200, or a combination is the ideal approach for your needs.

~ 2 ~
Preparation

Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed and a topical numbing cream applied to ensure maximum comfort during the treatment. The target areas will be assessed and marked for precise injection placement.

~ 3 ~
Injection Technique

Dr. Shaleen will deliver the Sunekos solution using precise micro-injections into the dermal layer of the skin. For the under-eye area, a gentle technique is used to treat this delicate zone with maximum comfort and safety.

~ 4 ~
Post-Treatment Care

A soothing serum or cooling product may be applied to calm the skin. Dr. Shaleen will provide detailed aftercare instructions to optimise your results and ensure comfortable healing.

~ 5 ~
ECM Rebuilding Phase

Over the following weeks, the amino acid and hyaluronic acid complex stimulates your fibroblasts to regenerate the extracellular matrix. New collagen and elastin are produced, progressively improving skin structure, firmness, and hydration.

~ 6 ~
Treatment Course & Maintenance

Complete your recommended course for optimal results — typically 4 weekly sessions for Sunekos 200 or 3 sessions spaced 3-4 weeks apart for Sunekos 1200. Maintenance treatments every 6-12 months help sustain your rejuvenated results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Sunekos skin booster treatment

Sunekos 200 contains a lighter formulation suited for treating fine lines, early ageing, dehydration, and delicate areas such as the under-eyes. It is typically administered as a course of 4 weekly sessions. Sunekos 1200 has a higher concentration of hyaluronic acid and is designed for deeper structural repair, addressing more significant skin laxity, volume loss, and deeper wrinkles. It is usually given as 3 sessions spaced 3-4 weeks apart. Dr. Shaleen will recommend the best formulation — or a combination of both — based on your skin assessment.

Most patients report minimal discomfort. A topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure to maximise comfort. You may feel small pinpricks during the injections, but the treatment is generally very well-tolerated. For the under-eye area, Dr. Shaleen uses particularly gentle techniques with fine needles to ensure a comfortable experience.

Yes! Sunekos is one of the most effective treatments for the delicate under-eye area. It helps to rebuild the thin, fragile skin in this region by stimulating collagen and elastin production, improving hydration, and reducing the dark, hollow appearance. Sunekos 200 is particularly well-suited for the periorbital area due to its lighter formulation, making it safer and more effective than many alternatives for this challenging treatment zone.

Some patients notice an improvement in skin hydration after the first session. However, as Sunekos works by stimulating your body to rebuild the extracellular matrix, the most significant results develop progressively over the treatment course. Optimal results are typically visible 4-6 weeks after the final session, with skin continuing to improve as new collagen and elastin mature.

For Sunekos 200, the standard protocol is 4 sessions spaced 1 week apart. For Sunekos 1200, it's typically 3 sessions spaced 3-4 weeks apart. Some patients benefit from a combined protocol using both formulations. Maintenance treatments every 6-12 months help sustain and build upon your results. Dr. Shaleen will create a personalised plan during your consultation.

Sunekos is unique because of its patented combination of amino acids and hyaluronic acid that specifically targets the extracellular matrix. While other skin boosters primarily hydrate (like Profhilo) or provide vitamins (like NCTF), Sunekos provides the precise building blocks needed for your skin to rebuild its own structural framework of collagen and elastin. It is also one of the few treatments specifically designed and proven effective for the delicate under-eye area.

Yes! Sunekos works beautifully alongside other aesthetic treatments. It can be combined with Profhilo, polynucleotides, anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers, or microneedling as part of a comprehensive rejuvenation plan. Many practitioners use Sunekos for the under-eye area alongside Profhilo for the wider face for a complete skin quality overhaul. Treatments should be properly spaced — Dr. Shaleen will advise on the optimal combination and timing.

Sunekos has minimal downtime. You may experience some redness, swelling, and small bumps at injection sites for 24-48 hours. The under-eye area may show more noticeable swelling or bruising due to its delicate nature, but this typically resolves within a few days. Most patients return to their normal activities immediately, though you should avoid makeup, exercise, and heat exposure for 24 hours.
