There are two types of Sunekos®: Sunekos® 200 and Sunekos® 1200:

• Sunekos® 200 is used to treat around the eyes, face, neck, chest and hands and is perfect for earlier signs of ageing
• Sunekos® 1200 is used in conjunction with Sunekos® 200 if your skin needs extra structural support to improve sagging skin or if you have deeper, more advanced wrinkles. Your specific requirements will be assessed and discussed with you prior to the treatment

This is a four-part treatment and each session is 7 -10 days apart. Each of the four sessions is an important part of the treatment process.

The procedure:
Depending on the area that is being treated Sunekos 200 protocol requires 4 treatments over a 6 week period, each treatment normally can be completed in 30 minutes.

Sunekos 200 acts in a physiological way; it is common to see improvements after the first session and in general it takes 7-10 days for the treatment to take full effect, and the results last 6 months (after which a follow-up appointment is required).

The results length depends on the number of previous treatments, the treatment areas, and your individual characteristics and lifestyle.

The injections themselves are relatively painless however numbing cream can be used prior to treatment.
The procedure has no downtime and the patient can immediately continue daily life as normal. The treated area may be a little pink at the site of injection that normally resolves after a few hours, as with any injectables there is always a small risk of bruising.

Sunekos® injections are very safe if administered correctly by a medical professional – Alina is highly qualified to carry out the injections safely.

However, although the treatments are very safe, they may not be suitable for people with certain medical conditions like: patients who are pregnant, breast-feeding, have severe allergies marked by a history of anaphylaxis, a history of severe allergies, or patients with a history of a compromised immune system. A full medical assessment is carried out prior to starting your treatment, so if you are not a suitable candidate, we will find out before your treatment begins.
