Question 1

Is Sunekos a filler?

Accepted Answer

No. Sunekos is not a volumising filler. It does not add bulk or change facial shape. Instead, it works by improving skin quality through hydration and stimulation of collagen and elastin.

Question 2

What areas can be treated with Sunekos?

Accepted Answer

Sunekos can be used on:

Under-eyes
Forehead
Face
Neck
Upper lip

It is particularly suitable for delicate or thin-skinned areas where traditional fillers may not be appropriate.

Question 3

What are the two different products used?

Accepted Answer

Two different products are used: 1200 and Performa.

1200 + Performa are both injected at your first appointment and then Performa only at the second and third.  
·  Sunekos 1200 – A more concentrated formula with higher molecular weight hyaluronic acid and amino acids. Provides deeper structural support and collagen stimulation. Typically used once a year (every second maintenance treatment) to maintain long-term skin scaffolding.
·  Sunekos Performa – Focuses on hydration, elasticity, and radiance. Used in most sessions, including follow-up and maintenance, to smooth fine lines and maintain glowing, refreshed skin.

Question 4

How do I Prepare for my Treatment?

Accepted Answer

To ensure the best results and minimize the risk of bruising or swelling, we recommend:
Avoiding alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E, and herbal supplements like ginkgo or garlic for at least 48 hours prior. Avoid blood thinners with clearance from your prescriber. Avoid caffeine on the day prior to appointment.
Staying well hydrated and keeping your skin moisturized.
Arriving with clean skin free of makeup where possible.
Ensure skin is free of active infections in the area.
Discuss any medical conditions with your clinician (you must be physically well for your appointment).
If you’re prone to bruising, taking arnica tablets in the days before treatment may help.

Question 5

Consultation & Assessment: Personalized plan based on your needs

Question 6

What is the downtime & aftercare?

Accepted Answer

Downtime is minimal; most resume activities immediately
Possible small bumps, bruising or mild swelling (1–2 days of social downtime)
Our complimentary LED assists in reducing redness and some of the immediate swelling post treatment
Avoid exercise, alcohol, heat exposure, or facial massages for 24–48 hours

Question 7

How does the treatment feel?

Accepted Answer

Sunekos is very well tolerated, especially under the eyes
Areas such as the forehead or upper cheek may feel a little more sensitive and “spicy”
Comfort measures available: numbing cream, vibration tool, stress ball, and music

Question 8

Can Sunekos be combined with other treatments?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sunekos can be combined with other skin treatments such as BBL HEROic/Moxi, microneedling, or injectables as part of a comprehensive skin treatment plan. Your clinician will advise on appropriate timing and combinations.

Question 9

Is Sunekos safe?

Accepted Answer

Sunekos is a well-established treatment with a strong safety profile when performed by a qualified medical professional. It uses hyaluronic acid and amino acids that are naturally found in the body.

Question 10

Will I look different after treatment?

Accepted Answer

Sunekos is designed to improve skin quality rather than change facial features. Results are subtle and natural, with skin appearing fresher, smoother, and more hydrated.

Question 11

Is Sunekos suitable for under-eyes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sunekos is commonly used in the under-eye area due to its ability to improve crepey texture, fine lines, and hydration without adding volume.

Question 12

How long do results last?

Accepted Answer

Results typically last 6–12 months, depending on skin condition, age, and lifestyle factors. Maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain results. Results are cumulative and if you are taking care of your health and skin (e.g. with daily SPF), you will not return to baseline before your maintenance.

Question 13

How can I get the best results from Sunekos?

Accepted Answer

To achieve and maintain the best possible results from Sunekos, it’s important to support your skin both during and between treatments. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with good sleep, hydration, and balanced nutrition helps your skin recover and regenerate. Daily use of broad-spectrum SPF protects your skin from sun damage, which can undo treatment benefits. Using medical-grade skincare recommended by your clinician can also enhance and prolong results.

Question 14

What are the risks of Sunekos®?

Accepted Answer

Sunekos is generally very well tolerated, but as with any injectable treatment, there are potential risks and side effects to be aware of.
These may include:
Temporary swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection sites
Mild bruising
Itching or sensitivity in the treated area
Infection (rare, minimised with proper sterile technique)
Allergic reaction (very rare)
Expected effects:
Small raised bumps at the injection sites are a normal and expected part of the treatment and typically settle within 24-72 hours as the product integrates into the tissue.
Risks will be discussed with you in person as part of the informed consent process.
