What is SUNEKOSinjection?
SNECOS is an injectable formulation that contains non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid plus six types of amino acids. These two ingredients stimulate the fibroblast cells in the deep part of the skin, called the dermis, and increase the components that produce skin firmness and elasticity, such as collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. (Remodeling)
There are two types of hyaluronic acid: "cross-linked" and "non-cross-linked." The cross-linked type is the conventional hyaluronic acid most people picture. Specifically, this solid form of hyaluronic acid is placed deep within the skin to add firmness and elasticity and boost volume.
Non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid, on the other hand, is injected as a soft rather than solid form of hyaluronic acid. As it disperses through the skin, it naturally replenishes firmness and elasticity and adds volume.
Below are the names of the six amino acids contained in SUNEKOS and their actions. These amino acids act on the dermis deep within the skin to naturally increase collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.
1. Glycine｜Collagen production
2. L-proline｜Natural moisturizing factor (NMF), hyaluronic acid production, fibroblast stimulation
3. L-lysine｜Collagen production
4. L-alanine｜Elastin and collagen production
5. L-valine｜Elastin production, maintenance of skin firmness and elasticity
6. L-leucine｜Signals tissues to promote protein synthesis
There are two types of snecos.
Two types of SUNEKOS exist, SUNEKOS 200 and SUNEKOS 1200; the difference between the two is the "molecular weight" of the non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid. Specifically, SUNEKOS 200 is "low molecular weight" and SUNEKOS 1200 is "medium molecular weight.
These differences in molecular weight mean each is suited to different areas.
Please see the table below.
 SUNEKOS 200 |  SUNEKOS 1200 | |
|---|---|---|
| Component | Low molecular weightNon-cross-linked hyaluronic acid + 6 amino acids | Middle moleculeNon-cross-linked hyaluronic acid + 6 amino acids |
| Effect | Improved firmness and radiance, reduced fine lines, improved dark circles | Improvement of deep wrinkles and nasolabial folds |
| Areas of strength | Around the eyes, under the eyes | Nasolabial folds, marionette lines, hollow cheeks |
SUNECOS 1200 is effective for lines.
The table above shows that Sneco 1200 is more effective for lines.
For lines and deep wrinkles, SUNECOS 1200, which contains non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid with a larger molecular weight than SUNECOS 200, is more suitable.
When SUNECOS 1200 is injected, medium molecular weight non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid and six types of amino acids stimulate fibroblasts in the dermis deep within the skin, stimulating the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. The increase in collagen, elastin, and other substances in the skin increases the elasticity and firmness of the skin and improves sagging skin, which can be expected to improve the appearance of lines.
In addition, non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid and the six amino acids also have a moisturizing effect on the skin, so they can also moisturize the skin.
SUNECOS 200 is a formulation that specializes in improving fine lines and dark circles under the eyes. Click here for more information on SUNECOS 200.
When will it be effective?
Snekos is for treatment to the laugh lines,About four times every seven to ten days."It is recommended that the frequency and number of
Although the treatment is effective even once, the effect is maximized by implementing it with the number of times mentioned above.
In addition, although there are individual differences, the effects of the treatment begin to be felt gradually from about 2 weeks after the treatment, and the effects are easily felt about 2 months after the initial injection.
For those seeking immediate results, cosmetic surgery may be an option.
Recommended injection procedures for lines other than SUNECOS injections
I wonder if there are any other options for improving my lines besides snecos injections."
A formulation with similar properties to SUNECOS 1200 is Profibro. Like SUNECOS 1200, it can be used to improve lines by naturally increasing volume.
In the case of Profibro, it also works to plump up the fatty tissue in the area deep within the skin called the subcutaneous tissue. This treatment is especially recommended for those with age-related cheek bumps and loss of firmness in the cheeks.

Other options are conventional cross-linked hyaluronic acid rather than "non-cross-linked" hyaluronic acid such as Snekos and Profibro.
However, if you want to improve natural-looking lines, you should choose a non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid preparation such as Snekos.
Summary] For injection treatment, go to Smart Skin Clinic.
There are two types of SUNECOS, and SUNECOS 1200 is recommended for the treatment of laugh lines.
On the other hand, there are other injectable preparations that have a similar effect on the laugh lines. Smart Skin Clinic uses a formulation called Profilo.
If you are concerned about your smile lines, see your doctor and ask him or her to suggest an approach that works for you.
