What are the disadvantages of SUNECOS injections? Explained in an easy-to-understand manner
I'd like to try snekos injections, but I'd have to do some research to see if there are any downsides..."
I wonder if it's safe to get a snecos shot?"
I'm worried about the possibility of internal bleeding..."
Hello, I am a doctor at Smart Skin Clinic, a cosmetic dermatology clinic.
Snecos injections are known as an effective approach to dark circles and fine lines under the eyes. However, when you are ready to receive these injections, do you have any of the above concerns?
Although cosmetic medicine tends to focus only on the advantages, I believe that a proper understanding of the disadvantages will help you make a decision to undergo the procedure with peace of mind.
Therefore, from a professional standpoint of cosmetic dermatology, we will explain the disadvantages of SUNECOS injections in an easy-to-understand manner.
Conclusion: There are no major disadvantages to snecos injections.
First, let me just conclude.
Snecos injections include the so-calledThere are no major risks, side effects, or other disadvantages.
What are the major risks and side effects, for example, are blindness and skin necrosis with hyaluronic acid injection therapy. Hyaluronic acid injection therapy can cause a side effect called vascular embolization.
This risk can be reduced to as little as possible by the skill of the practitioner, but the risk is not zero.
On the other hand, there is no risk of such serious side effects with regard to SUNECOS injections. This is due to the fact that SUNECOS is made of "non-cross-linked" hyaluronic acid. Conventional hyaluronic acid is "cross-linked".
Very roughly, "cross-linked" = hard and solid, and "non-cross-linked" = smooth, soft, and fluid. You can imagine that a hard substance will clog a blood vessel, but a soft substance cannot clog a blood vessel, can it?
We hope you understand that there are no major disadvantages, but the disadvantages themselves do exist, which we will explain in the following sections.
Disadvantages of SUNECOS injections
(1) Painful during treatment.
Snekos will be injected mainly under the eyes.
Injection is a pain that exists in two ways
(1) Pain when needles are inserted
(2) Pain when injecting the formulation
As for (1), the pain is common to all formulations. As for (2), the pain varies greatly depending on the formulation. For example, Botox and Rejuran are said to be very painful. As for SUNECOS, the pain of (2) is not that strong.
However, the pain of needle insertion in (1) is still present, and I would say it is a disadvantage.
There is no way to reduce the pain here, but there is a way to use a very fine needle. Please see the following image.
By making the needles thinner, it is difficult to reduce pain to zero, but it is possible to reduce it.
(2)Redness and swelling occur
Injection of snecos causes almost 100% redness and swelling like mosquito bites.
However, this phenomenon is a natural medical phenomenon. Since "water" is injected into the skin, it is natural for the skin to swell (swell), and redness is also a natural biological reaction to the needle puncture.
So there is no need to worry, but it will look like you have been bitten by mosquitoes in several places, which is what we call downtime.
This downtime generally improves within about 24 hours. Swelling usually goes down within 24 hours, but redness may last up to 3 days.
(iii) Internal bleeding may occur.
You have probably heard of internal bleeding. It is bleeding under the skin (internally) and appears bluish.
Although sometimes described as a medical error or lack of skill, internal bleeding inevitably occurs at a certain rate.
I will explain why it happens.
Under the skin (inside) is as shown in the following image. Please focus on the "capillaries" in this image.
You may not be familiar with them, but as the name implies, they exist like a spider web of hair-thin blood vessels. Since they are not large blood vessels, they cannot be visually confirmed.
When the needle pierces this blood vessel, the blood vessel breaks. Since it is not a large blood vessel, the bleeding itself is small, but it remains as an internal hemorrhage.
How many days does it take to heal?
It varies from person to person, but can be from 1 week to 2 weeks at the most.
preventive measure
It is not possible to prevent 100% by doing these things, but it is possible to reduce the probability. (*This is to be performed by a physician.)
(1) Determine where blood vessels are likely to be located and avoid them.
(2) After injecting, press down firmly (to stop bleeding)
(4) One time may not have a significant effect.
Unlike conventional hyaluronic acid, SUNECOS is a procedure that activates your own cells and increases collagen and elastin, the components that are the source of skin elasticity and firmness, rather than physically inserting them.
Therefore, the recommended number of treatments for the SUNECOS formula is a set of four sessions, and you may not see significant results after just one session. (There are cases where significant results can be achieved even with one session.)
If you want to see solid results, take a set of four sessions.
(5) Must be hit four times in a row in a short period of time (*not required)
The recommended number and frequency of SUNECOS injections are as follows
- How many times is it best to take SUNECOS?"
-
Set of 4I think it would be a good idea to take it in
- How long is the best interval between visits?"
-
About 2 weeks intervalis a good idea.
Since such frequency and frequency are recommended to maximize the effect, it is better to follow these procedures if possible.
This would require a visit to the clinic every two weeks, which may be a disadvantage in terms of the difficulty of visiting the clinic.
It does not necessarily have to be exactly two weeks, and is only a guideline.
⑥The effect is not permanent.
This is not a phenomenon limited to SUNECOS, but sadly, humans age, so basically, as the years go by, if nothing is done, it will go in a negative direction.
So, even if fine lines, dark circles, etc. are improved with SUNECOS, it is important to keep in mind that it is not permanent.
(g) High fees
The price range for SUNECOS is 50,000 yen to 90,000 yen per session. (as of January 2024)
One time is not cheap, but as we mentioned earlier, a set of three times is recommended to produce the effect firmly, so the market price is 200,000-360,000 yen for a set of four times.
Although not a side effect/risk, I would say that the price/cost is a disadvantage.
Advantages of SUNECOS injections
I have explained the disadvantages so far, but I would like to conclude with a few words about the advantages.
There are two main advantages of SUNECOS.
(1) Effective approach to the eye area, which has been difficult to improve in the past
Until now, there have been few effective methods to improve the eye area. In such a situation, a formulation such as SNECOS was introduced, and the following effects have been obtained.
(1) Improvement of dark circles under the eyes
(2) Improvement of fine lines around the eyes
(iii) Improvement of volume loss after debridement
I would say that this is an advantage for those who have problems around their eyes, as they now have a good option.
(2) Natural and natural improvement is possible
I want to improve my skin, but I don't think surgery is the way to go."
I don't want to look unnatural after a cosmetic procedure..."
Some of you may think this way.
SUNECOS injections are a formulation that solves this problem. As mentioned in the disadvantages section, SUNECOS injections nourish and activate cells in the dermis, which naturally increases the collagen and elastin content of the skin, thereby increasing volume.
Since no new material is physically inserted into the face, a natural and natural improvement can be achieved.
