What is SUNEKOSinjection?
In a nutshell,Non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid intended to help improve skin firmness and elasticity.
In more detail, Sunekos is a formulation whose main ingredients are non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid and six amino acids.
The blend ratio of this hyaluronic acid and amino acids is an internationally patented special formulation. This ratio has been shown to be efficient for collagen and elastin production. As a result, there is a strong likelihood of improving the skin's elasticity and firmness.
Made in Italy and holding CE Mark Class IIIApproved as compliant with European safety standardsand, in Europe, it is an injectable that has been approved as a medical device.
The hyaluronic acid in Sunekos is non-cross-linked, which suggests a low risk of reactions such as allergies.
Recommended if you have any of these concerns
・Wrinkles and sagging around the eyesare concerns
・dark circles under the eyesI want to improve
・I want to boost my skin's firmness and elasticity
・Those who want to avoid lumpiness from injections
With conventional hyaluronic acid injections, depending on the physician's skill and the amount injected, the treated area can end up lumpy or develop ridge-like swelling. In particular, when conventional hyaluronic acid was placed into fine lines around the eyes, the area sometimes swelled up at a later date. By contrast,Because Sunekos uses non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid, it is unlikely to leave the skin bumpy or with welt-like swelling after injection.The risk of embolism—in which the filler enters a blood vessel and blocks it—is also lower.
Effect
・Improvement of dark circles under the eyes
・Help improve wrinkles around the eyes
・Improvement of sagging under the eyes
・Improved skin firmness and elasticity
These effects can be expected. In addition, certain effects have been suggested in medical literature, as follows.
The study concluded that HA-AA application (≈ Sunekos injection) was effective in improving dark circles and wrinkles in women aged 30 to 55. Participant feedback also revealed an increase in eyebrow height and upper-eyelid height. Thus, HA-AA application (≈ Sunekos injection) may be used for periorbital rejuvenation.

On the other hand, an important point to understand is that it does not produce dramatic results in a single session.
It is said that the general procedure for SUNEKOS is to receive at least 4 sessions at intervals of 7 to 10 days. It is said that the actual significant effect can be felt one or two months after the fourth shot. Therefore, we hope you will recognize that you will see results 2 to 3 months after the start of the treatment.

SUNEKOS 200
A research paper evaluating the efficacy of Sunekos 200
Electroporator administration of SUNEKOS 200 was found to improve skin hydration, sebum levels, firmness, and skin count, similar to intradermal therapy. The number of fine lines and wrinkles on the skin surface is improved. However, the effects are less noticeable and less lasting than those obtained with intradermal therapy.
Prof Raffaele Rauso, et al. Clinical Trial for Assessing the Effectiveness and Tolerability of the Medical Device Sunekos 200, Applied with Electroporator in Skin Ageing. Clinical Dermatology Open Access Journal (CDOAJ).
This is a study of a method administered by machine rather than by injection, and it concludes that injection is more effective.
What matters isSunekos200helps improve skin firmness and wrinklesThis means the possibility has been suggested.
