One of the most common conversations we have at Mediject is with patients who have tried everything on the surface and feel like their skin still is not responding the way it used to.
Good skincare. Regular facials. Staying out of the sun. Drinking enough water. All of it. And yet something has shifted. The skin looks tired. It feels thinner. The texture is not what it was.
What many of these patients are experiencing is not a skincare problem. It is a biology problem. The skin’s own regenerative capacity has begun to slow. And no amount of topical product can fully address what is happening at a cellular level.
This is where Sunekos becomes relevant.
What Sunekos actually does
Sunekos is a regenerative injectable treatment combining hyaluronic acid with a patented formula of amino acids. It is not a filler. It does not add volume or reshape facial contours. What it does is deliver the building blocks the skin needs to produce its own collagen and elastin, stimulating the skin’s regenerative processes from within.
Collagen and elastin are the two proteins most responsible for skin firmness, elasticity, and resilience. From our mid-twenties onwards, the body produces less of both. Sunekos works by providing the amino acid precursors that fibroblasts need to synthesise these proteins more effectively, alongside hyaluronic acid that supports tissue hydration and cellular communication.
The result is skin that genuinely regenerates rather than simply appearing hydrated. Improved texture, better elasticity, a quality of skin that looks and feels healthier rather than simply plumper.
Who tends to benefit most from Sunekos
Sunekos works particularly well for patients noticing a gradual loss of skin quality rather than a structural concern. Skin that looks dull or lacks its former luminosity. Fine lines that appear more from skin thinning than from muscle movement. A crepey quality in areas like the neck, décolletage, or under the eyes. General skin fatigue that does not respond to skincare alone.
It is also well suited to patients who are cautious about injectables and want a genuinely regenerative approach that works with the skin’s own biology rather than adding something external to it.
For patients whose concerns extend specifically to the eye area, our guide to Sunekos for the eye area covers how Sunekos addresses crow’s feet, dark circles, and periorbital skin quality in more detail.
How Sunekos fits into a broader skin strategy
At Mediject, Sunekos rarely sits in isolation. It forms part of a broader approach to skin health and longevity that considers the full picture of how a patient’s skin is ageing.
For some patients, Sunekos works alongside treatments like JULÄINE™ for deeper collagen stimulation, or Ellansé where structural collagen support is also needed. For others it is the primary regenerative treatment, combined with medical-grade skincare and lifestyle support.
The philosophy is always the same. Understand the skin first. Recommend what it genuinely needs. Start with the least intervention required to achieve a meaningful result.

Care begins long before the first injection. At Mediject, that means the consultation is where the real work happens.
What treatment involves
Sunekos is typically delivered as a course of 4 sessions spaced 7 to 10 days apart for the initial programme. Results develop gradually over the course, with most patients noticing an improvement in skin quality, texture, and luminosity within and after the initial sessions. Maintenance is then recommended every 3 to 6 months depending on individual response and goals.
Treatment is well tolerated. Some temporary redness or swelling around the injection sites is normal and settles quickly. Most patients return to normal activities immediately.
Frequently asked questions
Is Sunekos a filler?
No. Sunekos does not add volume and is not designed to reshape facial contours. It is a regenerative treatment that stimulates the skin’s own collagen and elastin production through a combination of amino acids and hyaluronic acid.
How is Sunekos different from Profhilo?
Both are bio-remodelling treatments that work through hyaluronic acid, but Sunekos contains a specific amino acid complex designed to directly support collagen and elastin synthesis. Profhilo works primarily through intense hydration and indirect fibroblast stimulation. They address similar concerns through slightly different mechanisms and can complement each other within a broader skin strategy.
How many sessions do I need?
Most patients complete an initial course of 4 sessions spaced 7 to 10 days apart. Maintenance is then recommended every 3 to 6 months depending on individual response and skin goals.
Can Sunekos be combined with other treatments?
Yes. At Mediject, Sunekos is often used as part of a wider regenerative plan alongside JULÄINE™, Ellansé, polynucleotides, or PRP depending on what the patient’s skin needs. Every combination is planned carefully and introduced gradually. For patients interested in how Sunekos addresses the eye area specifically, our guide to Sunekos for the eye area covers this in detail.
Is Sunekos suitable for sensitive skin?
Generally yes. Because Sunekos works with the skin’s own biology rather than adding a foreign volumising agent, it is well tolerated by most skin types. Suitability is always confirmed at consultation.
Skin regeneration is not something that happens through one treatment or one product. It happens through a considered, ongoing strategy that supports the skin’s own biology over time.
At Mediject, Sunekos is one of several regenerative tools we use to help patients maintain healthy, resilient skin for longer. Whether it is right for you depends on a proper assessment of your skin, your goals, and your broader skin health picture.
