The Radiance Edit
Sunekos
Targeted Regeneration for Fine Lines
Sunekos is an injectable skin booster that enhances radiance, strengthens dermal structure, and smooths fine lines, making it ideal for those seeking subtle, skin focused rejuvenation before embarking on deeper regenerative or lifting treatments. It is particularly effective for fine lines, crepey skin and delicate, hard to treat areas such as the under eyes, neck and hands.
How it works
Sunekos combines low molecular weight hyaluronic acid with six essential amino acids, triggering a process called dermal biogenesis, the ordered, simultaneous regeneration of both collagen and elastin. This dual action firms and improves the elasticity of the skin while also restoring hydration, making it especially effective in thinner, more delicate areas of skin.
Who it is for
Sunekos suits anyone with fine lines, crepey skin, dark circles or skin laxity, particularly in delicate areas such as the under eyes, neck and hands where other treatments can be more difficult to use. It is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
What to expect
The initial course usually involves 3 to 4 sessions, spaced 7 to 14 days apart. Sunekos is available in different strengths, Performa for fine lines and more subtle improvements, and 1200 for additional structural support where skin laxity is more advanced. Downtime is minimal, though some mild redness, bruising or swelling can occur temporarily at injection sites.
Dr Vix Manning's approach
Dr Vix Manning often recommends Sunekos for the more delicate areas of the face and body where a gentler, more targeted approach is needed, choosing between Performa and 1200, or combining the two, depending on your individual skin and concerns. It fits naturally within her foundations before decorations philosophy.
