Sunekos vs bio-remodelling

Stabilised hyaluronic acid, at high concentration, formulated to spread through the tissue rather than hold its shape in one place. It hydrates from within and firms, and over a short course it supports the skin's own collagen and elastin production.

The protocol is short — typically two sessions four weeks apart — which is part of its appeal. It is efficient, and for the right skin the change in bounce and glow is substantial.

Hyaluronic acid plus a patented blend of six amino acids — the raw materials from which the skin builds collagen and elastin. The intention is not simply to hydrate but to give the skin the components to rebuild its extracellular matrix, the structural scaffolding that holds it firm.

The protocol is longer: usually four sessions spaced one to two weeks apart, with results continuing to develop after the course. It asks more of you in appointments and time.

If your skin is dull and lacks bounce but is reasonably thick and undamaged, bio-remodelling is usually the more efficient choice — fewer appointments, quick visible improvement in hydration and firmness.

If your skin has genuinely thinned and lost density — crepey, fragile, showing fine lines at rest rather than on movement — an amino-acid-based option generally does more, because the problem is a lack of structure rather than a lack of water.

Around the eyes, where skin is thinnest, the amino-acid options and polynucleotides both tend to outperform bio-remodelling for the same reason: a spreading hyaluronic acid has less to work with in very thin tissue.

Worth mentioning because they are constantly compared with both. Polynucleotides work differently again — they support the skin's own repair machinery rather than supplying either water or building blocks.

In practice the three overlap considerably and are often used in sequence rather than chosen between. Someone with thin, sun-damaged skin might have polynucleotides to improve repair, then bio-remodelling to maintain hydration.

Profhilo is the best-known bio-remodelling product but it is not the only one. We use Teoxane BabyGLOW for that role here, chosen on evidence, safety profile, manufacturing standards and how it behaves in the tissue rather than on name recognition.

If you specifically want Profhilo, say so at consultation and we will talk it through honestly — including where I think another product would serve you better, and where I think it would not matter.

By looking at your skin, pinching it, and assessing how it behaves — not from a menu. The questions are: is this skin dehydrated or is it thin? Is the problem quality across a broad area or density in a specific one? What has been tried, and how did it respond?

That is a genuine clinical decision, and it is a reasonable use of a consultation even if you leave without booking anything.
