Sunekos in Rossendale
An amino acid and hyaluronic acid injectable that supports the skin's extracellular matrix — used where skin has lost density.
In short
Sunekos combines hyaluronic acid with amino acids to give the skin the raw materials to rebuild its own matrix, used where skin has thinned, as a course of four sessions one to two weeks apart.

Sunekos combines hyaluronic acid with a patented blend of amino acids intended to support the skin's extracellular matrix — the structural scaffolding that holds skin firm. It is used where skin has thinned and lost density, and it is particularly well regarded around the eyes.
How it differs
Where a skin booster largely hydrates and a polynucleotide supports repair, Sunekos is formulated to give the skin the raw materials to rebuild its own matrix. In practice the three overlap, and which one I recommend depends on your skin rather than on a fixed protocol.
Every treatment begins with a full-face assessment and an honest conversation. If I do not think a treatment is clinically indicated or right for you, I will say so and explain why — including when the answer is to do nothing.
Course and results
A course of four sessions, spaced seven to ten days apart, is typical. Results continue developing after the course completes.
You will be given written aftercare before you leave, and a direct number to reach me on if anything concerns you afterwards. Reviews are offered at two weeks so we can assess the result together and adjust if needed.

Common questions
Sunekos — what people ask
- Sunekos or polynucleotides — which is better?
- Neither is universally better; they suit different skin. Sunekos is formulated around rebuilding the extracellular matrix, polynucleotides around supporting repair. I assess your skin and recommend the one that fits, and sometimes the answer is a combination.
- Is it good for under the eyes?
- It is one of the areas it is most used for. As with any under-eye treatment, correct assessment of what is actually causing the appearance matters more than the product chosen.
