Rebuild Skin From the Inside Out
Sunekos is a unique injectable treatment designed to restore skin health at a cellular level. Unlike traditional fillers, it doesn’t just fill lines, it stimulates your fibroblasts to produce more collagen and elastin, the key building blocks of firm, hydrated, youthful-looking skin.
At Appearance Coach, we love Sunekos for its ability to improve skin quality naturally, particularly in delicate or hard-to-treat areas like under the eyes, neck, and décolletage.
What Is Sunekos?
Sunekos is an injectable bioregeneration treatment that combines hyaluronic acid with a patented complex of amino acids. Together, they stimulate the activity of fibroblasts, which are the skin’s natural repair cells. This promotes the regeneration of collagen and elastin, restoring structure, hydration, and elasticity over time.
It’s a great choice for anyone wanting to support healthy skin aging without volume-adding fillers.

FAQs
How is Sunekos different from dermal fillers?
Sunekos doesn’t add volume. Instead, it stimulates your skin’s own production of collagen and elastin. It’s focused on skin quality and structure, not shape.
How many sessions will I need?
Most clients need a course of 3–4 treatments, spaced 14 days apart. We recommend maintenance treatments every 6–12 months for ongoing results.
Can I combine Sunekos with other treatments?
Yes — Sunekos pairs well with anti-wrinkle injections, LED, microneedling, or laser treatments. We’ll guide you on a safe, effective plan during your consultation.
Is it suitable for the eye area?
Absolutely. Sunekos is one of the safest and most effective injectable options for thin, crepey under-eye skin, where traditional fillers may not be suitable.
