Sunekos Skin Booster: Improving Skin Quality and Hydration from Within
If your skin feels dehydrated, dull, or less elastic but you are not looking for added volume or dramatic change, Sunekos may be the ideal treatment for you.
Sunekos is a regenerative skin booster designed to improve skin quality at a cellular level. Rather than filling or reshaping the face, it works by stimulating the skin’s natural repair processes to support hydration, elasticity, and overall skin health.
Based in Porirua, our clinic welcomes clients from Whitby, the wider Porirua area, and across the greater Wellington region who are looking for subtle, natural skin rejuvenation.
What Is Sunekos?
Sunekos is an injectable skin booster that combines hyaluronic acid with a precise blend of amino acids. This formulation is designed to stimulate fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin in the skin.
By supporting these natural processes, Sunekos helps improve the structure and quality of the skin from within, rather than masking signs of ageing at the surface.
Sunekos does not add volume and does not change facial shape, making it a popular option for clients who want refreshed, healthy looking skin without an overdone appearance.
Sunekos is one of several injectable treatments known as skin boosters. If you are new to this type of treatment, our guide to how skin boosters work and who they benefit explains the broader approach in more detail.
How Does Sunekos Work?
As we age, the skin naturally loses collagen, elastin, and hydration supporting proteins. This leads to fine lines, reduced elasticity, dullness, and a tired appearance.
Sunekos works by:
delivering hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate the skin
providing amino acids that support collagen and elastin production
stimulating fibroblasts to regenerate the skin’s extracellular matrix
improving firmness, elasticity, and texture over time
This process helps restore skin quality gradually and naturally.
What Skin Concerns Can Sunekos Help With?
Sunekos is particularly well suited to clients concerned about skin quality rather than volume loss.
It is commonly used to improve:
dehydrated or dull skin
fine lines and early wrinkles
loss of elasticity and firmness
uneven skin texture
delicate under eye skin, including fine lines and a tired appearance
Because it works within the skin, results develop progressively and look natural.
What Happens During a Sunekos Treatment?
Your treatment begins with a free consultation to discuss your skin concerns, goals, and medical history. This allows us to determine whether Sunekos is the right option for you.
Sunekos treatments are performed by qualified and highly trained Registered Nurses and involve:
a series of small injections
minimal discomfort
little to no downtime
For optimal results, Sunekos is typically delivered as a course of treatments, usually three sessions spaced around two weeks apart. Your individual plan will be discussed during consultation.
When Will I See Results?
Many clients notice improvements in skin hydration and texture after their first treatment.
Results continue to improve as collagen and elastin production is stimulated over time. The best results are usually seen after completing the recommended treatment course.
Results can last several months, with maintenance treatments recommended to support ongoing skin health.
Is Sunekos Safe?
Sunekos is widely used and generally very well tolerated when administered by trained professionals.
Common temporary effects may include:
• mild redness
• swelling
• small bumps at injection sites
• light bruising or sensitivity
These effects usually settle within a few days.
Sunekos is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or if there is an active infection. Suitability is always assessed during consultation to ensure treatment is safe and appropriate.
Sunekos Aftercare
After your treatment, we recommend:
applying SPF 30+ daily
avoiding makeup for four to six hours
avoiding strenuous exercise, saunas, and hot tubs for 24 to 48 hours
avoiding active skincare products for several days
using cold compresses if needed to reduce swelling
You will receive personalised aftercare advice tailored to your skin.
