10 Reasons You Need to Know About Sunekos

If you’ve been researching skin boosters, you’ve probably noticed that many treatments promise hydration, plumping or collagen stimulation. Sunekos is the only skin booster in the world providing complete physiological ECM (extra cellular matrix) regeneration by stimulating not just one or two types of collagen but ALL collagen types PLUS elastin and fibronectin. This article endeavours to explain why this breakthrough is so important

But what if we looked beyond simply “boosting collagen” and thought about regenerating the environment that gives our skin its strength, elasticity and resilience?

That’s where Sunekos becomes particularly interesting.

At Soothe Skin Health & Wellness in West Bridgford, Nottingham, we’re interested in treatments that work with the skin – supporting its natural biology rather than simply changing the shape or movement of your face.

Here are 10 reasons you need to know about Sunekos.

1. Sunekos doesn’t just focus on collagen

Collagen gets almost all the attention when we talk about ageing skin – but healthy, resilient skin needs much more than collagen alone.

Sunekos is designed to support regeneration of the extracellular matrix (ECM) – the intricate network surrounding our cells that provides structure and support to the skin.

Its approach targets the production of important ECM components including collagen, elastin and fibronectin.

In other words, we’re not simply trying to make more collagen.

We’re looking at the environment responsible for skin quality as a whole.

2. It stimulates elastin – and that’s incredibly important

We hear about collagen constantly.

But what about elastin?

Collagen gives skin much of its structure and strength. Elastin helps give it its spring, flexibility and ability to bounce back.

As we age, changes to both collagen and elastin contribute to the skin becoming thinner, looser and more crepey.

Sunekos’ HA and amino-acid formula has been developed to stimulate fibroblasts and promote the synthesis of both collagen and elastin.

That makes it particularly interesting when our concern isn’t simply wrinkles, but loss of elasticity and resilience.

3. It also supports fibronectin

This is one of the reasons we need to start thinking beyond the phrase “collagen booster”.

Fibronectin is another important protein within the extracellular matrix. It plays a role in cell adhesion, organisation and communication within tissues, and collagen only sits in the fibronectin connections so the more fibronectin…

So when we’re talking about regenerative skin treatments, collagen is only part of a much bigger biological picture.

Sunekos’ approach to ECM regeneration considers these different structural components rather than focusing on a single sign of ageing.

4. It can help address “inflammaging”

Inflammaging.

It describes the chronic, low-grade inflammatory processes associated with ageing.

Within ageing skin, ongoing oxidative stress and inflammation can contribute to deterioration of the extracellular matrix and reduced fibroblast function.

This is particularly relevant to the Sunekos 1200 + Performa protocol.

Sunekos 1200 contains high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid and is used within specific protocols to support the skin before the regenerative action of Sunekos Performa.

Rather than deliberately creating inflammation in order to provoke a healing response, the Sunekos philosophy is about supporting physiological regeneration and restoring balance within the ECM.

For those of us interested in skin health rather than simply chasing wrinkles, that’s fascinating.

5. Sunekos 1200 provides antioxidant action

Free radicals and oxidative stress are another part of the skin-ageing story.

Sunekos 1200 is used for its antioxidant properties, helping to protect the extracellular environment while addressing the inflammatory processes associated with skin ageing.

This means a Sunekos programme isn’t simply asking:

“How can we make more collagen?”

We’re also thinking:

“How can we create a healthier environment in which the skin can regenerate?”

That’s a very different approach to skin rejuvenation.

6. Its combination of ingredients is patented

Sunekos isn’t simply hyaluronic acid with a few amino acids added.

Its technology is based upon a patented amino-acid formula developed through decades of research by Professional Dietetics.

The Sunekos formula combines hyaluronic acid with a specific combination of six amino acids designed to work synergistically with fibroblasts.

That precision matters.

Because regenerative medicine isn’t simply about throwing ingredients into the skin.

It’s about giving cells the appropriate biological signals and building blocks in the appropriate combination to support physiological regeneration.

7. The ratio matters

This is perhaps one of the most interesting things about Sunekos.

More isn’t automatically better.

The Sunekos approach is based on a specific, precisely balanced combination of hyaluronic acid and six amino acids designed to stimulate fibroblasts and support synthesis of extracellular-matrix components.

Think of it as providing the skin with a carefully formulated recipe rather than simply supplying one ingredient in enormous quantities.

That is why we describe Sunekos as an ECM-regeneration treatment, rather than simply another injectable moisturiser.

8. The results are designed to develop naturally

Sunekos isn’t intended to suddenly change your face.

There is no frozen expression and it isn’t designed to create the structural volume associated with traditional dermal fillers.

Instead, the changes we’re looking for develop as skin quality improves.

Depending upon your skin and treatment protocol, you may begin to notice:

• • smoother, better-hydrated skin

• • improved elasticity

• • greater firmness and resilience

• • softer fine lines

• • improvement in crepey texture

• • fresher-looking skin

• • improvement in the quality of delicate under-eye skin

The aim is for somebody to notice that you look well, rather than immediately identifying that you’ve had an injectable treatment.

9. Results can continue beyond the treatment course

This is another important difference between simply putting something into the skin and encouraging the skin to produce something for itself.

Sunekos is designed to stimulate fibroblast activity and ECM regeneration, so the aim isn’t simply an immediate, temporary plumping effect.

Published Sunekos research has reported improvements in skin elasticity, texture and overall skin quality following a treatment course.

Maintenance will still be needed because the biological processes responsible for skin ageing haven’t stopped.

But we’re not simply filling the skin and waiting for a product to disappear.

We’re encouraging your own skin biology to do some of the work.

10. It’s for people who want better skin – not a different face

Perhaps this is the biggest reason we love Sunekos at Soothe.

A growing number of our clients aren’t looking for dramatically different cheekbones, a different face shape or an expressionless forehead.

They’re saying:

“I just don’t think my skin looks as healthy as it used to.”

They notice crepiness. Thinning. Fine lines. Loss of elasticity. A tired-looking eye area. Skin that doesn’t bounce back as readily.

And they want to do something about it without looking as though they’ve had something done.

That’s exactly the space regenerative treatments such as Sunekos occupy.

Is Sunekos better than Profhilo?

They’re different. Profhilo is predominantly a high-concentration hyaluronic-acid bioremodelling treatment and can be particularly useful where hydration and skin laxity are concerns.

Sunekos takes a different approach, combining HA with a specific amino-acid formula and focusing particularly on fibroblast stimulation and extracellular-matrix regeneration.

At Soothe, we don’t believe in choosing a treatment because it’s currently fashionable. We look at your skin first and then decide which technology or treatment is most appropriate. Sometimes that may be Sunekos. Sometimes Profhilo. Sometimes microneedling, Cellstory, radiofrequency or something much simpler.

Sunekos in Nottingham

At Soothe Skin Health & Wellness in West Bridgford, Nottingham, our approach to ageing has never been about trying to make somebody look 20 years younger.

It’s not about changing your face. It’s about supporting skin health, integrity and resilience as our skin changes through life, and this is why Sunekos fits so naturally into our philosophy.

It’s about looking beneath the surface at the collagen, elastin, fibronectin and extracellular matrix that help determine how healthy, strong and resilient your skin looks and feels.

If your skin is becoming thinner, crepier, less elastic or simply doesn’t feel like your skin anymore, book a skin consultation with us.
