Also known as “Aminotherapy” in the medical field, Sunekos Matrix Injection is a bioregenerative treatment designed to repair the Extracellular Matrix (ECM) and combat skin aging using a patented combination of amino acids and hyaluronic acid. Skin aging involves more than just wrinkles; it is primarily about the weakening of the ECM, the structural framework of the skin. This leads to a loss of elasticity, dullness, and a “crepey” texture, particularly around the eyes. At our clinic, we prefer scientific protocols like Sunekos Aminotherapy that aim to biologically repair the skin rather than just temporarily hydrate it.
What is Sunekos Aminotherapy?
Sunekos is distinct from traditional fillers; it does not add volume but induces repair. Its mechanism is based on replenishing the building blocks of the skin.
The Patented Formula:
- Specific Amino Acid Cluster (HY6AA): Glycine, L-Proline, L-Lysine, L-Alanine, L-Valine, L-Leucine. These amino acids are the essential “fuel” for collagen and elastin production. This is why the treatment is called Aminotherapy.
- Hyaluronic Acid: Provides deep hydration and supports cell signaling.
Mechanism of Action: When injected into the dermis, this combination stimulates fibroblast cells to produce Type 1 Collagen, Type 3 Collagen, and Elastin. The result is skin tightening, improved quality, and natural vitality without artificial puffiness.
The Sunekos Family: Performa and 1200 The Sunekos protocol relies on the strategic use of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) with different molecular weights. Uzm. Dr. Ömer Fatih Şahin selects the specific product based on your skin layers:
- Sunekos Performa (Surface Revival) This is the advanced, next-generation evolution of Sunekos 200.
- Ideal For: Specifically designed for dark circles, fine lines around the eyes (not just crow’s feet, but skin thinning), and overall facial radiance.
- Advantage: It creates repair without causing edema (swelling), making it extremely safe for the delicate eye area.
- Sunekos 1200 (Deep Support)
- Ideal For: Severe loss of elasticity, deep wrinkles, and skin sagging that requires structural support. It acts as a scaffold for the skin.
The “Cushion Technique”: Dual Power For advanced signs of aging, Uzm. Dr. Ömer Fatih Şahin often combines both forms in the same session. First, Sunekos 1200 creates a deep support cushion, followed by Sunekos Performa for surface repair. This targets all skin layers simultaneously.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Sunekos a filler?
Will it change my face shape? Answer: No. Sunekos is not a volumizing filler and will not alter your facial features. It is an Aminotherapy (Bioregeneration) product aimed at stimulating the skin to repair itself.
Is there any downtime?
You can return to your daily life immediately. Small bumps (papules) at the injection sites may appear but typically resolve within a few hours.
Is it safe for the under-eye area?
Yes. Sunekos Performa is specifically developed with a non-crosslinked formula that minimizes water retention. This makes it highly suitable and safe for the delicate, edema-prone under-eye area.
How is it different from Under-Eye Light Filler?
Light Fillers are used to “fill” hollows. Sunekos Aminotherapy is used to “thicken” and repair the thin skin and improve elasticity. If your concern is thin skin and dark circles rather than just a hollow, Sunekos is the superior biological approach.
How long do the results last?
Since Sunekos triggers biological repair, the improvements are structural. Typically, the results last around 6 months after the full protocol. To maintain the glow and firmness, we recommend a single maintenance session every 6 months.
Can it be combined with Botox or other treatments?
Yes, absolutely. It pairs perfectly with Botox. While Botox relaxes the muscles, Sunekos improves the skin quality above those muscles, leading to a much more natural and radiant look. We often perform them in the same session.
