Skin remodelling

Sunekos is an injectable treatment combining hyaluronic acid and amino acids. At Soprano, we consider it within a plan focused on skin quality, rather than using it to create the structural projection associated with a contouring filler.

It means starting with skin health before considering enhancement. We assess your concerns and discuss the role of skin care, digital skin analysis and suitable treatments. It does not mean everyone needs injections, or that every concern can be addressed with the same product.

Both are discussed in the context of injectable skin-quality treatments. Sunekos combines hyaluronic acid with amino acids; Profhilo is a different hyaluronic acid formulation. Their products and treatment plans are not interchangeable. Sunekos is now our main focus for skin remodelling, while Profhilo remains an option to discuss where appropriate. Neither is automatically the best choice for everyone.

Yes. Tell your clinician what you have had, which areas were treated, when treatment took place and how your skin responded. We can review the options without assuming you need to switch or that one product will give a better result.

A course may be recommended, but the number and spacing of appointments depend on the product selected, the area and your assessment. We explain the proposed schedule and total cost before treatment. A Profhilo schedule should not simply be applied to Sunekos.

Response and timing vary. Your clinician will discuss realistic expectations for the proposed product and arrange review where appropriate. Results are not guaranteed or permanent, and maintenance should be considered in light of your response rather than treated as an automatic commitment.

No. Skin quality, facial volume and significant tissue laxity are different concerns. We explain the limits of non-surgical treatment and may recommend another approach, further advice or no treatment.

These may form part of a wider plan when they address different concerns. Combination treatment is not automatically suitable, and appointment timing and recovery need to be planned. Explore laser & IPL skin treatments with Harmony XL Pro or discuss your priorities at a skin health assessment.

Temporary injection-site bumps, redness, swelling, tenderness or bruising can occur. Infection, allergic or delayed reactions and other injection-related complications are possible. Allow time around important events and follow the aftercare you receive. Read the risks and aftercare section above, and contact the clinic about an unexpected change.

The Phorest catalogue lists Sunekos for the face or neck at £400 for the first treatment and £250 for a subsequent treatment. Profhilo is listed at £300 per session. An aesthetic consultation is £50, redeemable against treatment. These are individual appointment fees; your full course and any additional areas are quoted after assessment. Check our current price list before booking.

Laboratory research explores the proposed biological mechanisms, while early clinical studies report changes in skin quality. A small 2022 pilot study of Sunekos Performa included ten women and had no comparison group. It cannot establish superiority over Profhilo or guarantee an individual result. Manufacturer information explains the formulation and its rationale; we distinguish those claims from independent clinical evidence.
