Sunekos explained

Sunekos is a skin booster made in Italy. It mixes hyaluronic acid with a set of amino acids that skin uses to build collagen and elastin. It comes in versions for fine skin and for deeper support.

How Sunekos works

The product is injected into the dermis in small drops. The hyaluronic acid hydrates the tissue, while the amino acids give fibroblasts building blocks for collagen and elastin. Over several sessions the skin can look firmer and smoother. It does not add noticeable volume.
