What Is Sunekos?
Sunekos is made by Professional Dietetics S.p.A. in Milan and sold as CE-marked medical devices for doctors; Sunekos Performa is registered as a Class III device. Its HY6AA formula pairs hyaluronic acid with six amino acids: glycine, L-proline, L-lysine, L-leucine, L-valine and L-alanine.
The formula is designed to stimulate fibroblasts, the cells that make collagen and elastin. Sunekos is not a filler: it improves skin quality rather than adding volume.

How the Treatment Works at Veneta
Skin assessment
A physician examines your skin and medical history and decides whether Sunekos suits you and which product to use.
Treatment plan
Usually 3–4 sessions 7–14 days apart; around the eyes, 3 sessions 14 days apart. Sagging skin may start with Sunekos 1200.
Injection
Small amounts are injected into the dermis with a fine needle or cannula, following the manufacturer’s technique for each area.
Aftercare and follow-up
Mild redness or swelling at the injection points usually settles quickly; bruises can take 5–10 days, and the eye area may swell slightly. The manufacturer suggests repeating the course twice a year.
