Profhilo & Sunekos Skin Booster Treatments, North Wales
When it comes to skin rejuvenation, injectable treatments have evolved far beyond traditional dermal fillers. Instead of simply adding volume, treatments like Profhilo and Sunekos work to improve skin quality at a deeper level, boosting hydration, elasticity, and collagen production. But with both treatments offering impressive results, how do you decide which one is right for you? As an aesthetic nurse, I often guide patients through this decision based on their individual skin concerns and goals. Let’s explore how Sunekos and Profhilo work, what they treat, and which one might be the best fit for your skin.
What is Sunekos and how does it work?
Sunekos is an injectable skin treatment designed to stimulate collagen and elastin production while deeply hydrating the skin. Unlike traditional fillers, it doesn’t just add volume, it works to restore the skin’s natural regenerative processes using a unique combination of hyaluronic acid and amino acids. These essential building blocks help improve skin texture, hydration, and elasticity, making Sunekos an excellent option for those with dehydrated, thin, or ageing skin.
What does Sunekos treat?
Sunekos is particularly effective for treating crepey skin, fine lines, loss of elasticity, and dullness. It is suitable for delicate areas that can be difficult to treat with fillers, such as the under-eye area, neck, and décolletage. It’s also a great option for individuals looking for a preventative treatment to maintain youthful, plump skin without adding volume.
How many treatments do you need, and how long does Sunekos last?
Sunekos is usually delivered as a course of 3-4 treatments, spaced around 7-10 days apart. The results develop gradually as collagen production increases, with the full effects visible after about 6-8 weeks. The longevity of Sunekos varies depending on skin type and lifestyle, but most patients find that results last around 6 months, after which maintenance treatments can help prolong the benefits.
Who is Sunekos best suited for?
Sunekos is ideal for those who want to improve skin texture, fine lines, and elasticity without added volume. It’s especially beneficial for younger patients looking for skin prevention or for those with thinner skin that needs hydration and firming. If you have concerns about dark circles, under-eye hollowness, or crepey skin, Sunekos can be a fantastic option.
What is Profhilo and how does it work?
Profhilo is a bioremodelling injectable treatment that contains one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid on the market. Unlike dermal fillers, which are used to shape and contour, Profhilo spreads evenly throughout the skin, stimulating hydration, collagen, and elastin production. It acts like an injectable moisturiser, delivering deep hydration while triggering the skin’s natural firming and tightening process.
What does Profhilo treat?
Profhilo is perfect for improving skin laxity, hydration, and overall glow. It works best in areas where the skin has started to lose elasticity, such as the face, neck, hands, and décolletage. Many patients describe the results as a natural skin refresh, making them look more radiant and youthful without changing their facial structure.
How many treatments do you need, and how long does Profhilo last?
Profhilo is typically delivered as two treatments, spaced four weeks apart. The effects begin to appear after a few weeks, with full results visible by 8 weeks post-treatment. The benefits of Profhilo last around 6 months, although some patients choose to have maintenance treatments every 4-6 months to keep their skin looking fresh.
Who is Profhilo best suited for?
Profhilo is ideal for those experiencing skin laxity, dehydration, or a general loss of radiance. If you feel your skin is starting to look dull or sagging but you’re not ready for fillers or more invasive treatments, Profhilo offers a subtle, natural boost. It’s particularly effective for mature skin that needs firming and lifting, but it’s also great for younger patients looking for deep hydration and long-term skin health benefits.
Profhilo vs Sunekos: Which is right for you?
Both Profhilo and Sunekos are excellent treatments, but they work in slightly different ways and suit different concerns.
If your main goal is deep hydration, firmer skin, and an overall skin refresh, Profhilo is the better option. It’s particularly effective for those experiencing mild sagging and skin laxity, as it provides a noticeable tightening effect while improving skin texture and glow.
If you’re more concerned with fine lines, under-eye crepiness, or early signs of ageing, Sunekos may be the better choice. It’s particularly effective for delicate areas that need targeted rejuvenation without volume, and it provides a more gradual collagen boost.
For some patients, a combination of both treatments can work beautifully – using Sunekos for delicate areas like under the eyes and Profhilo for overall skin tightening. The best way to decide is to consult with an experienced aesthetic nurse who can assess your skin’s needs and tailor the perfect treatment plan for you.
In summary
Both Profhilo and Sunekos are game-changers in the world of skin rejuvenation, offering natural, long-lasting improvements without adding volume or altering your facial features. While Profhilo provides deep hydration and lifting, Sunekos works at a cellular level to improve elasticity and fine lines in delicate areas.
Choosing the right treatment depends on your individual skin concerns and goals, but rest assured that both options deliver incredible skin-boosting benefits.
