When thinking about taking care of your laugh lines, you may be asking yourself, "Will SUNECOS work?" Many people may be wondering, "Is it effective? SUNEKOS® is a treatment that improves skin firmness and elasticity by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin through the power of non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid and amino acids. However, since laugh lines are mainly caused by sagging, it is difficult to expect dramatic changes with SUNECOS by itself. In this article, we will explain in detail the characteristics of SUNECOS and its application to the lines, as well as the cosmetic treatments that can be used in combination with SUNECOS.
What is SUNEKOS injection (SUNEKOS)? Effects and Features Explained
First, let's gain a better understanding of SUNECOS injections.
■ Ingredients and mechanism of action of SUNECOS injection
Ingredients in SUNECOS injections includeNon cross-linked hyaluronic acid and 6 amino acidsThe treatment injects a special ratio of internationally patented agents.
The hyaluronic acid used in regular hyaluronic acid injections is "cross-linked," which bonds hyaluronic acid together in order to delay its absorption into the body and maintain skin volume. On the other hand, hyaluronic acid used for SUNECOS injections is not cross-linked. It has a smooth texture and is easily absorbed into the skin,Increased moisture and natural facial appearance are expected.Can be done.
In addition, the following six amino acids are included in SUNECOS injections
- glycine
- L-Proline
- L-lysine
- L-Alanine
- L-Valine
- L-Leucine
These amino acids help produce collagen and elastin, which are moisturizing ingredients, and bring elasticity and firmness to the skin. In addition, L-leucine promotes protein synthesis.
■ Differences between SUNECOS injections and conventional wrinkle treatments
We have found that SUNECOS injections contain an unusual combination of hyaluronic acid. Other features that set it apart from conventional wrinkle treatments include
- Work on the intercellular matrix (ECM)
- Can be injected into thin skin areas

In conventional cosmetic treatments, it is not uncommon to approach the fibroblasts themselves. However, SUNECOS injections areStimulate the intercellular matrix to promote the production of moisture components and increase skin volumeThe first is the
In addition, the drug is in a silky liquid form, making it possible to inject it into areas with thin skin, such as around the eyes and neck. Another advanced feature is the low risk of allergic reactions and the simple composition of the ingredients.
■Types of SUNECOS injections and expected effects
SUNECOS injections include "SUNECOS 200" and "SUNECOS 1200," which have different molecular weights of non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid. Since there are differences in the characteristics and expected effects of each product, they are summarized in the table below for easy understanding.
