Sunekos Skin Booster
Looking for a subtle way to refresh and improve your skin in Tauranga or the Bay of Plenty?
At Skin Centre, Sunekos is an advanced injectable skin booster that stimulates your skin’s natural collagen and elastin production. Using a unique combination of hyaluronic acid and amino acids, it improves hydration, firmness, and texture — without creating obvious volume or altering your natural facial shape.
Sunekos is ideal for addressing fine lines, crepey skin, tired under-eyes, and sun-damaged skin, which are common concerns in our coastal climate.
Whether you’re looking for preventative skin care in your 30s or a regenerative approach to ageing skin, Sunekos delivers gradual, natural-looking improvements that continue to develop over time.

What Is Sunekos?
Sunekos is a patented injectable bio-regenerator that combines low molecular weight hyaluronic acid with a carefully balanced blend of six essential amino acids.
These ingredients work together to stimulate fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin in the deeper layers of the skin.
By delivering these building blocks directly into the dermis, Sunekos encourages your skin to regenerate the extracellular matrix — the structure that gives skin strength, elasticity, and hydration.
Unlike treatments that simply add volume, Sunekos works with your body’s biology, improving the overall quality and health of the skin.

Benefits of Sunekos Treatment
Sunekos is chosen by many clients for its ability to improve skin quality in a subtle and natural way.
Benefits may include:
- Deep hydration – hyaluronic acid helps skin retain moisture for a plump, dewy appearance
- Improved firmness and elasticity – stimulates collagen and elastin production
- Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles – especially in delicate areas
- Brighter, smoother skin texture
- Improvement in dark circles and under-eye hollows
- Rejuvenation of neck and décolletage skin
Results develop gradually over several weeks as the skin regenerates, with optimal improvement typically seen after a full course of treatments.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
Sunekos is a versatile treatment and can be used in several areas where skin quality needs improvement.
Common treatment areas include:
- Full face
- Under-eye area (dark circles and fine lines)
- Neck
- Décolletage (chest)
- Hands
It is particularly popular for the under-eye region, where the skin is delicate and traditional fillers are not always suitable.

What to Expect From Treatment
Your appointment at Skin Centre begins with a consultation with one of our experienced cosmetic nurses.
During this consultation we will assess your skin, discuss your goals, and determine whether Sunekos is the most appropriate treatment.
The procedure involves a series of small injections using a fine needle or cannula and usually takes 20–40 minutes, depending on the areas being treated.
Most clients describe the treatment as mildly uncomfortable but very tolerable.
Treatment Course
A typical treatment plan includes:
- 3 treatments
- Approximately 2 weeks apart
Some clients benefit from a fourth treatment, depending on skin condition and goals.
Maintenance treatments are usually recommended every 6–9 months.
Downtime and Recovery
Sunekos has minimal downtime.
You may notice:
- Mild redness
- Small bumps at the injection points
- Minor bruising
These usually settle within 1–3 days.
For best results we recommend:
- Avoiding strenuous exercise, alcohol, and saunas for 24 hours
- Using a broad-spectrum SPF daily, particularly important in the Bay of Plenty climate
Full improvements typically develop 4–8 weeks after the final treatment as collagen production increases.
