Sunekos Eye Treatment
Sunekos in London is an injectable skin treatment combining hyaluronic acid with a specific blend of amino acids to improve skin quality, hydration and the appearance of fine lines, while maintaining a completely natural look.
The short answer
What Sunekos is
Sunekos is an injectable skin treatment designed to improve skin quality, hydration and the appearance of fine lines while maintaining a completely natural look.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Sunekos is not primarily used to add volume or change facial contours. It combines hyaluronic acid with a specific blend of amino acids and is used as part of a skin-focused approach for patients who want subtle improvement rather than structural enhancement.
Dr Harriet particularly uses Sunekos for delicate areas where skin quality, rather than volume loss alone, is the main concern. The eye area is one of her two named areas of special interest.

What can be treated?
Sunekos may be considered for fine lines and crepey skin, dehydrated or tired-looking skin, loss of skin elasticity and firmness, fine lines around the eyes, skin quality in the under-eye area and early signs of skin ageing. Hollowness, pigmentation, prominent eye bags and skin laxity have different causes and may need very different approaches.

Patient journey
What to expect from a Sunekos course
Consultation & preparation
Avoid alcohol for 24 hours and ibuprofen, aspirin, vitamin E and fish oil for 48 hours beforehand where it is safe to stop them, since the eye area bruises readily. Come with no eye makeup and remove contact lenses before your appointment.
During treatment
Aftercare
There may be small raised areas, redness, swelling or bruising immediately following treatment. These usually settle, although the degree and duration vary between patients. Avoid eye makeup for 12 hours and skip saunas, steam rooms, intense exercise and alcohol for 24 hours. Skin quality improves gradually across the course rather than immediately.
Sunekos prices in London
Sunekos is priced as a course rather than a single appointment, because the skin responds across the sessions rather than after the first. Dr Harriet confirms how many sessions your skin needs, and the total cost, at your consultation.
Injectable skin treatments
Booking
The £50 new patient deposit is redeemable against the cost of your treatment. Prices are reviewed periodically. Treatment follows a face-to-face consultation and only goes ahead where it is clinically appropriate. Individual results vary.
Boundaries of practice
What's not treated
Good practice means saying no when indicated:
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Known hypersensitivity to hyaluronic acid or any amino acid component
- Active skin infection, inflammation or eye infection at the treatment site
- Active autoimmune disease affecting the skin
- Recent aggressive resurfacing or energy-based treatment around the eyes

FAQ
Sunekos FAQs
What is the difference between Sunekos and tear trough filler?
Tear trough filler softens the hollow beneath the eye using hyaluronic acid dermal filler. Sunekos is not primarily used to add volume or change facial contours: it combines hyaluronic acid with a specific blend of amino acids to target the quality and hydration of the skin itself, for fine lines, crepiness and a tired appearance.
Is Sunekos suitable if I have very thin under-eye skin?
The skin around the eyes is particularly thin and is often one of the first areas to show changes in skin quality. In carefully selected patients, Sunekos can target the quality and hydration of that skin for a subtle, natural improvement. Dr Harriet will assess your skin at consultation and tell you honestly which approach fits.
How many Sunekos sessions will I need?
A course of treatments is usually recommended, with the exact number and interval determined by the product used, the treatment area and you. Pricing is structured as an initial session at £300 followed by additional sessions at £250. Dr Harriet will confirm the number of sessions your skin needs at consultation.
Is there downtime after Sunekos?
There may be small raised areas, redness, swelling or bruising immediately following treatment. These usually settle, although the degree and duration vary between patients. The eye area bruises more readily than most, so avoid booking treatment immediately before an important event and allow a few days of flexibility.
Can Sunekos be combined with other eye treatments?
Yes. Dr Harriet frequently combines treatments in the under-eye area, using polynucleotides and dermal filler alongside each other where a patient has both poor skin quality and genuine hollowness. She will sequence the plan at consultation so each treatment can be assessed on its own merits.
