Why Choose Sunekos Eye Treatment?

The eye area is one of the most common concerns that brings patients to clinic. Persistent dark circles, fine lines and thinning, crepey skin can make you look tired even when you feel well.

Patented Non-Volumising Formula

Unlike traditional fillers that add volume, Sunekos focuses on improving skin quality. Its patented formula combines hyaluronic acid with a precise blend of amino acids to support the skin’s natural repair processes and collagen production, helping the under-eye area look smoother, firmer, and more refreshed over time.

Targets Root Causes

Dark circles often develop because the under-eye skin becomes thinner and more fragile over time. Sunekos helps strengthen and improve skin quality around the eye, supporting collagen and elastin so the area looks smoother, healthier, and less tired.

Gentle Yet Effective

Sunekos is specifically designed for the delicate under-eye area, making it suitable even for thin or sensitive skin. Its carefully balanced formula supports collagen and elastin production, helping to improve skin strength, smoothness, and resilience over time.

Natural, Subtle Results

Results develop gradually over the course of treatment as your own collagen and elastin production is supported. There is no sudden change and nothing that looks obvious or overdone. Instead, the under-eye area appears fresher, more rested, and naturally brighter, while you continue to look completely like yourself.

What Is Sunekos Performa?

Sunekos Performa is an advanced injectable treatment developed in Italy, designed to improve skin quality in the delicate under-eye area. Its patented combination of hyaluronic acid and amino acids supports collagen and elastin, helping to improve brightness, texture, and firmness without adding volume. This makes it ideal for patients seeking subtle, natural-looking improvement in skin quality.

Dr Rachel - the science of under-eye rejuvenation

The area around the eyes presents unique challenges. The skin here is exceptionally delicate - often around a quarter of the thickness of facial skin elsewhere - with minimal supporting fat and constant movement. This makes it particularly prone to showing fatigue, poor circulation, pigmentation and early signs of ageing, while also being one of the most visible areas in day-to-day interactions.

 

Traditional tear trough fillers frequently struggle in this region because they aim to replace volume where volume is not always the issue. In many patients, the concern is skin quality rather than structural loss. Adding volume to fragile tissue can lead to puffiness, product visibility through thin skin, a bluish Tyndall effect, migration and an unnatural appearance. Sunekos Performa takes a fundamentally different approach.

R.H.

“I have struggled with hereditary dark circles my entire adult life and tried every eye cream imaginable. Sunekos has genuinely transformed my under-eye area. The darkness has significantly faded and my skin looks so much healthier and brighter. Dr Rachel’s expertise made me feel completely confident throughout. This treatment has changed how I see myself.”

- Rebecca Heswall

Dr Rachel - why doctor-led under-eye treatment matters

The periocular area is one of the most delicate and technically demanding regions to treat. The skin is exceptionally thin, the anatomy is complex, and the vascular and lymphatic networks are intricate. Small differences in assessment or technique can have a significant impact on both results and safety. This is why careful medical assessment and experience matter when treating the eye area.

 

As a GMC-registered GP, I have a detailed understanding of the anatomy beneath the lower eyelid - including vascular pathways, lymphatic drainage and the supporting structures of the orbit. This knowledge allows treatments to be planned and delivered with precision. While Sunekos Performa is an excellent option for improving skin quality, it is not always the right treatment for every concern. Some patients are better suited to tear trough filler or polynucleotides. Making these distinctions requires clinical judgement, not a one-size-fits-all mindset.

Why Choose My Wirral Clinic?

As a GMC-registered doctor I provide medical aesthetic treatments grounded in clinical expertise, careful assessment, and patient safety. My approach is focused on natural, evidence-based results, using only treatments and products I trust to be safe, effective, and subtle.

Located in the heart of the Wirral, I welcome patients from across the Wirral peninsula including Bebington, West Kirby, Heswall, Bromborough and Birkenhead, offering personalised, doctor-led care focused on safe, natural results.

I am here to help you look and feel your best at every stage of life - because it is not just about looking great, it is about feeling great too.

Who Should Consider Sunekos Eye Treatment?

 

Sunekos Performa is well-suited to patients seeking subtle, natural-looking under-eye rejuvenation through regeneration of skin quality rather than volume replacement.

 

This treatment may be suitable if you:

 

• Have hereditary dark circles related to thin under-eye skin, where underlying blood vessels are more visible.
• Notice crepey under-eye texture that makes the area appear tired or aged.
• Have mild hollowing but are concerned about puffiness, product visibility, or a bluish tint under the eyes with tear trough filler.
• Feel they have a perpetually tired appearance despite adequate sleep.
• Are considering preventative treatment in their 30s–40s to support under-eye skin quality before more significant ageing changes develop.
• Are not suitable for tear trough filler due to their anatomy, previous experiences, or a preference for non-volumising treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sinekos

Your questions about Sunekos under-eye treatment answered by Dr Rachel.

How many Sunekos Eye treatment sessions will I need?

Most patients benefit from a course of 3 to 4 treatment sessions, spaced 2 weeks apart, to achieve optimal cumulative improvement. This staged approach allows gradual extracellular matrix regeneration, collagen and elastin production, and progressive strengthening of the delicate under-eye skin, with each session building on the last. Some patients with more pronounced dark circles or significant skin thinning may benefit from an additional session. To maintain results, maintenance sessions are typically recommended every 6 to 12 months. Many patients find that maintenance may be required less frequently over time as overall under-eye skin quality continues to improve with repeated treatment courses. A personalised treatment plan will always be discussed and agreed during your consultation, based on your individual anatomy, skin quality and treatment goals.

Is Sunekos Eye treatment painful?

Most patients find the treatment very comfortable. As the under-eye area is sensitive, a topical numbing cream is applied around 20 minutes before treatment. During the procedure, you may feel gentle pressure and occasional pinching as the micro-injections are placed, but the numbing cream ensures good tolerance. Sunekos Performa uses ultra-fine needles, the same gauge used for anti-wrinkle injections, which helps minimise discomfort. The treated area is then gently massaged, which most patients find soothing. Many patients describe the sensation as less uncomfortable than eyebrow threading. Any post-treatment tenderness is usually mild and typically settles within 24 hours.

What is the downtime after Sunekos Eye treatment?

Downtime is usually minimal. Immediately after treatment, small injection marks and mild swelling under the eyes are common. This typically settles within 24-48 hours. Some patients may experience minor bruising, which usually resolves within 3-5 days and is easily concealed with makeup. The treated area may also feel slightly raised or lumpy immediately after injection - this is normal and resolves as the product integrates into the tissue. Most patients return to work and normal daily activities straight away. I recommend avoiding makeup for the remainder of the day, strenuous exercise for 24 hours, and excessive heat, such as saunas or hot yoga, for 48 hours.

When will I see results from Sunekos Eye treatment?

Many patients notice subtle improvements in hydration and brightness within 7-10 days of the first session as the hyaluronic acid integrates and fibroblast stimulation begins. More meaningful changes develop progressively across the treatment course as the extracellular matrix regenerates and your skin produces new collagen types I, III, IV and VII, as well as elastin. Peak results are typically seen 4-6 weeks after completing the recommended treatment course. This gradual progression allows for natural-looking rejuvenation, without sudden or obvious change. Sunekos Performa has been clinically shown to be over 40% more effective than its predecessor formula, meaning patients can expect enhanced results compared to earlier Sunekos 200 treatments.

How long do Sunekos Eye treatment results last?

Results typically last 6 to 12 months, depending on factors such as age, baseline skin quality, lifestyle and individual metabolism. The patented amino acid formula has been clinically shown to reduce hyaluronic acid degradation by hyaluronidase by 40%, which means the active ingredients remain effective at the injection site for longer, supporting extended collagen and elastin production. To sustain optimal results, single maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months are usually sufficient. Many patients find that results improve cumulatively with each treatment course as the extracellular matrix continues to strengthen over time.

What is the difference between Sunekos Eye treatment and tear trough filler?

Sunekos Performa focuses on regenerating skin quality rather than adding volume. It stimulates the production of collagen, elastin and other extracellular matrix components through a non-volumising biorevitalisation approach, using its patented combination of hyaluronic acid and amino acids. This makes it particularly suitable for dark circles, crepey skin and mild hollowing where structural volume replacement is not required. Because it contains no crosslinkers, it carries no risk of Tyndall effect, the bluish discolouration that can sometimes occur with traditional fillers placed under thin skin. Tear trough filler, by contrast, is designed to replace lost volume. It uses a crosslinked hyaluronic acid gel to fill deeper hollows and restore structural support, making it more appropriate for significant volume loss. Sunekos Performa creates subtle, natural-looking improvement through skin regeneration, while tear trough filler produces more noticeable structural correction. In some cases, the best results are achieved by using both treatments strategically, restoring structure where needed and improving skin quality for a balanced, refreshed outcome.

Can Sunekos Eye treatment treat dark circles?

 Yes, Sunekos Performa can be very effective for certain types of dark circles, particularly those caused by thin, translucent skin where underlying blood vessels are visible, or by reduced microcirculation creating a bluish or purplish tone. The patented amino acid formula works by stimulating collagen and elastin production to strengthen and thicken the skin, helping to disguise visible vessels, while also supporting healthier circulation to reduce blood pooling. It is important to note that dark circles caused primarily by excess pigment (melanin) respond better to other treatments, such as targeted skincare, chemical peels or laser, rather than injectable biorevitalisation. During your consultation, I will assess the underlying cause of your dark circles and advise on the most appropriate treatment plan for your skin.

Is Sunekos treatment safe?

Yes, when administered by a qualified medical professional. Sunekos Performa is CE-marked and contains biocompatible ingredients, non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid and amino acids with no chemical crosslinkers, making it exceptionally well tolerated, particularly in the delicate periocular area. Safety studies have been completed across a broad patient population of different skin types and ethnicities, published in the Journal of Clinical Trials, confirming both safety and effectiveness. As with any injectable treatment, side effects and complications are possible, but serious adverse events are rare when treatment is carried out correctly and with appropriate patient selection. As a GMC-registered GP and member of CMAC, I follow comprehensive medical safety protocols. This includes a detailed medical history assessment, strict sterile technique, careful attention to injection depth and product placement, gentle massage for even distribution, and appropriate post-treatment monitoring. Emergency equipment is always available to manage the unlikely event of a complication. Your safety is always my priority, and suitability for treatment is carefully assessed during your consultation.

Can I combine Sunekos with other treatments?

Absolutely. Sunekos Performa can be safely and effectively combined with other treatments as part of a tailored, comprehensive rejuvenation plan. Depending on your individual concerns, it may be used alongside tear trough filler to address both skin quality and structural volume, polynucleotides for deeper cellular regeneration, anti-wrinkle treatments to soften expression lines around the eyes, or Sunekos 1200 for more intensive skin renewal across the wider face. The most appropriate combination and treatment sequence will always be discussed during your consultation, based on your anatomy, skin quality and aesthetic goals.

What skincare should I use after Sunekos?

The under-eye area can be sensitive after treatment, so gentle aftercare is important. Avoid touching or rubbing the area for 24 hours. Makeup should be avoided for the rest of the day. It is usually best to use a gentle cleanser only, without active ingredients, for 48 hours. A soothing eye product containing hyaluronic acid or peptides can be applied to support hydration and healing. Sunekos recommends using their own Gel Eye Contour product to preserve and extend treatment results. Daily use of SPF 50 is essential to protect the delicate under-eye skin. Avoid retinoids, vitamin C and other active ingredients around the eyes for 3-5 days following treatment. Avoid exfoliating treatments such as glycolic acid or enzyme peels in the treated area for at least 48 hours. You will be given detailed aftercare instructions, and I may recommend appropriate medical-grade eye care products, such as those from pHformula, to help optimise and maintain your results.
