To get the best results and minimise any side effects, please follow these steps in the lead-up to your treatment:

7–14 Days Before:

• Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements (e.g. aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, high-dose Vitamin E, Gingko Biloba, St John’s Wort).
• Let us know if you’re on prescription blood-thinners.
• If prone to cold sores, contact us — antiviral medication may be recommended.
• Avoid other facial treatments (peels, microdermabrasion, Botox) within one week of your appointment.
• Reschedule if you’ve recently been unwell or had a vaccination.

3–7 Days Before:

• Avoid sunbeds and limit direct sun exposure.

24 Hours Before:

• No alcohol.
• Avoid intense exercise, saunas, or extreme temperatures.
• Start any prescribed antiviral medication (if applicable).

On the Day:

• Arrive with a clean, makeup-free face.
• Eat a light meal beforehand.
• Inform us of all medications, supplements, or recent health changes.

Sunekos is a gentle yet powerful treatment designed to revitalise your skin from within — but like all injectables, it’s important to know what’s normal.

During the Treatment:

• The treatment involves a series of small, superficial injections using a very fine needle.
• Most clients find it very tolerable — you may feel a slight pinch or sting with each injection.
• The session typically takes 30–45 minutes.
  

Immediately After:

• You may notice small raised bumps at the injection sites — this is completely normal and typically subsides within a few hours.
• Mild redness, tenderness, or swelling may occur and usually settles within 24–48 hours.
• Bruising is possible, especially if you’re prone to it.

Over the Next Few Days:

• Your skin may feel slightly firmer or plumper as hydration increases.
• Any swelling or redness will continue to settle — use gentle skincare and follow your aftercare instructions.

Long-Term Results:

• Sunekos works by stimulating collagen and elastin, so results appear gradually.
• Most clients see noticeable improvement in skin texture, tone, and elasticity over 1–4 weeks.
• For best results, a series of treatments (usually 3–4 sessions spaced 7–10 days apart) is recommended.
  

24 Hours after Sunekos Treatment:

• Allow your skin to rest and do not apply makeup for at least 12 hours
• Avoid having a massage or anything that applies pressure to
  the treated area
• Avoid touching the treated area to minimise the risk of infection

After treatment on or around the lips:

• Do not drink very hot or cold beverages whilst numb
• Avoid touching the lips
• Avoid using old lipsticks/balms that may contain bacteria
• You can prevent or treat swelling with cold compresses or ice packs.

• Swimming or strenuous exercise
  Exposure to extreme cold or hot temperatures (<0°C - >40°C)
