Profhilo, Sunekos and polynucleotides are all injectable skin rejuvenation treatments which are known as injections for skin quality.
 
Polynucleotides area long chains of nucleotides, the building blocks of RNA and DNA. They are thought to work by stimulating the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, which are all important components of healthy skin, so there are regenerative benefits to the treatment.
 
Polynucleotides area also believed to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, so as well as ani-ageing treatments, they can be of benefit in the treatment of skin conditions such as eczema. This treatment is suitable for a longer term treatment, with those looking to regenerate the skin.
 
Profhilo is a hybrid molecule made up of equal parts of high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that is found in the skin and other connective tissues. It is a powerful hydrator that can help to plump up the skin and reduce wrinkles. Profhilo is thought to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin.
 
Sunekos is a skin booster for anti-ageing. Sunekos is a mixture of both Hyaluronic Acid and Amino Acids to stimulate fibroblasts in the skin, producing collagen and elastin as a result. Fibroblasts play a role in wound healing, and by being stimulated this encourages new collagen and elastin, resulting in the skin tightening and plumping. This treatment can be used around the eye area, unlike Profhilo which has specially strategically placed points.

When it comes to comparing the effectiveness of Profhilo, Sunekos and Polynucleotides, it’s important to consider individual goals and skin conditions. All three treatments have show impressive results in their areas of focus, but the effectiveness can vary depending on specifics need of the individuals.

Profhilo remains a good option for clients that are looking for a quick and effective way to hydrate their skin a reduce wrinkles, adding subtle volume being an excellent choice for restoring a healthy glow to the skin to dry and dehydrated skin.

Whereas, polynucleotides are a good option for clients that are looking for a longer-lasting treatment that can improve the overall texture, appearance of scars, wrinkles, and skin appearance through the regenerative process.

Sunekos skin booster is completely natural, with it just stimulating the natural healing process your body goes through already. Sunekos is an excellent option for those who want to maintain a natural-looking appearance.

However, there is no reason why you couldn’t have a combination of treatments, which can be discussed with one of our team members.  

The table below goes through the difference between Profhilo and a polynucleotide skin booster.
