Sunekos vs Profhilo: Which Skin Booster Is Right for You?

At Astral Skin Clinic, we offer Profhilo and Sunekos, two top skin boosters that hydrate, stimulate collagen (types I & III), and improve skin elasticity without adding volume. Each has unique strengths depending on your goals.

Profhilo - Broad Hydration & Firmness

Profhilo is the highest-concentration hyaluronic acid treatment on the market that can be used on the cheeks, chin, and jawline.

• Boosts collagen I & III and elastin for strength, structure, and improved elasticity

• Improves overall firmness, hydration, texture, and mild acne scars

• Ideal for a mid to lower face, preventative, anti-ageing boost

Perfect if you want broad, natural rejuvenation without targeting individual lines.

Sunekos - Targeted Glow & Texture

Sunekos combines hyaluronic acid + amino acids for more precise collagen & elastin stimulation.

Best for areas with delicate skin:

• Under eyes

• Forehead

• Crows’ feet

  
  

Why it’s ideal for targeted areas:

• Lighter HA formulation for areas with delicate skin

• Local collagen stimulation improves fine lines, texture, and acne scars

• Customisable for subtle, natural improvements

  
  

Why Choose Sunekos or Profhilo Over More Intensive Treatments?

While Morpheus8 or laser skin resurfacing can improve texture, elasticity, and acne scars, they often require:

• Longer treatment sessions

• Multiple appointments

• Recovery time with redness, swelling, or temporary peeling

Sunekos and Profhilo offer a simpler, effective alternative:

• Short, 5 -10 minute sessions (30 minutes prep)

• Minimal downtime - back to daily life immediately

• Hydration, collagen stimulation, and texture improvement

• Sunekos: great for delicate or targeted areas like under eyes, forehead, crows’ feet

• Profhilo: ideal for overall lower-face rejuvenation and acne scar improvement

Perfect for clients who want noticeable results without disrupting their routine, with natural, subtle enhancements.

Yes.

6. Are skin boosters vegan?

Sunekos is classed as vegan-friendly because no animal-derived ingredients are used in its formulation or manufacturing process. Profhilo, while also made from ultrapure hyaluronic acid via bio-fermentation, is not considered completely vegan, as animal-derived enzymes may be used in its production. For clients who prefer vegan treatments, Sunekos offers a safe and effective alternative.
