When it comes to achieving firmer, more hydrated skin, two of the most popular treatments are Sunekos and Profhilo. Both of these injectable treatments are designed to work beneath the skin’s surface to restore hydration, stimulate collagen, and improve skin quality—without adding volume like traditional fillers.
At Ivy Clinic, we often get asked about the cost, benefits, and which treatment is best for different skin concerns. Let’s dive into your most common questions about Sunekos and Profhilo to help you make the right choice.

Benefits of Skin Boosters Like Sunekos and Profhilo:
- Non-surgical, natural-looking results – Both treatments improve skin quality without adding volume, making them ideal for those who want hydration and firmness without the appearance of “filler.”
- Minimal downtime – You can resume normal activities right after your treatment, with little to no recovery time.
- Long-lasting results – These treatments improve the underlying health of your skin, offering results that last for several months.
- Address skin concerns from the inside – Both Profhilo and Sunekos target dehydration, fine lines, and sagging skin, improving texture and elasticity.
- Cost-effective in the long term – When compared to regular facials or expensive creams, skin boosters offer longer-lasting, visible results, making them a more cost-effective option in the long run.

Important Note: While skin boosters like Sunekos and Profhilo are highly effective, they shouldn’t replace regular facials or your at-home skincare routine. To maintain and enhance the results, we recommend a combination of professional treatments and quality skincare products.
How Do I Choose Between Sunekos and Profhilo?
Which Treatment Is Best for Me?
-
Profhilo: If you’re looking for intense hydration and a boost in skin laxity (looseness), Profhilo is your best option. It’s perfect for those who need a quick solution to improve skin texture and restore radiance.
-
Sunekos: If you’re dealing with fine lines, under-eye concerns, or need more collagen and elastin stimulation, Sunekos may be the right choice for you. It works deeper within the skin to tackle signs of aging.
Do I Need a Consultation Before Treatment?
Yes! We require all clients to have a consultation at Ivy Clinic before booking Sunekos or Profhilo treatments. During this consultation, we will:
- Assess your skin concerns
- Discuss your treatment goals
- Determine if you’re a good candidate for the treatments
- Create a tailored plan for your skin needs
How Long Does It Take to See Results?
You may start seeing improvements in your skin’s hydration and firmness after just one session, but for the best results, multiple treatments are required. Most clients see significant improvements in their skin’s texture and elasticity within 2-3 weeks after completing the full treatment cycle.
