Aging and Hyaluronic Acid

Aging determines a decrease of HA, reduction of fibroblasts activity, down regulation of CD44 and RHAMM receptors as well as all gene-transcriptors for HA, increase of Hyaluronidase

Sunekos Performa is the new innovation in aesthetic medicine from Sunekos Laboratories.

It is composed of low molecular weight hyaluronic acid and the patented cluster of Amino Acids, the HY6AA formula, in a new ratio “AA vs HA” allowing a significant reduction of the hyaluronidase action[1;2;3;4].

A study on Sunekos Performa demonstrated that the presence of its specific combination of AAs (HY6AA formula), that through a physical action decreases the degradation of HA, by reducing the Hyaluronidase mediated process.

Therefore, the study suggests that Sunekos Performa, thanks to this new balancing of AA vs HA, will persist longer and it will be more effective as the HA action can promote a longer duration[1].

This action has been confirmed by:

  1. contrasting the hydrophilic properties of HA employing the 6AA hydrophobic amino acids formula; [1]
  2. contrasting the overall negative electrical charge of HA using a strong positively charged amino acid as Lysine [1]
increase and prolong hyaluronic acid

Sunekos Performa helps to rebuild the Extra Cellular Matrix in a more effective and complete way, by promoting the production of:

  • Elastin (Eln) [5] [7]
  • Collagen, including all main types of reticular collagen fibres of the dermis and Type IV and Type VII (anchoring types, plaques and fibres) [5] [7]

ECM model

  • Elastin
  • Collagen Type IV Anchors Plaque
  • Collagen Type VII Anchors Fibrils
  • Collagen Type IV Anchors Plaque
  • Collagen Type VII Anchors Fibrils
  • Fibronectin plays a major role in cell adhesion, and in anchoring reticular collagen fibres and cells.

Indication: wrinkles and skin laxity

“Sunekos Performa can also be used to treat periocular area, neck, décolleté and hands upon specific training with qualified personnel”

Full Face Protocol

3 Sessions Protocol. The first injection of Sunekos Performa has to be done together with Sunekos 1200

Studies

A study on Sunekos Performa demonstrated that the presence of its specific combination of AAs (HY6AA formula), with their ancillary action, decreases the degradation of HA by reducing the Hyaluronidase process, by reducing the Hyaluronidase process [1].

Therefore, the study suggests that Sunekos Performa, thanks to the new ratio “AA versus HA”, will persist longer and it will be more effective as the HA can stimulate the receptors over an extended period.
