What is Rejuran?

Key Takeaways

  • Rejuran is a skin treatment using injectable polynucleotides (PN) derived from salmon DNA to support natural skin repair processes by improving cellular activity.
  • The treatment is typically administered to areas like the face, neck, and hands to enhance skin texture, elasticity, and resilience, acting beneath the skinu2019s surface.
  • A typical Rejuran treatment involves a consultation, skin cleansing, and injection of the solution, with the process taking 30 to 60 minutes and potential mild side effects like redness or swelling.
  • Patients usually require an initial series of three to four sessions spaced weeks apart, with maintenance treatments recommended every six to twelve months.
  • Rejuran may be suitable for individuals seeking to improve overall skin quality, with suitability determined through a professional consultation considering medical history and treatment goals.

Rejuran is a skin treatment that uses injectable polynucleotides (PN) to support natural repair processes within the skin. First developed in South Korea, it was developed to stimulate cellular activity within the skin, rather than surface-level changes. Administered by a trained professional, Rejuran is typically applied in areas such as the face, neck, and hands to address skin texture and appearance.

What Does Rejuran Do?

The primary active ingredient in Rejuran is polynucleotides (PN), derived from salmon DNA. These molecules are thought to support natural skin repair processes by improving cellular activity.

By supporting collagen synthesis and maintaining skin hydration, PN are intended to support skin texture, elasticity, and resilience. While outcomes vary, Rejuran is a treatment that acts beneath the skin’s surface to support natural cellular processes rather than simply targeting superficial concerns.

The Rejuran Treatment Process

A typical Rejuran treatment begins with a professional consultation to assess suitability and outline the treatment plan. On the day of the procedure, the skin is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to help minimise discomfort. The Rejuran solution is then injected into targeted areas of the skin using a fine needle. 

Treatment areas often include the face, neck, and hands, depending on individual goals. The process usually takes between 30 and 60 minutes. Afterwards, some patients may experience mild redness or swelling, which generally subsides within a few days.

Treatment Frequency and Maintenance for Rejuran

Many patients wonder how often are Rejuran treatments recommended? Most patients require an initial course of several sessions, often spaced a few weeks apart. Maintenance treatments are generally recommended every six to twelve months. The duration of Rejuran varies between individuals depending on skin type and lifestyle.

Potential Risks and Side Effects

As with any injectable treatment, Rejuran carries potential risks. Common side effects may include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or the appearance of small bumps at the injection sites. These usually resolve within a few days. 

In rare cases, more significant complications may occur, which is why it is important to undergo the procedure with an experienced professional. All potential risks and side effects are discussed thoroughly during the consultation stage.

Who is a Candidate for Rejuran?

Rejuran may be suitable for individuals interested in supporting overall skin quality, texture, and hydration. It is a treatment that acts within the skin layers to support natural repair processes, rather than addressing surface appearance alone. Suitability depends on each person’s medical history, skin condition, and treatment goals, and a professional consultation is essential to determine whether Rejuran is appropriate for your needs.
