Rejuran

What is Rejuran?

Rejuran activates your skin’s regenerative ability, giving you smoother skin. Rejuran improves skin health naturally by improving the physiological condition of your skin tissue. To understand how Rejuran achieves this, we have to look at the underlying key ingredient that makes all its benefits possible.

Rejuran is a skin booster treatment highly sought after for its anti-aging properties. This skin booster confers improved hydration, skin texture, skin elasticity, and skin repair to the treated areas. Rejuran also helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

How Rejuran Works 

Rejuran does all this through the use of a Polyneucleotide (PN), taken from salmon DNA. While this makes it safe for most people, it is important to highlight any allergies to seafood or fish that you might have during pre-treatment consultation as Rejuran’s key ingredient constitutes part of salmon DNA.  This PN molecule is made up of 13 or more nucleotide monomers covalently bonded in a chain. Rejuran’s PN is taken from salmon DNA due to its bio-compatible nature.

The use of PN is based on its wound healing and anti-inflammatory ability. PN molecules help to improve skin, and many studies have shown that PN molecules stimulate cell growth without any side effects. When introduced to the skin, PN can stimulate long-term skin regeneration from within, improving and restoring skin that has been damaged by aging or UV exposure.

When it comes to the face, PN helps to stimulate the growth of an important cell called a fibroblast. These fibroblasts work to form connective tissue in the body. In the case of our faces, fibroblasts help to create collagen proteins as well as the structural framework of our skin tissue. While it is true that we can generate collagen on our own, we know that collagen loss through aging is real. This degradation affects skin elasticity and quality over time.

Therefore, using PN to stimulate and support fibroblast growth and cell health using Rejuran can help combat the effects of ageing and environmental damage on our skin. To sum, users of Rejuran can expect improved overall skin tone and texture and lesser fine lines and wrinkles.

Types of Rejuran 

When compared to other kinds of injectable skin boosters, Rejuran’s key difference is the use of PN. Most skin boosters use Hyaluronic Acid (HA), which primarily improves skin through moisturising it from within. While the hydration of HA does improve the general quality and health of skin, PN contains the additional benefit of collagen synthesis and skin regeneration.

While there are multiple types of Rejuran, each for a different purpose, all of them work to restore and repair different parts of the face. Rejuran variants include Rejuran I, Rejuran S, and Rejuran Healer. The type of Rejuran you choose will depend on what issues you face, and how you wish to deal with them.

Here are the different types of Rejuran and which issues it helps to address:

Rejuran Healer

In general, Rejuran Healer treatment  works as a broader-based anti aging solution. Rejuran Healer can be used across the entire face and neck to deliver overall skin rejuvenation.  It is recommend for those looking to tighten saggy skin, reduce wrinkles, minimise pore size and improve overall skin tone and skin health.

Rejuran S

Rejuran S helps with all types of acne scars, pigmented spots, surgical or trauma scars and blemishes. It has a higher viscosity, and can help you to shallow up scars while skin regeneration occurs. It is especially effective at removing most scars when paired with other treatments such as laser treatments.

Rejuran I

As for Rejuran I, people use it when they are looking to rejuvenate the delicate under-eye area. The lighter viscosity of Rejuran I injection  makes it a good treatment for treating crow’s feet and fine lines near the eye area. For those who wish to treat dark eye circles, Rejuran I is also suitable.

Overall, Rejuran tends to be effective for people who want to undergo non-surgical means to repair the skin. It is worth considering if you’re looking to address any particular skin issues without having to go under the knife, and are looking for a quick recovery.

How many treatments are needed for Korean PN?

Each Korean PN treatment consists of multiple injections from a 2ml syringe. Most doctors recommend 3-4 treatment sessions, spaced four weeks apart.

After these initial sessions, a single treatment can be repeated once every 6-12 months to maintain the effects of collagen stimulation and skin improvement.

Post Treatment Expectations: Timeline

For injection method, patients can expect some mild swelling at the injection site. However, this swelling is not severe and you should be able to continue your day. Some bumps might be visible, but tend to resolve after 24 to 48 hours.

Rejuran’s high bio-compatibility means that there will be less chance of side effects. Instead, injection-related effects are more likely to occur. These include redness, needle marks, bumps, itchiness and mild bruising. In general, these are mild, and temporary, taking about 1-3 days to resolve.

Improvement of the skin will not be visible immediately. Instead, patients tend to start seeing improvement after 4 weeks. Rejuran is essentially a skin-healing procedure occurring from the inside out, using salmon DNA, so any improvements will be gradual and take time to show. You can expect gradual improvement of skin texture and tone over a 4 to 6 week period after treatment.

Rejuran treatments consist of multiple injections on the face. Therefore, doctors might recommend doing this treatment across a few sessions, spacing them a few weeks apart. This allows the skin to heal before the next treatment. Beyond these initial sessions, single area treatments can be repeated every 6 to 12 months for maintenance purposes.

Treatment Combinations

There is a possibility that Rejuran can be combined with other treatments for even better effect. Some patients who desire more pronounced effects might combine Rejuran treatments with other skin boosters, lasers, thread lifts and dermal fillers.

For example, those suffering from acne scars can consider pairing their Rejuran treatment  with laser treatment, for longer lasting results. For those battling the signs of ageing, consider pairing your Rejuran treatment with thread lifts or dermal fillers..

Rejuran Treatment Aftercare Tips

Caring for your skin after a Korean PN treatment can minimise the chances of injection-related side effects. Some of the steps you can take are listed below:

• Take herbal supplements such as arnica to reduce swelling.
• Avoid strenuous activities that can trigger your sweat glands to produce sebum which counters the effect of your Korean PN treatment.
• Avoid alcohol and smoking as these can affect pores and your skin’s ability to heal.
• Avoid exposure to intense heat as this can inhibit the healing effects of the Korean PN.
• Avoid waxing, chemical peels and energy-based treatments, as these may counter the effects of your Korean PN treatment.
