Transform Your Skin Naturally with Rejuran – No Surgery Needed
In the ever-evolving world of aesthetic treatments, new innovations constantly emerge promising to turn back the clock. While fillers and toxins address volume loss and muscle movement, a different category of injectables focuses specifically on improving skin quality from within. One such treatment gaining significant popularity is Rejuran.
Often referred to as a “skin healer” or “bio-revitalizer,” Rejuran stands out for its unique approach: stimulating the skin’s own natural regenerative abilities. But what exactly is it, and how does it work?
What is Rejuran?
Rejuran® (specifically versions like Rejuran Healer) is an injectable treatment made of polynucleotides (PN). These are long chains of nucleotides, the building blocks of our DNA. The PN used in Rejuran is derived from salmon DNA, which has been found to be highly compatible with human skin and purified to be safe and effective.
Unlike dermal fillers that add volume to specific areas, Rejuran’s primary function is not volumization. Instead, it works at a cellular level to repair damaged skin cells and stimulate collagen production, elastin synthesis, and overall tissue regeneration.
Think of it as giving your skin the essential building blocks and signals it needs to heal and rejuvenate itself.
How Does it Work? The Science Behind the Glow
When injected into the superficial layer of the skin, the polynucleotides in Rejuran trigger several beneficial processes:
- Stimulates Fibroblast Activity: Fibroblasts are cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin, the structural proteins that keep skin firm and elastic. PN signals these cells to become more active.
- Promotes Collagen and Elastin Synthesis: As fibroblasts are stimulated, they produce more collagen and elastin, leading to improved skin firmness and elasticity.
- Enhances Skin Repair: PN has anti-inflammatory properties and promotes the repair of damaged DNA within skin cells, helping to restore the skin’s barrier function and healing processes.
- Improves Hydration: Rejuran can also improve the skin’s ability to retain moisture, leading to a more hydrated and radiant complexion.
- Angiogenesis (New Blood Vessel Formation): Some studies suggest PN can help promote the formation of new blood vessels, improving blood supply and nutrient delivery to the skin.
What Are the Benefits of Rejuran Treatment?
Rejuran treatment offers a range of benefits, particularly for those seeking to improve their skin’s intrinsic health and appearance:
- Improved Skin Texture: Reduces roughness and creates a smoother surface.
- Enhanced Elasticity and Firmness: Combats sagging and makes skin feel bouncier.
- Reduction in Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Softens superficial lines, especially around the eyes, mouth, and cheeks.
- Shrunken Pores: Can help reduce the appearance of enlarged pores.
- Improved Skin Hydration: Leads to a more dewy and plump look.
- Reduced Scarring: Can help improve the appearance of acne scars and other types of superficial scarring.
- Brighter, More Radiant Complexion: Addresses dullness and restores a healthy glow.
- Strengthened Skin Barrier: Makes skin more resilient and less prone to irritation.
Who is a Suitable Candidate?
Rejuran is often recommended for individuals who:
- Are noticing early signs of aging (fine lines, loss of elasticity).
- Have dull, tired-looking skin.
- Are concerned about skin damage from sun exposure or other environmental factors.
- Have mild to moderate acne scarring.
- Want to improve overall skin health and quality rather than just add volume.
- Are looking for a natural-looking rejuvenation result.
- Typically, it’s popular with individuals in their late 20s onwards, but suitability depends on individual skin condition.
The Treatment Process: What to Expect
A typical Rejuran treatment session involves:
- Consultation: A discussion with a qualified practitioner (usually a dermatologist or cosmetic doctor) to assess your skin, discuss your goals, and determine if Rejuran is right for you.
- Preparation: The treatment area (most commonly the face, but also neck, décolletage, and hands) is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort.
- Injections: The Rejuran product is injected into the superficial dermis layer of the skin using very fine needles at multiple points across the treatment area.
- Post-Treatment: The procedure usually takes about 15-30 minutes. You may experience temporary redness, swelling, or small bumps at the injection sites, which typically resolve within a few hours to a few days.
Results and Downtime
Results are not immediate as the treatment relies on your skin’s natural regeneration process. You might start noticing improvements in hydration and texture within a few weeks. More significant results in firmness, elasticity, and fine lines typically become apparent after 3-4 sessions.
A course of treatments is usually recommended, typically 3-4 sessions spaced 3-4 weeks apart initially. Maintenance treatments every 6-12 months can help preserve the results.
Downtime is generally minimal. You might have small, visible bumps (like mosquito bites) immediately after the injections, but these usually flatten within a few hours. Mild redness or bruising is possible but usually resolves within a few days. Avoiding strenuous activity, excessive heat, and certain skincare products immediately after treatment is advised.
Potential Side Effects
Like any injectable treatment, Rejuran carries potential side effects, though they are generally mild and temporary when performed by an experienced practitioner:
- Redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites.
- Small, temporary bumps at the injection sites.
- Mild pain or discomfort.
- Rare risks include infection, allergic reaction, or lumps (very uncommon with proper technique and product).
Rejuran vs. Other Treatments (Fillers, Profhilo)
- Rejuran vs. Dermal Fillers: Fillers (like hyaluronic acid fillers) add volume to specific areas (cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds) and sculpt contours. Rejuran does not add significant volume; it focuses on improving the biological condition and quality of the skin itself.
- Rejuran vs. Profhilo: Both are bio-revitalizers focusing on skin quality, not volume. Profhilo uses a high concentration of hyaluronic acid to hydrate and stimulate collagen. Rejuran uses polynucleotides to stimulate cell repair and regeneration more directly via DNA repair pathways and fibroblast stimulation. They address skin quality but with different mechanisms and compositions. Sometimes, they can even be used in combination depending on the patient’s specific needs.

The Rejuran Family: Exploring Different Treatment Types
One might think Rejuran is a single product, but its versatility comes from a range of formulations, each tailored to address specific skin concerns. This is crucial because different areas of our face and different conditions require different approaches. Let’s look at the primary members of the Rejuran family that we commonly see:
| Treatment Type | Key Focus Area(s) | Characteristics | Primary Benefits |
| Rejuran Healer | General facial rejuvenation, Neck | Standard viscosity, Pure PN | Overall skin health, Elasticity, Firmness, Texture, Hydration, Fine Lines |
