What is REJURAN®?
REJURAN® is an injectable skin treatment originating from South Korea, designed to repair and rejuvenate damaged skin. It’s sometimes called a “skin healer” due to its use of Polynucleotides (PN), which are DNA fragments extracted from salmon. Yes, that’s right—salmon DNA! These Polynucleotides are known to be biocompatible, meaning they’re safe to use on human skin. They help stimulate skin repair, reduce signs of ageing, and even out skin tone, making REJURAN® a popular choice for those aiming to restore a natural, healthy glow.
How Does REJURAN® Work?
REJURAN® is administered as a series of tiny injections across the treatment area. Once injected, the Polynucleotides go to work by encouraging cellular regeneration and collagen production. This process strengthens your skin barrier, boosts skin hydration, and reduces the appearance of wrinkles/ fine lines. The treatment is often compared to skin boosters, but REJURAN® goes beyond simply adding moisture— it actively repairs your facial skin from within.
Over a few weeks, you’ll start noticing improvements in skin texture, elasticity, and an overall more radiant appearance as this skin rejuvenation treatment works within the skin layers.

What to Expect During a REJURAN® Treatment
Before your first session, your cosmetic nurse will discuss your skin concerns, expected results and go over any potential risks.
The treatment itself is fairly straightforward:
- Preparation: A numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort.
- REJURAN® Injections: Tiny microdeposits (papules) are injected in a grid-like pattern
- to multiple areas of the skin, targeting specific concerns.
- Post-Care: Your skin might appear slightly red with visible small bumps immediately after, but these effects typically subside within a few hours to two days. Avoid heavy makeup, intense exercise, and sun exposure for 24-48 hours to give your skin some healing time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Does REJURAN® Last?
Results from REJURAN® are typically long-lasting, with effects visible for around six months. Many people choose to undertake maintenance treatments every six months to keep up the benefits and sustain their glow.
Is REJURAN® a Filler?
No, REJURAN® is not a dermal filler for skin rejuvenation. While dermal fillers add facial volume and hydration to specific areas, REJURAN® works differently. Instead of adding volume or structure, it promotes skin cell regeneration and healing, helping to improve overall skin quality
What Are the Side Effects of REJURAN®?
REJURAN® has minimal potential side effects. Some common, short-lived effects include slight redness, mild swelling, small bumps or tiny bruises at the injection sites. These adverse side effects generally subside within a day or two. As always, it’s important to consult with a trained professional to ensure the treatment is suitable for your skin type and concerns.
Is REJURAN® Right for You?
REJURAN® is generally recommended for people looking to address early signs of ageing, improve their skin texture, or recover from minor skin damage. However, if you’re dealing with specific skin conditions like eczema, rosacea, or severe acne, talk to our expert team to determine if REJURAN® is a suitable option.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
It is recommended patients have a series of 2 to 4 sessions, at 3-4 week intervals for optimal results. Most patients will see significant benefits at 3 sessions.. If you have more pronounced skin concerns, such as deep wrinkles, sun damage, or skin laxity, a fourth treatment may be beneficial. To maintain collagen levels, 1 to 2 top-up sessions are recommended each year, which continue to stimulate fibroblasts (collagen-producing cells).
How Long Does REJURAN® Treatment Take?
The procedure itself typically takes between 30 minutes. However, the total time spent at the clinic may be longer to allow for additional steps, such as photography and the application of topical numbing cream.
Can I Combine REJURAN® Injections with Other Treatments?
Yes, REJURAN® injections can be safely combined with other treatments to enhance results. A lot of patients pair REJURAN® with procedures like anti-ageing injections, chemical peels, soft tissue augmentation, or laser treatments for a comprehensive skin rejuvenation plan. However, it’s important to space out treatments appropriately and consult with a qualified professional to determine the best combination for your skin type and goals. Your cosmetic nurse will tailor a plan to ensure maximum benefits while avoiding any potential interactions between treatments.
