Rejuran is an injectable skin treatment that utilizes polynucleotides (PNs), which are DNA fragments derived from salmon. Think of them as tiny building blocks that get to work deep within your skin.
What is Rejuran?
What are the benefits?
Rejuran is fantastic for overall skin rejuvenation. People often see improvements in:
- Skin elasticity and firmness: It helps to boost collagen and elastin production.
- Fine lines and wrinkles: By promoting cell repair and regeneration, it can soften their appearance.
- Skin texture and tone: It can lead to smoother, more even skin.
- Hydration: It helps the skin retain moisture better.
- Reduced pore size: By improving overall skin health, pores can appear less noticeable.
- Scar improvement: It can aid in the healing and reduction of certain types of scars, like acne scars.
How does it work its magic?
The polynucleotides in Rejuran stimulate your skin's own natural healing processes. They encourage fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin, which are essential for skin structure and elasticity. Additionally, they promote angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels), improving blood flow and nutrient supply to the skin. This all contributes to a healthier, more youthful complexion from the inside out.
What happens during the treatment?
The Rejuran treatment itself involves a series of small injections into the skin using very fine needles. Most people find it tolerable, though you might feel some mild stinging or pressure during the injections. The whole process usually doesn't take very long.
Immediately after your Rejuran treatment, it's common to see some small, raised bumps on the treated areas. These are just the injected product under the skin and usually subside within 12-24 hours as the liquid is absorbed.
So, in short, immediately after Rejuran, you might have some small bumps and mild redness, a bit like tiny mosquito bites. These are temporary and a sign that the treatment has been administered. By the next day, or within a couple of days at most, you should start to see these initial signs disappear.
What's the typical treatment plan?
While individual needs vary, a common starting point is a series of 2-3 treatments spaced about 2-4 weeks apart. To maintain the benefits, follow-up treatments are usually recommended every 6-12 months. Dr Sarah will assess your skin and create a personalised plan to achieve your desired results.

How do Rejuran and Fillers differ?
Rejuran works by stimulating the skin's natural healing processes. The PNs help to promote collagen and elastin production, improve blood circulation, reduce inflammation, and encourage cell regeneration. It essentially focuses on improving the overall health and quality of the skin from within. Think of it as a skin revitalizer or bio-stimulator.
Rejuran does not add significant volume to the face. Its primary goal is skin regeneration and repair. Results are gradual and build over time as collagen and elastin production increases.
The benefits tend to be long-lasting as it's improving the underlying skin structure and the overall quality of the complexion.
Fillers work by physically adding volume to specific areas of the face to address volume loss, smooth out wrinkles and folds, and enhance facial contours. They provide an immediate plumping effect.
Fillers are primarily used for adding volume and creating structural support. They provide immediate volume to areas like cheeks, lips, and under the eyes, smooths out deeper wrinkles and folds (like nasolabial folds), and can contour the jawline or other facial features.
In Simple Terms:
- Rejuran is like fertilising your skin. It works to improve the health and quality of the skin over time by stimulating its natural regenerative abilities.
- Fillers are like adding air into a deflated balloon. They provide immediate volume and structural support to specific areas.
Can they be used together?
Yes, Rejuran and fillers can be complementary treatments.
Some people choose to have Rejuran to improve overall skin health and texture, and then use fillers in specific areas to address volume loss or enhance contours. Your practitioner can advise on the best combination for your individual needs and goals.
