What is Rejuran?

Rejuran is a regenerative skin treatment that has gained popularity in the field of aesthetic medicine, particularly in Asian countries. It is also known as Rejuran Healer or PDRN (PolyDeoxyRiboNucleotide) therapy. Rejuran contains PDRN, which is a DNA extract derived from salmon. PDRN is known for its regenerative properties and ability to promote skin healing, repair, collagen production, and overall skin rejuvenation.

It involves microinjections into the skin and offers benefits such as improved skin texture, hydration, and reduced fine lines and scars. With minimal downtime, it is suitable for individuals looking to enhance their skin's appearance and health.

What is the standard procedure for Rejuran treatments?
1. Injection Method
  • Rejuran is administered via microinjections into the dermis layer of the skin. This is typically done using a fine needle or a microneedling device.
  • The procedure can be slightly uncomfortable, so a topical anaesthetic may be applied beforehand to minimise discomfort.
2. Treatment Areas
  • Commonly treated areas include the face, neck, and hands. It can also be used in specific areas with acne scars or other types of skin damage.
3. Session Duration
  • Each session usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.
4. Recovery and Downtime
  • Minimal downtime is expected, with some patients experiencing mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. These side effects typically subside within a few days.
How many Rejuran sessions will I need?
The number of Rejuran sessions required can vary depending on individual skin conditions, desired outcomes, and the specific recommendations of your skincare professional. However, a typical treatment plan often includes:

 

Initial Series
  • Three to Four Sessions: Most practitioners recommend an initial series of three to four sessions, spaced about two to four weeks apart. This helps to build up the polynucleotides in the skin, promoting effective healing and regeneration.
Maintenance
  • Every Three to Six Months: After the initial series, maintenance sessions are usually suggested every three to six months to sustain the results. The exact frequency can depend on how your skin responds to the treatment and your ongoing skincare goals.
Individual Variations
  • Severity of Skin Issues: Individuals with more severe skin concerns, such as deeper wrinkles, significant acne scars, or extensive sun damage, may require more sessions initially or more frequent maintenance treatments.
  • Skin Type and Age: Younger individuals or those with less severe skin issues might see significant improvement with fewer sessions, whereas older individuals or those with more extensive damage might need additional treatments.

 

Consulting with a qualified dermatologist or aesthetician is essential to determine a personalised treatment plan that suits your specific needs and skin conditions. They can assess your skin and provide a tailored schedule for Rejuran sessions to achieve optimal results.
How long will a Rejuran treatment take?
A Rejuran treatment session typically takes around 45 to 60 minutes. Here's a breakdown of what to expect during the treatment:

 

Consultation and Skin Assessment (10-15 minutes)
  • Before the treatment, a consultation with a qualified dermatologist or aesthetician is necessary to assess your skin condition and discuss your goals and expectations.
Preparation (15-20 minutes)
  • Cleansing: The treatment area will be thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, oil, and impurities.
  • Topical Anaesthetic: A numbing cream is usually applied to the treatment area to minimise discomfort. This cream needs to be left on for about 15-20 minutes to take full effect.
Rejuran Injection (15-30 minutes)
  • The Rejuran solution is injected into the skin using fine needles. Multiple small injections are made across the treatment area to ensure even distribution of the product.
Post-Treatment Care (5-10 minutes)
  • After the injections, the treated area may be gently massaged to help distribute the product evenly.
  • A soothing cream or cooling mask may be applied to reduce any redness or swelling.

 

The exact duration can vary slightly depending on the size of the treatment area and the specific protocol followed by your skincare professional. Overall, you should plan for about an hour for the entire appointment, although the actual injection part of the process is relatively quick.
When will I see results from Rejuran treatments?
Results from Rejuran treatments can vary from person to person, but generally, you can expect to see improvements according to the following timeline:

 

Immediate After Treatment
  • Minimal Immediate Changes: Right after the treatment, you might notice some immediate plumping due to the injections, but this is usually temporary and more related to swelling than actual results.
1-2 Weeks Post-Treatment
  • Initial Improvements: Some initial improvements in skin texture and hydration can start to appear within the first couple of weeks as the polynucleotides begin to take effect and stimulate collagen production.
4-6 Weeks Post-Treatment
  • Noticeable Changes: More noticeable improvements in skin texture, tone, and elasticity are typically observed after 4 to 6 weeks. Fine lines and wrinkles may start to diminish, and the overall skin condition will begin to improve.
After Completing the Initial Series (3-4 Sessions)
  • Significant Results: Most significant results are seen after completing the initial series of three to four sessions, usually spaced about two to four weeks apart. By this time, collagen production is more robust, and the skin healing and regenerative effects of Rejuran are more evident.
Long-Term Benefits
  • Continuous Improvement: Continued improvements can occur over the following months, especially with maintenance sessions every three to six months. The cumulative effect of the treatments can lead to sustained skin health benefits, including improved elasticity, reduced fine lines and wrinkles, and overall rejuvenation.

 

It's important to have realistic expectations and understand that Rejuran works gradually by promoting natural skin healing and regeneration. For best results, adhere to the treatment plan recommended by your dermatologist or aesthetician and maintain a good skincare routine.

5. Asymmetry
  • Uneven Results: There's a possibility of asymmetrical results if the product is not distributed evenly across the treatment area.
