A Rejuran treatment is an injectable procedure using polynucleotides designed to help improve overall skin quality. Rather than adding volume like traditional dermal fillers, this treatment focuses on supporting skin regeneration, cell renewal, and the skin's natural repair processes.

Rejuran is often considered for fine lines, early signs of skin ageing, uneven skin texture, enlarged pores, certain acne scars and delicate areas such as the under-eye area.

On this page, you can learn how Rejuran works, who it may be suitable for, what happens during treatment, how recovery usually feels and when results may become visible.

Rejuran Treatment

What is a Rejuran treatment?

A Rejuran treatment is an injectable procedure utilising polynucleotides (PN) aimed at supporting the natural repair processes within the skin.

Polynucleotides are DNA fragments used in aesthetic treatments to help support cell regeneration, tissue repair, and the production of collagen and elastin. This process may gradually improve the underlying structure of the skin.

Rejuran is commonly considered for:

  • Fine lines

  • Acne scars

  • Enlarged pores

  • Reduced skin elasticity

  • Dull skin

  • Skin ageing

What are polynucleotides?

Polynucleotides are small DNA fragments used in regenerative aesthetic treatments. In Rejuran, they are injected into the skin to support processes involved in repair and renewal.

They are used to support:

  • Cell regeneration

  • Skin repair

  • Skin barrier support

  • Collagen production

  • Elastin production

This is why Rejuran is often regarded as a treatment that focuses on improving skin quality and supporting skin regeneration.

What does Rejuran do?

Rejuran aims to support natural skin renewal through biostimulation. The polynucleotides help stimulate fibroblasts, which are cells involved in collagen and elastin production.

This process may gradually improve the skin’s structure without adding artificial volume. Results are usually subtle and develop over time.

Rejuran may help with:

  • Improved skin quality

  • Enhanced hydration

  • Refined skin texture

  • Reduction of fine lines

  • Support for the skin barrier

  • Improvement in acne scarring

  • A more even skin texture

Which skin concerns can Rejuran address?

Rejuran may be considered for several skin-quality concerns. Suitability depends on your skin, treatment area and expectations.

Fine lines and early wrinkles

Rejuran is often used for early signs of skin ageing and superficial fine lines.

Acne scarring

By supporting tissue repair, Rejuran may help improve the appearance of certain types of acne scars.

Enlarged pores and uneven texture

As skin quality improves, pores and uneven texture may appear less noticeable.

Dull or tired-looking skin

Some people choose Rejuran when the skin looks dry, dull or less resilient.

Under-eye skin quality

Rejuran can be used carefully under the eyes for fine lines, thin skin and delicate texture concerns.

Who is a Rejuran treatment suitable for?

A Rejuran treatment may be suitable for people who want to improve skin quality without adding volume.

It may be considered if you:

  • want smoother, better hydrated skin

  • have fine lines or early signs of ageing

  • have certain acne scarring concerns

  • want a more even skin texture

  • want to support skin quality as it changes with age

  • do not want the volume effect of dermal fillers

A practitioner will assess your skin during a consultation and explain whether Rejuran is suitable for your concern, skin condition and goals.

How does a Rejuran treatment work?

  1. 1 Consultation and skin assessment
  2. 2 Discussion of expectations
  3. 3 Preparation and numbing cream
  4. 4 Rejuran injections
  5. 5 Aftercare advice
  6. 6 Follow-up if needed

Does a Rejuran treatment hurt?

Most people find Rejuran manageable, although the treatment can feel uncomfortable because it involves multiple small injections across the treatment area.

Clinics often apply numbing cream before treatment to reduce discomfort. Sensitive areas, such as under the eyes, may still feel more tender than other parts of the face.

Any tenderness should gradually settle after treatment.

How many Rejuran treatments will I need?

A course of multiple Rejuran treatments is usually recommended. One session may not be enough to see a clear change, because the treatment works gradually.

The exact treatment plan depends on:

  • age

  • skin condition

  • treatment area

  • skin concern

  • previous treatments

  • desired level of improvement

After the initial course, maintenance treatments may be advised depending on how your skin responds.

Are two Rejuran sessions enough?

For some people, two sessions may give visible improvement. Others may need more sessions. Your practitioner should create a personalised plan based on your skin and expectations.

When will I see results from Rejuran?

Rejuran results are not usually immediate. The skin first needs time to settle after the injections. Improvement then develops gradually as skin repair and collagen stimulation are supported.
