What is Rejuran? Is it really derived from salmon DNA? Is Rejuran the same as a dermal filler? Does Rejuran hurt? What can you expect after treatment?

If you are considering Rejuran, understanding how the treatment is performed, what it is used for and what to expect afterwards can help you make an informed decision.

What is Rejuran?

Rejuran is an injectable treatment containing polynucleotides (PN), which are purified DNA-derived molecules. Rejuran is commonly used in aesthetic medicine as a treatment intended to support skin quality.

The treatment involves a series of superficial injections into the skin. Your doctor can assess your skin, medical history and individual concerns to determine whether Rejuran is appropriate for you.

Is Rejuran really made from salmon sperm? Does it smell fishy?

Rejuran contains purified polynucleotides derived from salmon DNA. The material is processed and purified for use in medical aesthetic treatments.

The treatment does not have a fishy smell when administered. If you have an allergy to fish or salmon-derived products, discuss this with your doctor before treatment.

Is Rejuran safe if I have skin allergies? What are the contraindications?

Rejuran may not be suitable for everyone. Your doctor will review your medical history, allergies, medications and other relevant factors before treatment.

Patients taking medicines that may increase bleeding or bruising should discuss this with their doctor before proceeding. Your doctor will advise whether treatment is appropriate based on your individual circumstances.

Is Rejuran the same as a dermal filler?

No. Rejuran and dermal fillers are different types of injectable treatments.

Dermal fillers are primarily used to add volume or provide structural support to specific areas. Rejuran is an injectable polynucleotide treatment intended to support skin quality and is not designed to provide the same volumising effect as a dermal filler.

Your doctor can discuss which treatment, if any, may be appropriate for your individual concerns.

Does it hurt to have Rejuran injections?

Rejuran is administered using fine needles through a series of superficial injections. Some discomfort may be experienced during treatment.

A topical numbing cream may be used before treatment to help reduce discomfort. Cooling may also be used where appropriate.

Your doctor can discuss available comfort measures during your consultation.

Is there any downtime from Rejuran treatment?

Small raised areas or bumps may appear at the injection sites immediately after treatment. Redness, swelling, tenderness or bruising may also occur.

These effects generally settle over the following days, although recovery can vary between individuals.

Your doctor will provide specific aftercare instructions following treatment. You may be advised to avoid excessive heat, strenuous exercise and certain skincare treatments for a period after your procedure.

What can I expect after Rejuran treatment?

Rejuran is intended to support skin quality. Individual responses to treatment vary, and results cannot be guaranteed.

Depending on your individual circumstances, your doctor may discuss concerns such as:

• Skin texture and overall skin quality
• Skin hydration
• The appearance of fine lines
• Uneven skin texture
• The appearance of pores or superficial scarring

Your doctor will discuss what outcomes may be realistic for you during your consultation.

How long does the procedure take?

The injection component of the procedure generally takes approximately 15–20 minutes, excluding consultation and preparation time.

The exact treatment time will depend on the area being treated and your individual treatment plan.

What aftercare is needed?

Your doctor will provide personalised aftercare instructions following treatment.

Generally, you may be advised to avoid excessive heat, strenuous exercise and vigorous facial treatments for a period after treatment. A gentle skincare routine may be recommended while the skin settles.

Follow the specific aftercare instructions provided by your treating doctor.

What is the recommended treatment protocol for Rejuran?

Treatment recommendations vary depending on the individual, the area being treated and the product being used.

Your doctor will determine the appropriate treatment plan following an assessment and consultation. The number and timing of treatments may vary between patients.
