What you get
Korean
Western
$350 for a Rejuran session that rebuilds your skin’s collagen from within. That’s less than a single jar of La Prairie — and this actually stimulates cellular regeneration instead of sitting on the surface.
The Korean philosophy
Rejuran Healer works on the principle that polynucleotides — fragments of DNA — can signal your skin cells to regenerate and repair as if they were younger. Instead of adding volume or freezing muscles, it teaches your skin to heal itself. This is regenerative aesthetics at its purest — a concept Korea developed and perfected before the West even heard of it.
The ritual
Skin cleansing
5 minThorough cleansing and antiseptic preparation of the treatment area. Sterility is critical for any injectable procedure.
Numbing cream
20 minA topical anesthetic is applied generously and left to absorb for 15-20 minutes. Rejuran involves many injection points, so thorough numbing is important for comfort.
PDRN micro-injection
20 minUsing a fine needle, the practitioner delivers small deposits of Rejuran into the mid-dermis across the face. Injection points are spaced approximately 1cm apart in a grid pattern. Each injection delivers a tiny amount of the salmon DNA extract. You’ll feel small pricks and mild stinging despite the numbing. The practitioner works methodically across the forehead, cheeks, and jawline.
Post-treatment calming
5 minA soothing serum and cold compress reduce swelling at injection sites. You’ll have small bumps at each injection point — like tiny mosquito bites — that flatten over 1-3 days.
Your first time
Rejuran feels similar to other injectable treatments like skin boosters. After numbing, the practitioner makes many small injections across your face in a grid pattern. Each one feels like a tiny pinch. The whole process takes about 20 minutes. Afterward, your face will have small raised bumps at each injection site — these are completely normal and flatten within 1-3 days. Mild bruising is possible. The results aren’t immediate — over the following weeks, your skin gradually becomes thicker, more elastic, and more luminous. After 3-4 sessions, the transformation in skin quality is remarkable. Korean celebrities call this their “skin secret” for good reason.
When to book
Book at least 5-7 days before an event to allow bumps and any bruising to resolve. For your initial course, plan 3-4 sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart. After that, maintenance every 3-6 months. Best started in your late 20s to early 30s as preventive treatment. Avoid scheduling right before a photoshoot — the bumps need a few days to settle.

East vs West
Rejuran Healer was developed in Korea and has been the country’s most iconic anti-aging treatment for years. Korean practitioners have performed hundreds of thousands of treatments, refining injection techniques and protocols. The West is only now beginning to offer polynucleotide treatments, and availability is limited. Korean clinics charge 50-60% less and have far more experience with the product.
Aftercare
Don’t touch your face for 6 hours. No makeup for 12 hours. Avoid saunas, heavy exercise, and alcohol for 24 hours. Gentle cleanser and ceramide moisturizer only for 48 hours. The small bumps will flatten within 1-3 days. SPF 50+ daily.
