Is Rejuran for the under-eye area?
The skin around the eyes is naturally thin and can become more finely lined, dry or crepey over time. Rejuran can be used in this delicate area when the main concern is skin quality rather than volume loss. For patients who do not necessarily need dermal filler, it may offer a more appropriate approach.
During consultation, your practitioner will assess whether Rejuran, dermal filler or another treatment would be best suited to your concern.
Is Rejuran better than fillers?
Rejuran and dermal filler are designed for different purposes.
Dermal filler is generally used to restore volume, enhance contour or provide structural support. Rejuran is used when the primary concern is the quality and appearance of the skin itself.
For some patients, both treatments may form part of a wider treatment plan.

What is Rejuran injection good for?
Rejuran is primarily used to improve the appearance and overall quality of the skin rather than to add facial volume. It may be considered for concerns such as fine lines, uneven texture, reduced elasticity, dryness and delicate or crepey-looking skin, including around the eyes. The most appropriate treatment will depend on your skin and the concern you want to address.
Can you get Rejuran in the UK?
Yes. Rejuran treatments are available at selected aesthetic clinics in the UK. As with any injectable treatment, it is important to choose an appropriately trained practitioner who can assess your suitability, explain the expected benefits and limitations, and confirm that the product has been obtained through an appropriate professional supply chain.
Is Rejuran really worth it?
That depends on what you want to achieve. Rejuran may be worthwhile for someone seeking gradual improvements in the appearance of fine lines, texture, elasticity or overall skin quality without adding noticeable facial volume. It is less likely to meet your expectations if you are looking for an immediate lifting, filling or contouring effect.
Is Rejuran better than microneedling?
Neither treatment is universally better. Rejuran is an injectable polynucleotide treatment, whereas microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin using very fine needles. They therefore work differently and may be recommended for different concerns. Your skin condition, tolerance for downtime, treatment history and desired outcome should determine which approach is more appropriate.
What can go wrong with Rejuran?
Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising and small raised areas at the injection sites can occur after Rejuran treatment. As with any injectable procedure, less common complications are also possible, including infection, prolonged inflammation or an unwanted reaction. Having treatment performed by an appropriately trained practitioner following a proper consultation helps ensure that risks are identified and discussed before treatment.
Why is Rejuran so painful?
Rejuran can feel uncomfortable because relatively small amounts of product are placed at multiple points within the skin. The consistency of polynucleotide formulations can also contribute to the sensation during injection. Comfort varies considerably between individuals, and your practitioner can discuss the measures used within the clinic to make treatment more manageable.
What is better than Rejuran?
There is no single treatment that is “better” than Rejuran because the right option depends on the problem being treated. Dermal fillers may be more appropriate for volume loss, while treatments such as microneedling, laser or other injectable skin treatments may be considered for different aspects of skin quality. A good consultation should determine the treatment based on your skin rather than simply recommend the most fashionable product.
Is 2 sessions of Rejuran enough?
Two sessions may be appropriate for some people, but there is no treatment course that suits everyone. The number of sessions recommended will depend on your skin condition, age, treatment area, previous treatments and what you would like to achieve. Your practitioner should review your response rather than automatically recommending an identical course to every patient.
What age is good for Rejuran?
There is no ideal age for Rejuran. Treatment should be based on a genuine skin concern rather than reaching a particular birthday. It may be considered when changes such as fine lines, loss of elasticity, uneven texture or thinner-looking skin begin to become noticeable, provided the person is an appropriate adult candidate for treatment.
How long does it take to fully recover from Rejuran injections?
Initial redness, swelling and small raised injection points often begin settling relatively quickly, although bruising or swelling can last longer in some people. Recovery varies according to the treatment area, injection technique and individual response. If you have an important event coming up, it is sensible to discuss the timing with your practitioner rather than assuming your skin will look completely settled by a particular day.
Is Rejuran a Korean treatment?
Yes. Rejuran was developed in South Korea by PharmaResearch and has become particularly well known through the Korean aesthetics market. The injectable range uses purified salmon-derived polynucleotides and includes different formulations designed for particular treatment areas and purposes.
Where can I buy Rejuran in the UK?
If you are interested in injectable Rejuran, the safest approach is not to purchase it online for self-treatment. Injectable aesthetic products should be sourced appropriately and administered by a suitably trained professional. A reputable clinic like Dr Leah Clinics will be able to explain which Rejuran product it uses and how it is sourced.
What do Koreans use against wrinkles?
There is no single Korean treatment for wrinkles. Korean aesthetic practice combines approaches including consistent sun protection and skincare with treatments selected according to the individual's skin, which may include lasers, energy-based treatments and injectable skin treatments such as polynucleotides. Rejuran became particularly well known in South Korea as an option for people seeking improvements in skin quality rather than additional facial volume.
Why is Rejuran not FDA approved?
The FDA regulates medicines and medical devices in the United States, so FDA approval relates specifically to the US market. Rejuran's availability and regulatory position in countries such as South Korea or the UK are therefore separate matters. A lack of FDA approval should not be interpreted on its own as proof that a treatment is either unsafe or ineffective; it means the product has not received the relevant FDA authorisation for that particular use in the United States.
How often should I inject Rejuran?
Rejuran should not be self-injected or used according to a schedule chosen without professional assessment. Treatment is generally planned as a course, with the number and spacing of appointments decided by the practitioner according to the product being used, treatment area and individual response. Maintenance treatment may then be discussed if appropriate.
For the right patient, Rejuran may be a worthwhile option when the priority is improving the appearance of the skin rather than changing facial shape or adding volume. Results are gradual and vary between individuals, so it is important to have realistic expectations. Your practitioner should also explain alternative treatments so that you can make an informed decision rather than choosing Rejuran simply because it is currently popular.
You may see Rejuran described online as a “salmon sperm” treatment, but that is an oversimplified and slightly sensational description. Rejuran contains highly purified polynucleotides derived from salmon DNA. The finished injectable product is therefore not simply salmon sperm being injected into the skin; it contains processed and purified polynucleotide material manufactured for aesthetic use.
What happens during treatment?
Following consultation, small amounts of Rejuran are carefully injected across the treatment area. You may notice temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising or small raised areas at the injection sites. These usually settle gradually after treatment. Rejuran is often recommended as a course, although the number and spacing of treatments will depend on your skin and individual goals.
Rejuran is a gradual treatment rather than an instant correction. Some patients begin to notice changes in the appearance and feel of their skin during the weeks following treatment, with further improvement developing across a recommended course. Results vary between individuals.
Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising and visible injection points can occur following treatment. Recovery varies from person to person, so it is sensible to allow sufficient time before an important event. Your practitioner will explain the expected aftercare and any relevant risks before treatment.
Rejuran may be suitable if your main concern is improving skin quality without adding noticeable volume. Suitability depends on factors including your skin condition, medical history, allergies, previous treatments and treatment goals. As Rejuran contains salmon-derived polynucleotides, please tell your practitioner if you have a known fish allergy.
