Common Questions
Frequently Asked — Rejuran
What is Rejuran and is it popular in BGC?
Rejuran is a Korean-origin injectable treatment using polynucleotides derived from salmon DNA to regenerate and repair skin from within. It is extremely popular among discerning clients in BGC for its ability to improve texture, elasticity, hydration, and fine lines naturally. AUREA BGC is a premier provider of authentic Rejuran therapy.
How much does Rejuran cost?
Rejuran pricing varies based on the product variant (Rejuran Healer, Rejuran S, Rejuran i) and the number of syringes used per session. A typical full-face treatment uses 2–4 syringes. We provide exact pricing during consultation, with package discounts available for treatment series.
What results can I expect from Rejuran?
After a full series, clients typically report smoother skin texture, refined pores, improved elasticity, a natural glow, and softened fine lines. Rejuran works gradually and cumulatively — the results are authentic and long-lasting because they come from genuine skin regeneration rather than temporary masking.
Is Rejuran safe for people with fish allergies?
Rejuran is derived from salmon DNA but is highly purified. Most clients with fish allergies tolerate Rejuran without issue because allergenic proteins are removed during processing. However, we conduct thorough allergy screening during consultation and proceed with appropriate caution for sensitive individuals.
What are the differences between Rejuran Healer, S, and i?
Rejuran Healer is the standard full-face regenerative formula. Rejuran S is a thicker, more concentrated version for scar treatment. Rejuran i is specifically formulated for the delicate under-eye area. Your doctor selects the variant that matches your primary concern.
Can Rejuran be safely combined with hyaluronic acid fillers?
Yes, but we typically recommend spacing them by two weeks. Rejuran regenerates skin quality while fillers add structure and volume. When staged correctly, they produce comprehensive facial rejuvenation that looks both lifted and naturally healthy.
What is the optimal interval between Rejuran sessions?
Sessions are spaced 3–4 weeks apart to allow the polynucleotides to activate cell repair between treatments. This interval maximizes the cumulative regenerative effect. Rushing sessions closer together does not improve results and may increase side effects.
Does Rejuran sometimes cause temporary injection bumps?
Tiny bumps at injection sites are normal and resolve within 24–72 hours as the product integrates. These are not complications — they are part of the micro-injection delivery process. Gentle massage and hydration help them dissipate faster.
Can Rejuran improve the appearance of under-eye darkness?
Rejuran i is specifically designed for the periorbital area. It improves skin thickness, texture, and microcirculation in the under-eye region, which can reduce the shadowed appearance of dark circles caused by thin, translucent skin.
Is Rejuran superior to standard skinbooster injections?
Rejuran and traditional skinboosters serve different purposes. Skinboosters primarily hydrate. Rejuran actively repairs DNA damage, stimulates fibroblasts, and regenerates tissue. For anti-aging and repair, Rejuran offers deeper, more structural benefits than simple hydration.
Can Rejuran help with raised or pitted acne scars?
Rejuran S is specifically formulated for scar tissue. It improves the quality of scarred skin by increasing collagen and elastin in the damaged area. While it may not completely eliminate deep ice-pick scars, it significantly improves rolling and boxcar scar texture.
What injection technique does AUREA BGC use for Rejuran?
We use the serial puncture and micro-droplet technique, placing tiny amounts of Rejuran at precise depths across the treatment area. This ensures even distribution and optimal integration with your tissue. The technique is refined for minimal discomfort and maximal coverage.
Are there any immediate visible effects after Rejuran?
Some clients notice a subtle glow and hydration boost within days due to the product's immediate moisture-binding properties. However, the true regenerative results — improved texture, elasticity, and pore refinement — develop over 4–8 weeks and peak after the full series.
Can Rejuran and laser treatment be done on the same day?
We generally recommend spacing Rejuran and laser by one to two weeks. Both treatments create controlled micro-injuries that stimulate repair. Stacking them on the same day can overstress the skin. Your doctor will design an optimal sequencing schedule.
How does Rejuran compare to salmon DNA creams?
Topical creams cannot penetrate deeply enough to deliver polynucleotides to the dermis where regeneration occurs. Injectable Rejuran places active ingredients directly into the target tissue. The difference in efficacy between topical and injectable is enormous.
Can Rejuran be used on the neck and decolletage?
Yes. The neck and chest are excellent areas for Rejuran, as they often show early signs of aging and sun damage. Rejuran improves crepey texture, fine lines, and overall skin quality in these delicate areas where fillers are rarely appropriate.
What is Rejuran Healer?
Rejuran Healer is an injectable skin regeneration treatment containing polynucleotides (PN) extracted from salmon DNA. It is administered as multiple shallow injections into the skin to stimulate cellular repair, collagen production, and improved skin quality.
How does Rejuran work?
Rejuran's polynucleotide molecules signal fibroblast cells to increase activity, stimulate collagen and elastin production, enhance microcirculation, and reduce inflammation. The result is gradual but significant improvement in skin texture, thickness, and overall quality.
How much does Rejuran cost in BGC?
Rejuran treatments in BGC typically cost PHP 18,000 to PHP 35,000 per session depending on the product variant (S, HB, or I) and the area treated. A full series of three to four sessions represents the recommended initial protocol.
Is Rejuran the same as filler?
No. Filler adds volume to specific areas; Rejuran improves skin quality from within. While both are injectable, they work through entirely different mechanisms. Many patients use both — filler for structural support, Rejuran for skin regeneration.
How many Rejuran sessions do I need?
Most patients require three to four sessions spaced four weeks apart for optimal initial results. After completion, maintenance sessions every six to twelve months preserve benefits. Severe cases or older patients may benefit from extended initial protocols.
Is Rejuran painful?
Rejuran injections are mildly to moderately painful. Topical numbing cream applied for 30 minutes before treatment significantly reduces discomfort. The under-eye area is the most sensitive. Tolerance improves with subsequent sessions.
What is the difference between Rejuran S, HB, and I?
Rejuran S is formulated for fine lines and delicate areas. Rejuran HB combines polynucleotides with hyaluronic acid for added hydration. Rejuran I is designed for the under-eye area specifically. Your provider selects based on your concerns and skin type.
How soon will I see Rejuran results?
Subtle improvements in skin texture become visible after the first session. Most patients see meaningful changes by the second and third treatments. Full results emerge eight to twelve weeks after completing the initial series.
Is Rejuran safe?
Yes. Rejuran has been approved by the Korean FDA and is widely used across Asia and the Middle East. The polynucleotides are biocompatible and biodegradable. Side effects are typically limited to mild bruising and small bumps that resolve within days.
Can Rejuran be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Rejuran combines excellently with HIFU, microneedling, laser, and other regenerative treatments. It is often used after laser to accelerate healing and enhance results. Sequence and timing should be planned by an experienced provider.
Will I see immediate results after Rejuran?
No. Unlike filler, Rejuran does not provide immediate volume or structural change. Effects develop gradually as the polynucleotides stimulate cellular repair over weeks. Patience during the early treatment phase is essential.
Can Rejuran treat acne scars?
Yes. Rejuran is highly effective for atrophic acne scars when combined with subcision or fractional laser. The treatment stimulates dermal remodeling and gradually softens scar texture. Multiple sessions are required for visible improvement.
Is Rejuran suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. Rejuran is generally well tolerated by sensitive skin types. The treatment can even reduce inflammation and improve barrier function over time. Patients with active infections or severe rosacea should defer until skin is stable.
Can I get Rejuran while breastfeeding?
Rejuran is not specifically contraindicated during breastfeeding, but most providers recommend deferring elective treatments until after lactation due to lack of comprehensive studies. Consult your physician for personalized guidance.
Does Rejuran improve pore size?
Yes. Many patients report visibly smaller pores after a complete Rejuran series. The improvement comes from enhanced skin thickness, better oil regulation, and overall improvement in skin quality and elasticity.
Can Rejuran be used for the neck?
Yes. Rejuran is increasingly used for neck rejuvenation, addressing horizontal lines, crepiness, and overall skin quality. The neck typically requires more product per session and may need additional treatments compared to facial areas.
What are the side effects of Rejuran?
Common side effects include small white bumps at injection sites lasting 24 to 48 hours, mild redness, occasional bruising, and minor tenderness. Serious complications are extremely rare when treatment is properly performed.
Can Rejuran cause allergic reactions?
True allergic reactions to Rejuran are extremely rare. Most patients tolerate the polynucleotide compound without immune response. Patients with known shellfish allergies should discuss this with their provider, though salmon DNA differs from shellfish proteins.
How long does each Rejuran session take?
A typical Rejuran session takes 30 to 45 minutes, including numbing cream application. Treatment of larger areas or multiple zones may extend this. Most patients return to normal activities the same day.
Will Rejuran hurt my under-eye area?
The under-eye area is the most sensitive treatment zone for Rejuran. Despite numbing, patients commonly experience pinch-like sensations during injection. Bruising is more common here. The results, however, are often the most dramatic of any area.
How long do Rejuran results last?
Initial benefits typically last 8 to 12 months. With continued maintenance every 6 to 12 months, cumulative improvements persist long-term. Discontinuing treatment leads to gradual return to baseline as natural aging continues.
Can Rejuran reverse aging?
Rejuran cannot reverse aging, but it can significantly improve the signs of skin aging — texture, thickness, elasticity, and overall quality. The treatment supports healthier skin biology rather than masking aged appearance.
Is Rejuran better than collagen supplements?
They work differently. Oral collagen supplements provide systemic protein support but limited targeted skin benefit. Rejuran directly stimulates skin cells at the dermal level. Many patients use both for comprehensive skin health.
Can Rejuran be done in the same session as Botox?
Yes. Rejuran and Botox can be performed in the same visit when planned by an experienced provider. They address complementary aspects of aging — Botox relaxes dynamic wrinkles while Rejuran rebuilds skin quality.
What should I avoid after Rejuran?
Avoid touching, rubbing, or massaging treated areas for 24 hours. Skip strenuous exercise, saunas, and hot environments for 48 hours. Avoid facial procedures, makeup, or skincare with acids for several days. Maintain sun protection.
Can I exercise after Rejuran?
Light activity is fine the same day. Avoid intense exercise that significantly raises body temperature for 48 hours, as this can worsen swelling and bruising. Resume normal exercise gradually after the initial recovery period.
Are Rejuran bumps normal?
Yes. Small white or skin-colored bumps appear immediately at each injection site as the product is deposited just beneath the skin. These resolve within 24 to 48 hours. Persistent or growing bumps should be reported to your provider.
Can Rejuran cause infection?
Properly performed Rejuran rarely causes infection. Sterile technique and quality product are essential. Patients should avoid touching treated areas, swimming, and applying non-sterile products in the first 24 hours.
Is Rejuran approved in the Philippines?
Rejuran products are imported and used widely across BGC and Metro Manila. Always verify that your provider uses authentic Korean-sourced product with proper documentation. Counterfeit polynucleotide products exist and should be avoided.
Can Rejuran help with melasma?
Rejuran does not directly treat melasma but can improve overall skin quality and barrier function, which supports melasma management. Combining with targeted laser and topical treatments delivers better pigmentation results.
Will Rejuran make me look younger?
Yes, often visibly. Patients commonly appear five to ten years younger after a complete Rejuran series, primarily through improved skin quality, smoother texture, and enhanced luminosity. Results compound with continued maintenance.
Can Rejuran be used after laser?
Yes. Rejuran is frequently administered immediately after laser treatments to accelerate healing, enhance collagen response, and improve final results. Combination protocols are among the most powerful in regenerative aesthetics.
What is the best time of year for Rejuran?
Rejuran can be performed year-round in the Philippines. Some patients prefer cooler months when sun exposure is naturally lower, though strict daily sunscreen use makes any season suitable. Plan around major sun-exposed activities.
Can men benefit from Rejuran?
Yes. Male patients benefit substantially from Rejuran, particularly for under-eye improvement, overall skin quality, and post-procedure healing acceleration. Male skin typically requires similar dosing and session frequency as female patients.
Will Rejuran change my facial features?
No. Rejuran improves skin quality without altering structural features. Unlike filler, it does not add volume or change shape. The result is improved skin — same face, better surface.
Can Rejuran help with rosacea?
Some evidence suggests Rejuran may benefit rosacea by improving barrier function and reducing inflammation. The treatment is not a primary rosacea therapy but may complement standard management. Discuss with a dermatologist familiar with the condition.
How is Rejuran administered?
Rejuran is injected via multiple shallow puncture points across treated areas using fine needles. Some providers use injector devices that deliver consistent dosing across the area. Total injection time is typically 5 to 15 minutes.
Can Rejuran be used on the chest?
Yes. Decolletage Rejuran addresses sun damage, fine lines, and crepey texture in this area. The chest typically needs more sessions due to thinner skin and significant photodamage history.
Will Rejuran improve under-eye dark circles?
Rejuran improves under-eye texture and thickness, which can reduce the appearance of dark circles caused by visible vasculature through thin skin. Dark circles from pigmentation alone require different treatment approaches.
How does Rejuran differ from PRP?
PRP uses growth factors derived from your own blood. Rejuran uses purified polynucleotides from salmon DNA. PRP delivers immediate growth factor release; Rejuran provides sustained signaling over weeks. Both are excellent regenerative options.
Can Rejuran cause asymmetry?
Properly performed Rejuran does not cause facial asymmetry. The treatment improves quality without changing structure. Existing asymmetries are not corrected by Rejuran and may require separate treatment planning.
Is Rejuran painful for everyone?
Pain perception varies. Most patients find it tolerable with proper numbing. Sensitive areas like under-eyes and lips may produce stronger sensation. Communicate with your provider about comfort levels during treatment.
Can Rejuran be performed on darker skin tones?
Yes. Rejuran is safe and effective across all Fitzpatrick skin types including the darker Filipino skin spectrum. Risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is minimal due to the gentle, intradermal nature of the treatment.
What is the recovery time for Rejuran?
There is minimal downtime. Injection bumps resolve within 24 to 48 hours. Mild redness may persist for several hours. Most patients return to work the same day or the following morning. Bruising, when present, may take 5 to 10 days to fade.
Can Rejuran be used preventively?
Yes. Patients in their late twenties and thirties increasingly use Rejuran as preventive maintenance, supporting skin health before significant aging develops. Starting earlier preserves quality more effectively than addressing damage later.
How long does numbing take before Rejuran?
Topical numbing cream is typically applied for 20 to 30 minutes before treatment to ensure adequate effect. Some clinics use additional nerve blocks for sensitive areas like the upper lip or lateral cheek.
Will Rejuran improve my skin's elasticity?
Yes. Rejuran's stimulation of fibroblast activity directly increases collagen and elastin production, measurably improving skin elasticity over the course of treatment. Improvement is gradual but cumulative.
Can Rejuran help with stretch marks?
Yes. Rejuran has shown promise for stretch mark improvement, particularly newer red or purple marks. Older white stretch marks respond more slowly. Multiple sessions are required, and combination with laser typically improves results.
Is Rejuran covered by insurance?
No. Rejuran is cosmetic and not covered by Philippine health insurance. Some clinics offer package pricing or financing options. Confirm total program cost before committing.
How do I know Rejuran is working?
Improvements appear gradually. Compare standardized photographs at consistent intervals. Notice changes in skin smoothness, glow, pore appearance, and overall quality. Most patients see meaningful change by the third session and continued improvement for months afterward.
Can Rejuran be performed weekly?
No. Sessions should be spaced four weeks apart to allow proper biological response and tissue remodeling. More frequent treatment does not enhance results and may cause unnecessary trauma to the skin.
Will Rejuran reduce fine lines?
Yes. Fine lines from skin thinning and dehydration respond well to Rejuran. Deeper static wrinkles caused by long-term muscle activity respond better to combined approaches including Botox and filler.
Can Rejuran damage my skin?
Properly performed Rejuran does not damage skin. The polynucleotides support healing and regeneration. Risk of harm is associated with improper technique, counterfeit product, or treatment of unsuitable candidates.
What is the cost-benefit of a full Rejuran program?
A complete initial program of four sessions in BGC typically costs PHP 80,000 to PHP 140,000 and delivers benefits lasting 8 to 12 months. Annual maintenance of one to two sessions sustains results long-term.
Can Rejuran be performed during sun-exposed seasons?
Yes, with rigorous sun protection. Treated skin is more vulnerable to UV damage during healing. Daily SPF 50+ sunscreen, hats, and avoiding peak sun exposure are essential for 1 to 2 weeks after each session.
Does Rejuran work better than retinol?
They work differently. Retinol provides daily topical support for cell turnover. Rejuran provides intermittent intradermal stimulation. They are complementary, not competitive. Best results come from combining both.
Can Rejuran address pregnancy-related skin changes?
Yes, after pregnancy and breastfeeding are complete. Rejuran can address abdominal skin laxity, stretch mark improvement, facial pigmentation, and overall skin quality changes from hormonal shifts.
Will my skin look worse before it looks better?
Brief post-injection bumps and redness can give the impression of worse skin for the first 24 to 48 hours. After this initial phase, only gradual improvement occurs. There is no significant downturn phase.
Can Rejuran replace skincare?
No. Rejuran complements but does not replace daily skincare. Consistent topical regimens including cleansers, antioxidants, retinoids, and sunscreen remain essential. In-clinic procedures amplify results from good daily care.
Is Rejuran addictive?
No. Rejuran is not pharmacologically addictive. Patients may become accustomed to improved skin quality and choose to continue maintenance, but there is no biological dependence or withdrawal.
Can Rejuran treat sagging skin?
Rejuran improves skin quality and provides some firming but does not provide significant lifting. For sagging skin, combining Rejuran with HIFU, threads, or surgical intervention delivers more comprehensive results.
How young can someone start Rejuran?
Most clinics offer Rejuran from age 25, though earlier may be appropriate for specific concerns. Patients under 22 typically have sufficient natural skin quality and may not need this treatment.
Will my partner notice my Rejuran results?
Partners often comment on improved skin glow, smoothness, and overall appearance after Rejuran. The changes are noticeable but typically not identifiable as a specific cosmetic intervention.
Can Rejuran be used on the hands?
Yes. Hand Rejuran addresses aging signs including thin skin, fine lines, and texture changes. The hands are often overlooked in facial rejuvenation plans but show aging prominently. Combination with hand laser or filler enhances results.
Are there contraindications for Rejuran?
Contraindications include pregnancy, breastfeeding, active skin infections at treatment sites, autoimmune disorders affecting healing, and known allergies to components. Patients on immunosuppressive therapy should discuss with their physician.
Can Rejuran reduce my dependence on heavy skincare?
Many patients find that consistent Rejuran allows simplification of topical regimens since skin quality improves at the dermal level. Daily skincare can become more streamlined while results remain superior.
How long until I should plan for visible results?
Plan for 12 to 16 weeks from your first Rejuran session to see optimized results. The cumulative effect of a complete series compounds during this window. Schedule important events accordingly.
Will Rejuran improve my skin tone?
Rejuran improves overall complexion uniformity, luminosity, and clarity. Specific pigmentation issues may require additional targeted treatments, but the general appearance of even, healthy skin tone improves significantly.
Can I shower after Rejuran?
Yes, with gentle care. Avoid hot water, harsh soaps, and aggressive scrubbing on treated areas for 24 hours. Lukewarm water and gentle cleansing are appropriate. Pat dry rather than rubbing.
What questions should I ask before starting Rejuran?
Ask about the provider's experience with Rejuran specifically, which variant they recommend for your concerns, expected number of sessions, total cost, before-and-after examples, and what realistic results you can expect for your specific skin and age.
