When people search rejuran before and after, they usually want an honest answer to one question: what actually changes? Realistically, Rejuran (a polynucleotide skin booster derived from purified salmon DNA fragments) improves skin quality β texture, fine lines, thickness and resilience β over a course of sessions, not overnight. Most patients notice smoother, more hydrated, better-toned skin around 4β6 weeks after starting, with cumulative results building across a typical 3β4 session plan. Results vary by individual, and any final plan should be confirmed at an in-person consultation.
Below, we walk through who Rejuran suits, what "before and after" looks like by area (face, under eyes, scars, neck), what a course includes, and what recovery feels like when you're travelling.
What Rejuran actually does (and what before-and-after really shows)
Rejuran is not a filler and not a wrinkle relaxer. It doesn't add volume or freeze muscles. Instead, polynucleotides are thought to support the skin's own repair environment β improving hydration, elasticity and barrier quality. So when you compare rejuran results before and after, you're looking for subtler shifts: skin that reflects light more evenly, pores that look tighter, crepey areas that look smoother, and an overall "healthier skin" impression rather than a dramatic contour change.
Because the change is gradual, honest rejuran before and after pictures tend to be less "wow" than filler photos but more genuine β the improvement is in skin quality, which is exactly what a booster is designed for.
See real cases. Photographs say more than description. Our patient case gallery holds before-and-after records from treatments performed at HERA, filterable by treatment type β worth looking through before you decide what is realistic for you. You can also read the full protocol on our Rejuran page.
Who Rejuran is for β and who it's NOT for
Rejuran tends to suit people who feel their skin looks tired, dehydrated, thin, or crepey β and who want a natural improvement rather than obvious change. It's a strong choice for early aging, dull texture, and fine lines.
- Good fit: dull or dehydrated skin, fine lines, mild acne scarring, crepey under-eyes, thinning neck skin, people wanting a subtle refresh.
- Not the best fit: if your main concern is deep volume loss (filler may suit better), sagging jowls (a lifting treatment may suit better), or pigment/redness alone (a laser may suit better).
If you want lift rather than skin quality, we'd usually point you toward our lifting treatments instead, or discuss combining. If you want volume, fillers are a different tool. Rejuran sits within our skin regeneration boosters family, and the right answer is often a combination β decided at consultation.
By area: what to expect
| Face | Under eyes | Scars / Neck | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common goal | Texture, glow, fine lines | Crepey, thin under-eye skin | Acne scar smoothing, neck lines |
| Sessions | 3-4 | 3-4 | 3-5+ (scars often more) |
| Change type | Gradual, subtle | Improved firmness/texture | Gradual, needs patience |
For rejuran before and after face, most people describe a smoother, more "lit-from-within" complexion. Eye rejuran before and after (also searched as rejuran under eyes before and after, rejuran eye injection before and after, or rejuran injection under eye before and after) targets the thin, crepey skin around the eyes β this is a delicate area that needs an experienced physician and conservative dosing. Note this differs from filler under the eye; Rejuran improves skin quality, it does not fill a tear-trough hollow.
For rejuran scar before and after, results build slowly and scar cases often need more sessions. Rejuran neck before and after targets crepey neck skin and horizontal lines. Some clinics also offer specific formulations β the rejuran hb before and after (a hydra-boosting version blending polynucleotides with hyaluronic acid) and the rejuran healing essence before and after or rejuran tone up booster before and after lines β which we'll only recommend if they genuinely fit your skin. We also get asked about rejuran lips before and after; lip skin can be treated for hydration and texture, but this is niche and not for everyone.
Good to know
"Microneedling with Rejuran before and after" refers to applying the polynucleotide via microneedling channels rather than injection β it can suit broad texture concerns and larger areas. Whether injection or microneedling delivery is better for you depends on the concern and area, and we'll advise honestly at consultation.
What a Rejuran course includes at HERA
At HERA, a Rejuran plan is built around a course, because a single session rarely delivers the full rejuran salmon dna before and after change people hope for. Your written estimate typically covers: the consultation and skin assessment, the agreed number of sessions and recommended spacing, the specific product/formulation chosen for your concern, numbing, the treatment itself by a licensed physician, and clear written aftercare.
Same price for local and international patients. There is no foreigner markup at HERA. We don't print per-session or per-vial figures online because the right number of sessions and formulation genuinely differ per person β so instead we give you an itemised written estimate before anything begins, and route every enquiry through a proper consultation.
Trust: doctor-led care and genuine products
Rejuran is a medical injectable, so who performs it β and what's in the vial β matters more than any before-and-after photo. At HERA, treatment is performed by licensed physicians, not delegated. We follow a genuine-product handling protocol: products are opened in front of you where appropriate, with serial and record-keeping so you can be confident about what's being used.
We'd rather recommend fewer sessions you understand than oversell a plan. If Rejuran isn't the right tool for your concern, we'll tell you at consultation.
Recovery timeline: day-of, 3-day, 7-day
- Day of: small bumps or papules at injection points, mild redness, and possible pinpoint bruising. This is normal and settles.
- Day 3: most bumps have flattened; any bruising is fading and easily covered with makeup.
- Day 7: skin typically looks calm and normal; the quality improvement continues to build over the following weeks.
Before you fly
Schedule your session early in your Seoul trip so the small injection bumps and any bruising settle before events or your flight β allow a few buffer days. If you're doing a full course, we can plan which sessions happen in Korea and how to continue after you travel home.
For the first 24β48 hours, avoid intense heat (saunas, hot yoga), alcohol, and vigorous exercise, and keep the area clean. If you're combining Rejuran with a laser or microneedling, the recovery advice shifts slightly β we'll give you area-specific written aftercare.
Visiting HERA in Gangnam
For international patients, we make the logistics simple. You can enquire and reserve before you arrive in Korea. An on-site English interpreter accompanies your consultation and treatment, so nothing about your plan, product or aftercare gets lost in translation. Most single Rejuran sessions fit comfortably into a short trip, though a full course may be planned across your stay or continued at home.
If you're considering Rejuran alongside a lifting or laser treatment, we can sequence them so timing and downtime line up with your travel schedule. Whatever you choose, you'll receive an itemised written estimate up front β the same price for local and international patients β and our team stays reachable after you leave.
Message our English-speaking team for a personalised Rejuran plan. There's no obligation to proceed on the day you enquire.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Q1How long until I see Rejuran before and after results?
Most patients notice smoother, more hydrated skin around 4β6 weeks after starting, with results building across a typical 3β4 session course. Rejuran improves skin quality gradually rather than overnight, and outcomes vary by individual β your physician will set realistic expectations at consultation.Q2What does eye Rejuran before and after look like (under eyes)?
Rejuran under the eyes targets thin, crepey skin, aiming to improve firmness and texture. It differs from filler β it doesn't fill a tear-trough hollow, it improves skin quality. This is a delicate area needing an experienced physician and conservative dosing; results are subtle and build over sessions.Q3Is Rejuran good for scars, and how does the scar before and after differ?
Rejuran can help improve the texture of some mild acne scarring, but scar cases usually build slowly and often need more sessions than a standard course. Deeper or older scars may respond better to a combined plan β we'll assess honestly at consultation and suggest the most suitable approach for your skin.Q4What's the difference between Rejuran injection and microneedling with Rejuran?
Injection delivers polynucleotides into targeted points, while microneedling with Rejuran spreads it via micro-channels and can suit broader texture concerns or larger areas. Which is better depends on your concern and area β your physician will recommend the right delivery method at consultation.Q5How much does a Rejuran course cost at HERA?
We don't publish per-session or per-vial figures because the right number of sessions and formulation genuinely differ per person. Instead, you'll receive an itemised written estimate before anything begins β the same price for local and international patients, with no foreigner markup.
