Rejuran under-eye before and after photos typically show smoother, less crepey skin, softer fine lines, and a fresher, better-rested look around the eyes — not a filled-in hollow or an instant lift. Rejuran (a polynucleotide skin booster) works by improving skin quality over a course of sessions, so changes are gradual and subtle rather than dramatic. Results vary by individual, and the final plan should be decided in an in-person consultation. If your main concern is a deep tear-trough hollow or eye-bag bulge, a booster alone is usually not the answer.
What Rejuran actually does under the eye
The under-eye is one of the thinnest, most delicate zones of skin on the entire face. That is exactly why it shows fatigue, fine crepey texture and dullness so early. Rejuran is a polynucleotide (PN/PDRN) injectable that acts as a skin booster: instead of adding volume, it aims to improve the quality of the skin itself — hydration, elasticity, and the way the surface reflects light.
In realistic before-and-after cases, patients tend to notice the fine "crinkle" lines look softer, the skin feels more resilient, and the under-eye no longer looks quite so tired by mid-afternoon. What Rejuran does not do is fill a structural hollow or remove a fat-pad bulge. Managing that expectation upfront is the single most important thing for anyone searching "rejuran under eye before and after."
Good to know
Rejuran under the eye is about texture and skin quality, not volume. If a photo online looks like an instant plumping fix, that result was almost certainly filler — a different treatment with a different job.
Who it's for — and who it's not
Rejuran under the eye tends to suit people who want a natural, gradual refresh rather than a visible change overnight. It is a common starting point for those nervous about filler in such a delicate area.
- Good candidates: fine crepey lines, dull or thin-looking under-eye skin, early texture changes, and people who want subtle improvement over a course.
- Less suitable: deep tear-trough hollows caused by volume loss, prominent eye-bag bulges, or anyone expecting a single-session transformation.
- The alternative we'd suggest: a genuine hollow may be better served by carefully placed under-eye filler, while laxity and puffiness sometimes respond better to energy-based tightening. Many patients do best with a combination, sequenced sensibly.

How the before and after actually develops
Because Rejuran works with your own skin's repair processes, before-and-after change is cumulative. After a first session you may see a little brightness, but the meaningful texture improvement usually builds across a course of sessions spaced a few weeks apart. Most under-eye plans involve several sessions, then occasional maintenance.
| Rejuran (booster) | Under-eye filler | |
|---|---|---|
| Main job | Skin quality & texture | Restore a hollow |
| Result speed | Gradual, over weeks | Visible quickly |
| Best for | Crepey, thin, dull skin | Structural tear-trough |
| Sessions | A course, then maintenance | Usually one, refined |
They are not competitors so much as different tools. In our experience, the most satisfying under-eye results often come from treating the skin's quality and its structure — but only when both are genuinely indicated, never as an upsell.
What's included at HERA
At HERA, a Rejuran under-eye plan starts with a physician assessing your under-eye skin, the cause of your concern (texture versus volume versus laxity), and whether a booster is the right first step at all. Your treatment includes the consultation, the injection session performed by a licensed doctor, and clear written aftercare.
We charge the same price for local and international patients — there is no foreigner markup. Because the right number of sessions depends entirely on your skin, we don't publish per-session figures here; instead we provide a written, itemised estimate after your consultation so you know exactly what's included before anything begins. You can also read our Rejuran price in Korea guide for how pricing is structured. Rejuran belongs to our skin regeneration boosters category; if a hollow needs addressing we may reference fillers, and for laxity our lifting treatments.
Trust: doctor-led care and genuine product
The under-eye is not a zone for shortcuts. Injection depth, technique and product handling matter enormously in tissue this thin, which is why every Rejuran session at HERA is performed by a licensed physician rather than delegated.
We follow a genuine-product protocol: products are opened in front of you where appropriate, with serial and record-keeping so you can verify authenticity. An on-site English interpreter supports your consultation and treatment so nothing about your plan, risks or aftercare is lost in translation.
Recovery timeline and travel-aware aftercare
Rejuran under-eye downtime is usually mild, but the delicate skin means small marks are more visible here than elsewhere.
- Day of: tiny pinpoint injection marks, mild redness and occasional small bumps where product was placed; possible slight bruising. Keep the area clean and avoid makeup for the rest of the day.
- Day 3: most redness and bumps have settled; any bruising is fading and usually coverable with concealer.
- Day 7: marks are typically gone and skin looks settled — this is when many patients start noticing a fresher texture that builds further with each session.
Before you fly
Schedule Rejuran early in your Seoul trip and leave a couple of buffer days before any event or your flight, in case of minor bruising. Avoid saunas, intense heat, alcohol and strenuous exercise for the first 24-48 hours, and use sun protection on the delicate under-eye skin.
Visiting HERA in Gangnam
For international patients, the logistics can feel harder than the treatment. Here is how a visit works:
- Consultation and booking: enquire and reserve before you arrive in Korea so your visit is confirmed.
- Interpreter: an on-site English interpreter accompanies your consultation and treatment.
- Length of stay: a single session fits a short trip, though a full under-eye course is spaced over weeks — we'll advise honestly whether one visit or maintenance across trips makes more sense.
- Combining treatments: if a hollow or laxity is also involved, we can sequence booster, filler and lifting sensibly rather than doing everything at once.
- Same price, written estimate: local and international patients pay the same, with an itemised estimate agreed before we begin.
We would rather you leave with a smaller, honest plan you understand than an oversized one you were talked into. If you'd like a personalised assessment of whether Rejuran suits your under-eye concern, our English-speaking team is one message away — with no obligation to proceed on the day.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Q1How long do Rejuran under-eye results last?
Because Rejuran improves skin quality gradually, results build over a course and typically hold for several months before maintenance is considered. Longevity varies by individual, skin condition and lifestyle, so your physician will suggest a maintenance interval at your consultation.Q2Will Rejuran get rid of my dark circles?
It depends on the cause. If darkness comes from thin, crepey skin, Rejuran may genuinely help. If it's a shadow from a hollow or a fat-pad bulge, a booster won't change that — filler or another approach may be more suitable. We assess the cause first.Q3How many sessions will I need under the eye?
Most under-eye plans involve several sessions spaced a few weeks apart, followed by occasional maintenance. The exact number depends on your skin and goals, which we confirm in person before giving a written, itemised estimate.Q4Is Rejuran under the eye painful, and is there downtime?
Numbing is used and most patients tolerate it well. Downtime is usually mild — tiny pinpoint marks and possible slight bruising that typically settle within a few days. We recommend scheduling early in a trip with buffer days before flying.Q5Do international patients pay more than local patients at HERA?
No. HERA charges the same price for local and international patients with no foreigner markup. We don't publish per-session figures because the plan varies by individual; you receive a written, itemised estimate after your consultation.
