What is Rejuran? The Secret to K-Beauty’s Glass Skin
Rejuran Healer is a skin-regenerating injectable made from Polynucleotide (PN) derived from salmon DNA, designed to repair damaged skin and restore elasticity.
Unlike traditional fillers that only add volume, Rejuran stimulates cellular growth and collagen production, offering a long-term solution for scars, pores, and aging skin. (Source: Based on Korean MFDS and clinical studies on PDRN/PN efficacy)
In this guide, we’ll explore why this “Salmon DNA” treatment is a must-have for anyone visiting Korea for medical tourism.

How Does Rejuran Work? 4 Reasons It’s Different
Rejuran works by delivering PN (Polynucleotide) directly into the dermis to trigger the skin’s natural healing process.
- DNA Regeneration: Salmon DNA is 95% similar to human DNA, making it highly compatible and safe for skin repair.
- Fibroblast Activation: It awakens “tired” cells to produce new collagen and elastin naturally.
- Barrier Strengthening: It thickens the skin’s protective layer, making it more resilient against environmental damage.
- Oil-Water Balance: It reduces sebum production and minimizes pore size, perfect for “Glass Skin” results.
Wondering if you should get a filler or Rejuran instead? The answer depends on your skin goals. Let’s compare them below.
Key Components and Topical Alternatives
The primary ingredient, PN (Polynucleotide), has a higher molecular weight than PDRN, providing longer-lasting structural support to the skin.
- Polynucleotide (PN): The core “scaffold” for skin regeneration used in Rejuran Healer.
- PDRN: Often found in topical creams like Rejuvenex for faster wound healing.
- Biocompatible Polymers: Ensures the treatment is safe even for those with sensitive skin.

🤔 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1. How many sessions of Rejuran do I need?
A. For optimal results, we recommend 3 to 4 sessions spaced 3-4 weeks apart. You will notice significant texture improvement after the second session.
Q2. Is there any downtime?
A. You may experience small bumps (embossing) at the injection site, but they usually disappear within 24 to 48 hours. Most patients return to daily life immediately.
Q3. Can I use Rejuvenex cream instead of the injection?
A. Rejuvenex cream is excellent for home care and after-treatment maintenance, but the injection provides deeper penetration for more dramatic results.

Is Rejuran Cheaper in Korea? Price Comparison (Korea vs. USA)
A single session of Rejuran Healer in South Korea typically costs between $150 and $350, whereas similar regenerative treatments in the USA can range from $600 to $1,200 per session.
The significant price gap is due to the high density of dermatology clinics in Seoul and the fact that Rejuran was developed and manufactured in Korea, reducing supply chain costs. For many international patients, the savings on a full 3-session package can often cover the cost of their flight to Korea.
| Region | Estimated Price (per 2cc) | Treatment Availability |
|---|---|---|
| South Korea | $150 – $350 | Widely available in all clinics |
| USA / Europe | $600 – $1,200 | Limited (Often used off-label) |
Note: Prices in Korea may vary based on the clinic’s location (e.g., Gangnam or Myeongdong) and whether the treatment is performed by a board-certified dermatologist. Most clinics also offer 10% tax refunds for foreign tourists.
While the low price is tempting, it’s essential to ensure you are receiving the genuine Rejuran Healer product. Let’s look at some frequently asked questions to help you prepare for your K-beauty journey.
