As we age, our skin ages too which is only sped up by external stimuli and stress. When the skin ages, collagen and elastic fiber in the skin are diminished and our dermis layer gets thinner and lose elasticity. This is why aged skin feels thinner and we get wrinkles.

So came the Rejuran Healer injection in 2014 and became increasingly popular. It uses a substance called PN(Polynucleotide) to regenerate skin tissue, make our skin thicker and increase its elasticity. It reduces wrinkles and brings back the skin to its younger form.

Since it regenerates the skin cells themselves, it is very effective for treating acne scars and tightening the pores in your skin. It is also known for making your skin tone brighter and texture smoother.

(When more than 10 Nucleotides, which are in DNA, are linked together, it is called a PolyNucleotide)

PN is derived from and is a fragment of DNA, and extracted from Salmon milt. When this is injected into the skin, it works in the dermal layer helping the skin to regenerate. It increases its elasticity and reverses damages to skin. It is known to be a very safe substance, stable to heat and does not cause adverse side effects in the human body.

The 'Salmon injection' is composed of PDRN, which like the PN is a fragment of DNA. But PN are typically longer threads than PDRN. So if the PDRN in Salmon injections are act quickly in healing the skin structures, the PN in Rejuran healer stays in the skin longer and act as a support structure while healing.

The component properties of the Rejuran healer, compared to other cosmetic injectables like Hyaluronic acid fillers, Sculptra, and Ellanse, are more akin to our skin, so when injected as a standalone treatment it has almost no side effects. However you should be cautious when getting Rejuran healer with other treatments simultaneously. This is because when it comes it contact with hyaluronic acid or injected fat, it could cause hyper-reactions. To avoid this, you should consult with your doctor about your treatment history before getting Rejuran healers.
