Rejuran

Anti-ageing & skin rejuvenation

Rejuran

Rejuran is the brand name for a treatment that contains Polynucleotides, which are DNA fragments derived from salmon. These Polynucleotides promote skin regeneration, improve elasticity, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles when injected into the skin. Rejuran injections are often used as part of anti-ageing and skin rejuvenation procedures, especially for additional collagen stimulation in the upper layers of the skin.

FAQs Rejuran

Polynucleotides are long chains of amino acids that are naturally found in your body. They are expressed in the skin where they play important roles in skin health. Injections are designed to provide cellular remodelling addressing 

• Collagen stimulation
•  Slowing down the aging process
• Treatment of lines, wrinkles, pores & textural changes
•  Hydration of skin
• Reduction of acne scars

Due to the natural ageing process, Rejuran results are not permanent. Results can vary from person to person, and factors such as individual skin characteristics, lifestyle, and the specific concerns being addressed can influence the longevity of the effects.

The collagen stimulation initiated by Rejuran tends to have a gradual and cumulative effect, with results becoming noticeable after a series of sessions.

Depending on the patient’s age, skin quality, and general health, a course of 3 treatments 2 to 3 weeks apart may be recommended. This is followed by a treatment every 6-12 months to maintain skin condition through continued collagen stimulation.

Most patients will benefit from 2-4 Rejuran sessions 3 to 6 weeks apart. If you have significant skin concerns such as deep wrinkles, sun damage & skin laxity a fourth treatment may be beneficial. 

1-2 sessions are required every year to top up your collagen levels, via continued stimulation of fibroblasts (collagen producing cells).

Each treatment session takes between 10 to 15 minutes to perform. We use numbing gel for 30 minutes prior to Rejuran injections as this markedly reduces discomfort. 

Rejuran, bio-remodelling, and bio-stimulators are all intended to stimulate collagen, but they differ in composition, mechanisms of action, and intended outcomes.

Rejuran

  • Composition: Rejuran is composed of Polynucleotides, which are DNA fragments sourced from salmon DNA. These Polynucleotides stimulate collagen production and promote skin rejuvenation.
  • Mechanism of action: Rejuran works by activating the skin’s natural regenerative processes within the upper layers of the skin, leading to increased collagen and elastin production.
  • Intended outcome: Rejuran is primarily used for skin rejuvenation, addressing fine lines, wrinkles, and skin texture.

Bio-remodelling

  • Composition: Bio-remodelling is unique, containing both high and low molecular weight of their active hydrating ingredient. This is known as the hybrid complex.
  • Mechanism of action: Bio-remodelling diffuses within the skin, hydrating and stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, aiming to provide overall skin hydration.
  • Intended outcome: Bio-remodelling is often used for skin laxity where hydration is required.

Bio-stimulators

  • Composition: Bio-stimulators are composed of a biodegradable, biocompatible polymer which is TGA approved for skin creases, wrinkles and skin ageing.
  • Mechanism of action: Bio-stimulators work by stimulating the growth of collagen in the deep layers of the skin, providing a gradual increase in volume and skin firmness.
  • Intended outcome: Bio-stimulators are typically used when, in addition to collagen production, it is recommended to restore some volume in areas that have experienced age-related volume loss.

Key differences

  • Intended use: Whilst they all stimulate collagen, Rejuran is often used for skin rejuvenation, bio-remodelling for overall skin improvement and hydration, and bio-stimulators for restoring volume in specific areas.
  • Composition: Rejuran contains Polynucleotides, bio-remodelling is based on a hydrating hybrid complex, and bio-stimulators are made from a biodegradable, biocompatible polymer.
  • Mechanism of action: Rejuran and bio-remodelling both focus on stimulating collagen and elastin, while bio-stimulators are collagen stimulators that also provide a gradual volumising effect.
