Healthy, radiant skin starts with the quality of the skin itself. But as we get older, the skin gradually loses firmness and elasticity, and natural repair processes become less efficient. Rejuran is a treatment with polynucleotides that aims to support these processes. But what exactly are polynucleotides, and what can they do for your skin?
What is Rejuran?
Rejuran is an injectable skin-improving treatment based on polynucleotides, also known as PN.
Polynucleotides are purified DNA fragments which, in the case of Rejuran, are derived from salmonids. They are applied to the skin with small injections.
In aesthetic medicine, polynucleotides are used to support the skin's natural repair processes. The aim is skin that gradually looks smoother, firmer and fresher, without adding extra volume.
What do polynucleotides do in the skin?
Our skin is constantly repairing and renewing itself. Fibroblasts play an important role in this: cells involved in producing and maintaining collagen and other components of the skin.
As we get older, these processes become less efficient. External influences, such as UV radiation, can also affect the skin's natural ability to repair itself.
Polynucleotides are being studied for their possible supporting effect on skin repair and tissue quality. Early clinical studies show promising results in terms of skin texture, hydration and elasticity.
What is the difference between Rejuran and a skin booster?
Rejuran is often mentioned in the same breath as skin boosters. Yet they differ in composition and effect.
Classic hyaluronic acid skin boosters focus mainly on hydration and suppleness. Hyaluronic acid attracts moisture and retains it.
Rejuran contains polynucleotides, which are used to support the skin's natural repair processes.
Both treatments aim to improve the skin, but they do so in a different way.
Which skin concerns is Rejuran suitable for?
Rejuran may be of interest for:
- fine lines and early signs of skin ageing
- loss of firmness and elasticity
- an uneven skin texture
- a dry or dull appearance
- fine lines around the eyes, depending on the product variant used
Especially when you want to improve skin quality without adding extra facial volume, a treatment with polynucleotides can be an option.
Rejuran for the skin around the eyes
The skin around our eyes is thin and delicate. As a result, fine lines and changes in skin texture can become visible relatively quickly.
Specific polynucleotide treatments exist for this area, including Rejuran I. These focus on improving skin quality without filling the area as a traditional filler does.
However, not every tired look has the same cause. That is why a careful assessment beforehand is important.
What does a Rejuran treatment involve?
During the treatment, small amounts of Rejuran are applied to the skin with fine injections. For extra comfort, a numbing cream can be used beforehand.
Afterwards, small bumps, redness, swelling or bruising may occur. These reactions usually fade gradually.
Because skin improvement takes time, Rejuran is often applied as a course of two or three treatments.
When will you see results?
Rejuran is aimed at gradual skin improvement. Some people notice over time that their skin feels smoother or looks fresher. Changes in skin texture and fine lines may take longer.
Results vary from person to person and depend on factors such as skin condition, age and the treatment programme.
