What it is
Injections of polynucleotides (PN), DNA-derived molecules, placed into the skin with many small injections. A 2024 review describes REJURAN as a prominent PN product in Asia. Studies report improvements in fine wrinkles, texture and elasticity, but a 2025 systematic review found only nine studies, of low-to-moderate quality.
Who it’s for
Adults who want to improve skin texture, fine lines or skin quality and accept a series of injections with gradual, modest change.
How it’s done
The face is cleansed and numbed. PN is injected in small amounts across the treatment area with a fine needle, and the skin is cleaned.
Why we don’t list a price
- We only show prices we can check in official public statistics, and we couldn’t find one for this treatment.
- Prices vary widely by clinic, area treated, product and amount.
- At the consultation, get the total price, the product and amount (mL or units) and the number of sessions in writing.
Recovery
Redness and swelling often last a few hours. Small bumps at the injection points are common at first and are usually temporary. Bruising is possible.
Risks and side effects
- Pain, redness and swelling at injection points
- Bruising and visible needle marks
- Small temporary bumps under the skin
- Rare: foreign-body granulomas (persistent lumps) or post-inflammatory darkening

Questions people ask
Is Rejuran a filler?
Not in the usual sense. It is grouped with skin boosters, which aim to improve skin quality (texture, hydration, elasticity) rather than add volume.
How long do results last?
A European consensus cited in a 2024 review reported effects lasting about 6–12 months after a course of three sessions. Individual results vary.
How strong is the evidence?
Limited. A 2025 systematic review found nine studies with 219 patients, of low-to-moderate quality. Side effects were generally mild and temporary, but larger, higher-quality studies are still needed.
