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.

What to get 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.
