Rejuran in Korea: Healer, HB Plus or Eye? (2026)
By Dr. IM JUNHYUNG · Updated
- Healer is the standard version; HB Plus adds hyaluronic acid and a local anaesthetic; the eye version is made for thin skin around the eyes.
- A course is usually three sessions, two to four weeks apart.
- Small bumps are normal for a day or two; most people go out the same day with make-up the next.
- If your trip is short, one session still helps — the rest can follow on your next visit.
- Session
- 20–30 min
- Discomfort
- 3 / 5 — after numbing
- Bumps
- 1–2 days — small, then flatten
- Course
- 3 sessions — 2–4 weeks apart
What Rejuran is — and isn’t
Polynucleotides are building blocks of DNA. In Rejuran they are purified from salmon and placed in the dermis, where they are thought to support repair and a healthier environment for collagen. The effect is better skin quality — smoother texture, finer pores, fewer fine lines, a more even surface — built up over weeks.
It is not a filler, so it will not lift cheeks or fill folds, and it is not a quick glow that fades in days. Think of it as a course for the skin itself.
Healer, HB Plus or eye?
| Version | What differs | Often chosen for |
|---|---|---|
| Rejuran Healer | The standard PN formula | Overall texture, fine lines, firmness |
| Rejuran HB Plus | Adds hyaluronic acid and a local anaesthetic | Dry, dull skin; people sensitive to injections |
| Eye (thin-skin version) | Formulated for the eye area | Crepey under-eyes, fine lines around the eyes |
We choose by area and skin rather than by name. Many plans use Healer for the face and the eye version under the eyes in the same session.
How many sessions?
Most people do three sessions two to four weeks apart, then maintain every few months. Skin keeps improving for a few weeks after each session, so the full effect of a course is clearest about a month after the last one.
If you are visiting Seoul once, one session is still worthwhile. Your record card notes the product and amount, so the next session — here or at home — can follow on.
What the session feels like
Numbing cream goes on for about 30 minutes. The injections themselves are many small droplets; we rate it 3 out of 5 after numbing. An injector device can speed things up and spread droplets more evenly. Afterwards you will see small raised bumps where the product sits; they flatten over a day or two.
Aftercare
Avoid make-up on the day if you can, and skip saunas, alcohol and hard exercise for a day or two. Small bruises can occur and fade within a week. Don’t combine with a strong peel or laser on the same day unless we plan it that way. We postpone in pregnancy, with a fish allergy, or with active infection in the area.
FAQ
Is Rejuran painful?
It stings briefly with each droplet. After numbing cream we rate it 3 out of 5. HB Plus contains a local anaesthetic and usually feels gentler.
How long do the bumps last?
Usually a day or two. Small bruises, if any, fade within a week.
How many Rejuran sessions do I need?
Usually three, two to four weeks apart, then maintenance every few months.
Can I fly after Rejuran?
Yes, usually the next day. Bumps may still be visible for a day.
