How long does Rejuran last, and how many days until the bumps subside?
Rejuran is usually expected to last several months after building up skin changes with 3 sessions at 3 to 4 week intervals, after which maintenance treatments continue depending on your skin condition. Most of the bumpy embossing that appears right after injection subsides within 1 to 3 days.
Why does how long Rejuran lasts differ from person to person?
Rejuran is a skin booster that delivers PN (polynucleotide), an ingredient derived from salmon, into the dermis to support an environment in which the skin recovers on its own. Because the injected ingredient doesn't fill volume directly and skin texture and elasticity change over several weeks, whether you completed the sessions and your skin's original condition affect how long Rejuran lasts.
With dry, thin skin, frequent sun exposure or smoking, or if you received only one session without completing the course, the changes may feel short-lived. Conversely, keeping up moisturizing and sun protection after completing 3 sessions may help you feel the changes for longer.
Rejuran bumps: how long they last and how to care for them
Because Rejuran injects a viscous ingredient into the shallow layers of the skin in many divided doses, small raised marks form at each injection site. Most of these bumps and injection marks subside naturally within 1 to 3 days, and bruising or swelling eases within 1 to 2 weeks depending on your skin condition.
Rubbing or massaging hard to make the bumps go down faster can increase bruising and swelling, so avoid it. For 3 to 7 days after treatment, avoid heavy drinking, smoking, saunas and jjimjilbang, hot baths, and vigorous exercise, and keep up moisturizing and sun protection.
When to schedule the next treatment based on how long Rejuran lasts
At our Suwon clinic, Rejuran Healer is typically given in 3 sessions at 3 to 4 week intervals, after which we recommend continuing maintenance treatments depending on your skin condition.
After completing 3 sessions, we discuss maintenance treatment when you feel your skin becoming dry and rough again, and the interval varies with your skin condition and living environment. If an injection site becomes red and swollen with increasing warmth and pain, please contact the clinic, and if you are allergic to salmon or fish, please let us know before treatment.

FAQ
Q. If I get Rejuran only once, will it last a shorter time?
A. Rejuran works by building up skin changes over sessions, so with only one session, the extent and duration of the changes you feel may be smaller. It is usually based on 3 sessions at 3 to 4 week intervals, and after that, maintenance treatment is decided based on your skin condition.
Q. Can I wear makeup while I have Rejuran bumps?
A. You can wash your face and wear makeup from 2 to 3 hours after treatment. Apply makeup lightly without tapping or rubbing the bumps, and while they subside over 1 to 3 days, it is best to avoid harsh exfoliating products.
Q. What can I do to make Rejuran last longer?
A. The basics are completing the recommended number of sessions and keeping up moisturizing and sun protection after treatment. Smoking, frequent drinking, and lack of sleep slow skin recovery, so cutting back on them may help sustain the changes from Rejuran.
