Rejuran, honestly: "it hurts", "you need several", "results vary"
In late June 2024, a "Has anyone had Rejuran?" thread went up on Girls Channel, a large Japanese women's forum. The poster wanted to hear from people who had actually had it, and the thread passed 60 comments.
What the replies said
- To "is there really such a magic product?" and "is the ingredient safe?", some replied that it comes from salmon
- A popular point: rather than just-after vs 24-hours-later photos, show before vs one month later
- One heard from a Korean friend that you need repeated sessions and the effect does not last forever
- It hurts a lot; one found machine injection bearable but hand injection painful enough to cry
- Someone who had two sessions barely noticed a difference and said doing it properly means repeating every few months
- Others warned not to take phrases like "activating your cells" at face value
Experiences mostly boiled down to "painful, with results that vary", and the overall mood was cautious.
Desk note Rejuran is an injectable made by Korea's PharmaResearch. It uses polynucleotides (PN), purified DNA fragments derived from wild salmon, and is described as a skin booster that supports regeneration rather than a filler that adds shape. Results and the number of sessions vary, so decide with a doctor after hearing the risks too.
If you have had Rejuran or a similar skin booster, after which session did you notice a change?

If you are getting an injectable like Rejuran abroad, a few questions are worth asking before you book: the exact product name, who will inject it, how the area is numbed, and how many sessions at what interval are expected. Afterwards, ask for the product name and what was done in writing. If anything comes up back home, that record is what another clinic will need.
