Every treatment is unique — some involve minimal downtime, while others may require more preparation or recovery. That’s why we strongly encourage you to take a moment to read through the relevant information below. Understanding what to expect before and after your appointment is key to achieving safe, beautiful, and long-lasting results.

Rejuran is a regenerative skin treatment using polynucleotide (PN) technology to stimulate collagen, repair skin structure, and restore youthful elasticity. It improves texture, fine lines, hydration, and overall skin health by enhancing the skin’s natural healing process from within. As with all injectable treatments, following correct pre- and post-care is essential for safety, comfort, and optimal results.
Pre-Treatment Care (3–7 Days Prior)
To prepare for your Rejuran treatment:
Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements such as aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E, and alcoholfor 3–5 days before your appointment (unless medically necessary – consult your doctor first).
Discontinue the use of active skincare products (e.g. retinol, AHAs/BHAs, vitamin C) for 3–5 days prior.
Avoid laser, peels, microneedling, and other in-clinic treatments for at least 2 weeks before Rejuran.
Do not schedule your treatment within 7 days of a major event — mild swelling or bruising may occur.
If prone to cold sores and the treatment area includes the lips or perioral region, a prophylactic antiviral may be recommended.
Stay well hydrated and ensure you are in good health leading into your appointment.
Post-Treatment Care
Following Rejuran, you may experience small injection site bumps (resembling mosquito bites), mild redness, and occasional bruising or tenderness. These are normal and typically subside within 24–72 hours.
To care for your skin post-treatment:
Do not massage or manipulate the treated area for at least 24 hours.
Avoid makeup for 24 hours, or until any visible swelling/redness has resolved.
Refrain from exercise, saunas, hot showers, and heat exposure for 24–48 hours post-treatment.
Avoid alcohol and anti-inflammatory medications for 24 hours to minimise the risk of bruising.
Use only gentle, hydrating skincare and avoid active ingredients (retinol, AHAs/BHAs, exfoliants) for 5–7 days.
Avoid direct sun exposure and wear broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily to protect the skin.
Do not schedule any laser, microneedling, or cosmetic treatments for 2 weeks post-injection, unless advised otherwise.
Avoid touching or applying pressure to the face unnecessarily for the first 24 hours.
What to Expect
Visible bumps from injection sites usually settle within 24–48 hours.
Bruising, if present, can last up to 5–7 days and is generally mild.
Results begin to appear within 2–4 weeks, with continued improvement over 6–12 weeks as collagen production is stimulated.
A series of 3–4 treatments spaced 3–4 weeks apart is typically recommended for optimal results.
If you experience unexpected swelling, pain, or signs of infection, please contact the clinic immediately.
