Is Rejuran really that painful? A doctor explains the concerns and countermeasures you should know before treatment
With deep medical insight cultivated as an internal medicine specialist, I bridge aesthetic surgery, dermatology, and internal medicine. Having spent my childhood in China, I communicate fluently in Japanese, Chinese, English, and Korean. Possessing an international perspective—evidenced by invitations to present at overseas conferences—I actively promote techniques as a Key Opinion Leader (KOL) for GOURI and REJURAN®. My specialty procedures include double eyelid surgery, skin-nurturing boosters, and body hyaluronic acid treatments. My approach leverages the holistic understanding of the body cultivated through internal medicine to guide patients toward natural, healthy beauty.

Why is Rejuran said to be "very painful"?
Hello.
I am Senki Akashi of Bianca Clinic.
When it comes to Rejuran, many people probably have the impression that it's "quite painful."
While pain perception varies from person to person, this article explains the characteristics of Rejuran and the reasons why you might feel pain during Rejuran injections.
What kind of skin booster is Rejuran?
Rejuran contains the active ingredient Polynucleotide (PN) One of the skin booster formulations primarily composed of [main ingredient].
PN is also known as the "salmon injection" because it is made from salmon-derived components. Generic versions like "Lizne" and the German-made "Pullreal Densify," which uses high-purity PN, are also part of this category.
Actually, the history of PN preparations is quite long,It has been used for diabetic foot gangrene since the 1950s.It's a time-honored formulation that has been used in clinical settings long before it found its way into the aesthetic medicine field.
Next, regarding the mechanism of action.
Rejuran improves blood flow to create an environment where nutrients can easily reach the skin.
It also suppresses inflammation and activates cells that produce growth factors and collagen, boosting overall skin regeneration! It energizes collagen-producing cells (fibroblasts) to help restore skin firmness and elasticity.
As a result, the following effects can be expected.
-
Restore firmness and elasticity to thinning skin
-
Improvement of fine lines
-
Enhance skin texture from the foundation up
Treatment guidelines Three times per month. After that, we recommend maintenance every six months.

Especially completing the first course (approximately 3 sessions) thoroughly is key to maximizing Rejuran's potential.
The situation where "it hurts too much to continue"What a waste!
Therefore, at Bianca Clinic,We carefully select needle thickness and injection methods to minimize discomfort.。
