Introduction

After undergoing any form of surgery—whether cosmetic, reconstructive, or regenerative—your skin needs time and care to heal. At Yujin Plastic Surgery & Dermatology & Stem Cell Research Center, we understand that post-surgical recovery is just as crucial as the procedure itself. One of the treatments we often recommend for enhancing recovery and improving skin health is Rejuran, a cutting-edge injectable skin treatment. But what exactly is Rejuran, and how can it play a pivotal role in boosting your skin’s health after surgery? Let's dive into the science behind it, how it works, and why it’s so effective.

What is Rejuran?

Rejuran is a type of polynucleotide (PN) injection, a product derived from salmon DNA. It may sound unusual, but salmon DNA has been shown to have regenerative properties that can significantly benefit human skin. This unique treatment is popular for its ability to stimulate collagen production, repair skin damage, and improve overall skin texture.
The primary ingredient in Rejuran, polynucleotides, helps to repair DNA and tissues at a cellular level. It is particularly effective for rejuvenating the skin after procedures like facelifts, liposuction, fat grafting, or any surgery that causes inflammation and stress to the skin.

Why Rejuran Works So Well After Surgery

When you undergo surgery, your skin is often exposed to trauma—whether through incisions, sutures, or deep tissue manipulation. Even the most meticulously performed procedures involve some degree of injury to the skin, which takes time to heal. This healing process can lead to a range of challenges, such as:

  • Post-inflammatory pigmentation (dark spots)
  • Scarring
  • Skin laxity
  • Decreased skin hydration and vitality

Rejuran addresses all of these concerns, and here’s how:

1. Collagen Stimulation

After surgery, your skin’s natural collagen production may be temporarily disrupted. Collagen is the building block of skin, responsible for its strength, elasticity, and overall structure. Rejuran works by stimulating fibroblasts (the cells responsible for collagen production) to regenerate new, healthy collagen. This helps the skin heal faster, preventing the formation of uneven scars and promoting a smoother, firmer texture.

2. Accelerated Healing

One of the most remarkable benefits of Rejuran is its ability to enhance tissue regeneration. The polynucleotides in Rejuran have been shown to reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair at the cellular level. This means your skin can recover more quickly after surgery, with less downtime and minimal risk of complications such as prolonged swelling or redness.

3. Hydration and Skin Vitality

Healing skin tends to become dehydrated, leaving it looking dull and lackluster. Rejuran restores moisture balance to the skin by increasing hydration at a deep cellular level. This results in a more radiant, plump appearance post-surgery, which is vital when your skin is in the process of recovering and needs all the nourishment it can get.

4. Scar Prevention and Healing

Perhaps one of the most valued benefits of Rejuran after surgery is its ability to reduce scar formation. The regenerative effects of polynucleotides help to normalize the skin’s healing process, preventing the formation of thick, raised scars (hypertrophic scars) or discolored marks (hyperpigmentation). Rejuran essentially guides the skin to heal in a smoother, more natural way, ensuring that scars are less noticeable and blend more seamlessly with the surrounding tissue.

How Rejuran is Administered

Rejuran is injected directly into the skin, typically in the treated areas where healing is most needed. For patients who have had surgery, this might include areas around the incision sites, the cheeks, jawline, or any region that requires rejuvenation. The treatment is relatively quick and minimally invasive, with little to no downtime involved.

The procedure involves a series of tiny injections that deliver the polynucleotides directly into the dermis (the skin layer beneath the surface). Some patients report slight discomfort during the injection process, but it’s generally well-tolerated, and numbing agents are often applied beforehand to minimize any discomfort.

For the best results, multiple sessions of Rejuran are typically recommended, spaced several weeks apart. Depending on the area being treated and the level of recovery needed, a series of 2 to 3 sessions may be ideal.

Real Results: What Patients Can Expect

When performed correctly by experienced professionals like Dr. Tae-jo Kang at Yujin Plastic Surgery, Rejuran can lead to significant improvements in both the aesthetic and health of your skin after surgery. Patients often experience:

  • A smoother, more even skin tone
  • Reduced scars and discoloration
  • A youthful glow as the skin regains its natural vitality
  • Increased firmness and elasticity in the treated areas
  • A quicker recovery and enhanced healing from surgery

Rejuran in Combination with Other Treatments

While Rejuran is an excellent standalone treatment for post-surgical skin recovery, it can also be combined with other procedures for enhanced results. For example, after fat grafting or liposuction, Rejuran can help rejuvenate the skin by promoting healing and improving the appearance of any areas where the skin may feel thinner or less youthful.
Similarly, if you’ve undergone breast surgery or facial surgery, Rejuran can address any residual skin concerns such as sagging, uneven skin texture, or pigmentation issues, complementing the aesthetic improvements you’ve already achieved through surgery.

When to Consider Rejuran After Surgery

You may be wondering when to incorporate Rejuran into your recovery process. Typically, it’s best to wait until the initial stages of your recovery are complete—this is often around 2 to 4 weeks post-surgery, depending on the procedure. At this stage, your skin has healed enough to benefit from Rejuran’s regenerative effects without compromising the healing process.
