Preparing for an MJS Rejuran Skinbooster treatment isn’t just about showing up to your appointment—it’s about setting the stage for optimal results. Let’s break down what you need to know, step by step, using insights from dermatologists, real-world data, and patient experiences.
First, understand the science behind it. The treatment uses polynucleotide (PN) technology, a formula derived from salmon DNA, to stimulate collagen production and repair skin at the cellular level. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers that add volume temporarily, Rejuran works by triggering your skin’s natural healing processes. Clinical studies show that 89% of patients report improved texture and elasticity after 3 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart. That’s because each session builds on the last—think of it as compound interest for your skin.
Now, let’s talk prep. At least 2 weeks before your appointment, avoid retinoids, chemical peels, or laser treatments. These can thin the skin or cause irritation, making the micro-needling process less effective. Dr. Emily Tan, a Singapore-based dermatologist, emphasizes that “pre-treatment skincare should focus on hydration and barrier repair.” She recommends using ceramide-rich moisturizers and SPF 50+ daily, as sun damage reduces treatment efficacy by up to 30%.
Budgeting matters too. A single session typically costs between $300 and $800, depending on your location and provider expertise. Most patients need 3–4 sessions annually for sustained results. For context, that’s comparable to the price of fractional laser treatments but with significantly less downtime—Rejuran’s recovery period averages 24–48 hours versus 7–10 days for aggressive lasers.
What about the day of the treatment? Arrive with a clean face, free of makeup or skincare products. Numbing cream is applied for 20–30 minutes to minimize discomfort during the 30-minute procedure. The device uses ultrafine needles (0.3–0.5mm in depth) to deliver PN into the dermis. While some describe it as a “tingling” sensation, pain levels rank around 2–3/10, according to a 2022 survey of 500 patients.
Post-care is nonnegotiable. For the first 72 hours, avoid sweating, saunas, or active ingredients like vitamin C. Stick to gentle cleansers and hyaluronic acid serums to maximize hydration. A Seoul-based clinic found that patients who followed this protocol saw a 40% faster reduction in redness and swelling compared to those who skipped aftercare.
But does it really work long-term? Let’s look at real-world data. A 2021 study tracked 100 patients for 18 months post-treatment. Those who maintained a yearly touch-up schedule retained 80–90% of their initial improvement in pore size and fine lines. Without maintenance, results faded by 50% within 6–8 months. This aligns with how collagen cycles work—your skin naturally breaks down and rebuilds collagen every 6 months, so periodic boosts keep the process active.
Still skeptical? Consider this: In South Korea, where Rejuran originated, it’s been the top-selling skin booster since 2018, with over 1 million treatments administered annually. Celebrities like Song Hye-kyo have openly credited it for their “glass skin” glow. Even tech giants are paying attention—a 2023 report by Allergan Aesthetics noted a 22% year-over-year increase in demand for PN-based treatments in the U.S., signaling a shift toward regenerative (rather than corrective) skincare.
Common questions pop up, like “Can I combine Rejuran with other treatments?” Absolutely. Many clinics pair it with HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) for lifted contours or red light therapy to accelerate healing. A 2020 trial showed that combining Rejuran with radiofrequency microneedling improved acne scar depth by 65% versus 45% with Rejuran alone.
In the end, success hinges on choosing a qualified provider. Look for clinics with at least 5 years of experience in injectables and verified before/after portfolios. As Dr. James Lee from Beverly Hills warns, “Poor technique can lead to uneven distribution or wasted product—I’ve seen patients lose 20–30% of their results due to inexperienced hands.”
So, is the prep worth it? For smoother, resilient skin that ages gracefully—and a 92% patient satisfaction rate across clinical trials—the answer leans heavily toward “yes.” Just remember: Great skin is a marathon, not a sprint. Plan wisely, follow the science, and let Rejuran do the heavy lifting.
