Rejuran salmon DNA injections
Rejuran is an injectable skin rejuvenation treatment that has been widely used in Asia, particularly South Korea, and is now available in Australia. It is commonly referred to as “salmon DNA injections” due to the way its key ingredients are sourced.
Rejuran is classified as a biostimulator, meaning it works by supporting the skin’s own natural regenerative processes rather than adding volume. It helps stimulate fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin, which play an important role in maintaining skin structure, elasticity, and hydration.
This process may help improve overall skin quality, including hydration, texture, and firmness. Rejuran is often discussed for concerns such as fine lines, uneven texture, enlarged pores, and scarring, including acne scarring. Individual results vary and depend on skin condition and personal factors.
What Is Rejuran?
Rejuran is formulated using polynucleotides, specifically a complex known as PDRN, which is derived from purified salmon DNA. Polynucleotides are naturally occurring molecules found in the skin and are involved in cellular repair and skin remodelling.
Salmon is used as the source because it contains a high concentration of nucleic acids. Through a specialised purification and processing method, long DNA strands are extracted and broken down into shorter, highly refined polynucleotide complexes. The final product does not contain sperm cells or intact DNA, only processed polynucleotides.
When used in injectable form, these polynucleotides are intended to support skin cell renewal and collagen production. Because of its focus on skin regeneration and quality, Rejuran is sometimes referred to as a “skin rejuvenation” or “skin repair” treatment.
Suitability for Rejuran and expected outcomes are discussed during a consultation with a qualified medical practitioner.
