Rejuran™ is a novel product brand new to Australia. It is a fundamental change in skin quality treatments. Although new to the Australian aesthetic industry, overseas Rejuran has gained extensive usage since 2015, with over 10 million syringes used so far in over 30 countries. This novel injectable treatment stimulates skin rejuvenation using polynucleotides, leading to firmer and tighter skin. By stimulating collagen growth, we can decrease the amount of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) based dermal fillers needed and avoid that dreaded overfilled look. In short, the aesthetic space is moving away from filling the skin with HA based fillers and more towards stimulating collagen in the skin by using injectable products to re-volumise and remodel the skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
What to expect?
The clinician uses a fine needle to perform Rejuran™ treatments, which takes between 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on the area/s to be treated, and patients tolerate them well. There a lot of small and precise injection points into the skin. We use a strong topical anesthetic cream prior to treatments.
What is the downtime?
There is downtime with Polynucleotide treatments. The area looks can look lumpy and bumpy (almost reptilian like), and this persists for up to 24 hours. Swelling and bruising, lasting up to 1 week, are common side effects of the treatment. After undergoing a Rejuran™ treatment, if there are other symptoms, such as redness, tenderness, or pain, this may indicate a possible severe allergic reaction or infection. If patients notice these symptoms, they should contact our clinic immediately.

Sounds great. Where do I start?
Before undergoing a treatment, you must register at our Shellharbour clinic for an initial consultation with our qualified clinical team. During your consultation, you will discuss your lifestyle and health, including medical history, allergies, and any medications or supplements you may be taking. It is important to mention any allergic reactions to drugs or skin care products you may have experienced in the past and any other recent beauty treatments you’ve had. These factors affect how your body responds and how the treatment recovers.
If you have any concerns, a consultation is when you ask questions about your treatment. Your clinician will ask about your current problems and reasons for wanting a cosmetic procedure and evaluate the treatment area. You should discuss what you hope to achieve with the treatment and your aesthetic goals. All the information you provide during the consultation is essential to developing a customised treatment plan that considers your health, concerns and expected outcomes to achieve the best possible result.
If you have a question, get in touch and one of our staff will be in touch shortly.
