How we approach it
The same device can be run very differently. This is how Grays approaches this treatment.
We keep to an optimised hydration ratio and resting period in order to hold back excessive inflammation and encourage an appropriate amount of collagen formation.
For that reason same-day treatment is not possible. Please book at least 5 days ahead (Ultracol) or a week ahead (Juvelook Volume).

02What to expect
Changes over time
PN supports repair of the damaged dermis, leading to overall improvement in skin thickness, firmness, and texture.
01Right after treatment
Small bumps and needle marks at the injection sites are possible and usually settle within 1–3 days.
022–4 weeks
This is when we check the first response. The next session is given in this window.
03After 3–4 sessions
As sessions accumulate, many people notice changes in skin texture, hydration and firmness. This varies by individual.
04Maintenance
Once the course is complete, care moves to maintenance every 3–6 months.

07FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is Rejuran made of, and how does it work?
Rejuran is an injectable treatment that uses PN (polynucleotide) derived from salmon to restore the skin's regenerative environment. PN supports recovery of the damaged dermis, resulting in overall improvement in skin thickness, firmness, and texture. We use PharmaResearch's MFDS (Korean FDA)-approved formulation.
Who is Rejuran suited to? Can it fill hollow areas?
We consider it for those whose skin has become thinner and dull, those concerned about fine lines around the eyes and inner dryness, or those who want to support recovery after laser or lifting treatments. However, Rejuran does not add volume, so if hollowness is your main concern we will recommend a different treatment. We assess skin thickness, dryness, and fine lines at consultation and then recommend the right approach.
I'm worried about pain. What is Rejuran HB?
Rejuran has a noticeable injection sensation, so we describe the pain as moderate and manage it with topical numbing cream before treatment. Rejuran HB is a formulation that adds hyaluronic acid to PN to soften the injection sensation, and we recommend it for those sensitive to pain. We decide together at consultation which of the two to use, and the treatment takes about 20-30 minutes.
How long do the injection marks last?
Raised bumps and slight swelling may appear right after injection, and they typically settle within 1-3 days. If you have an important event such as a wedding or presentation, we recommend allowing at least 3-4 days after treatment. How quickly they settle can vary by individual.
When will I notice results, and how long do they last?
Because Rejuran restores the skin's foundation, many people notice changes in texture and firmness as sessions accumulate rather than after 1 session. We usually check the first response at around 2-4 weeks before proceeding to the next session. Results last several months after completing the course, with individual variation.
How often should I have it?
For the first course, we recommend 3-4 sessions at 3-4 week intervals. After the course, we suggest maintenance every 3-6 months. Actual intervals and the number of sessions are adjusted based on how your skin responds.
How is it different from Juvelook or SkinVive?
Rejuran focuses on regenerating a damaged skin foundation, Juvelook on texture improvement and volume restoration through collagen production, and SkinVive on replenishing hydration and radiance with hyaluronic acid. All are called skin boosters, but their goals differ, so depending on your concern we choose one or plan them together. We recommend the right combination after consultation.
Can I have it together with lifting or laser treatments?
Rejuran is often planned alongside laser or lifting treatments to support recovery, and it is also combined with Thermage, Juvelook, SkinVive, and others. Whether to do them on the same day, or in sequence with intervals, is decided after consultation based on your skin condition. If you have had any treatments recently, please let us know in advance.
Are there cases where I should not have Rejuran?
If you have ever had a hypersensitivity reaction to ingredients derived from salmon or other fish, be sure to tell us at your visit. We also carefully assess whether to proceed if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, taking anticoagulants, or have inflammation or infection at the injection site. Swelling and marks are common after treatment, but please contact us right away if pain worsens or anything seems different from what you expected.
How should I care for my skin after treatment?
For the first 24 hours, do not rub or press the injection sites, and avoid alcohol, strenuous exercise, and saunas on the day of treatment. Consistently using a regenerative cream and sun protection helps recovery. We recommend waiting 2 weeks before massage or intensive skin treatments.
How much does it cost, and how do I book?
The cost depends on the product, volume, and number of sessions, and is confirmed after consultation. Reference prices can be found on the price list on our website. To book at Grays Dermatology in Haeundae, Busan, use Naver Booking, our KakaoTalk channel, or call +82-51-710-1891; consultations are also available via LINE.

Aftercare
Draft — pending medical director's reviewSkin boosters · regenerative injections
Needle marks and slight swelling last a day or two. Treatment is usually given in several sessions, so keeping to the interval matters more than the recovery itself.
Recovery course
- Day of treatmentInjection marks, swelling or bruising may be visible. We recommend skipping makeup that day.
- Days 2–3Swelling settles. Bruising can last up to a week for some people.
- Week 1Changes in skin texture start to show. You can return to your usual routine.
- Between sessionsTypically 3–5 sessions at 2–4 week intervals, depending on the product and skin condition.
Avoid during this period
- Sauna, hot baths, strenuous exercise and alcohol — for 2 days after treatment
- Long periods in swimming pools or public baths on the day of treatment
Contact the clinic if
- The injection area becomes increasingly firm and red
- Pain worsens together with warmth
- Bruising lasts longer than 2 weeks
