Hello. I’m Dr. Park Tae-oh of Relieve Clinic.
These days, as skin becomes drier and more sensitive, many people consider Rejuran Healer as a procedure for skin regeneration.
But the question I hear most often during consultations is this:
“People say the results are good... but isn’t it really painful?”
In fact, Apgujeong Rejuran Healer is generally highly rated for its results,
but many people hesitate because of the pain felt during the procedure.
If you read this article to the end, you’ll understand not only the effects of Rejuran,
but also practical ways to address Rejuran pain.
Apgujeong Rejuran Healer,
If you’re worried about the pain, read this first

Why is Rejuran Healer said to be painful?
One of the biggest reasons people hesitate to undergo Rejuran Healer is the many reviews saying it is “painful.”
If you search online, it’s not uncommon to find comments like “It stung” or “I cried because it hurt.”
Why is that? The reason lies in Rejuran’s mechanism of action.
Unlike ordinary skin hydration injections,
Rejuran Healer works by injecting a high concentration of PN (polynucleotide) into the dermis in small amounts across many areas.
① Injection into a deeper layer
Rejuran must act quickly and accurately in the dermis, not just on the surface of the skin, for its regenerative effects to appear properly.
However, this layer has a rich nerve distribution, so as the needle enters and stimulates nerve endings, it can feel more sensitive.
Dermis means the dermal layer :)
② The physical properties of a highly viscous drug
PN, the key ingredient in Rejuran, is highly viscous and dense.
In other words, even if the amount is the same, rather than spreading easily within the skin, it tends to feel like it is being pushed in with pressure.
This leads to distension pain (pain due to tissue distention), which is one of the main causes of discomfort.
③ Repeated injections over a wide area
Because the procedure requires 50 to more than 100 needle insertions across multiple areas such as around the eyes, nasolabial folds, the forehead, and the jawline,
psychological tension is added, and many people end up perceiving the pain as stronger.
However, the most important fact here is that
the level of pain felt from the same procedure varies greatly from person to person.
Factors such as skin thickness, sensitivity, pain threshold, tension, and past procedure experience all affect pain perception, so it is difficult to simply generalize by saying, “Rejuran is painful.”

Rejuran pain cannot be solved with simple anesthesia alone
Pain in skin procedures is not controlled simply with numbing cream.
Various factors such as the patient’s skin thickness, sensitivity, susceptibility to pain, and whether they have prior procedure experience all work together.
That is why a personalized approach, not a one-size-fits-all method, is absolutely necessary.
For reference, I always follow the three principles below before a procedure:
- Through careful pre-procedure consultation, I assess the skin condition and pain sensitivity.
- The anesthesia method and drug injection approach are adjusted for each individual patient.
- The ingredient composition, injection depth, and injection method of the Rejuran used in the procedure are also individually set.
(There is a limit to what can be explained in writing alone, and decisions made by directly examining the skin matter even more.)
These principles may seem simple on the surface,
but within them are many variables, including drug diffusion speed according to skin resistance, syringe pressure, adjustment of physical properties, and avoidance of pain-triggering points.
If pain is a concern for you, I want to emphasize that you should seek out nearby medical professionals who follow a personalized treatment principle that takes such variables into account.

These people are suitable for Rejuran Healer
- People who feel their skin has recently become thinner and more sensitive
- People whose fine lines around the eyes and mouth have increased rapidly
- People who have acne scars or marks left by breakouts
- People whose skin is always dry and whose oil-moisture balance is out of sync
- People who want gradual recovery without surgery or laser procedures
Apgujeong Rejuran Healer is typically performed in 3 to 4 sessions,
and as the sessions accumulate, the skin’s density and elasticity change.
(There is also a method that combines Rejuran with skin booster injections to address dryness and the glow effect at the same time.)
Because the goal is natural, healthy recovery rather than immediate change,
pain management that allows consistent treatment without strain is very important.
If fear of pain is too great, it can actually make you avoid post-procedure care or repeated treatment.
However, I’d like to note that it is possible to adjust conditions sufficiently to the point that patients say, “It was more tolerable than I expected,” or “I think I can get it again.”

Rejuran Healer pain can be managed
Rejuran Healer is not just a procedure that ends with a single injection.
Only when each patient’s condition is accurately understood,
and careful planning tailored to that condition is in place, do both results and satisfaction truly improve.
If you have been hesitating because of anxiety about the procedure or pain,
please do not worry too much and first check the treatment plan that suits you through a consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions Q&A
Q. How long does the procedure take?
It takes about 1 hour including anesthesia, and the procedure itself ends within 15 to 20 minutes.
Q. Can I apply makeup or go out right away?
There may be needle marks or redness, but these usually disappear within 1 to 2 days, and makeup is possible starting the next day.
Q. How many sessions of Rejuran Healer are needed?
Usually, after 3 to 4 sessions at 3- to 4-week intervals, maintenance once every 6 months is recommended.
Q. I’m worried the pain will be severe.
Pain can be sufficiently managed through a personalized approach. This is also why satisfaction after the procedure is high.
These days, when the skin becomes thinner and recovery slows down,
Apgujeong Rejuran Healer can be a good option for regaining skin vitality.
If you want natural recovery without unnecessary pain, please be sure to consult with a nearby medical professional.
Thank you.
