Rejuran Healer: Is a treatment without embossing a failure? The truth explained by a dermatologist image 1

Hello.

Just enough, and beautifully!

I’m Mira Lee, CEO and head doctor of Banni Skin Clinic.

When people think of Rejuran Healer, two related words naturally come to mind: embossing and pain.

Today, I’d like to talk in detail about embossing, one of those two keywords.

Embossing refers to the raised bumps that appear at the injection sites, and there is a common belief that almost follows it like a rule:

"If there is little or no embossing, the procedure was done incorrectly."

This is actually one of the most common questions we hear from patients who visit us for Rejuran treatments.

To give you the answer in advance, embossing and effectiveness are not closely related. 😅

There are other factors that determine Rejuran’s results.

So in this column, I’d like to clear up the misconceptions and facts about Rejuran Healer embossing.

In addition, I’ll also cover how long embossing lasts after treatment, how to care for it, and the real conditions that affect results.

Rejuran Healer Embossing: Everything You Need to Know

  1. Why does embossing occur?

Rejuran Healer is a skin booster treatment that involves direct injection into the dermis (a depth of 1 to 3 mm).

The dermis is the layer that forms the core structure of the skin, and it contains fibroblasts, which produce collagen and elastin.

When this layer is healthy, the skin stays firm and moisturized. But as aging progresses and collagen and elastin decrease, the skin becomes saggy, dry, and wrinkled.

The main ingredient in Rejuran Healer is polynucleotide, a biocompatible substance extracted from salmon DNA. When this ingredient reaches the dermis, it helps promote collagen production and activate skin regeneration.

Because this ingredient is highly viscous, it does not spread immediately within the skin. Instead, it stays in place for a certain period and is absorbed gradually.

At that point, raised embossing appears on the skin surface.

In other words, embossing is a natural phenomenon that occurs during the process of the medication staying in the skin and exerting its effect.

However, as mentioned in the introduction, the premise that embossing must always appear for the treatment to be effective is incorrect. There are two variables involved.

I’ll explain them in the next section.

  1. The relationship between embossing and effectiveness

  2. Individual skin characteristics

Embossing is also greatly affected by each person’s skin characteristics.

In particular, it is important to consider that dermal thickness differs from person to person. Since the dermis varies in thickness, embossing may appear differently even when the same amount is injected at the same depth.

To put it simply, in cases where the skin is thick and firm, embossing may be less noticeable because it does not easily rise to the epidermis. On the other hand, if the skin is thin, the medication sits closer to the surface, so embossing can appear more prominent.

  1. Treatment method

The size of embossing can also vary depending on how the treatment is performed.

Even with the same amount, if a large volume is injected at once, the space the medication occupies in the skin increases, and embossing may appear more prominent.

Conversely, if the medication is injected in small divided amounts, it can spread more evenly within the skin, making embossing barely visible or not noticeable at all.

Also, when a large amount is injected all at once, it may take longer for the skin to absorb it.

If it is injected in small portions, the skin gradually accepts it, making it more likely to be absorbed more quickly.

In that case, rather than forming large, obvious embossing, it may spread naturally and be absorbed smoothly.

In other words, even if the same amount is injected, the size of the embossing can differ depending on the injection method.

  1. How long does Rejuran Healer embossing last?

After Rejuran Healer treatment, embossing varies depending on each person’s skin condition, but it usually subsides gradually within 2 to 3 days.

However, depending on skin type, the amount of medication injected, and metabolic rate, it can last up to 7 days.

In most cases, embossing appears most noticeable immediately after treatment and then gradually fades as it is absorbed over the next day or two.

But if your skin is sensitive or you bruise easily, embossing may last a little longer.

If you have an important schedule:

After Rejuran Healer treatment, it is best to allow 1 to 2 weeks for embossing to fully settle and for the skin to stabilize.

In particular, if you have an important gathering or event, I recommend getting the treatment at least 1 to 2 weeks in advance.

How can you make embossing subside faster?

The most important thing is to avoid rubbing or irritating the skin and to give it time to absorb naturally.

Cold compresses may help temporarily reduce swelling, but temperatures that are too cold can instead irritate the skin.

Also, keeping the skin well hydrated can help skin regeneration work more smoothly, allowing embossing to settle more quickly.

In other words, gentle moisturization and rest without putting stress on the skin can help the embossing be absorbed more smoothly.

  1. Two factors that determine Rejuran Healer’s effectiveness

Because Rejuran Healer is a treatment that requires precise injection into the upper dermis, many people say the biggest factor affecting results is the doctor’s hand skill.

Of course, that is not wrong. But for medical staff who work in skin treatments, most can inject at the correct depth. It is not something extraordinarily special; it is a basic skill.

So in fact, the conditions that determine Rejuran Healer’s effectiveness are less about the practitioner’s hand skill and more about the patient’s expectations, skin characteristics, and how the medication is distributed.

Rejuran Healer is a treatment focused on skin regeneration and hydration, so people whose skin is already healthy may not feel dramatic changes.

In particular, if you expected an immediate lifting effect, such as visibly reduced pores or a dramatically tightened face, you may feel disappointed.

On the other hand, those with severe inner dryness or reduced skin elasticity are more likely to feel the effects more clearly.

Also, how the medication is distributed matters.

Because different areas of the face vary in skin thickness, firmness, and degree of dryness, it is more effective to adjust the injection according to the needs of each area rather than injecting everything uniformly.

For example, areas with thin skin and reduced elasticity, such as around the eyes or nasolabial folds, are better treated with more focused injections. Areas with relatively good elasticity do not necessarily need a large amount.

If these differences are ignored and the same amount is injected everywhere, it may be difficult to achieve the expected results.

What really matters is whether Rejuran is suitable for your skin condition and whether the appropriate amount was properly injected into the necessary areas.

So before treatment, it is important to carefully assess your skin condition and receive treatment in a way that suits you, right?

What matters is not the embossing, but a treatment that suits your skin.

As I mentioned earlier, Rejuran Healer embossing is simply a temporary phenomenon that appears during the treatment process, not a factor that determines effectiveness.

More embossing does not mean better results, and no embossing does not mean no effect.

What really matters is whether the right amount was injected precisely according to your skin condition and into the necessary areas.

Because Rejuran Healer is a treatment focused on skin regeneration and hydration, people whose skin is already healthy may not notice much change. Conversely, those with significant inner dryness or reduced elasticity may feel the effects more clearly.

Also, because skin condition differs by facial area, injecting more intensively where needed rather than using the same method for every area is the way to maximize effectiveness.

In other words, the key to Rejuran Healer is not embossing, but whether the procedure was performed properly in a way that suits your skin. Please keep this in mind.

I hope today’s column was truly helpful for those considering Rejuran Healer, and I’ll wrap up here.

To you, who are already dazzlingly beautiful.
