Developed in South Korea, where skin care is an art and a science, the Rejuran family of products has taken Singapore by storm, exploding in popularity due to their powerful anti-ageing and healing properties derived from natural salmon DNA. Now, the popular Rejuran H (Healer) is joined by a treatment developed specifically to help reduce - or even eliminate - the effects of persistent scarring: Rejuran S (Scar). Below, five ways Rejuran S can help revitalize your skin.

Given that about 80 percent of people between 11 and 30 will experience acne at some point, and that one in five of those report at least some scarring, chances are you’re familiar with these frustrating skin anomalies. And while beauty is a question of character as much as appearance. There’s no denying that many of those afflicted by acne scarring report decreased self-esteem, reduced self-confidence and a reluctance to engage in social interactions, such as dating or forming new friendships.

Fortunately, Rejuran S was developed specifically to provide permanent relief from acne scarring. It’s highly-concentrated polynucleotide formulation means Rejuran S is more viscous than its cousin, Rejuran H, and more effective against acne scarring. The thicker liquid “fills up” even the deepest icepick and boxcar scars to produce immediately smoother skin.

Despite what the name implies, however, Rejuran S isn’t limited to treating acne scars - it also promotes general revitalization of the skin. Keep reading to discover the unexpected side benefits of Rejuran S.

What Is Rejuran S?

A specialized version of the popular treatment, Rejuran H, Rejuran S is an injection treatment that stimulates collagen repair, regeneration and remodeling to reduce the appearance of acne scars. Derived from salmon DNA, the polynucleotides that make up Rejuran S trigger the skin’s natural healing reaction to help repair damaged cells and restore their natural structure. More powerful than laser treatment alone, Rejuran S actually fills and plumps depressed scars, visibly smoothing uneven texture.

Though most patients opt to use Rejuran S to treat facial scarring left behind by adolescent acne, the treatment is suitable for use on any body area, including the back and chest. Used in combination with Rejuran H and laser treatments, many patients enjoy a complete recovery from scarring, with no visible traces of previous acne.

How Does Rejuran S Work?

The highly-purified, long-chain polymeric nucleotides derived from salmon DNA that give Rejuran S its power have a high water binding capacity and viscoelasticity designed to aid in skin reconstruction. Beyond simply filling up sunken scars, Rejuran S actually induces collagen production to heal the underlying structure.

Acne scars form when deep inflammation within the cyst occurs, damaging the surrounding skin structure. Once the cyst resolves and inflammation settles, the skin attempts to repair itself through the production of new collagen. In some cases, however, the new collagen produced does not lie smoothly. Instead, it forms twisted bands that pull at the surrounding skin cells, leading to changes in shape. When the twisted collagen pulls down, acne scars form. When it pulls laterally, patients may see the appearance of rolling scars.

Unlike other injectables, which may lose efficacy over time, Rejuran S continues to deliver results long after the course of treatment concludes. Rather than simply settling into depressions in the skin, Rejuran S works to support the skin while stimulating the development of fibroblasts needed for the additional collagen production that naturally heals scarring. The result? Long-lasting smoothness that won’t require endless upkeep or risk the accumulation of active ingredients on your skin.

As with most dermatological therapies, the full effect of Rejuran S may take some time to become fully visible. While a single treatment may suffice for lighter scarring, particularly for patients also undergoing laser resurfacing or microneedling, others will need three to four treatments to achieve best results. Your dermatologist will discuss the best course of treatment for you, which may range from one to four sessions depending on your current skin condition and desired outcome.

What Can Rejuran S Do to Revitalize Your Skin?

Though developed principally to treat the rolling, icepick and boxcar scars created by chronic hormonal or cystic acne, Rejuran S has other benefits as well. In addition to the improved self-confidence, you’ll experience a number of other positive side-effects during your Rejuran S treatment, including:

Stimulate Collagen Production

The collagen your skin produces as a result of exposure to Rejuran S has many benefits beyond healing acne scars!

Comprised of strings of amino acids and peptides, collagen is responsible for a host of skin characteristics, such as strength, texture, elasticity and resilience. In fact, the powerhouse protein makes up about Rejuran S continues to deliver results long after the course of treatment concludes. Rather than simply settling into depressions in the skin, 75% of your skin’s structure. We’re all born with lots of the fibroblasts needed to produce collagen to keep skin in good working order, but as we age the amount and quality of material those fibroblasts can generate begins to decline, which can lead to changes in the quality and elasticity of your skin.

Because it stimulates all your fibroblasts to kickstart their collagen production - not just the ones near your acne scars - Rejuran S can also function as an effective anti-ageing treatment. Many patients report improved skin elasticity, reduced fine lines and wrinkles and a dewier, more youthful texture as a result of their treatments.

Brighten Skin

Another benefit of increased collagen? Brighter, dewier skin. Provided you keep your skin well hydrated with a complete regime of amino and hyaluronic acids, the extra, “bonus” collagen generated by Rejuran S treatments should give your skin a plumper, more youthful appearance.

It’s important to note that, while collagen alone will help reduce the appearance of fine lines and other signs of ageing, to truly experience that ‘glass skin’ look - another Korean invention - you’ll need to ensure that you supplement your Rejuran S treatments with intensive moisturizing to keep production going strong.

Increase Overall Skin Hydration

In addition to the powerful polynucleotides that form the foundation of all Rejuran products, Rejuran S also contains hyaluronic acid, a well-known and highly effective moisturizer.

A humectant, hyaluronic acid loves water and binds to it whenever possible, giving your skin a plump, dew-y look. As you age, however, your skin gradually produces less and less hyaluronic acid - similar to collagen - which can lead to dullness and a loss of elasticity. Topical treatments can help, but for more effective, long-lasting treatment, you’ll need something more intensive, like Rejuran S. Large hyaluronic acid molecules are the best at binding with water and usually form the basis of over-the-counter night creams, masks and serums, however their size prevents them from truly penetrating the skin, which minimizes their long-term efficacy. The hyaluronic acid molecules in Rejuran S, by contrast, are much smaller and injected directly into the subdermal layer of the skin. Thus, while they may not pack quite the binding punch as a larger molecule, they penetrate more deeply and remain part of the skin for a longer period, giving you months of hydration and plumpness.

Smooth Out Uneven Texture

The same process Rejuran S stimulates to repair acne scarring also benefits other, less affected areas of the skin, leading to improved texture, with fewer lines, wrinkles, redness and rough patches.

In addition to a natural decline in collagen production, lifestyle factors such as sun exposure or tanning, smoking, and poor diet can lead to skin to become thin and irritable, prone to chronic redness and bumpy, rough patches. The result, skin that looks much older than you feel.

The global collagen production stimulated by Rejuran S works to combat these signs of ageing at the cellular level, plumping and firming the skin to even out texture. The added moisture from this extra collagen also soothes redness, restoring the more consistent skin tone you remember from your days at university.

Reduce the Appearance of Large Pores

Scars aren’t the only little ‘gift’ left behind by chronic hormonal or cystic acne. The excess sebum production that fuelled those unsightly lesions also damaged the walls of the cells in your pores, inhibiting their ability to generate adequate collagen. Without the support of this important protein, the walls of the pores themselves begin to stretch and sag, leading to larger, more visible pores than we’d like.

While there is a genetic component to your pore size - meaning you’re unlikely to shrink them beyond their natural genetic ‘programming’ - you can repair the damage to pores enlarged by acne with - you guessed it! - collagen. Supplements and creams won’t do the trick, however, as collagen’s too large a molecule for simple absorption. You’ll need the power of an injection like Rejuran S.
