Two Rejuran formulas, two different goals

Rejuran is a family of Korean injectables based on polynucleotides (PN), which are derived from salmon DNA. Over time, the brand has developed different formulas for different purposes. Two names you may come across are Rejuran Healer, the original and most widely known version, and Rejuran HB, a formula that adds a local anaesthetic and a hyaluronic acid component.


If you are comparing the two before a visit to Korea, it helps to understand what each one is generally designed for. This guide explains the differences in plain language. The final choice is always made with a doctor, who will look at your skin, history and goals.


What Rejuran Healer is generally used for

Rejuran Healer is the formula most people mean when they simply say "Rejuran". It is injected into the superficial layers of the skin across the face and is commonly used to support:


  • Overall skin quality. Many patients choose it for a healthier-looking, more resilient complexion.
  • Texture. It is often included in plans for uneven texture and fine lines.
  • Skin recovery. It is frequently discussed alongside laser treatments as part of a broader skin plan.


Rejuran Healer usually leaves small bumps on the skin for a short time after injection, which is an expected part of the treatment.


What Rejuran HB is generally used for

Rejuran HB is designed with a slightly different profile. It combines polynucleotides with hyaluronic acid and includes a local anaesthetic in the formula. People often discuss it in relation to:


  • Hydration-focused goals. The added hyaluronic acid is associated with moisture and plumpness.
  • Comfort during injection. The included anaesthetic is intended to make injections feel more comfortable for some patients.
  • Different injection areas or techniques. Its texture can suit some areas or techniques better than others, as decided by the doctor.


Because Rejuran HB contains an anaesthetic, it is especially important to tell the doctor about any allergies or reactions to local anaesthetics you have had in the past.


How to think about which formula matches your goals

Rather than asking which formula is better, it can help to ask which goal matters most to you:


  • If texture and skin resilience are your priority. Rejuran Healer is the formula most often discussed for these concerns.
  • If hydration and comfort are your priority. Rejuran HB may come up in conversation, depending on availability and your skin.
  • If you have sensitive or reactive skin. Mention this clearly. The doctor may suggest a gentler plan or a different booster altogether.
  • If you have limited time in Korea. Downtime and visible bumps can affect your choice, so share your travel schedule.


Product availability differs between clinics. Patients can ask during consultation which Rejuran options are available and which one the doctor recommends for their skin.


Rejuran at Daybeau Clinic Seomyeon

At Daybeau Clinic Seomyeon, the listed Rejuran item is Rejuran 2cc at 139,000 KRW (first-visit price, VAT excluded, 10% VAT added at payment, checked October 2026). Other formulas are not on the fixed price list, so if you are interested in a specific version, ask at your consultation and you will receive a quote if it is suitable and available.


If your main goal is hydration, the doctor may also discuss other skin boosters on the price list, such as Water Glow 2cc at 39,000 KRW or Exosome 2.5cc at 49,000 KRW, under the same first-visit, VAT-excluded terms. You can read more about the original treatment on the Rejuran page or compare options on the skin boosters page.


Side effects and safety

Both formulas are injectables, so common reactions include redness, mild swelling, small bumps and possible bruising at injection points. These usually settle within a short time. Patients with allergies to fish products, a history of reactions to injectables, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult a doctor before any treatment. Results vary, and a doctor decides suitability at consultation.


Frequently asked questions

Is Rejuran HB less painful than Rejuran Healer?

Rejuran HB contains a local anaesthetic, which some patients find makes injections more comfortable. However, comfort varies, and numbing cream is commonly used with both formulas.


Can I choose the formula myself?

You can share your preference, but the doctor will recommend what suits your skin and what is available. The final plan is agreed together at consultation.


Do the two formulas have the same downtime?

Both can cause temporary bumps and redness. The exact appearance and how long it lasts depend on the technique and your skin.
