REJURAN® (i) for the eye area

How REJURAN® (i) works
Like REJURAN® for the face, REJURAN® (i) is made of polynucleotide (PN) fragments derived from salmon DNA. It supports fibroblast activity and the skin's natural repair processes, rather than adding volume like an under-eye filler.
What it may help with
- Crepey or thin under-eye skin
- Fine lines around the eyes
- Hydration and elasticity of the eye area
The treatment
After a medical assessment, topical anaesthetic may be applied about 30 minutes beforehand. REJURAN® (i) is placed with small, careful injections in the under-eye area.
Because the skin here is delicate, some swelling or bruising is more likely than elsewhere and usually settles within a few days. Further treatments may be recommended; your plan is discussed at consultation.
Possible side effects and risks
As with all injectable procedures, side effects and complications may occur. These may include, but are not limited to:
- Redness, swelling, small bumps, or bruising at injection sites (usually resolving within 1–3 days)
- Skin sensitivity, mild peeling, or dryness
- Temporary scabbing, which will usually fall off naturally within a few days
- Rare infection, which may cause scarring if aftercare instructions are not followed
- Allergic reaction to topical anaesthetic or injectable ingredients
- Rarely, granuloma or hypersensitivity if REJURAN® is injected into the same plane as previous dermal filler
Aftercare
- Avoid excessive touching, rubbing, or massage at the treated area
- Avoid high-heat environments such as saunas and hot yoga for 24–48 hours
- Apply sunscreen with high SPF daily to reduce risk of pigmentation
- Follow all aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner

Small bumps, redness, swelling or bruising are common and usually resolve within a few days. Avoid rubbing the area and high-heat environments for 24 to 48 hours.
03Can I have REJURAN® (i) with REJURAN® for the face?
