If you’ve spent any time scrolling through skincare TikToks or deep-diving into anti-aging trends, you’ve probably seen the words “salmon DNA” floating around. At first glance, it sounds more like sushi than skincare. But this high-tech skin treatment, known as Rejuran, is quickly gaining ground as one of the most effective regenerative therapies on the market.
At The Park MedSpa, we’re proud to offer Rejuran as part of our advanced skin rejuvenation lineup—and here’s why everyone’s talking about it.
What Exactly Is Rejuran?
Rejuran is a polynucleotide (PN)-based injectable treatment derived from salmon DNA. More specifically, it contains PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide), a purified DNA extract that has remarkable healing and anti-inflammatory properties. What makes salmon DNA so special? It’s biocompatible with human skin, meaning your body accepts it easily and responds by repairing tissue, boosting hydration, and increasing collagen and elastin production.
The treatment originated in South Korea and has since gained massive popularity throughout Asia before catching fire in the U.S. medical aesthetics scene.
How Rejuran Works: Science Behind the Treatment
Rejuran is administered through precise microinjections into targeted areas such as the face, neck, or hands. Once introduced into the dermis, the polynucleotides—specifically polydeoxyribonucleotides (PDRN)—initiate a complex cascade of cellular signaling pathways. These molecules bind to specific purinergic receptors on fibroblasts and immune cells, leading to upregulation of growth factors like VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) and TGF-β (transforming growth factor-beta). These factors stimulate angiogenesis, enhance fibroblast proliferation, and promote extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, including the synthesis of collagen types I and III and elastin fibers.
Additionally, PDRN exhibits anti-inflammatory effects by modulating cytokine activity, reducing oxidative stress, and accelerating the repair of DNA-damaged skin cells. The result is a marked improvement in tissue regeneration, hydration retention, and skin elasticity.
Key Benefits of Rejuran:
- Stimulates neocollagenesis and elastin synthesis
- Improves dermal density and skin resilience
- Diminishes fine lines, wrinkles, and photoaging markers
- Reduces post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and acne scarring
- Evens out skin tone and texture by supporting epidermal turnover
- Enhances moisture retention via increased glycosaminoglycan production
These benefits are progressive—visible improvements typically emerge within 4–6 weeks, with optimal results achieved through a course of 3–4 treatments administered monthly.
Why Is Salmon DNA the Star Ingredient?
It might sound odd to inject fish DNA into your face, but the science is pretty solid. Salmon DNA is packed with nucleotides that promote tissue regeneration and cellular repair. Because salmon DNA closely mirrors the DNA structure in human skin, it helps stimulate fibroblasts (the cells responsible for collagen production) and accelerates natural healing processes.
Here’s why it’s trending:
- Biocompatibility: Low risk of allergic reaction
- Natural repair mechanism: Heals from the inside out
- Clinically backed: Studies show PDRN improves skin elasticity, density, and hydration
Who Is Rejuran Best For?
Rejuran isn’t just a one-trick pony. It’s suitable for a wide range of skin types and concerns:
- Early signs of aging (fine lines, sagging, dull skin)
- Post-acne scarring
- Rough, uneven texture
- Thin or fragile skin
- Sensitive or inflamed skin (thanks to its anti-inflammatory action)
It’s also a go-to for people looking to prevent skin aging before it becomes more pronounced. Think of it as a regenerative investment in your skin’s future.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
Rejuran treatments are quick, typically 30 to 45 minutes. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect:
During:
- The area is numbed with a topical anesthetic
- A fine needle or injector administers the solution in tiny amounts
- Slight pinching or stinging may occur, but discomfort is minimal
After:
- Mild redness, swelling, or small bumps may appear (often resembling mosquito bites)
- These side effects usually subside within 24–48 hours
- Makeup can typically be worn after 24 hours
Because this is a biostimulatory treatment—not a filler—you won’t see immediate volume. Instead, think gradual glow-up over a few weeks as your skin regenerates.
Why Everyone’s Talking About It: Real Results, No Filler Look
With trendy overfilled cheeks and dramatic transformations, Rejuran offers a natural, refreshed look without adding bulk. It aligns perfectly with the emerging “skin-first” aesthetic philosophy, where the emphasis is on improving skin function, integrity, and radiance rather than altering facial contours.
So, what’s the fuss really about? Rejuran is gaining traction not just for its ability to visibly improve skin texture, but for the scientific credibility behind its ingredients. The polynucleotides in Rejuran don’t merely sit on the skin’s surface—they penetrate deep into the dermis, activating fibroblast activity, enhancing mitochondrial function, and accelerating DNA repair. This goes beyond cosmetic masking; it’s biological skin restoration at the cellular level.
Social media influencers, dermatologists, and beauty editors are all buzzing about it:
- Minimal downtime, especially compared to more aggressive laser or chemical resurfacing
- Natural results that develop progressively, without the telltale puffiness or overcorrection associated with fillers
- Versatility across all skin types and tones, making it inclusive and adaptable
Its popularity has been further fueled by celebrity endorsements, trending TikTok testimonials, and a general shift toward evidence-based beauty routines. Whether you’re prepping for a big event or starting a long-term strategy for skin longevity, Rejuran is fast becoming the top choice for anyone serious about regenerative skincare.
