Hello! We are Relieve Clinic, a premium dermatology practice located in the heart of Apgujeong, Seoul.
We specialize in pain-minimized, customized skin solutions for both local and international patients.
If you are researching Korean skincare, getting a rejuran treatment is likely at the top of your wishlist.
However, we often hear the exact same concern from our international visitors:
“I heard it hurts a lot. Is it really that scary?” It is completely natural to feel anxious about needles, especially when you are in a foreign country navigating a different language and medical system.
But here is what most travel blogs and busy clinics won’t tell you: there is a little-known factor that changes the entire experience from a highly stressful ordeal to a completely manageable, comfortable process.
By the end of this article, we will reveal exactly what that secret is so you can prepare for your visit with confidence.
What Exactly Happens During a Rejuran Treatment?
To understand the procedure, it helps to know what it is. A rejuran treatment (often called Rejuran Healer) is a skin booster.
Instead of filling the skin like a traditional dermal filler, it uses Polynucleotides (PN)—safe, biocompatible fragments derived from salmon DNA—to gently heal your skin from the inside out.
It may help improve overall skin elasticity, reduce fine lines, and give you that coveted “glass skin” glow.
Q: Why does it have a reputation for being painful?
A: The Rejuran solution is quite thick and viscous. When this dense liquid is injected into the delicate dermal layer of your skin, it creates a temporary feeling of pressure and stinging.
Q: Are there ways to make it less painful?
A: Absolutely. While the classic rejuran treatment is known for its discomfort, modern clinics offer specialized techniques and alternative product lines to help.
For example, Rejuran HB+ includes a local anesthetic (lidocaine) mixed right into the formula to significantly reduce pain.
Here is a quick look at how your experience might differ depending on the approach:
| Feature | Standard Clinic Approach | The Relieve Clinic Approach |
| Pain Management | Basic topical numbing cream (20 mins). | Advanced numbing, customized cooling, and gentle injection techniques. |
| Consultation | Briefly assessed by a manager; doctor injects quickly. | 1:1 consultation and treatment performed by the same head doctor. |
| Product Options | Often pushes standard Rejuran Healer only. | Offers Rejuran HB+ and tailored depths for sensitive patients. |

The Critical Factor We Promised to Reveal
Remember that little-known factor that changes everything about the pain level of a rejuran treatment? Here it is:
The true secret to a comfortable procedure is the doctor’s injection rhythm and depth control—which requires a 1:1 dedicated system.
In factory-style clinics, doctors are often rushed. Injecting the thick Rejuran fluid too quickly or at the wrong depth drastically increases the pain and bruising.
At Relieve Clinic, our philosophy is “Beauty is completed in comfort.” Our head doctor personally handles both your consultation and your treatment.
By taking the time to understand your unique skin thickness and pain tolerance, the doctor can carefully adjust the angle, depth, and speed of every single injection. We also utilize comprehensive pain-relief protocols before and during the procedure.
It is this personalized, unhurried care that turns a scary procedure into a relaxing step toward healthier skin.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How long do the bumps (embossing) last after a rejuran treatment?
Because the fluid is thick, small bumps will appear on your skin immediately after the injections. These typically subside within 1 to 3 days as the product absorbs into your skin.
Can I wash my face and wear makeup right after?
We generally recommend waiting a few hours before washing your face with lukewarm water and a gentle cleanser. It is best to avoid makeup for at least 24 hours to let the injection sites close and prevent any irritation.
Is there English-speaking staff available at the clinic?
Yes! At Relieve Clinic, we understand the anxieties of international patients. We have dedicated English-speaking staff to assist you from your very first message to your post-treatment aftercare.
