Rejuran is a popular skin rejuvenation treatment known for its regenerative and anti-aging
effects. Originating from South Korea, Rejuran is a potent injectable polynucleotide derived
from salmon DNA which improves skin tightness, thickness, and addresses concerns such as
acne, pigmentation, redness, rosacea, inflammation and improves darkness under the eyes.

Please ensure you: 

• Are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Are not planning to fly interstate within 72 hours, or fly Internationally within two weeks post treatment.
• Do not consume alcohol or perform strenuous exercise in the 24-48 hours prior and post treatment 
• Have no excessive acne, sunburn, broken skin, wounds or coldsores in the desired treatment area. 
• If you are prone to coldsores, visit your local chemist for preventative medication. Not taking this medication can cause an outbreak, so take the night/morning prior to your appointment, as directed by your pharmacist.
• Have not had any vaccinations, major dental work, or any aesthetic treatment planned to the same area for a MINIMUM of TWO WEEKS prior and post appointment. 
• Have not come down with an illness (Influenza, Bronchitis, Covid-19 etc) within the last two weeks as your body’s immune response is heightened.
• Are not taking any antibiotic or steroidal medications (penicillin, amoxicillin, prednisone etc) for the two weeks leading up to your treatment.
• Stop the use of anti-inflammatory medications a minimum of one week before your appointment. e.g. Ibuprofen, Aspirin, Naproxen/Naprogesic, Fish oils, St John’s Wort, Ginko, Ginseng, Vitamin E, or any blood thinning medications. You may take regular Panadol but advise your nurse if it was within the last 24 hours prior to treatment. 
• Ensure you are well hydrated by increasing your water intake, and have eaten a balanced meal in the last 4 hours prior to treatment.
• If you suffer from an autoimmune or neuromuscular disorder (Eaton Lambert Syndrome, Myasthena Gravis etc) it is very unlikely you will be able to receive treatment. Please discuss and gain consent from your regular GP or specialist before booking in.

Available at Angel Aesthetics Clinic in Brisbane, Gold Coast and Perth.

• Initial Results: Typically, noticeable improvements in skin texture and hydration can
  be observed within 2 to 4 weeks after the first treatment session.
• Optimal Results: For best results, a series of 3 to 4 sessions is usually recommended,
  spaced 4 weeks apart. Optimal improvements are generally seen after completing
  this initial series.
• Maintenance: The results of Rejuran treatments can last up to 6 to 12 months,
  depending on individual factors such as age, skin condition, lifestyle, and skincare
  routine. Maintenance sessions are often recommended every 6 to 12 months to
  sustain the results.

• Immediately post treatment there may be small bumps or "papules" at the injection
  sites. These bumps are normal and typically subside within a few hours and up to 48
  hours.
• Rejuran treatments generally have minimal downtime. Most people can return to
  their daily activities immediately after the procedure however, slight redness,
  swelling, pinpoint marks and bumps from the injections may be visible.
• Bruising and swelling can occur. These symptoms are usually mild and resolve within
  48 hours but can last up to 2 weeks.
• Light makeup can be applied 12 hours post treatment to cover any redness or
  bruising, but it is important to use clean tools and products to avoid the risk of
  infection.

As with all treatments administered via injection, a mild pressure sensation in the injection
sites can be felt, and tenderness, inflammation, redness, itching, swelling and/or bruising
are all very normal and not cause for concern. 
Less common mild side effects such as headaches, cold & flu like symptoms, pins and
needles, numbness or nerve pain in or near the treated area can occur. During the 4 weeks
it takes to integrate and settle into the tissue, you may experience all, some, or none of the

above symptoms. We know any side effect can feel worrying, but remember any of the
above are only a cause for concern if they do not resolve.
A rare but serious complication known as a Vascular Occlusion (filler enters an artery or
vein, partially or completely blocking the blood flow) is something your nurse will discuss
with you and what to look out for. Symptoms usually present immediately, but can occur
within 72 hours as dark, mottled bruising and white patches or pale/blanched skin on or
near the bruising. Heat and/or pain in the area can usually be felt, too. Tissue death can
reportedly occur by an unresolved VO from the 48-72 hour mark, so please contact us
immediately with photos and videos showing any bruise concerns.
A heightened immune response in patients can also cause adverse events such as a
delayed/quick onset hypersensitivity (similar to an allergic reaction) and nodules (hard
lumps that form), which is why we ask any patients who have been ill, taken
antibiotics/steroids, received a vaccination or have active coldsores or broken skin in the
two weeks before their appointment to advise their nurse.
An allergic reaction, whilst extremely rare, is still a possibility from all prescription
medication so keep an eye out for itchy hives and/or swelling around the eyes, mouth and
throat. Contact us immediately if you have any concerns, or call triple 000 if an
emergency/outside of business hours.
The most rare and serious complication that can occur is blindness from an occlusion
travelling to, and then blocking the opthalmic artery. In Australia, only two reported cases
have occurred, but it’s important to be aware the risk exists.
Potential aesthetic side effects like Fordyce Spots can occur, which are tiny white dots on
the lips that become more visible after lip filler treatment, this will resolve as the filler
dissolves. Another potential is called the Tyndall Effect, which is a blue/grey discolouration
and heightened risk in patients with thin tissue or highly depleted fat pads.
Booking your follow up between 4-6 weeks is essential for us to be able to complimentary
treat a complication, concern or asymmetry that occurs within our control. This timeframe is
specific for Rejuran follow ups, so if you aren’t able to find an appointment with your nurse
within this period, please contact us as soon as possible.

Upon arriving to Angel Aesthetics, you will be greeted by our Angels and checked in via our
booking system. If you have any patient forms left to complete (these are sent as part of
your reminder message), please arrive at least 5 minutes early. If you are booked in for
Rejuran, you can be numbed early by request. 
At your appointment time, your nurse will take you through and begin your consultation,
which is provided as part of all treatments booked – we’ll never inject without knowing your
goals. During this consultation, you will be numbed for Rejuran if you haven’t requested
early numbing, then you and your nurse will decide on the best treatment option/s for you,

depending on your candidacy, goals and budget. Your nurse will advise you of your expected
results, discuss with you product options (such as thick or regular filler) and volumes, and go
through your aftercare instructions & any potential side effects to look out for, specific to
your Rejuran treatment.
A prescription for your chosen treatment will be obtained via telehealth consultation if you
are a new patient to us, or if it’s been more than 12 months since your last appointment
with us. The doctor will also go through the risks again and obtain your consent to a
prescription and subsequent administration.
Any makeup will be removed, and the treatment area disinfected in preparation for
treatment, sometimes patients are ‘marked up’ with a cosmetic pen (this is not always
needed, and not for all areas). Once treatment has started, it’s all very quick and simple
from there and in no time, treatment will be complete. After your treatment, your nurse will
take you through to reception to complete payment, and you’ll be offered to sit and relax
with a coffee, tea or sparkling water & some snacks to unwind and relax post treatment

The recommended timeframe to receive treatments before a special occasion or event
varies per service. For Rejuran we recommend receiving your treatment at minimum 4-6
weeks before your event, so your results have had time to fully settle.
Weddings: if you are a new patient to us, we ideally recommend coming in 6 months prior
for a consultation – this allows us to create the best treatment plan for you with your
treatment options and timeframes. This ensures you have your final results and avoid any
stress of potential adjustments or complications too close to your special day.

We use a high-grade numbing gel that works within 10-15 minutes, We recommend to
arrive early for longer numbing. 
Industry research has found that the body’s natural threshold for anaesthetic for natural
redheads is higher, meaning you need a larger dose, or your TLA numbing needs to be on for
a minimum of 15 minutes
