A highly popular treatment not only in Korea but also in other Asian countries like Singapore is the Rejuran Healer injection developed by a Korean pharmaceutical company, Pharma research.
As we age, our skin ages too which is only sped up by external stimuli and stress. When the skin ages, collagen and elastic fiber in the skin are diminished and our dermis layer gets thinner and loses elasticity. This is why aged skin feels thinner and we get wrinkles.
So came the Rejuran Healer injection in 2014 and became increasingly popular. It uses a substance called PN(Polynucleotide) to regenerate skin tissue, make our skin thicker and increase its elasticity. It reduces wrinkles and brings back the skin to its younger form.
