Rejuran
What is Rejuran?
Rejuran is a skin rejuvenation treatment that contains polynucleotides (PN) derived from salmon DNA. When broken down, the PN turn to polydeoxyribonucleotides (PDRN). PDRN consists of smaller DNA fragments that retain regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties. The structural similarity of human and salmon DNA allows for better absorption and utilization by human cells.
How does Rejuran work?
The PDRN in Rejuran works within the dermis to naturally encourage collagen production, increase cellular turnover, improve the appearance of discoloration, and enhance the performance of other active ingredients. It stimulates collagen and elastin, the two essential proteins in the skin responsible for maintaining elasticity and firmness. Since it regenerates the skin cells themselves, it is very effective for treating acne scars and tightening the pores in the skin. It is also known to make your skin brighter and the texture smoother.
