In the ever-evolving world of skincare, innovation knows no bounds. The latest trend catching attention is the use of salmon testicle injections, specifically through a treatment known as Rejuran. I took the plunge to see if this unusual ingredient could deliver on its promises of rejuvenation and radiance, all under the expert care of Cosima Medispa in Edgecliff.
What is Rejuran?
Rejuran is a cutting-edge skin treatment originating from South Korea, known for its advanced beauty solutions. The star ingredient of Rejuran is polynucleotide (PN), derived from salmon testicle DNA. This might sound unconventional, but the science behind it is compelling. Polynucleotides are known for their remarkable regenerative properties, helping to heal and repair damaged skin.
The Treatment Process
The procedure began at Cosima Medispa, a highly reputable cosmetic skin care clinic renowned for its expertise and exceptional care.
First, the skin around the eyes was thoroughly cleansed, followed by the application of a numbing cream to ensure comfort during the treatment. Using a fine needle, the doctor expertly injected the Rejuran solution around the delicate eye area. The process was relatively quick, taking about 30 minutes.
Rejuran is revolutionising eye area treatments, filling a significant gap where few options exist. It’s uniquely designed to address micro creases and bags under the eyes, offering significant improvement. This innovative solution promotes skin regeneration and hydration, making it choice for rejuvenating the delicate skin around the eyes.
The sensation felt like a series of tiny pinpricks, which were mostly painless thanks to the numbing cream. However, be prepare for some immediate swelling and the formation of small lumps around the injection sites. This is a common and temporary reaction to the treatment, which was explained to me beforehand.
Immediate Results and Initial Reactions
Immediately after the treatment, I noticed a slight plumpness and hydration around the eyes, along with some visible lumps. These lumps, though initially alarming, were expected. The clinic reassured me that they would subside within a few hours to a couple of days as the solution evenly distributed and the skin began to absorb the polynucleotides.
Despite the temporary lumps, there was an overall sense of enhanced hydration and a subtle glow around the eyes. The initial effect is due to the hydrating properties of the injected solution, giving the skin an instant moisture boost.
Long-term Benefits
Rejuran’s real magic happens over time. The polynucleotides work to stimulate the skin’s natural regenerative processes, enhancing collagen production and improving skin elasticity. This leads to several long-term benefits:
- Reduced Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Over the following weeks, I noticed a significant reduction in the fine lines around my eyes. The skin appeared smoother and more youthful.
- Enhanced Skin Texture: The overall texture of the skin improved, becoming firmer and more resilient.
- Brighter and Even Tone: There was a noticeable improvement in the skin tone, with a brighter and more even complexion around the eyes.
- Improved Hydration: The area stayed hydrated and plump, reducing the appearance of dark circles and puffiness.
Final Thoughts
My experience with Rejuran has been overwhelmingly positive despite the initial lumps around the eyes. The treatment’s unique use of salmon testicle DNA might raise eyebrows, but the results speak for themselves. The combination of immediate hydration and long-term skin regeneration makes it a standout option for those looking to rejuvenate their eye area without resorting to invasive procedures.
For anyone seeking a cutting-edge solution to tired, ageing eyes, Rejuran offers a promising and scientifically-backed approach. As with any cosmetic treatment, it’s essential to consult with the medical professional to ensure it’s the right choice for your skin needs.
