Rejuran

Treatment may suit adults seeking a gradual improvement in fine lines, texture and early changes in skin quality. It can be considered when you want a refreshed appearance without adding substantial facial volume. Suitability depends on your medical history, skin health and expectations, rather than age alone. At consultation, bring details of previous injectables and any persistent swelling or reactions. A doctor should first investigate unexplained rashes, changing lesions or sudden changes around the eyes.

Possible improvements include softer-looking fine lines, smoother texture, better hydration and a more supple appearance. The intention is a subtle change in skin quality, not an instant facelift. Results vary, and some people notice only a modest benefit. Clinical studies are still relatively small, with different products and treatment schedules, so a guaranteed percentage improvement or fixed duration would be misleading. Photographs taken in consistent lighting can help you and your doctor judge progress. Maintenance is considered only after reviewing your response and ongoing goals.

Do not judge the result immediately after treatment, when swelling can temporarily make lines look softer. Some people notice fresher-looking skin over the following few weeks, with further changes developing through the course. A review several weeks after the final session is more useful than a day-by-day promise. Your skin, the treated area and the agreed plan influence the timing.

A course is usually discussed rather than a single guaranteed-result appointment. Skin Line may recommend around 2–4 sessions approximately 3–4 weeks apart, depending on the product, area and response. Your doctor confirms the schedule and decides whether maintenance is worthwhile; repeated treatment should follow reassessment.

Treatment is not suitable if you have a known allergy to the product or its ingredients. Tell your doctor about fish allergy, previous severe allergic reactions and reactions to injectable treatments. Pregnancy and breastfeeding are reasons to defer an elective treatment because safety data are insufficient. Active infection, cold sores, inflamed or broken skin in the intended area require assessment and usually postponement. Bleeding disorders, medicines that affect clotting, immune disorders, immunosuppressive treatment and a history of problematic scarring need individual medical review. This is not an exhaustive screening list.

Small raised bumps, redness, tenderness, swelling, pinpoint bleeding and bruising can follow injections. These usually settle, but swelling around the eyes may be more noticeable or last longer. Less common complications include infection, prolonged inflammation, persistent lumps and allergic reactions. An injection can also damage a blood vessel; serious vascular complications are rare but require prompt action. Seek urgent help for severe or increasing pain, unusually pale or dusky skin, or any change in vision. Contact the clinic for spreading redness, increasing warmth, discharge or worsening swelling rather than attempting to treat these yourself.

Arrange a consultation and explain what you want to improve, including any upcoming event. Provide a full list of medicines and supplements, allergies, medical conditions and recent dental, laser or injectable procedures. Do not stop prescribed anticoagulants or any other medicine without advice from the prescriber. Arrive with clean skin where possible, avoid irritating the area beforehand and tell the clinic if you develop a cold sore, infection or sunburn. Allow time in your diary for visible injection marks or bruising, particularly before photography or an important occasion.

Plan for a few days of visible bumps, redness or swelling. Bruising may last longer, and the under-eye area deserves extra allowance. Many people can manage ordinary activities soon afterwards, but there is no guaranteed “no downtime” appointment. Choose a date that leaves flexibility for your individual recovery.

Allow approximately 30 minutes for treatment, with additional time for consultation, cleansing and topical anaesthetic if used. The total appointment depends on the areas being treated.

The skin needs time to settle after the injections. Small bumps may flatten over the following days, while bruising can remain visible for a week or longer. The eye area can recover more slowly than the cheeks. Your doctor will explain what is expected for your particular treatment and how to contact the clinic. Do not massage or press the treated areas unless specifically instructed. Recovery is not a reliable measure of the eventual result: more swelling does not mean a better response.

Follow the written aftercare instructions supplied by your treating doctor. Keep the area clean, avoid touching injection sites and use gentle skincare once advised. Postpone exfoliating acids, retinoids and harsh scrubs until the skin has settled and your doctor agrees. Protect the skin from strong sunlight and use broad-spectrum SPF 50 when it can be applied comfortably to intact skin. Avoid saunas, intense heat, swimming and strenuous exercise during the initial recovery period as instructed. Ask before arranging another facial treatment, and attend any recommended follow-up appointment.
