REJURAN®

+ What should I expect during the treatment?

All injectable treatments require a thorough consultation with a Registered Nurse prior to administration. At consultation you can discuss your desired outcomes and any concerns you may have. Infomed consent is obtained prior to treatment after your risks and side effects as well as aftercare have been discussed. Topical anaesthetic gel is applied for approximately 15 minutes. Micro-injections of REJURAN® are introduced over the desired treatment area. These micro-injections can be visible on the skin for several days depending on skin type and area treated. Bruising and swelling at the site is possible and can take several days to subside.

+ Are the results immediate and how long do results last?

As with all collagen stimulation treatments, results are expected to be seen several weeks post treatment. We recommend an initial series of 2-3 treatments for optimal results. Longevity of results will depend on age, skin type and lifestyle factors. We recommend maintenance treatments twice a year.

+ What are the risks and side effects?

Common side effects include: swelling , bruising, redness and tenderness. Micro-droplets can be visible on the skin for up to 72 hours post treatment. Like all medical treatments, Rejuran® injections carry a risk of rare adverse events occuring. These include infection and granuloma. To date there have been no reports of vascular occulsion occuring from REJURAN® treatment.

+ How long until I will see the final result?

As with all collagen stimulation treatments, results are expected to be seen several weeks post treatment. We recommend an initial series of treatments for optimal and long lasting results.
