Rejuran in Tirana: Polynucleotide Skin Treatment
Rejuran is an injectable polynucleotide treatment designed to support gradual improvement in skin quality. It may be considered when the main concerns are uneven texture, reduced elasticity, fine lines or tired-looking skin.
Unlike fillers, Rejuran does not aim to change contours or add visible volume. Its goal is skin quality and progressive results while preserving natural facial features.
At Eden Laser Clinic in Tirana, treatment is planned after assessment of the skin, medical history and individual goals.

What is Rejuran?
Rejuran is the brand name of a family of injectable products with purified polynucleotides. According to the manufacturer, the polynucleotides used in Rejuran are derived from salmon and processed for professional use.
The product is placed in the skin through small injections. Depending on the formulation and treatment area, the aim may be to improve texture, elasticity, hydration and the overall appearance of the skin.
Rejuran is not a cream, peel or laser treatment. It is an injectable procedure and should be performed only after consultation, with an identifiable product and a protocol adapted to the area.
How do polynucleotides act in the skin?
Polynucleotides are used in aesthetic medicine to support the skin’s biological environment and repair processes. After injection, changes develop gradually and do not have the immediate effect of a product that adds volume.
Rejuran targets skin quality: softness, texture, elasticity, hydration and the appearance of fine lines. It may also be assessed for visible pores, mild irregularities and delicate areas, only when the formulation is suitable.
Results vary according to age, skin condition, sun exposure, lifestyle, product and individual response.
For which concerns may Rejuran be considered?
Treatment may be discussed for dehydrated or tired-looking skin, rough texture, mild loss of elasticity and early signs of ageing. Thin skin in delicate areas or minor surface irregularities require careful product selection. Rejuran may also be included in a personalised skin-quality plan.
Not every concern can be treated with Rejuran alone. Deep wrinkles, volume loss, pronounced sagging, pigmentation, visible vessels or deep acne scars may require another treatment or a combined plan.
Rejuran for the face
On the face, Rejuran is used to target overall skin quality without changing its shape. It may be considered when a patient wants a fresher appearance, more even texture and gradual improvement in elasticity.
Treatment areas are determined during the consultation. The product is not automatically placed across the whole face, and not every formulation is suitable for every area.
Rejuran for the eye area
The skin around the eyes is thinner and requires careful assessment. A suitable Rejuran formulation may be discussed for fine lines, delicate texture or a tired appearance in this area.
Treatment does not correct every cause of dark circles or under-eye puffiness. Pigmentation, visible vessels, volume loss and fat bags have different causes and may require other approaches.
Rejuran for acne scars
Polynucleotides may be included in a plan to improve skin quality and texture in some cases with acne scars. However, atrophic scars are not all the same, and Rejuran does not eliminate them completely.
Other methods may be needed depending on the type and depth of scars. For more pronounced scars, you may also be assessed for CO2 laser treatment or a combined plan once active acne is under control.
What does Rejuran treatment not do?
Rejuran does not add volume like fillers, change contours or relax the muscles that create expression wrinkles. It does not replace a surgical facelift or completely remove deep acne scars. Pigmentation and dark circles have different causes and may require another treatment; results remain individual.
The consultation helps clarify whether your concern relates to skin quality or requires another treatment.
How is Rejuran treatment performed?
01
Consultation and assessment
The consultation assesses your skin, areas of concern and desired results. Previous treatments, allergies, medications, illnesses, pregnancy or breastfeeding and any previous reaction to injectable procedures are discussed.
It is important to disclose any known allergy, including allergies to fish or ingredients in injectable products, as well as active infection, recurrent herpes, clotting disorders or medicines affecting bleeding. This information helps assess product suitability. Do not stop any prescribed medication without consulting the prescribing doctor.
02
During the procedure
The skin is cleansed and disinfected. Rejuran is placed through small injections at points selected according to the area and protocol. A method to reduce discomfort may be used when appropriate.
During injection, you may feel pricking, pressure or brief burning. Small papules at the injection points, redness or mild swelling may appear immediately after the procedure.
03
After the procedure
After treatment, you will receive tailored skin-care instructions. Papules, redness, tenderness or bruising are usually temporary, but their duration varies according to the area, technique and individual response.
Plan the procedure knowing that injection marks may be visible for a short period.
Is Rejuran painful?
Rejuran involves several microinjections and may cause discomfort. Sensitivity varies from person to person, and some areas, particularly around the eyes, may be more sensitive.
Discomfort management may be discussed during the consultation. The aim is to perform the procedure carefully without downplaying the fact that it is an injectable treatment.
How many Rejuran sessions are needed?
There is no universal number of sessions for every patient. The plan depends on the formulation used, area, skin condition, goal and individual response.
Some protocols include an initial course followed by reassessment or maintenance. The number and intervals are determined only once the suitable product and protocol have been selected for you.
When are results visible?
Rejuran does not immediately change the shape of the face. Improvements, when they occur, develop gradually over the weeks and months after treatment.
Changes in texture, elasticity, hydration or the appearance of fine lines may be assessed. Standardised photographs taken in the same lighting and position help track progress more objectively.
Results and their duration vary. Daily care, sun protection, smoking, environmental exposure and natural ageing affect skin quality.
Rejuran aftercare
Do not touch, press or massage the injection points, and keep the skin clean. Restart makeup as instructed. Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, heat, irritating products and other procedures in the area for the advised period. Use sun protection and contact the clinic if symptoms worsen.
Do not apply ice, creams, acids or other products without guidance because care may vary according to the area and skin response.
Side effects and risks
Papules or visible marks, redness, swelling, tenderness, stinging, itching and bruising may occur after injection. Swelling may also cause temporary asymmetry. The reaction and settling time vary.
Less commonly, infection, prolonged inflammation, an allergic reaction, lumps, pigment changes or other injection-related complications may occur.
Contact the clinic immediately if you have severe or increasing pain, blanching or an unusual change in skin colour, spreading redness, discharge, fever, difficulty breathing, vision changes or another concerning symptom.
Who may be a candidate for Rejuran?
Rejuran may be considered for adults who want to improve skin quality without adding volume or changing facial features.
Treatment may be postponed or not recommended in the presence of infection, irritation, inflammation or product allergy. Disclose pregnancy or breastfeeding, clotting disorders, medications, autoimmune diseases and uncontrolled conditions. A history of serious reactions to injections requires specific assessment.
Suitability is determined after individual assessment and according to the information for the product to be used.
Rejuran or Skin Booster?
Rejuran and skin boosters may share the goal of improving skin quality, but they are not the same procedure. Rejuran is based on polynucleotides, while many skin boosters use hyaluronic acid and mainly target hydration.
The choice depends on skin condition, area and desired results. Learn more about Skin Booster treatment or discuss during the consultation which option best matches your goals.
Rejuran or fillers?
Dermal fillers are usually used to add or restore volume, support contours and correct specific areas. Rejuran mainly targets skin quality and does not create the same volumising effect.
If the main concern is volume loss, Rejuran may not be the right option. In some cases, the procedures may form part of the same plan, but timing and order are determined individually.
Rejuran or PRP?
Rejuran uses a manufactured product with purified polynucleotides. PRP is prepared from the patient’s own blood and contains platelet-rich plasma. Their composition, preparation and protocols differ.
Neither treatment is automatically better for everyone. The decision depends on the area, skin quality, history and individual preferences.
