Acne scars often leave a lasting impact on skin texture and appearance, affecting self-confidence for many individuals. Rejuran S is a specialized treatment formulated to target acne scars by enhancing the skin’s natural healing processes and promoting regeneration at a cellular level.
Using a polynucleotide-based formula, Rejuran S works to repair damaged skin tissue, stimulate collagen production, and improve overall skin texture. This approach provides a focused treatment solution for individuals looking for long-term improvements in the appearance of acne scars.
By boosting fibroblast activity, Rejuran S encourages collagen synthesis, which improves skin elasticity and smooths scarred areas.
Polynucleotides enhance skin cell turnover and repair, allowing damaged tissue to be replaced with healthier, more resilient skin.
Rejuran S strengthens the extracellular matrix, helping to restore skin volume and reduce the visibility of scars.
The targeted action of Rejuran S ensures effective treatment of various types of acne scars, including rolling scars and boxcar scars, leading to gradual yet noticeable improvements in skin texture and appearance.
Acne scars form because of severe acne that causes damage to the skin's deeper layers. When the skin’s healing process is disrupted or inadequate due to lack of collagen, it can lead to the formation of scars. These scars vary in appearance and depth depending on the severity of acne and the skin’s response to inflammation.
Rolling scars are characterized by broad, shallow indentations with sloping edges. These scars give the skin a wavy or uneven texture, often making them noticeable under certain lighting. Rolling scars are typically caused by prolonged inflammation and damage to the skin's underlying support structures.
Boxcar scars are broader depressions with well-defined edges. They resemble small craters or rectangular indentations and are caused by the loss of collagen and tissue due to acne inflammation. Boxcar scars are usually more prominent and harder to conceal.
Ice pick scars are narrow, deep scars that appear as small, pinpoint holes in the skin. They are often the result of severe acne cysts or infections that extend deep into the skin layers, creating a pitted appearance.
Unlike the other types, hypertrophic scars are raised and develop above the surface of the skin. These scars form when the skin produces excessive collagen during the healing process.
Rejuran S is effective for addressing scars such as rolling and boxcar scars. By stimulating collagen production and promoting skin repair, Rejuran S helps improve the texture and appearance of these scars, leading to smoother and healthier-looking skin.
Subcision is a minimally invasive procedure that involves using a fine needle to release fibrous bands tethering the skin to underlying tissue. These bands cause depressed scars, such as rolling and boxcar scars. By breaking them, subcision allows the skin to lift and smooth over time.
Subcision addresses the structural cause of depressed scars by physically releasing the scar tissue. Rejuran S complements this by promoting collagen production and skin regeneration, filling in the scars and improving overall skin quality. This combination enhances results by tackling both the physical and biological aspects of scarring.
In a combined treatment session, each scar is treated using a precise, two-step process. A fine needle is first inserted into the scar to perform subcision, releasing the fibrous bands tethering the skin. Before the needle is withdrawn, Rejuran S is injected into the same site.
This 2-in-1 treatment ensures that each scar is addressed with both subcision and Rejuran S in a single insertion. By targeting each scar with just one injection, this approach reduces overall discomfort and minimizes downtime compared to performing the treatments separately. Patients benefit from both immediate structural improvement through subcision and long-term healing and collagen stimulation from Rejuran S, all in one efficient procedure.
The treatment begins with a detailed consultation to evaluate your skin condition and the types of acne scars present, such as rolling or boxcar scars. Your doctor will discuss your treatment goals and determine if a combined approach using Rejuran S and subcision is suitable for your needs. A personalized treatment plan is then developed.
Before the procedure, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed and disinfected to remove makeup, dirt, and oils. A topical numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort during the treatment, ensuring a more comfortable experience. For patients who require additional pain management, nerve blocks can be administered to numb the treatment area further, offering enhanced comfort during the procedure.
Each scar is treated with a 2-in-1 technique. A fine needle is inserted to release fibrous bands (subcision) and, before being withdrawn, Rejuran S is injected into the same site. This combined approach addresses scar structure and promotes collagen production in one step. The procedure typically takes 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the number and severity of scars, reducing discomfort and downtime by minimizing injections.
After the procedure, you may experience mild redness, swelling, bruising, or small bumps at the treatment sites. These effects are temporary and typically subside within 5 to 7 days. Your doctor will provide specific post-treatment care instructions, such as avoiding sun exposure, refraining from strenuous activities, and using gentle skincare products to support the healing process. Following these guidelines helps ensure optimal recovery and results.
Rejuran S for acne scars typically requires multiple sessions for optimal results, as the treatment works by stimulating natural skin repair and collagen production over time.
Most patients undergo Rejuran S treatments every 4 to 6 weeks. This interval allows the skin to heal and regenerate between sessions, ensuring the best outcomes without overwhelming the skin's repair processes.
The number of sessions needed depends on the severity and type of acne scars. On average, 3 to 5 sessions are recommended to achieve noticeable improvements. For deeper or more stubborn scars, additional sessions may be required.
The exact treatment plan varies for each individual, based on factors such as skin type, scar depth, and treatment goals. During the consultation, our doctors will create a tailored protocol to meet your specific needs.
Rejuran S is a minimally invasive treatment with a good safety profile, but like any medical procedure, it comes with potential risks and side effects. Understanding these helps patients make informed decisions and prepare for the treatment process.
Rejuran S provides gradual and lasting improvements in the appearance of acne scars, with key results including:
As collagen production increases, the skin becomes firmer and scars appear less noticeable.
Rolling and boxcar scars become shallower, improving overall skin uniformity.
Rejuran S boosts elasticity and skin quality, resulting in healthier-looking skin.
Most patients notice visible improvements after 2-3 sessions, with optimal results achieved after completing the full treatment plan of 3-5 sessions. Continued collagen stimulation ensures long-term enhancements, making Rejuran S a reliable option for lasting scar reduction.
Patients are encouraged to follow the recommended treatment schedule and post-care advice for the best outcomes.
Visible improvements typically begin after the first treatment whilst more obvious results can be seen after 2 to 3 treatment sessions. This is because Rejuran S stimulates collagen production, which takes time to repair and regenerate skin tissue. Results become more prominent after completing the full treatment protocol of 3 to 5 sessions, with continued enhancements in skin texture and scar reduction over the following months as collagen remodeling progresses.
Rejuran S is effective for atrophic scars, such as rolling and boxcar scars, which respond well to its collagen-stimulating properties. For more challenging scars, like ice pick scars or raised hypertrophic scars, your doctor may recommend combining Rejuran S with additional treatments such as Sylfirm, CO2 fractional laser therapy, or other scar-specific procedures to maximize results.
Discomfort during Rejuran S treatment is minimal, thanks to the application of a topical numbing cream beforehand. During the injections, patients may feel slight pressure or a mild pinching sensation. If subcision is included, there may be a brief tugging or pulling sensation as the fibrous scar tissue is released.
For patients concerned about discomfort, nerve blocks can be administered to further reduce sensation in the treated areas. This additional step helps ensure a more comfortable experience, particularly for those undergoing more extensive treatment sessions. Most patients find the procedure tolerable with these pain management measures in place.
Downtime typically lasts 5 to 7 days. During this time, common side effects include mild redness, swelling, small bumps at the injection sites, or bruising from subcision. These effects gradually subside on their own. By following post-treatment care instructions, such as avoiding sun exposure and using gentle skincare products, patients can minimize downtime and support faster recovery.
Rejuran S is generally safe, using biocompatible polynucleotides derived from salmon DNA. Common side effects, such as redness, swelling, or bruising, are temporary and resolve within a few days. Rare risks include infection or allergic reactions, which can be avoided with proper pre- and post-treatment care. Choosing a qualified and experienced doctor further reduces the likelihood of complications.
Rejuran S is suitable for individuals with atrophic acne scars, such as rolling or boxcar scars. It is ideal for those seeking gradual improvements in skin texture and quality with minimal downtime. Your doctor will assess your skin condition during a consultation to determine if Rejuran S is the right treatment for your needs.
