Rejuran & skin booster aftercare. Keep it simple.

The simplest rule is to wait until the next morning—about 12 to 24 hours. This avoids applying pigment, brushes or sponges over fresh injection points during the most sensitive period.

If any point is still oozing, crusted, very red or tender, wait longer. When you restart, wash your hands and use clean brushes or sponges. Apply lightly without pressing the bumps.

Leave the area alone for the first four hours. Later that day, if there is no active bleeding or oozing, wash with clean hands, lukewarm water and a mild fragrance-free cleanser.

Use light pressure. Do not scrub, exfoliate, use a cleansing device or drag a face cloth over the skin. Pat dry with a clean towel.

You do not need to keep your face completely dry, and you should not keep it deliberately wet or occluded. The tiny punctures begin sealing quickly, but there is no exact closure time that applies to every needle, treatment area and person.

A brief gentle cleanse is appropriate once there is no oozing. Pat dry afterwards. Avoid soaking, steam rooms, swimming and prolonged hot showers during the first 24 hours.

If the skin feels tight, a plain fragrance-free moisturiser can be used once the injection points are dry. Avoid heavily fragranced products and do not cover weeping points with thick occlusive creams unless your clinician advised it.

Use shade and a hat on treatment day. Broad-spectrum SPF 50+ can usually be applied the next morning, or once the entry points are closed and dry.

Pause retinoids, exfoliating acids, scrubs, benzoyl peroxide and other potentially irritating actives for about 48–72 hours and until redness or sensitivity has settled.

Not every vitamin C formula is irritating, but if it stings, leave it out. Restart products one at a time rather than returning to a full active routine immediately.

A brief lukewarm shower is usually fine. For 24 hours, avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, saunas, steam rooms, hot baths and other intense heat. These restrictions are precautionary and may help limit flushing, swelling and irritation.

Normal light activity is fine. If the treatment area is still very swollen or bruised the next day, ease back into exercise.

No—unless your treating clinician specifically asks you to. Small raised blebs are expected with superficial Rejuran or skin booster injections and usually flatten as the product disperses and swelling settles.

Do not squeeze, press or try to “smooth out” individual points. Aftercare for Rejuran is not the same as the massage routine used for some other injectable products.

Small bumps often flatten over the first day or two. Puffiness may be more noticeable the following morning, particularly around the eyes. Bruising can become clearer before it fades and may take several days.

A systematic review of polynucleotide studies described local pain, swelling, redness, itching, bruising and irritation as generally mild and transient, typically resolving within a week. Individual recovery varies.

Avoid facial massage, microneedling, waxing, peels, lasers and energy-based procedures until the skin has settled and your clinician has confirmed appropriate timing. One to two weeks is a common minimum interval, but combination plans and treatment areas differ.

Tell every practitioner what was injected, where and when before another procedure.

No special diet or extreme water intake is required. Eat normally and stay comfortably hydrated. Avoid starting supplements or medicines purely to prevent bruising without medical advice.

Do not stop prescribed aspirin, anticoagulants or other medicines unless the prescribing clinician tells you to.
