Aftercare is a key part of achieving the best results & benefits from Rejuran treatment. Following proper post-treatment guidelines ensures optimal recovery and maximises the regenerative effects on your skin.
Immediate care after treatment
- Avoid touching or rubbing the treated area for at least 24 hours to reduce the risk of irritation and infection.
- Cold compresses for 20 minutes per hour can help reduce swelling and redness, and are beneficial for the first 72 hours.
- Keep the area clean, gently cleansing with mild products.
- Avoid makeup for the first 24 hours to allow the skin to heal.
What to avoid after Rejuran
Excessive sun exposure
Protecting your skin from excessive sun exposure is essential after Rejuran treatment. Sunlight can accelerate the aging process and potentially reduce the effectiveness of the treatment. Always wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF to shield your skin from harmful UV rays.
Strenuous activities
Avoid strenuous physical activity for a few days following Rejuran treatment. Intense exercise can increase blood flow to the treated area and may lead to increased swelling or bruising. Gentle activities, such as walking or light yoga, are generally acceptable.
Heat exposure
Excessive heat exposure, including saunas, hot tubs, and hot showers, should be avoided for a few days after Rejuran. Heat can dilate blood vessels and increase the risk of swelling or bruising.
Blood-thinning supplements
If possible, avoid taking blood-thinning supplements for a few days before and after Rejuran treatment. These can increase the risk of bruising and bleeding. Of course, do not stop them if you are taking them for a medical condition.
Touching or massaging the treated area
Avoid touching or massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours after the procedure. This can help prevent irritation and reduce the risk of infection.
Harsh skincare products
Refrain from using harsh or abrasive skincare products on the treated area for a few days. Opt for gentle, soothing products that won’t irritate the skin.
Makeup
It’s generally recommended to avoid applying makeup to the treated area for at least 24 hours after Rejuran. This will allow the skin to heal without irritation.
Smoking and alcohol
Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can impair the healing process and reduce the effectiveness of Rejuran treatment. It’s advisable to avoid these habits for a few days after the procedure.
Other skin treatments
Avoid facials, peels, or laser treatments on the treated area because the can cause local irritation and delay healing. Treatments for wrinkles and facial volume are usually ok.

Managing temporary effects
You may notice small bumps, mild redness, or slight swelling at injection sites. These effects are normal and usually resolve within 12–36 hours. Cold compresses can help, and most patients can resume normal activities within a day.
- Lumps or small bumps: Only visible with microinjection techniques and resolve naturally; do not massage. Treatment lumps are only one of the things to consider when choosing which Rejuran injection technique is right for you.
- Redness or mild bruising: Can be managed with a cold compress or covered with gentle concealer after 24 hours if desired
- Swelling: Usually subsides within a day; cold compresses can help
Understanding the Rejuran day-by-day recovery process can help you prepare for treatment.
Skincare after Rejuran
- Sunscreen: Essential to protect skin and maintain results. Try to apply twice during the day.
- Avoid retinol or active exfoliants for a few days
- Hydration: Continue using moisturisers to support skin recovery
Follow-up treatments
Rejuran results develop gradually over weeks as collagen production and tissue regeneration occur. Most patients benefit from multiple sessions spaced a few weeks apart to achieve and maintain optimal results. Your practitioner will advise on the appropriate schedule for your needs.
