Rejuran, a regenerative skin rejuvenation treatment, has gained significant popularity due to its ability to address skin quality, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and promote overall skin health. While the concept of injecting substances into the skin may seem daunting, Rejuran is a relatively simple procedure.

How to reduce pain with Rejuran

One of the key factors contributing to the comfort of Rejuran treatments is the use of numbing. There are various ways to do this, with most clinics relying on topical creams to reduce the sensation of the needles. However, numbing cream alone may not be sufficient at controlling pain enough for people to tolerate the procedure.

There are various other techniques that can notably reduce the pain of Rejuran. Depending on your suitability, a combination of local anaesthetic injections, or even mixing Rejuran with anaesthetic may be used. Certain treatments may also be done using blunt instruments. Known as cannulae, these allow Rejuran to be placed beneath the skin with fewer injections.

Individual pain tolerate

While the majority of patients report slight discomfort during Rejuran treatments, it’s important to note that individual pain tolerance can vary. Some individuals may be more sensitive to the treatment than others. However, the use of good anaesthetic and the skill of the administering practitioner can reduce discomfort.

Factors affecting pain perception during Rejuran

  • Treatment area: The sensitivity of the treated area can influence the level of discomfort. Some areas, such as the lip region, may be more sensitive than others.
  • Number of injections: The number of injections required can also affect the overall pain experience.
  • Provider skill: A skilled practitioner can minimise pain by using precise techniques and ensuring the injections are administered smoothly.
  • Numbing: This has the biggest impact on the experience of pain during Rejuran.

Comparison to other treatments

Compared to other treatments, Rejuran is generally considered more uncomfortable. For this reason, good pre-injection numbing is an important step in every Rejuran treatment. With this approach, most people find Rejuran to be tolerable.
