Acne can leave behind small pits, rolling dips and textured patches long after breakouts have cleared. Rejuran S is the scar-oriented member of the Rejuran line, with a formulation intended for these indented areas rather than for general glow. At our Myeongdong dermatology clinic, physicians consider it as one tool within a broader scar plan. It can be used on its own for mild scarring or alongside energy-based treatments when scars are deeper or more widespread.
How Rejuran S approaches acne scars
Most acne scars are depressions caused by collagen damage during deep inflammation. Rejuran S delivers polynucleotides into and around those depressions to support the local healing environment and encourage new tissue. The goal is to soften the edges of scars so they catch less light and shadow.
Unlike a filler, it does not simply prop up a dent with gel. Changes develop over weeks and months as the skin responds. That makes Rejuran S a treatment for patient people rather than for a quick before-the-party fix.
Rejuran S price in Myeongdong
Rejuran S at Val:U starts from KRW 150,000 before 10% VAT. Scar treatment is highly individual, so the final cost depends on how many areas are involved, how much product is used and whether it is paired with another procedure.
The physician will map your scars first and explain the likely number of sessions. Ask for the full plan and estimated total so you can budget across a single trip or several visits.
Photographs under consistent lighting are helpful for tracking scar changes, because improvement is gradual and easy to overlook day to day. If you agree, the clinic can take reference images at your first visit for comparison at later sessions.
Which scars respond, and which may need something else?
Scar type strongly influences what works. A careful examination under angled light helps the doctor tell them apart.
- Rolling scars: broad, soft dips that often respond reasonably to regenerative injections
- Shallow boxcar scars: may improve, especially when combined with resurfacing
- Deep icepick scars: usually need targeted methods beyond injections alone
- Raised or keloid scars: a different category that Rejuran S is not designed for
- Red or brown marks after acne: pigment issues better suited to toning lasers
Combining Rejuran S with Potenza or Pico Fraxel
Many scar plans layer several treatments. Microneedle radiofrequency such as Potenza or fractional lasers such as Pico Fraxel create controlled micro-injuries that prompt remodeling, while Rejuran S supports the repair environment. Some physicians use them in the same session; others alternate them over time.
There is no single correct formula. Your skin type, scar depth, sensitivity to pigmentation and available downtime all shape the plan. Expect gradual, partial improvement rather than completely smooth skin; even well-planned scar treatment rarely erases every mark.
Side effects and aftercare
Small bumps along the treated areas, redness, swelling and pinpoint bruises are common and generally settle within a few days. Uncommon risks include lumps, infection, pigment change or allergic reaction; tell the doctor about any fish allergy, since PN is salmon-derived. Active acne in the area may need to be calmed first.
Keep the skin clean, avoid picking, skip saunas and intense exercise for a day or two, and protect the area from sun. If combined with a laser, follow the stricter aftercare of the two procedures.

Frequently asked questions
How many Rejuran S sessions are needed for acne scars?
It varies widely. Mild rolling scars may show improvement after a few sessions, while deeper or mixed scars typically need a longer plan and often other treatments too. Sessions are commonly spaced several weeks apart. The physician can estimate a range after examining your scars in person.
Can Rejuran S completely remove acne scars?
Complete removal is not a realistic expectation for most acne scars. The aim is to make them softer and less noticeable. The degree of change depends on scar type, depth, skin type and how your skin heals. Your doctor will describe what improvement looks like for your specific scars.
Is Rejuran S different from regular Rejuran?
Yes. Both use polynucleotides, but Rejuran S is formulated and applied with scars in mind, often placed more precisely into depressed areas. Regular Rejuran is used more broadly across the face for overall skin quality. The doctor will choose based on whether scarring or general texture is your main concern.
Can I have Rejuran S while I still get breakouts?
Active, inflamed acne near the injection site is usually treated first, because injecting through inflamed skin can raise infection risk. The doctor may suggest acne care such as extraction or inflammation injections before starting a scar program, and may review your skincare and any medications you use.
What does Rejuran S feel like?
Numbing cream is applied first, but scar tissue can feel firmer and the injections may sting or feel like pressure. Most people find it tolerable. The session is fairly short, and the doctor can pause if you need a break. Mild tenderness afterward is common.
