Rejuran vs Rejuran HB,

Is the effect different as much as the price difference?

As spring comes, suddenly

you start paying attention to

certain things.

Skin texture, hydration,

and lately, what has noticeably

increased in inquiries

is Rejuran HB.

Today is a full price summary

of Rejuran HB.

How it differs from

regular Rejuran,

and whether the cost difference

actually leads to better results—

let's look at it together.

Q. Is Rejuran HB

more effective than regular Rejuran?

A. Since the goals are different,

it's not "better,"

it's "different."

I'll explain below.

Q. Is it true that in the Hongdae/Hapjeong area

there aren't many places

where you can get Rejuran HB?

A. There are not many places that offer it.

I'll also share selection criteria.

First, we need to clarify

what Rejuran HB is

Rejuran is based on

PDRN (polynucleotide) extracted from salmon.

It helps cell regeneration, reduces inflammation,

and is used to restore skin elasticity.

Rejuran HB takes this

one step further.

It is a formulation additionally combined with

HA (hyaluronic acid).

In other words, it is a combination product

that adds the moisturizing function of hyaluronic acid

to the regenerative effects of PDRN.

What makes this a bit tricky is,

"Then if I just get Rejuran HB,

doesn't that solve everything?"

I get this question a lot.

But there is one important point here.

The amount of HA in Rejuran HB

is not enough to add volume like a filler.

It's a concentration that

improves the moisture environment within the dermis.

It varies by case,

but I usually explain it like this:

"Rejuran HB is suitable for people who lack moisture

and feel their skin is dry,

but if the main goal is reduced elasticity or regeneration,

regular Rejuran

or Rejuran Healer is better."

Rejuran HB price,

how much is it actually?

To be honest,

it varies quite a bit by clinic.

Since this is an uninsured procedure in Korea,

there is no fixed standard.

In my experience, in Seoul

this is roughly the range.

Rejuran Healer (regular):

KRW 150,000–250,000

(PDRN only, focused on regeneration/elasticity)

Rejuran HB:

KRW 250,000–400,000

(PDRN+HA combination, hydration+regeneration)

Rejuran Eye:

KRW 200,000–350,000

(special formulation for eye area, lower viscosity)

The downside is the cost ^^..

Compared with regular Rejuran,

Rejuran HB is 1.5–2 times more expensive.

Because it's a combination formulation with added HA,

the base cost itself is higher.

Still, for improving hydration,

rather than receiving water-glow injections or skin boosters

separately,

Rejuran HB can cover both at once,

so in that sense, cost-efficiency isn't bad.

Director Wi Young-jin's practical notes:

Rejuran HB is effective for moisture-deficient skin,

but that doesn't mean it's always better.

Because it contains HA, swelling or redness

can sometimes last a bit longer

than with regular Rejuran.

In my experience, for about 3–5 days after treatment,

needle marks or mild swelling may remain,

and people with thinner skin, in particular,

tended to react more sensitively.

I always mention

this part in advance.

If you have an important event,

it's better to get it at least a week beforehand.

One thing I must emphasize:

rather than expecting dramatic change

from just one Rejuran HB session,

when you receive it consistently 3–4 times,

changes in skin texture and hydration

become noticeably visible.

Rejuran HB,

who is it suitable for,

and who is it not suitable for?

This is something many people misunderstand:

Rejuran HB is not better than

regular Rejuran for every skin type.

I usually recommend Rejuran HB

for people like this.

1. Skin that often feels

dry and tight

1. People whose inner dryness doesn't improve

even when applying moisturizing cream

1. People concerned about fine lines,

especially on the cheeks and around the eyes

1. People who want to address skin regeneration

and hydration at the same time

On the other hand, in these cases, regular Rejuran

or another treatment may be better.

1. People whose main concern is loss of elasticity and sagging

→ Rejuran Healer is more suitable

1. Goal is acne scar improvement

→ Consider Rejuran alone or other combined procedures

1. Skin already has sufficient moisture

and regeneration is the main goal

→ HB's advantages are reduced

This is a bit difficult, but

without directly assessing the skin condition,

it's hard to definitively say

"this is better."

If you choose only by comparing prices without consultation,

you may end up far from your desired results.

Key summary:

Rejuran HB suits combined goals of hydration + regeneration,

and although the price is 1.5–2 times that of regular Rejuran,

it is sufficiently efficient when matched to the right purpose.

What to check when getting

Rejuran HB in Hongdae/Hapjeong

I also get inquiries from the Sinchon or Ewha area

from time to time,

but based on the main Hapjeong/Hongdae commercial area,

clinics that offer Rejuran HB

are fewer than you might think.

There are a few check points

that I consider important.

1. Whether the doctor performs the procedure directly

   
   
   

With Rejuran HB, injection depth and interval

have a decisive impact on results.

If less experienced medical staff

perform it only by manual,

these details can easily break down.

In the end, with injectable procedures,

the practitioner's delicate hand skills and

extensive experience determine the quality.

1. Whether genuine products are used

   
   
   

For Rejuran HB, officially approved domestic products and

non-approved similar products are mixed in the market.

At the first consultation,

it's good to verify product information directly.

1. Whether there is a plan for

   procedure intervals and number of sessions

   
   
   

It should be a place that informs you from the start

that this is not a one-and-done treatment.

At first I also wondered if this was right,

but only after hundreds of cases

did I realize something.

If hydration improvement is the goal, rather than Rejuran HB alone,

designing combination treatments based on skin condition

is often much more efficient.

Frequently asked questions

Q1. Rejuran HB and water-glow injections,

what's the difference?

A. Water-glow injections (skin-booster type)

directly supply HA to the skin

for immediate hydration, whereas

Rejuran HB has PDRN as the main ingredient,

targeting both cell regeneration and moisturization.

For speed of visible effect,

water-glow injections are faster,

while for durability and skin quality improvement,

Rejuran HB tends to have a better cumulative effect.

Q2. Rejuran HB

How long does one session last?

A. In my experience, after one session,

the perceived duration is about 4–6 weeks.

After consistently receiving 3–4 sessions,

if your skin's own moisture-retention improves,

you can extend maintenance intervals afterward.

If you expect long-lasting effects

from the beginning, you may be disappointed.

Q3. On the day of the procedure,

can I wear makeup?

A. It's better to

avoid makeup on the same day.

Since needles are involved, right after the procedure

the skin barrier is temporarily open.

Usually makeup is possible from the next day,

and gentle sunscreen

from about 4–5 hours later

is what we generally advise.
