The eye area is the first place on the face to show age. Crow’s feet, lower lid fine lines, periorbital dullness, and early tear trough hollowing — these changes often appear simultaneously yet are typically managed only with eye creams, which deliver limited improvement to the dermal layer where the real changes occur. Rejuran periorbital PDRN injections deliver polynucleotides directly into the dermis around the eye, activating cellular repair, stimulating collagen synthesis, and visibly improving skin quality at the source.
Why the Eye Area Ages Fastest
- Eyelid skin is just 0.3–0.5mm thick — the thinnest skin on the face
- ~12,000 blinks per day create constant mechanical stress
- Few sebaceous glands → poor natural moisture retention → rapid dehydration
- Orbicularis oculi muscle atrophy → drooping outer corners, deepening crow’s feet
How Rejuran PDRN Works Around the Eyes
Rejuran’s active ingredient PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide) is derived from salmon DNA and is highly biocompatible with human tissue. When injected into periorbital dermis:
- Activates fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin
- Increases dermal hydration, restoring fullness and plumpness
- Improves microcirculation, reducing pigmentation-based dark circles
- Repairs damaged cellular structures, gradually reducing fine line depth
Rejuran Healer vs. Rejuran I (Eye-Specific Formula)
Rappoel selects the optimal formulation for each patient’s periorbital condition. Rejuran I is specifically designed for the eye area — lower viscosity, finer molecular structure — suitable for the delicate micro-injection technique required around the eyes.
Treatment Process
- Consultation: Assessment of fine line depth, dark circle type, and presence of tear troughs
- Anesthesia: Topical numbing cream for 20–30 minutes
- Injection: Micro-droplet technique at multiple points around crow’s feet and lower lid; ~15–20 minutes
- Post-treatment: Small injection points visible, absorbing naturally within 24 hours
Recommended Course
Initial course: 3 sessions, 4 weeks apart. Maintenance every 3–6 months thereafter. Visible improvement in fine lines and periorbital skin quality typically appears after the 2nd or 3rd session.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Q1: Is bruising common with periorbital Rejuran injections?
- Mild bruising occurs in approximately 20–30% of cases due to the vascularity of the eye area, typically resolving in 3–5 days. Avoid aspirin, fish oil, and blood thinners for 1 week before treatment.
- Q2: Can Rejuran improve dark circles under the eyes?
- Effective for pigmentation-type dark circles (dullness/discoloration). Vascular dark circles (caused by visible blood vessels) require additional treatment such as laser; Rejuran alone provides limited improvement for this type.
- Q3: What’s the difference between Rejuran and hyaluronic acid tear trough filler?
- Rejuran improves skin quality and fine lines (regenerative). HA filler corrects the structural depth of the tear trough (volumizing). They are frequently combined for complementary results.
- Q4: How soon will I see results from periorbital Rejuran?
- Skin quality improvement is perceptible 2–4 weeks after the first injection. After a full 3-session course, fine line reduction is visible, with effects lasting approximately 6 months.
- Q5: Can I wear contact lenses on the day of treatment?
- Remove contact lenses before treatment. Wear glasses for the first 24 hours post-treatment; resume contact lens use once confirmed comfortable.
- Q6: How do I book a periorbital Rejuran consultation at Rappoel?
- 3-minute walk from Gangnam Station Exit 10 (77 Seocho-daero, 24F, 5F). Book via WeChat (rappoelkr) or Line (rappoelkr) — Mandarin consultation available.
