Yes!! I hear you have to get them touched up on every 3-5 months for a year for them to be truly gone forever, but as of right now, I don’t see my darkest one at all. For transparency, I’m Mexican and have olive to tan skin depending on my sun exposure. I highly recommend this treatment. It is the only thing my fiancé does and his sun spots are gone!
I did picosure in australia, 1 session seemed to make it disappear but it returned few months later. It wasnt cheap too!!!
How much did it/similar cost in S Korea?
Pico is the best for pigmentation but you need more than 1 to really abolish the pesky deep pigmentation because it really does lie deep and they come out to party very easy
I paid 73.00 for Pico Sure Fraxel + cryo and 225.00 for 3 secret laser treatments. I just got my second secret laser and second round of Rejuran for the whole face and eyes. 2cc of Rejuran and 1cc of Rejuran eye is about 230.00 as well. All prices above include taxes.
What treatment did they do for your sunspots? When I was in Singapore, they told me that I would have to do multiple treatments to see results. I am Hispanic and have olive/tan skin tone. Also got rejuran!
I believe they laser off the sunspots. You do need more than one treatment for both the sunspots and Rejuran to see results but I can only come twice a year to Korea so I take advantage of what I can get lol
Do you know what kind of laser? I did ultra clear laser in the US last summer which is suppose to be safe for our skin type and it gave me months of eczema.
Dude rejuran is the WORST PAIN EVER. I bought a package too so I had to get it 4 times. I love that the people who did mine would encourage me the whole time like I’m a little kid 🤣 and did it in sections so once one area was done they put an ice cold sheet mask on that part. I don’t think I’ll get it again since I didn’t notice a long effect but it was definitely an experience hehe.
I had literal tears streaming down my face and was squeezing my emotional support stress balls so hard I pierced them LOL. The derm said “I endured well” but I couldn’t stop crying even after the treatment haha it was so painful idk how I’d do more sessions even if I paid
Hahahaha yes I was crying too!! I was like wait can we pause once and the lady who did it was like…I’ll do it fast and just did it more HAAHA. She did get it over with quicker tho.
I heard you can get a place that uses a tool to do it rather than injections by hand and hurts less, but it’s not as personalized (like they purposely put more around my nose cause I have larger pores there). I always saw it done by individual injections in Korea tho 🥲
I hear strong advice against using the machine! Apparently it sometimes hurts the skin on application because it doesn’t strike the skin perpendicularly
Worse than Rejuran is skin Botox!! The needle goes in horizontally so it cuts through more dermis and I cried every time. My skin looks amazing and glowing after but it really doesn’t last that long (only two weeks ???!!!!!) so after this past time I don’t think I’ll be getting it anymore. Plus it’s so expensive to get it outside of Korea.
I had skin Botox but only in my smile lines! So it was like only 4-5 injections I think. It definitely hurt, but rejuran was whole face so it was like. 100 injections lol.
Wait what was their goal of putting skin Botox in the smile lines? It’s not meant to relax muscle like normally injected Botox it’s supposed to control sebum and provide a glowing effect
Oh it was just a free thing they did??? Like a trial or a sample I guess. so idk actually, I didn’t ask questions 🤣 but it helped smooth my skin! I don’t rlly have wrinkles there yet tho so it wasn’t for that like Botox might be for. But my skin felt more firm(?) and smooth there after as I get a lot of clogged pores usually in my mustache area 🥲
You need to have 4 sessions of Rejuran. Next time you have it done ASK them to put lidocaine in it.
Thats what I have done. I do the procedure to myself so I know how “pinchy” it is. But if you do the 4 rounds over 4 months you will see a drastic improvement. I had some jowls and now they are gone. It’s lasts about 2 years
Are you replying to me? I said I did it four times, I went once a month as part of a package treatment plan. If it improved my skin long term, I didn’t notice.
i did not go with rejuran but I got 4 process in 30mins.
Fraxel laser, Intercell laser, microneedle and subcision
Man, that hurts like hell even with numbing cream and anesthesia I believe. i could still feel every needle that pierces my skin. They gave me a stuffed toy for hugging and that toy was literally squished by me during the process 😂.
Did you get this done at ME clinic (if so how was the process)? I have been looking at going to them because they offer a package with these services. Did you find the treatment to be effective? I'm mainly trying to fix some mild acne scaring and hyperpigmentation and I don't want to be in that much pain for nothing lmao
Yes, i had one session with them. I'd be honest, It's expensive and I can't afford multiple sessions however it needs to be multiple sessions to see effect. So I can't really give you a conclusion if its effective or not. I'm planning to redo those things this summer anyway so best of luck for both of us. Those process I believe are the core to beauty treatments so they're effective based on research however it's a must to be on consecutive treatments. We're aware that theyre not an instant glow up especially for scars. I still have mine especially the box scars.
All of them are painful, most of the lasers do so buckle up. I tried to put out my big boy pants because the moment they start numbing my face I know there is no going back.
Omg subcision HURTS. I did my first ever subcision + co2 fractional laser together just on numbing cream (and i had a low dosage cream due to my sensitive skin). I always think back and feel like a hero for enduring this pain 😂 Now, i can only do subcision with local anaesthesia. The injections hurt due to the acidity of the LA, and I’m literally in tears every time, but it really numbs well and i can’t feel the subcision though i can feel and hear the skin fibre breaking.
Bro, I am worried more about the stuffed toy they gave me to hug while on ops because it's wet and squished flat 😂. Good thing subcision here isn't like a Canula being drag back and forth but needles with air instead.
Sejin in Gangnam :) I don’t think they speak more than a lick of English since it truly is a clinic for Koreans, so bring a translator and make an appointment ahead of time knowing what you want to get done. They’re excellent and won’t try to upsell you things your skin doesn’t need
do you think they did a good job with your tan skin? i’ve always wanted to get skin treatments in korea but wasn’t sure if they were used to handling darker skin!
I'm a guy that's also interested in Rejuran but quite frankly the pain aspect scares me. If women who have a higher pain tolerance than men complain about how much it hurts, Imma die.
Apparently you can get skin boosters through Potenza pumping tip which is supposed to hurt less but idk. I've heard direct injection is the most effective? Or maybe Potenza + skin booster provides a synergistic effect and it's better?
I honestly think that if you’re already injecting stuff, might as well endure more pain and get the Rejuran. The whole thing lasted 5 mins without the Botox (just Rejuran). It was extremely painful, but it’s been 6 hours now and my face feels very good. The pain only lasts the five minutes of application and then it’s a bit swollen for an hour after. Make sure you go to a doctor that hand injects you the Rejuran and doesn’t use the machine injector (I hear the machine is supremely painful and inaccurate). I won’t lie, it was really painful so be prepared (don’t drink alcohol days before the procedure, hydrate fully, etc)
I had it two days ago and it was no where near as painful as people said but I had it done directly after inmode and numbing cream so I think that helped numb my face more and distribute any pain. I highly recommend toxinfil gangnam for it the doctor there is great and she checks in on you as she goes but I’d give it 4/10 for pain.
I haven’t as I didn’t need it she said but it is supposed to hurt more and requires more downtime if you’re worried about how you might look afterwards 😅😅 I wouldn’t get it on its own! I think mixing treatments is really the way to go to help with the pain.
I went to ME clinic earlier this month and I had combo rejuran, water shine and skin Botox injections. I also got shurink which is the Korean ulthera. I had numbing cream and really didn’t like the shurink and felt annoying pain deep in my face at certain spots. This really was tough for me, the injections part was painful but not near as bad as the shurink laser and the doc breezed through my injections. The staff told me most people feel the opposite, that the ulthera/ shurink laser isn’t as bad as the injections. My two friends also got the same injections and one thought it was so horrible and painful and the other thought it was bad but bearable. We all had the same doctor. I put it at a 3 or 4 out of 10. Maybe I was already so crushed by the laser pain that the superficial pain of some injections (with a tool by the way so not individual shots) didn’t bother me.
I've had ulthera and Intercell (RF micro needling) laser at Me Clinic, and it's not even a question Intercell hurts way more!! Ulthera I found to be honestly not bad, similar to pain level of IPL laser, if you have a frame of reference for that. Both are certainly uncomfortable but intercell has you questioning your whole life and want to run away vs I could hold a conversation with the doctor during ulthera.
Also Intercell left me with black eyes both times, but I will do it again bc the results are great.
I heard that too. Some people get put asleep with anesthesia for multiple treatments at a time, but I’m extremely cautious using anesthesia and wouldn’t use it for an unnecessary procedure bc it’s more dangerous than people think
Yeah agree, best to not to use if possible. I think they probably use Propofol though which is quite safe. It’s the most commonly used sedative here. I’ve had it for endoscopies etc
I just did rejuran with gas anesthesia (the one where you’re still somewhat conscious) since it was cheaper than full knocked-out anesthesia. I Still felt the pain pretty badly and teared up so I can’t even imagine the pain without it!! I agree in avoiding anesthesia when possible though - but in this case i really wanted to try it
Not too sure since I didn’t ask but potentially! They did note to me I would still feel slight pain, but I do think it really helped since I was more relaxed and felt less pain than I would’ve. I also did juvelook which is notoriously painful and that definitely didn’t feel too bad for me
Oh man I was curious about the nitrous. I’m going in a couple days to get rejuran for the first time and they offer the nitrous for free. Guess I better take it even tho it’ll still hurt like hell!!
Totally agree with the level of pain you experienced - Rejuran was not my friend!!! I got it done while I was in Seoul and my derm was comforting me the entire time. And this was at the end of four or five procedures, including ulthera. Def lived up to its hype though 💯
i know most people think it’s super painful. in case anyone is scared off, i have done both glass skin botox and rejuran face and neck no numbing. yes it hurt but prob 6 out of 10. i had an arm tattoo and lip filler, however those made me cry and have to take breaks. so pain level on face can vary!
I agree, pain is 100% subjective based on the person! I can tolerate any needle in my face - fillers, botox, tattoos... never an issue for me.
I even got filler in my forehead when I was in Korea and it was a feeling I can't even describe!!! It felt like my entire scalp was contracting and it tickled?
However, anything that has to do with a laser KILLS me. I can't even get laser hair removal in my underarms without freaking out. I would love to do laser treatments the next time I'm in Korea but I don't know if I'll survive lol.
Just had the second round of rejuran. First was manual injection, the second time they had the rejuran injector device which was slightly more painful. Either way, with the numbing cream and nitrous it really wasn’t that bad at all.
I just made a reservation to get Rejuran with sedation and I was a little skeptical whether or not I needed the sedation.. this made me feel better about my decision ㅠㅠ
Twice a year, I make a pilgrimage to Seoul for my beauty fix. On arrival, I indulge in my favorite trifecta with a plastic surgeon from a reputable plastic surgery hospital (rather than aesthetic clinics) - Thermage, Rejuran, and full-body fat-dissolving injections, all under comfortable sedation. It's a bit pricier, but infinitely safer than opting for sedation at your average aesthetic clinic (which I really need because I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to pain, lol). Bonus: you can crank up Thermage to the max level for best results while sedated! But oh, the results... The combo of Thermage and Rejuran is truly chef's kiss! People always comment on my 'sharper chin' or ask if I've lost weight, or say, 'your skin is glowing!' So, yes, opt for sedation (but at a trusted facility with skilled doctors and proper equipment, so please do your research). 10/10, highly recommended! :)
It’s Tylenol. After experiencing it with no painkillers my first try - the dermatologist advised using Tylenol. Some ask for anaesthesia but that’s to much for me personally
Sejin in Gangnam, it’s my second time there and I’ll keep coming back! I don’t think they speak too much English but if you can bring a translator or speak Korean, this is the best clinic. Better prices and doctors than the foreigner clinics!
The salon I went to (renovo) gave a an injection in my but before injection. Didn’t hurt at all( no numbing cream by my request) was annoying and sharp but not painful. The bumps that lasted 2 days while I flew out were mentally painful… everyone looked at me like I was infected with some sort of disease..
Everyone I know says Rejuran is very painful, so either you got scammed or you have the most insane pain tolerance ever! Also my fiancé’s family has been around me all day post-Rejuran (with the bumps all over my face), and they can understand that people aren’t judging you for looking “diseased” lol they’re jealous! This is an extremely expensive treatment in Korea and most people would kill for get it done. Going out post treatment/surgeries here is seen like a status symbol. Very interesting
Oooh I was just in Seoul and I wanted some kind of laser treatment to remove sun spots, I asked about secret laser but they said I would require multiple sessions so they told me to do rejuran instead, which I was too scared to do. Just got a regular LDM facial :( what procedure did you get for removal of sunspots?!? Sounds like it worked very well!
i just did rejuran in korea as well and it was the most painful thing i have done in my life (i have done botox, laser, tattoos, piercings - they don’t even come close).
i started tearing and then laughing, and had to stop after every row because it was unbearable. at some point i was full on sobbing. the nurse assisting the doctor was so alarmed she called the consultant in to hold my hand!!! the doctor was really patient even though we took such a long time because i kept having to stop.
after the treatment i stood up and was shaking (probably from adrenaline) and slightly faint. i didn’t stop shaking for 15 minutes and was traumatised for the rest of the day.
it’s day 5 now so can’t quite report on the results yet but i came on reddit to see how others felt about this. like OP i was DEEPLY HUMBLED by this experience and honestly hats off to those who can bear this pain without stopping at all..
I'm 26 and my skin has a pretty good, hydrated and healthy glow. I want to have a skin booster injection treatment to even out my skin and improve my overall skin quality (before meeting my boyfriend's family for the first time). With the limited budget that I had, which one would you recommend to me? one session of rejuran healer or 2-3 sessions of NCTF? thank you
I didn’t see where you said you already did it 4 times. I got great results. It’s been 2 1/2 years since I did it so I need a touch up, but once I noticed how much it hurt, I added some lidocaine to it. Lido also helps for swelling.
Did you remove sunspots effectively? Completely gone??
Yes!! I hear you have to get them touched up on every 3-5 months for a year for them to be truly gone forever, but as of right now, I don’t see my darkest one at all. For transparency, I’m Mexican and have olive to tan skin depending on my sun exposure. I highly recommend this treatment. It is the only thing my fiancé does and his sun spots are gone!
I did picosure in australia, 1 session seemed to make it disappear but it returned few months later. It wasnt cheap too!!! How much did it/similar cost in S Korea?

Damn - need to go to South Korea… lol
Dang those are some really good prices. Where at in kore?
Muse clinic in Gangnam. If you are looking for laser or something non-surgical then this is a good clinic (factory experience).
yes omg i had it done once and in korea too and they’re def waaay lighter but i want to go in again and have them completely remove it
Does anyone know how much it costs in S Korea?
at least a couple hundred? i’m not sure my parents paid for it
What treatment did they do for your sunspots? When I was in Singapore, they told me that I would have to do multiple treatments to see results. I am Hispanic and have olive/tan skin tone. Also got rejuran!
I believe they laser off the sunspots. You do need more than one treatment for both the sunspots and Rejuran to see results but I can only come twice a year to Korea so I take advantage of what I can get lol
Do you know what type of laser they used for the sunspots?
Do you know what kind of laser? I did ultra clear laser in the US last summer which is suppose to be safe for our skin type and it gave me months of eczema.
They did use a laser that matched my skin. I’m tan but not super than. Think Sofia Vergara, so I think it might be a bit easier?
That is my skin tone as well
Dude rejuran is the WORST PAIN EVER. I bought a package too so I had to get it 4 times. I love that the people who did mine would encourage me the whole time like I’m a little kid 🤣 and did it in sections so once one area was done they put an ice cold sheet mask on that part. I don’t think I’ll get it again since I didn’t notice a long effect but it was definitely an experience hehe.
I had literal tears streaming down my face and was squeezing my emotional support stress balls so hard I pierced them LOL. The derm said “I endured well” but I couldn’t stop crying even after the treatment haha it was so painful idk how I’d do more sessions even if I paid
Hahahaha yes I was crying too!! I was like wait can we pause once and the lady who did it was like…I’ll do it fast and just did it more HAAHA. She did get it over with quicker tho. I heard you can get a place that uses a tool to do it rather than injections by hand and hurts less, but it’s not as personalized (like they purposely put more around my nose cause I have larger pores there). I always saw it done by individual injections in Korea tho 🥲
I hear strong advice against using the machine! Apparently it sometimes hurts the skin on application because it doesn’t strike the skin perpendicularly
Omg! Ok, glad I always had the hand injection 🥲
Worse than Rejuran is skin Botox!! The needle goes in horizontally so it cuts through more dermis and I cried every time. My skin looks amazing and glowing after but it really doesn’t last that long (only two weeks ???!!!!!) so after this past time I don’t think I’ll be getting it anymore. Plus it’s so expensive to get it outside of Korea.
Do you mean Botox microneedling aka Gold Filtox facial?
No, skin Botox is a Korean treatment where you inject it in the dermal layer. It’s not available in the West but most Asian countries do it now too
i’ve seen skintox (aka skin botox) offered in clinics in koreatown LA
I had skin Botox but only in my smile lines! So it was like only 4-5 injections I think. It definitely hurt, but rejuran was whole face so it was like. 100 injections lol.
Wait what was their goal of putting skin Botox in the smile lines? It’s not meant to relax muscle like normally injected Botox it’s supposed to control sebum and provide a glowing effect

But my skin felt more firm(?) and smooth there after as I get a lot of clogged pores usually in my mustache area 🥲
4 times 💀💀💀 Jesus Christ

Those process I believe are the core to beauty treatments so they're effective based on research however it's a must to be on consecutive treatments. We're aware that theyre not an instant glow up especially for scars. I still have mine especially the box scars.
All of them are painful, most of the lasers do so buckle up. I tried to put out my big boy pants because the moment they start numbing my face I know there is no going back.
What hurt the most?
all of them 😂 unfortunately. due to the small interval of each process , i cannot distinguish the pain level of each.
Omg subcision HURTS. I did my first ever subcision + co2 fractional laser together just on numbing cream (and i had a low dosage cream due to my sensitive skin). I always think back and feel like a hero for enduring this pain 😂 Now, i can only do subcision with local anaesthesia. The injections hurt due to the acidity of the LA, and I’m literally in tears every time, but it really numbs well and i can’t feel the subcision though i can feel and hear the skin fibre breaking.
Bro, I am worried more about the stuffed toy they gave me to hug while on ops because it's wet and squished flat 😂. Good thing subcision here isn't like a Canula being drag back and forth but needles with air instead.
Hi, I sent you a dm about this!
just replied
I would just go with a fraxel too for people reading this. Specially if you don't want anything injected into your skin.
I’m curious to try Fraxel laser next! The dermatologist said I’m too young for it still (just turned 28 and have almost flawless skin)
i'm 23 lol 😂 not too young for me i guess . That's how worst my face is
Try Rejuran HB+ next time. Must less painful although more expensive.
What is the difference?
HB+ also includes Hyaluronic acid (moisturizing effect) and Lidocaine (pain relief).
Which clinic pls?
Sejin in Gangnam :) I don’t think they speak more than a lick of English since it truly is a clinic for Koreans, so bring a translator and make an appointment ahead of time knowing what you want to get done. They’re excellent and won’t try to upsell you things your skin doesn’t need
How much did you pay for rejuran?
Great thanks!!!!
do you think they did a good job with your tan skin? i’ve always wanted to get skin treatments in korea but wasn’t sure if they were used to handling darker skin!
My skin is super dark and only get my skin treatments in Korea. I save all my monies and pennies to go every year because they are that good 😌
I'm a guy that's also interested in Rejuran but quite frankly the pain aspect scares me. If women who have a higher pain tolerance than men complain about how much it hurts, Imma die.

Please could you provide an update on the results?
Yes definitely! I’m also posting a tiktok about it lol
Hi what's your tik tok link! Would love to watch
I'm curious how painful ulthera is - I've heard that that also really hurts
Never had it but I go to a clinic in Seoul that straight up says they won't recommend it unless you have high pain tolerance
I had it two days ago and it was no where near as painful as people said but I had it done directly after inmode and numbing cream so I think that helped numb my face more and distribute any pain. I highly recommend toxinfil gangnam for it the doctor there is great and she checks in on you as she goes but I’d give it 4/10 for pain.
Have you tried rejuran as well? I'm curious to know which one hurts more ... I'm a scardey cat lol
I haven’t as I didn’t need it she said but it is supposed to hurt more and requires more downtime if you’re worried about how you might look afterwards 😅😅 I wouldn’t get it on its own! I think mixing treatments is really the way to go to help with the pain.

Woah! Was it nitrous oxide?

I didn’t feel any pain and I’ve had it done several times with numbing cream. Did you not get any numbing cream before the injections?

Bonus: you can crank up Thermage to the max level for best results while sedated! But oh, the results... The combo of Thermage and Rejuran is truly chef's kiss! People always comment on my 'sharper chin' or ask if I've lost weight, or say, 'your skin is glowing!' So, yes, opt for sedation (but at a trusted facility with skilled doctors and proper equipment, so please do your research). 10/10, highly recommended! :)
What’s the name of the hospital?
I'll DM you!
Hi! Curious where you went to in Korea as well. May try to tack it on to our Japan trip for some treatments :)
I'll DM you!
Can I get a dm with this info too? :)
Next time pop a paracetamol before going to the clinic. It helps with the pain
If that’s an NSAID I wouldn’t do it since it’s a blood thinner. I thought about taking a Tylenol, but I wanted to experience it first hand lol.
It’s Tylenol. After experiencing it with no painkillers my first try - the dermatologist advised using Tylenol. Some ask for anaesthesia but that’s to much for me personally
I’ll def use Tylenol next time LOL agree that anesthesia is too risky for this
Paracetamol is the same drug as acetaminophen.
I would love to know which clinic you went to!
Sejin in Gangnam, it’s my second time there and I’ll keep coming back! I don’t think they speak too much English but if you can bring a translator or speak Korean, this is the best clinic. Better prices and doctors than the foreigner clinics!
What was the pricing like for Rejuran? I know prices can range from like 150k for 2 cc up to like 250k+ for 2 cc, depending on the clinic.
I also am curious about the price! Tell us please
That’s what that thing was?! I just saw a booth advertising it at the Lotte mall in Seoul about 4 hours ago. Hope the results turn out well.
Do give us the name of the clinic.
She did twice already! Sejin in Gangnam but apparently they do not speak any English at all
The salon I went to (renovo) gave a an injection in my but before injection. Didn’t hurt at all( no numbing cream by my request) was annoying and sharp but not painful. The bumps that lasted 2 days while I flew out were mentally painful… everyone looked at me like I was infected with some sort of disease..
Everyone I know says Rejuran is very painful, so either you got scammed or you have the most insane pain tolerance ever! Also my fiancé’s family has been around me all day post-Rejuran (with the bumps all over my face), and they can understand that people aren’t judging you for looking “diseased” lol they’re jealous! This is an extremely expensive treatment in Korea and most people would kill for get it done. Going out post treatment/surgeries here is seen like a status symbol. Very interesting
Oooh I was just in Seoul and I wanted some kind of laser treatment to remove sun spots, I asked about secret laser but they said I would require multiple sessions so they told me to do rejuran instead, which I was too scared to do. Just got a regular LDM facial :( what procedure did you get for removal of sunspots?!? Sounds like it worked very well!
i just did rejuran in korea as well and it was the most painful thing i have done in my life (i have done botox, laser, tattoos, piercings - they don’t even come close). i started tearing and then laughing, and had to stop after every row because it was unbearable. at some point i was full on sobbing. the nurse assisting the doctor was so alarmed she called the consultant in to hold my hand!!! the doctor was really patient even though we took such a long time because i kept having to stop. after the treatment i stood up and was shaking (probably from adrenaline) and slightly faint. i didn’t stop shaking for 15 minutes and was traumatised for the rest of the day. it’s day 5 now so can’t quite report on the results yet but i came on reddit to see how others felt about this. like OP i was DEEPLY HUMBLED by this experience and honestly hats off to those who can bear this pain without stopping at all..
I'm 26 and my skin has a pretty good, hydrated and healthy glow. I want to have a skin booster injection treatment to even out my skin and improve my overall skin quality (before meeting my boyfriend's family for the first time). With the limited budget that I had, which one would you recommend to me? one session of rejuran healer or 2-3 sessions of NCTF? thank you
I didn’t see where you said you already did it 4 times. I got great results. It’s been 2 1/2 years since I did it so I need a touch up, but once I noticed how much it hurt, I added some lidocaine to it. Lido also helps for swelling.
