Rejuran Aftercare: What to Avoid During the First 7 Days

Good aftercare helps Rejuran Healer bumps settle quickly, reduces the risk of bruising and irritation, and supports the best possible result. Rejuran has relatively little downtime, but what you do in the first week still makes a difference — especially if you are travelling, sightseeing or flying home soon after treatment.

This day-by-day guide covers what to expect, what to avoid and what you can safely do during the first seven days. Always follow any specific advice your doctor gives you, as it may be tailored to your skin.

1. What to expect right after treatment

Immediately after Rejuran, you will see small raised bumps at the injection points. They are expected and show where the product was placed. The skin may feel slightly tender or warm, and mild redness is common. Small bruises can appear, especially in areas with thin skin.

2. The first 24 hours

Do not touch, massage or press the treated area.

Avoid make-up for the rest of the day if possible, to keep injection points clean.

Skip saunas, jjimjilbang, hot baths and intense exercise.

Avoid alcohol, which can increase swelling and bruising.

Sleep on your back with your head slightly raised if you are prone to swelling.

3. Days 2 to 3

Most bumps should be fading by now and usually settle within one to two days. You can generally wear light make-up from the next day, applied gently with clean tools. Continue to avoid heat, saunas and vigorous exercise. Keep skincare simple: a gentle cleanser, a soothing moisturiser and sunscreen.

4. Days 4 to 7

Skin should look close to normal. Continue to avoid strong exfoliants, retinoids, acids and scrubs until about a week has passed, unless your doctor advises otherwise. Avoid facial massage, peels and other in-clinic facials during this time so the skin can settle.

5. Things to avoid in the first week

Saunas, hot yoga and very hot showers.

Alcohol for at least the first day or two.

Strong active skincare such as retinoids, AHAs and BHAs.

Facial massage, gua sha or pressing on the treated area.

Prolonged sun exposure without sunscreen.

Swimming pools for the first couple of days.

6. What you can do

Gentle cleansing and moisturising.

Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen.

Normal light activities and sightseeing.

Flying, usually from the next day.

Light make-up from the next day.

7. Managing bruises

If a bruise appears, it usually fades within a week. Concealer can cover it once the skin has settled. Avoiding alcohol and certain supplements before treatment can reduce the risk; ask your doctor which ones to pause.

8. Flying after Rejuran

Most people can fly the next day. Cabin air is dry, so keep your skin moisturised, drink plenty of water and avoid touching your face during the flight.

9. What is normal and what is not?

Normal: small bumps, mild redness, slight tenderness or small bruises that fade within days.

Contact the clinic: increasing pain, spreading redness, warmth, swelling that worsens after two days, or signs of infection such as discharge or fever.

10. Planning your next session

Rejuran works best as a course of three to four sessions, spaced two to four weeks apart, followed by maintenance about every six months. Ask your doctor about the timing of your next visit before you leave, and note your treatment date so you can plan future trips.

11. Supporting long-term results

Beyond the first week, daily sunscreen, a gentle routine and good hydration help maintain the improvement in elasticity and texture.

Conclusion

In the first week after Rejuran, keep your skin calm: avoid heat, alcohol, strong actives and pressure, and use gentle skincare and sunscreen. Most bumps settle within one to two days, and you can usually fly the next day. Message our English-speaking team on WhatsApp with any questions, or read more on our Rejuran Healer page.
