Rejuran Korea Review: The Three Complaints I Hear Most, and What Actually Sits Behind Each One

I'm Dr. Hyunji Kim, director and lead physician at Delphic Clinic in Gangnam. My training began at Korea University Medical Center, I am a member of the Korean Filler Society and the Korean Academy of Aesthetic Surgery & Laser Medicine, and I spend my days on lifting, laser and anti-ageing care. Rejuran is our signature treatment, so I read a lot of Rejuran Korea review posts that patients send me.
Nearly every week someone tells me, "I read a Rejuran Korea review that scared me off." When I ask what it said, it is almost always one of three things: it hurt, the bumps were awful, or nothing changed. This page takes each complaint seriously and explains what usually sits behind it.
Complaint one: "It hurt more than I expected"
This one is fair. Hand-injected Rejuran places polynucleotide, a material derived from salmon DNA, across the face in many small injections. Numbing helps, but some areas feel sharper than others.
Painless Rejuran was developed to reduce that discomfort, and it is a separate menu option at Delphic. When a review complains about pain, I check which version the reviewer had, because the two experiences are not the same.
Complaint two: "My face was covered in bumps"
The small raised bumps are where the product sits under the skin, and they are part of the treatment rather than a sign that something went wrong. Recovery is usually one to three days, and the bumps flatten as the product settles.
The bumps are a scheduling issue, not a safety one, which is why I care about when you book. Spreading redness, heat or pain that gets worse instead of better is different, and should be checked by the clinic that treated you.
Complaint three: "I couldn't tell if it worked"
Rejuran supports the skin's own repair over time, which shows as finer texture, better hydration and skin that looks less tired. That kind of change is gradual, and it rarely shows in a review written a few days after one session.
We usually plan Rejuran as a series with sessions two to three weeks apart. I explain what I tell patients to expect, and when, in my Rejuran before and after guide.
The same problem affects reviews of every polynucleotide and PDRN treatment, which I cover in how to read Korean PDRN reviews.
If a patient leaves disappointed because I did not explain the bumps or the timing, that is my failure, not the treatment's.— Dr. Hyunji Kim, Delphic Clinic
Plan your photos and social days around the bumps
Use this to place Rejuran in your Seoul itinerary. It assumes the usual one to three days of recovery; your own skin may settle sooner or later.
Rejuran I would talk you out of
- If your main concern is sagging along the jaw: Rejuran improves skin quality, not lift, and a lifting treatment fits better.
- If you need to look camera-ready tomorrow: book it after the event, not before.
- If there is active acne or inflammation in the area: we calm the skin first.
- If you can only come once and want a dramatic change: a single session will not deliver that, and I would rather say so now.

4.7 · 260 Google reviewsI received ONDA lifting and Juvelook Skin treatment at Delpic Clinic. Before the procedure, Dr. K carefully examined my skin condition and explained everything in a kind and easy-to-understand way, which made me feel very comfortable and reassured. During the treatment, I could really tell that Dr. K was highly skilled, so I felt confident and at ease throughout the entire process. Overall, I was very satisfied with my experience. It’s definitely a clinic I would love to visit again.
I had a really great experience at Delphic Clinic. The staff were very friendly and made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. They explained everything clearly in English and didn’t try to oversell unnecessary treatments, which I really appreciated. The clinic is very clean and modern, and the whole process felt professional and well-organized. Overall, I would definitely recommend this clinic, especially if you’re a foreigner looking for a trustworthy place in Korea.

Frequently asked questions
Is Rejuran painful, as reviews say?
Hand-injected Rejuran involves many small injections, so it can be uncomfortable, especially without good numbing. Painless Rejuran is a separate option designed to reduce that discomfort.
How long do Rejuran bumps last?
The small raised bumps where the product sits usually settle within one to three days. Plan photos and important meetings after that window.
Why do some Rejuran Korea reviews say nothing changed?
Rejuran supports skin repair gradually and is usually planned as a series at intervals of two to three weeks. A review after one session, or written within days, often comes too early to show a change.
Who should not get Rejuran?
People whose main concern is sagging that needs lifting, those who need a visible change within days, and anyone with active inflammation in the area should consider another plan or wait.
How much is Rejuran at Delphic?
Rejuran Healer 2cc is 350,000 KRW on the regular menu, with a first-visit trial price of 178,000 KRW, and international patients pay the same as Korean patients.
