Patients seeking rejuvenation often want treatments that work with the body’s own regenerative abilities. At RHMD, Beverly Hills triple board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Raffi Hovsepian offers two leading options: Rejuran and PRP. Both enhance skin quality and restore vitality, but their mechanisms and results differ. Understanding these distinctions can help you make an informed choice. Read on to discover how these treatments compare.
What is Rejuran?
Rejuran, sometimes called “Rejuran Healer,” is an injectable treatment formulated with polynucleotides (PN) derived from salmon DNA. These molecules stimulate skin repair at the cellular level, encouraging collagen production and improving elasticity. Rejuran is valued for its ability to:
- Diminish fine lines and wrinkles
- Strengthen skin texture and resilience
- Calm inflammation and support a healthier skin tone
- Promote long-term cellular renewal and repair
Because Rejuran works deeply to restore skin health, patients often notice gradual, natural-looking improvements that last.
What is PRP?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy takes a different approach by using the patient’s own blood. After a small draw, the sample is processed to isolate platelets and growth factors, which are then injected into targeted areas. These growth factors accelerate healing, improve circulation, and encourage collagen formation. PRP is known to:
- Brighten and refresh dull skin
- Smooth fine lines and improve surface texture
- Accelerate recovery after other cosmetic treatments
- Offer a safe, biocompatible solution using the body’s own resources
PRP’s natural compatibility and quick revitalizing effects make it a popular choice for patients seeking a refreshed look without introducing external substances.
Which is Better: Rejuran or PRP?
While both treatments rejuvenate skin, the best choice depends on your goals:
- Rejuran: Ideal for patients experiencing reduced elasticity, chronic inflammation, or deeper textural concerns. It focuses on long-term cellular repair and skin strengthening.
- PRP: Better suited for those wanting a quick glow, improved surface tone, or an adjunct treatment to enhance recovery and results from other procedures.
- Combination: In some cases, Dr. Hovsepian may recommend combining Rejuran and PRP to maximize collagen stimulation and achieve both immediate brightness and lasting structural improvement.
Key differences include treatment frequency and longevity. Rejuran is typically performed as a series of sessions with longer-lasting structural benefits, while PRP may be repeated more often for ongoing surface revitalization. Downtime for both is minimal, though patients may experience mild swelling or redness for a short period.
