Rejuran Around the Eyes: Benefits, Risks and When to Avoid It
The eye area is often the first place to show signs of ageing, with fine lines, thinning skin, and textural changes becoming more noticeable over time. Rejuran is increasingly used in this delicate region to support skin regeneration and improve overall quality. However, as with any medical treatment, it is essential to understand where Rejuran may be beneficial and when it may not be appropriate.
How Rejuran May Help the Eye Area
Rejuran is an injectable skin treatment containing polynucleotides, which are fragments of DNA that help stimulate collagen production, repair the skin barrier, and improve hydration. When used around the eyes, Rejuran may help:
Support thinning skin
Improve fine lines and mild creping
Strengthen the skin barrier
Enhance hydration and texture
These benefits are typically gradual and may require several sessions spaced over time. Improvements may be subtle and cumulative, with individual results varying based on skin condition, age, and other factors.
Why the Eye Area Requires Caution
Although Rejuran is well tolerated in many cases, the eye area is anatomically sensitive and must be approached with care. The skin is thinner, the blood vessels are closer to the surface, and there is a higher risk of swelling, bruising, or unexpected responses if not administered correctly.
When used appropriately, Rejuran can offer subtle rejuvenation. However, in some cases it may increase the risk of discomfort or prolonged reactions, particularly if skin integrity is compromised or if underlying sensitivities exist.
Who May Not Be Suitable for Rejuran Near the Eyes
Rejuran is not suitable for everyone. A thorough consultation is essential to determine whether this treatment is right for you. It may not be recommended for individuals who have:
Active skin infections or inflammation in the eye area
Known hypersensitivity to any component of the product
History of keloid scarring or delayed healing
Extremely thin or compromised skin in the treatment area
Autoimmune conditions or ongoing systemic inflammation
Even in the absence of contraindications, practitioners may advise caution or suggest alternative approaches if the risk of adverse effects outweighs potential benefits.
Importance of Professional Assessment
A qualified healthcare practitioner will carefully assess the skin around your eyes, review your medical history, and explain all risks before treatment. This includes discussing expected outcomes, the number of sessions likely required, and how Rejuran compares to other available options.
If treatment goes ahead, a step-by-step approach is often used, starting with low-dose applications and adjusting based on how your skin responds.
Supporting Your Skin After Treatment
Post-treatment care is essential to reduce irritation and optimise results. This may include:
Gentle skin care and avoiding harsh products
Consistent sun protection
Monitoring for signs of adverse reaction
Returning for review appointments as advised
