Rejuran Salmon DNA Boosters

Rejuran shows up on treatment menus under more than one description. These are the descriptions, set side by side.

A new name on a treatment menu

Haute Living published an article titled REJURAN: What Does The Science Say?. A magazine feature is one kind of source, and a clinic menu is another. Keep track of which one you are reading.

Salmon DNA, polynucleotides and the product name

Haute Living says: "REJURAN is a new skin-rejuvenating topical and injection derived from salmon DNA."

Point by point:

  • The product is called Rejuran.
  • Its origin is given as "derived from salmon DNA."
  • Its forms are given as "topical and injection."
  • The adjectives are "new" and "skin-rejuvenating."

Other sources use another vocabulary, with words like "polynucleotides." A clinic that uses one set of terms and a source that uses another may be describing the same product. Ask the clinic to say how its term maps to the source's term.

What a description can and cannot carry

The Haute Living sentence is a description, not a result. "New" and "skin-rejuvenating" are adjectives. The article's own title asks what the science says, so look past this opening sentence for the answer.

An article hosted at ncbi.nlm.nih.gov titled A Real-Life Assessment of Injectable Polynucleotides High Purification Technology in Aesthetic Medicine for Skin Rejuvenation uses the term injectable polynucleotides in its title. Compare its wording with the magazine's.

The word to check before you book

The footnote here is the word "derived." It states an origin. The sentence does not say what the product does, in what dose, or for whom.

When a clinic repeats "salmon DNA," check whether it says anything beyond origin.
