Rejuran Korea guide: why Seoul, how a visit works, and flight timing

Why do people plan a Rejuran Korea trip?

Hello, I'm Dr. Won Sin Lee, a board-certified dermatologist and chief director at WELLS Clinic in Apgujeong, Seoul. I completed my residency and board certification in dermatology at Asan Medical Center, where I am now an adjunct professor of dermatology.

Most people who message us about Rejuran Korea plans have the same worry. They are flying a long way for an injection that takes minutes, and they want to know the visit will be organised, safe and worth the time on the ground.

I trained in dermatology at Asan Medical Center here in Seoul, and I would put the reasons to come to us simply. At WELLS, a board-certified dermatologist consults and treats you in person, consultations are in English, prices are listed in won before you travel, and the product is opened in front of you.

What is honestly variable is your skin. How much product you need, and how many sessions, depends on the face in front of the dermatologist. This guide is about the logistics of the trip; if you first want to understand the treatment itself, start with Rejuran skin booster: what it does, who it suits, and the price.

What is Rejuran, and which one will you get in Seoul?

Rejuran is a skin booster based on polynucleotide (PN), a salmon-derived ingredient that supports regeneration, collagen production and the skin's ability to hold water. It is placed into the dermis by injection, which is why technique matters so much.

You may have read about Rejuran Healer. At WELLS we use Rejuran HB+, which adds hyaluronic acid and lidocaine; on the VAS scale it cut post-injection pain by an average of 53% compared with Rejuran Healer. The formula is described on our Rejuran HB+ skin booster page.

We also offer Rejuran Tox, which combines Rejuran HB+ (3 mL) with microdroplet skin smoothing injection in the same session. For visitors with limited days, that single-visit combination often matters as much as the formula.

How a Rejuran Korea visit works, step by step

The whole visit is designed so you can plan it from home and arrive knowing what will happen. There are four steps.

• Message us on WhatsApp with your concern, a photo if you like, and your travel dates. We reply in English with treatment options and appointment times.
• Consultation at the clinic. A dermatologist examines your skin, including 3D analysis where the treatment calls for it, and confirms the plan and the price before anything starts.
• Treatment in the same clinic. The new product is opened in front of you, and the Rejuran injection is given by hand into the dermis, with depth and spacing adjusted area by area.
• Aftercare. You leave with the dermatologist's aftercare instructions, and you can reach us on WhatsApp once you are home.

The injection itself is short; the part that deserves time is the consultation. We look at skin thickness, elasticity and the degree of ageing to estimate how much product you need and how many sessions. The route from first message to treatment is also set out on our clinic and directions page.

Visitors often ask whether the Rejuran injection hurts. The HB+ formula contains lidocaine, and we add anaesthesia support so the treatment can be received comfortably. Pain tolerance differs from person to person, and the dermatologist adjusts to you.

After treatment, you get an authenticity card so you can verify the product yourself. That, the product opened in front of you and the full genuine amount used, is the three-step check we run on every Rejuran treatment.

Timing a Rejuran treatment around your flights

The question I am asked most by visitors is not about pain. It is: how soon can I fly, and how will I look on the plane?

Right after a Rejuran injection you will see small raised bumps where the product was placed. That is expected and shows it went into the dermis. They usually settle within 2–3 days, though in some people they fade within a day and in others they last around five.

So my practical advice is to book the treatment early in your trip rather than the afternoon before you leave, and not the day before a wedding or a meeting. Tell us your flight dates on WhatsApp and the dermatologist will advise on timing for your case.

One trip or several? Fitting a four-session course into travel

For Rejuran HB+, four sessions at 2–3 week intervals are recommended. That is the honest part of any Rejuran Korea plan: a single short trip covers one session, not the full course.

In practice, visitors tend to choose one of three routes, and we plan around whichever fits:

• A longer stay, so that more than one session fits inside the 2–3 week interval
• Repeat trips to Seoul, with the sessions spaced to your travel calendar
• One visit with Rejuran Tox, when your main concerns are dryness together with fine lines and pores

Rejuran Tox is listed at ₩913,000 (VAT included) with the Korean-made option or ₩1,089,000 (VAT included) with the US-made option; Rejuran HB+ on its own is confirmed at consultation. The Rejuran Tox page explains what is in each option.

If you want to know what tends to change first across a course, and in what order, read Rejuran before and after: what changes, and in what order.

Getting to WELLS in Apgujeong

We are on the 8th floor of the Apgujeong Building, 842 Nonhyeon-ro, Gangnam-gu. Take Subway Line 3 to Apgujeong Station, Exit 3; it is about a five-minute walk, and NH Bank is on the ground floor.

The clinic has a front desk, a waiting lounge, private lounges, consultation rooms and treatment rooms on the same floor. You check in, consult and are treated without leaving the 8th floor.

• Monday to Friday: 10:00–20:00
• Saturday: 10:00–17:00
• Lunch break: 13:00–14:00
• Closed on Sundays and Korean public holidays

If you are driving, underground self-parking is available in the building, though spaces may be limited. Because we close on Sundays and public holidays, check Korean holidays against your dates before you book flights.

What to send before your Rejuran consultation

The more we know before you land, the more useful the first reply is. You do not need a translator; replies on WhatsApp and Instagram are in English.

• Your main concern: dryness, fine lines, dull texture or pores
• A clear front-facing photo in daylight, if you are comfortable sharing one
• Your arrival and departure dates, and any event you need to look settled for
• Any skin treatment you have had recently

Our FAQ for international patients answers the usual booking questions, including VAT and hours.

Results and recovery vary by individual. Every treatment carries possible side effects, which are explained at the consultation. Prices are in Korean won, including 10% VAT, and confirmed at your consultation. This article is general information from the clinic, not a diagnosis.
