PDRN Skin Booster Korea: Why Rejuran Works Better Paired for Wrinkles
Dr. Hyo Seop Ryu explains why Rejuran and a skin-level wrinkle-relaxing injection work well together, and how the plan changes in your 30s, 40s and 50s.
Can a PDRN skin booster Korea clinics offer help with wrinkles?
Hello, I'm Dr. Hyo Seop Ryu, a board-certified dermatologist (M.D., Ph.D.) and Chief Director at WELLS Clinic in Apgujeong, Seoul. I was previously an assistant professor at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital. This article is based on my YouTube video from November 2025 above; translated captions are available on YouTube.
When patients search for "PDRN skin booster Korea", they usually mean Rejuran, a salmon-derived polynucleotide booster. On its own it mainly helps hydration and skin health. For fine lines and pores, it works better paired with a skin-level wrinkle-relaxing injection, and that pairing is what I explain here.
Both treatments are quick. Neither needs a long preparation, the injection itself takes under ten minutes, and the cost is not high, which is why they are often the first treatments I recommend to someone new to dermatology care.
What does Rejuran do in the skin?
A skin booster is any product injected into the dermis to support the skin. Rejuran is the best-known name among them, and it works in two ways.
- A regenerating component helps the skin produce collagen, which supports anti-aging.
- A moisturizing component improves the skin's ability to hold water, easing that dry, tight feeling underneath.
At WELLS we use Rejuran HB+, which adds hyaluronic acid for hydration and lidocaine for comfort. A course of four sessions at 2–3 week intervals is recommended.
How is a skin-level wrinkle injection different from the usual one?
A standard wrinkle-relaxing injection goes deep into a muscle to treat and prevent expression lines, such as frown lines. A skin smoothing injection is different: the product is diluted and placed in the dermis, not the muscle.
- Fine lines soften.
- Pores can shrink, because the tiny muscles attached to the pores relax.
- Flushing may improve, because small nerves around the blood vessels are calmed.
Because it does not reach the deeper muscles, normal expression is not affected, so it can be used across the whole face without a stiff look.
Why mix Rejuran and a skin smoothing injection into one?
Both are placed in the dermis, so they can be mixed before injection. You get two effects for one round of injections, which is why the combination is popular.
At WELLS this is Rejuran Tox: 3 mL of Rejuran HB+ plus a microdroplet skin smoothing injection. It is ₩913,000 with the Korean-made option or ₩1,089,000 with the US-made option (VAT excluded), and the dermatologist confirms the dose.
If you want to know how much Rejuran your face needs and how long the bumps last, Dr. Lee covers that in Korean PDRN: dose and technique.
Rejuran Tox
- What it is
- Rejuran HB+ (3 mL) plus a microdroplet skin smoothing injection in one visit, for texture, fine lines and pores.
- How it works
- Rejuran HB+ works on regeneration, moisture and elasticity underneath. Tiny doses of a wrinkle-relaxing injection across the surface smooth fine lines, pores, oiliness and texture.
- Sessions
- One session covers both; a Rejuran HB+ course of four sessions at 2–3 week intervals is recommended.
- Recovery
- Tell us your flight dates on WhatsApp and the dermatologist will advise on timing.
- Price
- Korean-made option ₩913,000 · US-made option ₩1,089,000 (VAT excluded)
Why patients fly in for it
- Both products are genuine and dosed by a board-certified dermatologist.
- You choose the Korean-made or the original US-made product.
- Lifting, Sculptra and Thermage are planned in the same clinic when a booster is not enough.

Message on WhatsAppPlanning a PDRN skin booster Korea routine by age
- 30s: a wrinkle-relaxing injection for the forehead, frown lines and eye area at least once a year, so lines don't become fixed. Rejuran on its own at regular intervals is fine if cost matters, since wrinkles are usually mild.
- 40s and 50s: Rejuran mixed with a skin smoothing injection as Rejuran Tox, to keep preventing wrinkles while maintaining an anti-aging effect.
- 50s and 60s: the pair alone may reach its limit. Adding Thermage, Ultherapy or Sculptra gives a better result.
Rejuran suits any age. Whether you are in your 20s or your 70s, skin can become dry, and regular boosters help it the way a good tonic helps the body. Once lines are deeply fixed, a wrinkle-relaxing injection does less, which is why starting early matters.
If you are at the stage where lifting is needed, my article on the Korean anti aging facial explains how surface and deep aging are treated differently.
How do you fit Rejuran Tox into a Seoul trip?
Because the injection is short and both products go in at once, it is easy to plan around a visit. Send a photo, your age range and your travel dates on WhatsApp, and we reply in English with options; the dermatologist confirms the plan and price at the clinic.
WELLS is on the 8th floor of the Apgujeong Building, about five minutes on foot from Apgujeong Station (Line 3), Exit 3. Results vary, and the right plan for you is decided in consultation.

Does a PDRN skin booster Korea treatment fix wrinkles on its own?
Rejuran mainly supports hydration and skin health. For fine lines and pores, Dr. Ryu recommends pairing it with a skin-level wrinkle-relaxing injection, which WELLS offers as Rejuran Tox.
Will a skin smoothing injection make my face look stiff?
It is diluted and placed in the dermis rather than the muscle, so normal expression is not affected and it can be used across the whole face.
How much is Rejuran Tox at WELLS?
₩913,000 (VAT excluded) with the Korean-made option and ₩1,089,000 (VAT excluded) with the US-made option, for 3 mL of Rejuran HB+ plus a skin smoothing injection.
When is a booster not enough?
In your 50s and 60s, Rejuran and a skin smoothing injection may reach their limit. Adding Thermage, Ultherapy or Sculptra gives a better result.
