Rejuran Healer and Plenhyage XL are both polynucleotide (PN) skin boosters — injectable treatments that use DNA fragments to stimulate skin regeneration, repair, and hydration from within. Unlike dermal fillers, they do not change facial volume or shape. Instead, they activate fibroblasts, increase collagen production, and improve overall skin quality at a cellular level. The key differences lie in their origin, concentration, and ideal clinical applications.
What Are Polynucleotides and How Do They Work?
Polynucleotides are fragments of DNA, typically sourced from salmon, that have been highly purified for clinical use. When injected into the skin, they stimulate fibroblast activity (the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin), reduce inflammation, promote wound healing, and improve hydration at a deep structural level.
The result is skin that looks healthier, feels firmer, and heals better — not through adding external substances, but by activating your skin’s own regenerative capacity.
How Does Rejuran Compare to Plenhyage XL?
Rejuran Healer originates from Korea and has been in the market for many years. It is one of the most well-established and extensively studied PN-based skin boosters in Asia, with consistently high patient satisfaction. Rejuran is particularly well-suited for improving skin texture, reducing fine lines, and rejuvenating sensitive areas like under the eyes and neck. Its strength lies in its proven track record and extensive real-world clinical use.
Plenhyage XL Strong originates from Italy and represents a newer generation of PN boosters. Its distinguishing feature is a higher polynucleotide concentration (50mg per session), which is designed for more intensive skin repair. This makes it particularly suitable for deeper skin concerns such as post-laser recovery, acne scar treatment support, and more advanced signs of aging. Patients also report a more comfortable injection experience.

Which One Should You Choose?
The right choice depends on your skin condition and treatment goals. Rejuran is an excellent choice if you are looking for trusted, proven skin rejuvenation with a focus on hydration, texture, and general anti-aging maintenance. Plenhyage XL is a strong option if you need more intensive repair — particularly if you are recovering from laser treatment, treating acne scars, or addressing more advanced skin concerns that benefit from a higher PN dose.
Both treatments are effective and well-regarded. Your doctor can recommend the most suitable option based on an assessment of your specific skin needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Rejuran or Plenhyage for under-eye rejuvenation? Yes. Both are suitable for the delicate under-eye area, where they can improve skin thickness, reduce crepiness, and address fine lines without adding volume. Rejuran has been particularly popular for under-eye use given its established track record in this area.
How many sessions are needed? Most patients benefit from 2–4 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions every 3–6 months. The specific protocol depends on your skin condition and treatment goals.
Are these treatments safe for Asian skin? Yes. Polynucleotide boosters are well-suited to Asian skin types. They do not carry the pigmentation risks associated with some laser treatments, making them a safe option for skin regeneration in Malaysian patients.
