Rejuran HBin Gangnam, Seoul
Rejuran HB is a polynucleotide (PN) skin booster that adds hyaluronic acid (HA) for immediate hydration, with lidocaine in the formula for a more comfortable injection. At QD Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, HB is often chosen for dry or dehydrated skin and by those who want hydration alongside skin repair. A session usually takes about 20–40 minutes including numbing. (Results vary by individual.)
Who it’s for
- Dry or dehydrated skin that needs hydration as well as repair
- Those who want an immediate plumping effect alongside skin quality
- People who prefer a more comfortable injection (lidocaine in the formula)
- Anyone new to Rejuran who wants a gentler first experience
Whether HB or another Rejuran formula suits you is confirmed during consultation.
How it works
Rejuran HB combines polynucleotides (PN) from salmon DNA with hyaluronic acid (HA), and its formula includes lidocaine. The PN supports the skin’s own repair, while the added HA provides immediate hydration and a plumping effect, and the lidocaine helps make the injections more comfortable. This blend is why HB is a frequent choice for dry or dehydrated skin and for those who prefer a gentler experience. “HB” refers to this hyaluronic-acid–blended formula.
THE MECHANISM, STEP BY STEP
01Polynucleotides plus hyaluronic acid
HB blends polynucleotides (PN) from salmon DNA with hyaluronic acid (HA), and its formula also includes lidocaine.
02Repair and immediate hydration
The PN supports the skin’s own repair, while the added HA provides immediate hydration and a plumping effect.
03A more comfortable injection
The lidocaine in the formula is intended to make the microinjections more comfortable, alongside the numbing cream applied first.
04Hydration early, quality over time
Hydration can be felt relatively early, while skin-quality change develops over a series of sessions. (Results vary by individual.)

- 3Microinjections across the treatment area
- 4Cooling, soothing and aftercare guidance
Time: A session takes about 20–40 minutes, including numbing time.
Recovery & aftercare

What to expect over time
A general guide to how the days and months after treatment usually unfold. Results vary by individual.
DAY 0 Treatment day
Numbing first, then microinjections. Small raised bumps at the injection sites are common, with mild redness or swelling; skin may feel hydrated.
DAY 1-2 Bumps settling
The small bumps usually settle within about 1–2 days. Minor bruising, if any, starts to fade.
WEEK 1 Hydration felt
Many people notice a hydrated, plumped feeling relatively early from the hyaluronic acid. This varies between people.
1-3 MONTHS Skin-quality change
Over the course and the following weeks, texture and elasticity may improve as the skin repairs. (Results vary by individual.)
AFTER THE COURSE Review & maintenance
Your doctor reviews the outcome and discusses maintenance timing based on your skin.
Sessions & results
A typical plan is about 3–4 sessions spaced roughly 2–4 weeks apart, with hydration felt early and skin quality developing gradually over the following weeks. Maintenance is considered after a period decided at consultation. (Results vary by individual.)
How it compares
These injectable boosters all support skin quality, but they add different things — so the right one depends on whether you want hydration, repair or collagen support.
| Comparison | Rejuran HB | Rejuran Healer | Juvelook Skin |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main agent | Polynucleotides + hyaluronic acid | Polynucleotides only | PDLLA microparticles + HA |
| Adds | Immediate hydration, comfort (lidocaine) | Repair support, no added HA | Gradual collagen support |
| Often chosen for | Dry or dehydrated skin | Overall skin quality | Texture, pores and glow |
| Sessions | Usually 3–4 | Usually 3–4 | Usually 2–3 |
| Downtime | Little; small bumps possible | Little; small bumps possible | Little; small papules possible |
Neither is “better” — they work differently and suit different goals. The right choice is decided after we assess your skin.
Safety & considerations
Possible reactions

Often considered together
Treatments that are sometimes planned alongside this one, decided at consultation.
+Ultrasound or RF lifting
Energy-based lifting addresses laxity and deeper support, which boosters do not target — sometimes planned together for skin quality plus firmness. Sequencing is decided by your doctor.

For dynamic lines from muscle movement (forehead, frown, crow’s feet), often planned alongside skin-quality treatments for a balanced result.
+Hyaluronic-acid filler
For areas where volume has softened, filler adds structure that a booster does not — planned together where appropriate at consultation.
