THE MECHANISM, STEP BY STEP
01The product and material
Renefil combines cross-linked HA, sodium polynucleotide (PN) and lidocaine. Its Korean product information describes temporary correction of moderate to severe nasolabial folds in adults.
02Your starting point
The doctor assesses fold depth, volume loss and surrounding support before deciding what needs correction.
03What sets it apart
Containing PN does not make Renefil the same as Rejuran. Its HA–PN formulation and product properties require a separate plan.
04Assessing the change
With HA products, lines, hydration and surface quality are assessed after swelling settles. The area and formulation influence the course and duration.
Treatment areas
- Areas to assess
- The doctor assesses fold depth, volume loss and surrounding support before deciding what needs correction.
What the procedure is like
- 1Bring details of earlier nasolabial filler and any dissolving treatment, and mention lidocaine allergy. Existing swelling or lumps should be examined before further injection. Pregnancy or breastfeeding and current medicines are also reviewed before treatment.
- 2Containing PN does not make Renefil the same as Rejuran. Its HA–PN formulation and product properties require a separate plan.
- 3After appropriate comfort measures and cleansing, the doctor treats the agreed areas.
- 4Bruising, swelling and changes when smiling are reviewed as the area settles. Increasing pain, pale or mottled skin, or visual changes require immediate medical attention. Management of a combined HA–PN formulation should not be assumed identical to every HA product.
Appointment length depends on consultation, numbing and treatment extent. Tell us your available time and important plans when booking.
Recovery & aftercare
- Bruising, swelling and changes when smiling are reviewed as the area settles. Increasing pain, pale or mottled skin, or visual changes require immediate medical attention. Management of a combined HA–PN formulation should not be assumed identical to every HA product.
- Avoid strong irritation, overheating and strenuous exercise while the skin settles. Follow your instructions for washing and makeup.
- Massage and pressure advice differs by product. Follow your clinician’s instructions rather than another product’s routine.
What to expect over time
A general guide to how the days and months after treatment usually unfold. Results vary by individual.

Initial swelling and fullness are not the final result.
Early recovery

Review Renefil
With Renefil’s HA–PN formulation, follow-up assesses nasolabial-fold depth and shape after swelling settles. We compare the fold at rest and when smiling; the PN ingredient does not guarantee a general skin-regeneration effect. If swelling or a lump remains around the fold, its cause is examined before further injection is considered.
Next steps
We distinguish a hollow from sagging around the fold before considering additional volume. The initial amount and settled result guide any correction. Another PN product’s repeat schedule does not automatically apply.

Frequently asked questions
Renefil combines cross-linked HA, sodium polynucleotide (PN) and lidocaine. Its Korean product information describes temporary correction of moderate to severe nasolabial folds in adults.
