How Long Do Rejuran Injection Bumps Last? Gangnam Clinic Treatment Methods and Aftercare Compared

Some clinics describe Rejuran injection bumps as lasting about 1–2 days, while allowing longer for recovery that includes bruising and swelling. Before an important event, distinguish the day the raised marks settle from the day you feel comfortable wearing makeup or being photographed. This guide compares pain management, injection methods, soothing aftercare and price inclusions at five Gangnam clinics, starting with SeoulLeaguer Dermatology Clinic, alongside 3,004 archived Gangnam Unni and Babitalk reviews.

Key Summary

Injection bumps are a reaction where the injected area appears slightly raised, and should be distinguished from bruising or overall facial swelling. The symptoms included in the period advised by each clinic also vary.

  • If you’re most worried about the schedule: Ask how long the injection bumps and bruises will last, and whether makeup is possible the next day. Saying that daily life is possible does not mean there will be no marks.
  • If you’re worried about pain: First, compare which product it is between Healer and HB Plus, and what pain management options are available besides topical anesthetic cream. SeoulLeaguer Dermatology Clinic provides information on Airnox, while HealHouse Dermatology Clinic gives a separate explanation about the injector.
  • If you’re comparing the same 2cc price: In addition to the product name and dosage per session, also consider the device tip, pain management, soothing aftercare, and VAT. Ocean Clinic separately informs about additional charges for Rejumate tips.

One-line summaryCompare the schedule by symptoms, the procedure by product and injection method, and the cost by included components.

How long does it take for Rejuran injection bumps to subside?

The time for Rejuran injection bumps to settle is different from recovery time that also includes bruising. Reev Clinic Gangnam states in its Rejuran FAQ that most injection bumps subside within 1–2 days. HealHouse Dermatology's current network page groups injection bumps and bruising together and gives a period of 2–7 days.

CategoryVisible AppearanceQuestions to Ask Before Schedule
injection bumpsThe injected area is raised like small lumpsWhen the bumps start to subside and when they completely go down
bruises and red marksMarks that make the skin color look differentWhether the color remains even after the injection bumps subside
swellingThe treated area looks swollenWhether it will interfere with work, face-to-face appointments, or filming

The comparison that clinics with shorter guidance periods recover faster does not hold. This is because different products and doses are used for different patients, and the symptoms included in the guidance are also different. Instead of just looking at whether the day guided by the clinic has passed, you should also look at how the redness and pain are changing.

One-line summaryConsult by dividing the timing when injection bumps subside and the timing when bruising fades.

How are manual injection and injector different in terms of injection bumps and pain?

Even with the same Rejuran, pain and swelling vary depending on the product, the injection site, the amount and depth of injection at one time, and anesthesia. An injector is a device that injects medication according to set conditions, and compared to manual injection, you can just ask where and how it is actually used.

Comparison ItemQuestions to Check During Consultation
ProductWhich product is it among Healer, Rejuran I, HB Plus?
Injection MethodIs it a manual injection, needle injector, or delivered together with another procedure?
Area and DosageHow much is used for the eye area and the entire face, respectively?
Pain ManagementBesides topical anesthetic cream, is there any other management, and does it incur additional costs?

HealHouse Dermatology Gangnam explains under the director’s name that you should not assume the effectiveness is reduced just because it was less painful with an injector or the injection bumps are small. This is the clinic’s explanation, and it is not a comparative study proving the superiority of manual injection versus injector.

PN is the main ingredient of Rejuran. In a small study involving 15 people, each participant received a conventional PN solution on one side of the face and a PN solution modified to reduce pain on the other side. Pain ratings were lower on the side injected with the modified solution. The formulation itself, not just the injection technique, can therefore affect pain. The study did not compare pain from manual versus device-assisted injections or recovery speed between clinics.

One-line summaryCheck how the injection is given and how pain is managed in the same product and area.

How were the reviews of Gangnam Unni and Babitalk Rejuran?

In the reviews, the timing when not only the pain but also the injection bumps decreased, the time when it was concealed with makeup, and experiences of remaining bruises vary. We organized this based on 3,004 cases classified according to the product as Healer, Rejuran I, and HB, out of 2,865 cases from Gangnam Unni and 500 cases from Babitalk. The following is the archived data as of October 7, 2026, and does not represent the total number of reviews on the entire platform.

ProductReviews per ProductReviews Mentioning Quite Painful / PainHad Bruising / Mention of Bruising
Healer1,198115 / 47549 / 98
Rejuran I938100 / 39594 / 146
HB86820 / 49242 / 79

In reviews, there were more frequent responses that Healer and Rejuran I were more painful than HB. However, it varied from person to person whether it was injected around the eyes or the entire face, and what kind of anesthesia they received. If you are worried about pain, rather than just choosing by product name, ask together about what kind of anesthesia and pain management will be used for the area you will receive it on.

You can read the numbers about bruising like this. Out of 1,198 Healer reviews, 98 mentioned whether bruising occurred, and among those, 49 said they had bruises. The rest of the reviews did not talk about bruising, so you should not assume from this number that half of the people who received Rejuran experienced bruising.

You need to look at what is written in the reviews to see how long the injection bumps lasted. The following expressions in different reviews do not mean the same condition.

  • Significantly reduced after a few hours: The raised bumps had become smaller than they were initially. This does not mean the marks had disappeared completely.
  • Covered with makeup after four days: This means that even if there were marks, they were less visible with makeup. It does not mean they were invisible without makeup.
  • Gone after a week: This is the experience that it took about a week to feel that the injection bumps had disappeared.

Reviewers described satisfaction with skin feeling less uncomfortably tight and makeup sitting better, alongside concern about visible injection bumps. Being pleased with a skin change does not mean the remaining marks are no longer bothersome. Before work or an appointment, look beyond general satisfaction and check when bumps and bruises faded and when wearing makeup felt comfortable.

One-line summaryReviews should be read separately for pain, injection bumps, bruising, makeup, and returning to work so you can compare them with your own schedule.

1. How does SeoulLeaguer Dermatology Clinic handle pain management and soothing aftercare?

SeoulLeaguer Dermatology Clinic provides pain management without sedation using Airnox and guides patients on post-procedure soothing masks. The special explanation for Rejuran includes information that the injection is administered considering the desired area, and after soothing the skin with a pack at the clinic, a take-home mask pack is provided.

Rejuran Healer 2cc is priced at 250,000 KRW, and the Rejuran 4cc with Airnox package is listed at 570,000 KRW. HB Premium 2cc and cryo treatment are 360,000 KRW, and all prices are excluding 10% VAT. This allows you to compare which products include pain management and soothing aftercare.

For post-care, it was noted to avoid pressing or rubbing strongly, to refrain from smoking and drinking for about a week, and to avoid saunas and bathing for about two weeks. This period is a lifestyle management guideline from the clinic and does not mean that the injection bumps will remain during this time.

When consulting, ask which of Airnox, cryo treatment, and take-home soothing mask are included with the product and quantity I chose.

One-line summaryAt SeoulLeaguer Dermatology Clinic, you can compare the included components of pain management and soothing aftercare depending on the product and dosage.

2. How does Reev Clinic Gangnam guide makeup and returning to daily life?

Reev Clinic Gangnam explains injection bumps and the timing for resuming makeup separately in the Rejuran-only FAQ. Injection bumps usually subside within 1–2 days, and light makeup is generally possible from the next day.

For pain, the clinic describes topical anesthetic cream and products such as HB intended to reduce discomfort. It discusses fees according to the volume per treatment and number of sessions, and states that VAT is charged separately for cosmetic procedures.

If you have an important appointment, instead of simply asking whether makeup is possible, consult about how much makeup can be applied when there are bruises around the eyes or raised marks. The point at which the skin can tolerate makeup and the point at which marks are not visible in photos are not the same question.

One-line summaryIn the guidance from Reev Clinic Gangnam, you can distinguish between whether makeup is possible the next day and the recovery in appearance.

3. How does HealHouse Dermatology Clinic Gangnam explain manual injection and injector?

HealHouse Dermatology Clinic Gangnam provides explanations from the director about the injector's injection method and injection bumps. They explain the method of injecting the drug under consistent conditions and the amount administered at a single point, while advising not to evaluate the effect solely based on the size of the injection bumps.

The current network Rejuran page describes topical anesthesia and a total appointment time of about 30–50 minutes, including anesthesia time. The older Gangnam page also describes anesthetic cream or local anesthesia, inhaled pain relief without sedation and soothing aftercare. Ask which injection method and pain-management options apply to the product you are booking.

The recovery period on the current page is indicated as 2–7 days for both injection bumps and bruising. Since the explanation and duration that combine various symptoms on the existing Gangnam page are different, instead of setting one number as the recovery time for all patients, please ask about the applicable product and area together.

One-line summaryAt HealHouse Dermatology Clinic Gangnam, consult together about the injection method, anesthesia options, and the range of recovery including bruising.

4. How does Ocean Clinic Gangnam differentiate the procedure composition from Rejumate?

Ocean Clinic Gangnam separately displays the additional charge for Rejumate tips and the configuration of Potenza pumping tips. Healer 2cc costs 179,000 KRW, and if proceeding with Rejumate, an additional tip fee of 30,000 KRW is applied. All prices are VAT excluded.

The Healer 2cc Potenza pumping tip configuration on the same page is listed as 279,000 KRW including the tips. Even if the product name and volume are the same, the delivery method and included items are different, so it should not be read as a simple price difference for the same procedure.

In post-care, avoid strong friction, and guide to gently wash your face and apply makeup from the next day. There are also guidelines to moisturize, use sun protection, and avoid alcohol, saunas, and intense exercise for a week.

When getting a quote, ask whether the amount is for choosing Rejumate, if it's a configuration with Potenza, and whether tip costs are included. You can also check the device name and payment terms together.

One-line summaryAt Ocean Clinic Gangnam, even for the same 2cc, you need to compare by separating the additional cost for Rejumate and the Potenza configuration.

5. How does Poen Clinic guide soothing aftercare and post-procedure daily life?

Poen Clinic provides separate post-care guidelines for each product and for skin boosters in general. Healer 2cc for a single session is priced at 250,000 KRW, and for three sessions, it is 690,000 KRW. A package that includes Healer 4cc and Rejuran I 1cc along with cryo treatment and a soothing mask costs 490,000 KRW.

The shared aftercare instructions for Potenza and skin-booster injections describe washing with water only on the treatment day and avoiding makeup, cleansing foam and irritating products such as retinol for the first 24 hours. They also advise moisturizing and avoiding saunas, heavy-sweating exercise and swimming for a week.

The explanation that bruising, swelling, injection marks, and pain can last up to 2 weeks is a general guideline covering various symptoms. You should not interpret this as the average duration for Rejuran injection bumps alone. You can ask during the consultation whether soothing aftercare is included with the individual product and what the total payment amount including VAT is.

One-line summaryAt Poen Clinic, compare the difference between individual procedures and bundled soothing aftercare, as well as the lifestyle guidelines applied to each procedure.

How much is Gangnam Rejuran?

You should first match the same product and dosage, and then compare the final amounts with added pain management and device tips. Below are the amounts listed on each clinic's website, checked on October 20, 2026.

ClinicHealer 2cc 1 SessionPrice Conditions
SeoulLeaguer Dermatology Clinic250,000 KRWVAT 10% not included
Reev Clinic GangnamConsult for dosage and number of sessionsCosmetic procedure VAT excluded guide
HealHouse Dermatology Clinic GangnamUnconfirmedCheck when consulting about products and applied items
Ocean Clinic Gangnam179,000 KRWVAT excluded, additional 30,000 KRW for Rejumate tip
Poen Clinic250,000 KRWConfirm VAT applicability before payment

Looking only at the amounts shown in the table, Healer 2cc at Ocean Clinic Gangnam is the lowest. However, if you add Rejumate, it becomes 209,000 KRW before VAT. This does not mean that the coverage including anesthesia and management is the same at other clinics.

The HB 2cc and cryo treatment at SeoulLeaguer Dermatology Clinic for 360,000 KRW, and the Healer 4cc, Rejuran I 1cc, cryo treatment, and soothing mask at Poen Clinic for 490,000 KRW consist of different products and dosages. Do not mix the standalone 2cc price; decide on the necessary areas and included treatments first, then get a quote.

One-line summaryThe place with a low base amount and the place where the injection/management setup I want is cheap may be different.

When is it possible to wash your face, apply makeup, and exercise?

Follow the clinic's instructions for the product and injection method you actually received. Reev Clinic Gangnam and Ocean Clinic Gangnam describe light makeup from the following day, while Poen Clinic's shared instructions distinguish water-only washing from cleansing-product and makeup use during the first 24 hours.

Time/SituationManagement Points to Check
On the day of the procedureWhether washing with water is allowed, which moisturizer to use, and how to protect from UV rays
Going out the next dayWhether light makeup is allowed and how to avoid rubbing the injection areas
Exercise, sauna, swimmingWhen it is allowed to resume these activities for the procedure I received
When concerned about marksDo not press or massage, and consult the clinic about progress and management

The action of pressing or rubbing strongly to quickly get rid of injection bumps is noted in the management guidelines of several clinics to be avoided. If itching or pain worsens or abnormal reactions occur, do not wait until the scheduled period and contact the clinic where the procedure was done. Inform the clinicians about any medications you are taking and do not stop them on your own.

One-line summaryRather than trying to advance the recovery date, check the specific instructions for washing your face, applying makeup, and exercising after the procedure you received.

If you have an important appointment, what should you ask the clinic?

If you first say whether it's for work or a shoot, or an event where your face needs to be shown up close, the consultation questions become more specific. It's hard to judge someone who has a face-to-face meeting the next day and someone returning to work after a vacation simply by saying they are both resuming their daily routine.

  • If you have an appointment the next day: Ask how visible the marks will be around your eyes and cheeks, and whether it would be better to adjust the product or procedure date.
  • If you postponed because of pain: Talk about the product and anesthesia experience you had before, and consult about pain management for this time.
  • If price is the biggest concern: Request a quote that includes the cost for the desired cc per session, tips, anesthesia, soothing aftercare, and VAT.
  • If the marks lasted a long time last time: Let them know which product you received in which area, and whether the remaining marks were bumps or bruises.

Rather than deciding on a specific amount or injection method just because there are only a few days left until the photo shoot, it is better to ask the clinicians who examined your skin about the possible plan.

One-line summaryFirst talk about the lifestyle you'll return to after the procedure and your previous recovery experiences, and then consult together about the products, methods, and schedule.

In summary

When comparing Rejuran, you should look at how recovery and pain are managed rather than just the number of days injection bumps last. Airnox and soothing aftercare at SeoulLeaguer Dermatology Clinic, makeup return guidance at Reev Clinic Gangnam, injector explanations at HealHouse Dermatology Clinic, tip cost distinctions at Ocean Clinic, and care guidelines at Poen Clinic each lead to different consultation questions.

  1. Distinguish the progression of injection bumps, bruises, and swelling.
  2. Compare the product and dosage, the injection method, and anesthesia together.
  3. When asking about the price, include tips, soothing aftercare, and VAT.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do Rejuran injection bumps usually last?

Reev Clinic Gangnam generally informs that Rejuran injection bumps last mostly 1–2 days, but the current page of HealHouse Dermatology explains that including bruising, it takes 2–7 days. Ask separately about the point when only the injection bumps subside and the point when even the bruising fades. The periods mentioned in reviews are also mixed between partial improvement and complete disappearance, so it is difficult to apply the same dates to everyone.

Does having larger Rejuran injection bumps mean the effect is better?

Do not judge the effectiveness solely by the size of the injection bumps. According to the explanation from the director of HealHouse Dermatology Gangnam, the fullness can vary depending on the amount and method of injection at a single point. It is better to consult together about the product I received, the injection conditions, and the subsequent progress.

Does SeoulLeaguer Dermatology Clinic include Airnox and soothing aftercare in Rejuran?

SeoulLeaguer Dermatology Clinic lists Rejuran 4cc and Airnox bundle at 570,000 KRW, and HB Premium 2cc and cryo treatment at 360,000 KRW, with 10% VAT not included. The dedicated page also provides information about in-clinic soothing masks and take-home packs. Ask which pain management and soothing aftercare are included with the treatment you want to book.

Is it okay to put on makeup the day after getting Rejuran?

Reev Clinic Gangnam and Ocean Clinic Gangnam recommend light makeup the next day. The common guideline for Poen Clinic's skin booster is to avoid makeup and harsh cleansing products for the first 24 hours. Please follow the clinic's instructions regarding the treatment you actually received and your skin condition.

Are there any additional costs at Ocean Clinic Gangnam Rejumate?

For Ocean Clinic Gangnam's Healer 2cc product, an additional tip cost of 30,000 KRW is shown when Rejumate is performed. Adding this to the base price of 179,000 KRW, it comes to 209,000 KRW before VAT. The Potenza pumping tip product is a separate item, so it should be distinguished.

Can I choose a clinic with a fast recovery based on Gangnam Unni and Babitalk reviews?

You need to first match the product, area, anesthesia, and recovery criteria in the reviews. The 3,004 cases in this article are existing review data by product and are not a comparison under the same conditions across five clinics. Use it as a reference for what care and recovery experiences to ask about, but do not change it into a ranking of recovery speed by clinic.
