Who performs Rejuran I at Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong?
Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong's Rejuran I is injected personally by 2 licensed Korean co-directors -- Dr. Lee Wonjin (KR Medical License 143124, Daegu Catholic University College of Medicine, 2022) or Dr. Lee Kangin (KR Medical License 141247) -- with 15 to 20 minute consultation, zero nurse delegation, and same-physician continuity across the 3 to 4 session cycle. Periorbital skin thickness assessment, Fitzpatrick mapping, prior eye-area treatment history, bruising tendency, anticoagulant use and contraindication review are recorded on each patient's chart at the consultation. Patient may request either co-director when booking; if preference is unavailable, concierge will offer the alternative or reschedule at no charge. The co-director who consults you is the same physician who injects the 20 to 30 periorbital aliquots with a 30 to 32 gauge needle, reviews you at session 2, 3 and 4, and runs the photo-comparison follow-up. There is no junior-doctor rotation or third-party nurse application. Brand, lot, syringe expiry and total cubic centimeter count are charted at the time of injection.
How long do Rejuran I results last at Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong?
Rejuran I periorbital skin-quality improvement typically holds for 6 to 12 months at Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong after a full 3 to 4 session cycle, with maintenance sessions every 6 to 12 months recommended for sustained dermal remodeling. The polynucleotide signal triggers fibroblast collagen synthesis and capillary remodeling in the thin periorbital dermis, with peak visible benefit at week 8 to 12 after the final session of a cycle. A Korean multicenter cohort study (Annals of Dermatology 2022, DOI: 10.5021/ad.2022.34.4.273) demonstrated sustained skin-quality improvement at 12 and 24 weeks on standardized grading. Result longevity depends on baseline skin quality, sun exposure habits, smoking status, and consistent daily SPF 50+. Hormonal events and prolonged screen exposure can accelerate periorbital aging and shorten the maintenance interval. Some patients layer with <a href="/rejuran-myeongdong-seoul-korea/">Rejuran</a> full-face cycles or with <a href="/ultherapy-prime-myeongdong-seoul-korea/">Ultherapy Prime</a> SMAS lifting at separate visits to extend the duration of overall facial improvement.
How much does Rejuran I cost in Myeongdong Seoul 2026?
Rejuran I at Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong starts at KRW 139,000 (approximately USD 100) for a single 1cc periorbital session at event price, scaling to KRW 397,000 (approximately USD 285) for the 3-session starter cycle and KRW 519,000 (approximately USD 371) for the full 4-session cycle. Korea pricing runs 50 to 70 percent less than United States (USD 600 to 1,200 per equivalent periorbital PN/PDRN session at major US dermatology practices) and 35 to 50 percent less than Japan. Standard event pricing: single Rejuran I 1cc session KRW 139,000; 3-session cycle KRW 397,000; 4-session cycle KRW 519,000; combined eye 1cc plus full-face 2cc Rejuran KRW 319,000 per session; first-visit full-face Rejuran event KRW 129,000. Same KRW price applies to international and Korean patients with no surcharge. Final session count typically 3 to 4 confirmed at consultation after periorbital mapping. Korean medical-aesthetic skin-booster pricing is one of the drivers of the 600,000+ medical tourists attracted to Korea in 2023 per KHIDI data.
Rejuran I vs standard Rejuran (full-face) — which fits my eye area better?
The eye variant uses a thinner formulation specifically engineered for the periorbital field, while the standard 2cc Healer is sized for full-face skin quality. <table><thead><tr><th>Criteria</th><th>Rejuran I (eye 1cc)</th><th>Rejuran Healer (face 2cc)</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Formulation</td><td>Thinner viscosity for periorbital skin</td><td>Standard viscosity for face-wide dermis</td></tr><tr><td>Volume per session</td><td>1cc per eye-zone session</td><td>2cc per full-face session</td></tr><tr><td>Target zone</td><td>Lower lid, lateral canthus, tear-trough region</td><td>Cheek, forehead, perioral, full face</td></tr><tr><td>Injection points</td><td>20 to 30 small aliquots</td><td>50 to 80 grid aliquots</td></tr><tr><td>Cycle</td><td>3-4 sessions, 4 weeks apart</td><td>3-4 sessions, 4 weeks apart</td></tr><tr><td>Price (single session)</td><td>KRW 139,000</td><td>KRW 189,000</td></tr></tbody></table> Rejuran I is well suited for patients whose dominant concern is thin crepey lower-lid skin, fine periorbital lines, or tear-trough quality without volume deficit. <a href="/rejuran-myeongdong-seoul-korea/">Rejuran</a> full-face 2cc is well suited for patients whose dominant concern is face-wide pores, texture and elasticity. Many patients run both in parallel at separate visits or on a same-visit combined-session schedule with co-director sequencing.
Rejuran I vs Tear Trough Filler — which should I choose at Kind Global?
Rejuran I is regenerative (no immediate volume), while tear-trough HA filler adds immediate volume to the infraorbital hollow. <table><thead><tr><th>Criteria</th><th>Rejuran I</th><th>Tear Trough HA Filler</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Mechanism</td><td>PN polynucleotide regenerative signal</td><td>Cross-linked hyaluronic acid volume</td></tr><tr><td>Effect</td><td>Skin quality, texture, crepey skin softening</td><td>Volume restoration in infraorbital hollow</td></tr><tr><td>Onset</td><td>Week 4-12 cumulative</td><td>Immediate visible volume</td></tr><tr><td>Duration</td><td>6-12 months with cycle</td><td>12-18 months per syringe</td></tr><tr><td>Downtime</td><td>1-2 day pinprick, mild bruise risk</td><td>1-7 day bruising possible</td></tr><tr><td>Price</td><td>KRW 139k-519k per cycle tier</td><td>KRW 350,000-700,000 per syringe</td></tr></tbody></table> Rejuran I is well suited for patients whose tear-trough issue is skin quality and fine lines rather than true volume loss. <a href="/tear-trough-filler-myeongdong-seoul-korea/">Tear Trough Filler</a> is well suited for patients with a clear volume deficit visible in the infraorbital hollow. Some patients combine Rejuran I for skin quality with HA filler for volume at separate visits, sequenced 2 to 4 weeks apart. Co-director assessment determines whether your tear trough is a quality issue, a volume issue, or both.
Korean Rejuran I vs Western polynucleotide eye treatments — what's the difference?
Rejuran is a Korean-origin polynucleotide skin booster manufactured by Pharma Research; equivalent PN and PDRN periorbital products are available in select Western practices but at higher cost and lower physician familiarity. <table><thead><tr><th>Criteria</th><th>Korea (Kind Global)</th><th>United States / Western</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Product</td><td>Rejuran I (Pharma Research, KFDA-cleared)</td><td>Variable PN/PDRN imports or off-label</td></tr><tr><td>Single-session cost</td><td>USD 100 (KRW 139,000)</td><td>USD 600-1,200 per session</td></tr><tr><td>Application</td><td>Licensed Korean physician (Medical Service Act)</td><td>Physician or extender depending on state</td></tr><tr><td>Cycle frequency</td><td>3-4 sessions, 4 weeks apart, routine</td><td>Variable; often single-session offerings</td></tr><tr><td>Asian skin clinical data</td><td>Korean multicenter cohorts</td><td>Predominantly Caucasian cohort data</td></tr></tbody></table> Korean dermatology has the longest clinical experience with Rejuran because the product is Korean-origin and Korean Society of Dermatology literature spans more than a decade. Korean physician-only application under the Medical Service Act, integrated cycle scheduling, and lower out-of-pocket cost are reasons periorbital skin-booster cycles attract international visitors and contribute to the 600,000+ medical tourists drawn to Korea in 2023 per KHIDI data.
How painful is Rejuran I at Kind Global Myeongdong?
Most patients rate Rejuran I discomfort at 3 to 5 out of 10 with topical anesthesia at Kind Global Myeongdong; the periorbital field is more sensitive than the cheek, so adequate numbing time is essential. Topical lidocaine cream is applied for 20 to 30 minutes around the eyes before injection. Each pinprick is brief (1 to 2 seconds) and the full 20 to 30 point grid takes 8 to 15 minutes of active injection. Many patients describe it as quick small pinches rather than sustained pain. Patients with strong bruising history can request additional cold pack or vitamin K cream pre-treatment; nitrous oxide oxygen sedation (Aeronox) is available at additional cost for very anxious patients. Compared with <a href="/rejuran-myeongdong-seoul-korea/">Rejuran</a> full-face 2cc which uses 50 to 80 points, Rejuran I is faster and less cumulative discomfort. Patients on aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E or ginkgo for 48 hours pre-treatment have a higher bruise risk in the periorbital field; the co-director will recommend pausing these where medically safe.
What are the side effects and risks of Rejuran I?
Rejuran I is well-documented as a low-risk regenerative skin booster when injected by licensed physicians. Common temporary effects: 20 to 30 small pinprick marks fading in 24 to 48 hours, mild localized swelling for 2 to 6 hours, minor bruising in 10 to 20 percent of patients given periorbital vascularity (resolves in 5 to 7 days), and brief tenderness on the day of injection. Rare effects include small transient palpable nodules (resolve in 1 to 2 weeks; technique-mitigated with shallow intradermal placement), and very rare hypersensitivity reaction in patients with salmon or fish protein allergy. A prospective clinical evaluation (Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology 2021, DOI: 10.1111/jocd.13977) documented a low adverse-event rate with periorbital PN intradermal use when 30 to 32 gauge needles and intradermal depth were used. Contraindications include known salmon or fish protein allergy, active eye-area infection, severe inflammatory dermatitis in the injection field, pregnancy, breastfeeding, autoimmune disease in active flare and systemic immunosuppression without medical clearance. Your co-director reviews your full medical history at the consultation.
Is the Rejuran I syringe at Kind Global original Pharma Research?
Yes — Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong uses only Pharma Research original Rejuran I syringes, never refurbished, never grey-market, never parallel-imported. Each sealed syringe has a unique lot number, manufacturing date and expiry date printed on the package, with the Pharma Research brand label visible. Kind Global records the lot number, total cubic centimeter delivered, total injection points, gauge of needle used, and expiry on your patient chart at the time of injection. On request before injection begins, we will show you the unopened sealed syringe so you can verify the brand and lot against the Pharma Research database. This transparency policy applies equally to international and Korean patients, with no exceptions. Counterfeit skin-booster products have been documented by the KFDA in the Korean aesthetic market through enforcement reports; verifying brand and lot is a direct way patients can confirm authenticity before any injection begins.
How many Rejuran I sessions are needed and when do results appear?
The standard Rejuran I protocol is 3 to 4 sessions of 1cc per session, scheduled 4 weeks apart, with the cumulative regenerative effect emerging across weeks 4 to 12 after the final session. Patients with mild periorbital fine lines often see meaningful improvement after the 3-session starter cycle; patients with established crepey lower-lid skin typically need the full 4-session cycle. First subtle texture improvement is visible at week 4; cumulative dermal remodeling becomes clearly visible at week 8 to 12; the full result holds for 6 to 12 months before a maintenance session is recommended. Skipping sessions of the cycle reduces the total polynucleotide signal delivered to the dermis and undermines the regenerative effect — the 4-week spacing exists because each session builds on the prior fibroblast response. Patients hoping for immediate visible change should consider HA filler instead; Rejuran I is regenerative remodeling, not volumising filler. A booster session every 6 to 12 months is recommended for sustained periorbital skin quality.
Can I get Rejuran I as a same-day procedure when visiting Seoul?
Yes — same-day Rejuran I session 1 is routine for international visitors at Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong, although the full 3 to 4 session cycle requires return visits to Seoul or coordinated follow-up at a partner clinic abroad. Plan 60 to 90 minutes total in clinic for session 1: 15 to 20 minutes co-director consultation with periorbital mapping, 20 to 30 minutes topical anesthesia, 8 to 15 minutes active injection, 10 minutes cooling and aftercare brief. Flying home the next day is fine — Rejuran I has zero pressure-related contraindication and does not affect ear pressure, sinus, or scalp during flight. We recommend SPF 50+ around the eyes throughout your travel days and UV-protective sunglasses outdoors, and avoiding hot showers, sauna, jjimjilbang, hot yoga, and alcohol for 48 hours. Many medical-tourism patients run sessions 1 and 2 in Seoul on a 4-week return visit and complete sessions 3 and 4 at home with a partner clinic, or schedule a single intensive same-week protocol that compresses the cycle by physician judgement. If you message us via LINE Official, WhatsApp Business or WeChat before your flight from Tokyo, Bangkok, Madrid, Taipei or Shanghai, we can pre-confirm your syringe lot and cycle plan so in-clinic check-in takes under 5 minutes.
Do you have English-speaking staff and translators for Rejuran I consultation?
Both Kind Global Clinic co-directors conduct Rejuran I consultations directly in Korean and English at our Myeongdong 6F location. For Japanese, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese, HEIM Global concierge provides professional medical interpretation at no additional fee — message via LINE Official, WhatsApp Business, WeChat Official, or Telegram before your visit to schedule. Pre-treatment interpretation covers periorbital history-taking, allergy review (especially salmon or fish protein), bruising tendency disclosure, anticoagulant use, prior eye-area treatment history, contraindication review and cycle planning. Post-treatment interpretation covers aftercare, the 4-week cycle cadence, SPF and eye-makeup timing, and follow-up scheduling. Written treatment summaries with lot number, cubic centimeter count, gauge and aftercare instructions are provided in your language. For Arabic, Vietnamese, Thai or Russian, contact us via email at info.kindglobal@gmail.com to request a contracted interpreter for your visit window. KHIDI 2025 Medical Tourism Survey notes language accessibility is a top-3 factor for international patients selecting Korean clinics.
Can I combine Rejuran I with HIFU, RF or eye-area filler in the same visit?
Sequencing matters for combined eye-area plans at Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong. Rejuran I can be combined with full-face <a href="/rejuran-myeongdong-seoul-korea/">Rejuran</a> in the same visit (eye 1cc plus face 2cc) because both are regenerative polynucleotide. Tear-trough HA filler such as <a href="/tear-trough-filler-myeongdong-seoul-korea/">Tear Trough Filler</a> is typically scheduled at a separate visit 2 to 4 weeks before or after Rejuran I to avoid stacking bruise risk in the same vascular field. HIFU lifting such as <a href="/ultherapy-prime-myeongdong-seoul-korea/">Ultherapy Prime</a> and RF such as <a href="/thermage-flx-myeongdong-seoul-korea/">Thermage FLX</a> are delivered at separate visits, typically before or after the Rejuran I cycle, because energy-device heat into the periorbital field on the same day as fresh injectate is not recommended. Eye-area Botox for dynamic crow's feet can be combined at the same visit if the co-director sequences the Botox first away from the Rejuran injection points. Co-director consultation builds the sequence based on your face profile, downtime tolerance and Seoul visit window.
Is Rejuran I safe for sensitive eye-area skin or after recent laser?
Rejuran I is safe for sensitive periorbital skin in most patients when injected by a licensed physician with shallow intradermal technique at Kind Global Myeongdong. Patients with previous strong allergic eye reactions, severe blepharitis, active conjunctivitis or active eye-area dermatitis should defer until the underlying issue is settled. Patients who have had recent periorbital laser (within 4 weeks), recent isotretinoin (within 6 months), recent micro-needling around the eyes (within 2 weeks), or active herpes labialis or zoster outbreak should disclose this at consultation — the co-director may pre-treat with anti-inflammatory protocol, recommend a deferred date, or select a lower-volume approach. Patients with strong bruising tendency, on aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E or ginkgo should pause these for 48 hours pre-treatment where medically safe. Patients with thin eyelid skin or recent micro-needling may need a 2 to 4 week interval before Rejuran I. Co-director makes the final clinical call based on hands-on assessment and chart review.
How do I prepare for my Rejuran I appointment at Kind Global?
Before Rejuran I: avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E, ginkgo and alcohol for 48 hours pre-treatment to reduce periorbital bruise risk; hydrate well; eat a normal meal (Rejuran I is not performed under sedation, so a full stomach is fine); arrive with clean eye-area skin free of mascara, eyeliner, eye cream and contact lenses. Disclose any salmon or fish protein allergy, anticoagulant or antiplatelet medication, recent isotretinoin, recent periorbital laser, current herpes outbreak, pregnancy and contraception status on the consultation form. Bring sunglasses for the journey home if you bruise easily. Arrive 10 minutes early; if you messaged us in advance via LINE, WhatsApp or WeChat, paperwork is pre-completed. After Rejuran I: cold pack 10 minutes if periorbital swelling persists, sleep with head slightly elevated for the first night, SPF 50+ daily and UV-protective sunglasses outdoors, no eye rubbing 24 hours, no eye makeup 6 to 12 hours, no sauna or hot yoga 48 hours, no aggressive eye-area exfoliation 5 days, no other laser or microneedling around the eyes for 14 days. Photograph the periorbital area at the same lighting and angle every 2 weeks for chart comparison. Follow-up at week 4 for session 2 is pre-booked before you leave the clinic.
