What is the difference between Rejuran and Skinvive?
Chemistry and intent. Rejuran Healer is a PDRN product — polydeoxyribonucleotide, sourced from salmon DNA — prescribed when skin quality itself needs repairing. Skinvive is a hyaluronic-acid booster from Allergan, placed as a field of small droplets to improve hydration and surface smoothness. Neither adds volume and neither lifts, so the choice comes down to repairing the skin or hydrating it. The units differ too: Rejuran is quoted per 2 cc here, Skinvive per 1 cc.
Which one is better for glow?
Depends what is dulling your skin. If the surface is simply dry and tight, hydration usually reads as glow quickly and a hyaluronic-acid booster is the more direct route. If the dullness comes from rough, damaged texture, hydrating it only masks the problem and a repair-focused course serves you better. The EVE 3D scan tells those two apart at the consultation, and the answer is often less flattering than the question hoped: some complexions read dull because of pigment or because of sleep, and neither injection fixes that.
Which is better for acne scarring or rough texture?
Neither is a scar treatment. For genuinely rough or damaged skin quality, a repair-focused PDRN course is the more logical of the two. True textured scarring is a different conversation involving other modalities, and it is the conversation we will have with you; a booster that cannot reach the problem is not the right treatment for it.
How much do Rejuran and Skinvive cost in Seoul?
At Dear Clinic, Rejuran Healer is ₩300,000 (≈ $215) for 2cc and Skinvive is ₩450,000 (≈ $320) per 1cc, with the Rejuran HB and Eye lines quoted at ₩400,000 (≈ $285) for 2cc. Because the units differ, ask for the total of your plan and ignore the two headline figures. Every rate is published and identical for residents and international visitors.
Can I have both, and in what order?
Yes, with spacing. Where skin needs both, the usual reasoning is to repair quality first and address hydration afterwards, so each treatment lands on skin that can respond to it. Your director sets the intervals from your scan and your travel dates. What we avoid is compressing both into one appointment because a schedule is tight.
How many sessions will I need?
A PDRN booster is planned as a short course of spaced visits, while a hydration field is treated in one appointment and reviewed before repeating. Exact numbers depend on your skin, so we quote your course at consultation instead of printing an average here. Nothing is added to the plan afterwards without asking you. If you are in Seoul for a fixed number of days, say so at the start: a course can be begun here and continued on your next trip, which is a better plan than compressing sessions into a week because a calendar demands it.
Are these fillers?
Not in the volumising sense. Both are boosters that work on skin quality instead of structure, and neither is placed to support a contour. Hyaluronic acid appears in booster preparations and in structural fillers alike, but the formulations and the injection depths are different. Where a diagnosis shows genuine volume loss, a filler is what we recommend and quote.
Which one hurts more?
Both involve multiple small injections, so both feel like a series of quick pinpricks under topical numbing applied beforehand. Sensitivity varies more between people than between the two products. Tell your director if a particular area is uncomfortable and the sequence can be adjusted.
Is there downtime with either?
Minimal for both, but plan a quiet evening. Injection points, small bumps and mild redness are common immediately afterwards and generally settle within a day or two, with occasional bruising possible. Most patients are comfortable with make-up the following day. Keep saunas, alcohol and hard exercise out of the first few days.
Which lasts longer?
Duration is not comparable in a useful way, because a course-based repair product and a single-visit hydration field are not measured on the same clock, and both vary with age, skin type, climate and lifestyle. We give you an expected range for your own skin in person, and review the result before proposing anything further.
Is either treatment safe?
Every injectable carries risk, which is why protocol matters more than the product name. Hyaluronic-acid injectables have a substantial safety literature covering facial vascular anatomy and the role of hyaluronidase, and polynucleotide boosters have their own published work; both bodies of literature are referenced at the foot of this page. Your medical history is reviewed before treatment and aftercare is included. Tell your director about autoimmune conditions, current medication, recent illness or any previous reaction to an injectable, and about allergies — a salmon-derived product is a reasonable thing to raise if you have a seafood allergy, and your director will discuss it with you directly.
Can I be scanned and treated on my first day in Seoul, and is the price the same for visitors?
Usually yes to the first, and always yes to the second. The scan and consultation happen in the first part of the appointment, and where your director confirms suitability, a Skinvive field or the opening Rejuran session can follow immediately. One published price list applies to everyone, with KRW as the payable amount and USD shown as a reference conversion. Send the consultation form below with your arrival and departure dates: we reply in English within one business day and hold the slot without a deposit. Dear Clinic is open 365 days a year including Sundays and public holidays, so a course can be started on day one and continued on a later visit.
