I’m hitting the big 4-0 soon and I want to do something about the acne scars and dark marks from my youth. How do I repair my battered skin?

Your skin is drier now, leading to more visible lines. Oestrogen is also starting to dip, which affects collagen and elastin levels, so you’ll see sagging, especially at the neck and chest. Plus, pigmentation from cumulative sun damage begins to show on your face.

Rejuran Healer is an injectable treatment that’s said to repair damaged skin cells, promote cell growth, stimulate collagen formulation and protect skin. It’s made of polynucleotides (PN), derived from salmon DNA, and a doctor delivers it into the inner skin layer via micro-injections all over the face.
