도영리쥬란 is a specialized treatment approach for the 더마샤인 device, devised by clinic director 이도영.

Its core feature is a substantial reduction in patient discomfort through an approach that moves beyond conventional syringes and machine-based injections.

The Core Principles of 도영리쥬란

This method, developed by dermatologist and clinic director 이도영, combines three basic concepts drawn from specialist expertise.

  1. Negative-pressure suction: Suction gently pulls the skin upward and holds it in place. This temporarily dulls sensation in the dermis, substantially reducing pain when the needle enters.
  2. Shallow, closely spaced microinjections: Small amounts of Rejuran are injected very superficially into the upper dermis at closely spaced points.
  3. Precise control: The injection speed and amount are finely adjusted to minimize stimulation of pain nerves. Precise handling, rather than uniform machine delivery, keeps product loss through leakage at a negligible level.

Comparison with Regular Rejuran

Category Regular Rejuran 도영리쥬란
Pain level Pain is substantial enough to make sedation or numbing cream essential Pain is mild enough for treatment to be possible without numbing cream
Raised injection bumps Raised bumps remain across the face for 2~3 days or longer Bumps are barely visible immediately after treatment or disappear within a few hours
Downtime Swelling, bruising, and marks can disrupt daily life for several days Return to daily activities on the same day (zero downtime)

Expected Benefits of 도영리쥬란

Although pain is reduced, Rejuran’s original ingredient, PN (polynucleotides), still reaches the dermis, allowing the same skin-regeneration benefits.

  • Improved deep dryness and oil–moisture balance: Increases the skin’s ability to retain moisture and resolves chronic deep dryness.
  • Skin-barrier recovery: Ingredients extracted from salmon DNA encourage damaged skin cells to repair themselves.
  • Improved firmness and fine lines: Promotes collagen and elastin production in the dermis, building firmer skin density.

Who Is It Recommended For?

  • People who want Rejuran’s benefits for texture and deep dryness but are very afraid of pain
  • People who are allergic to numbing cream and are prone to contact dermatitis after treatment
  • People with upcoming interviews, photo shoots, or weddings who cannot have visible skin marks or bruising
  • People who want to overcome their fear of injections and start skin-booster treatments comfortably

The standard recommendation for 도영리쥬란 (Rejuran) is an initial course of 3~4 sessions at intervals of 2~3 weeks (or 3~4 weeks). This regular boosting phase remodels the dermis, with effects lasting approximately 6 months to 1 year.

The exact intervals and session count should be adjusted to the individual’s skin type and degree of aging. Below are guidelines for 4 common skin types.

Recommended Intervals and Sessions by Skin Type

1. Very Dry Skin and Chronic Deep Dryness

  • Recommended interval: Every 2~3 weeks
  • Recommended sessions: 3~4 or more intensive sessions
  • Characteristics: The skin barrier is compromised and the oil–moisture balance is severely disrupted. Early on, the skin absorbs Rejuran as it is delivered, so the effects of the first 1~2 sessions may feel short-lived. At least 3 closely spaced sessions are needed to build up a fundamental improvement in the dermis’s moisture-retention ability.

2. Thin or Aging Skin (Fine Lines and Reduced Firmness)

  • Recommended interval: Every 3 weeks
  • Recommended sessions: 4 consecutive sessions
  • Characteristics: Because collagen and elastin in the dermis have declined considerably, 4 intensive sessions, which is 1 more than the usual baseline, are recommended. The focus is on building skin density to smooth fine lines and improve firmness.

3. Sensitive Skin and Redness

  • Recommended interval: Every 3~4 weeks
  • Recommended sessions: 3 sessions
  • Characteristics: Thin skin that is vulnerable to irritation may become overburdened if sessions are too close together. A sufficient interval of 3~4 weeks allows gentler care. By reducing pain and irritation, including the option to omit numbing cream, 도영리쥬란 is highly effective at strengthening the barrier of sensitive skin. [1, 2]

4. Oily or Combination Skin (Excess Oil and Enlarged Pores)

  • Recommended interval: Every 4 weeks
  • Recommended sessions: 2~3 sessions
  • Characteristics: For oily skin that lacks moisture, restoring the oil–moisture balance can reduce sebum production and make pores appear tighter. If the dermal environment is relatively healthy, improvements in complexion and reduced oiliness may be noticeable after around 2~3 sessions.

Tips for Longer-Lasting Effects (Maintenance Phase)

Once the initial 3~4 sessions are complete and the skin has reached its best condition, monthly injections are no longer necessary. After that, just 1 maintenance session every 4~6 months can keep the skin healthy and dewy throughout 1 year.

Care on Treatment Day (The Critical First 24 Hours)

  • Cleansing and makeup: The tiny needle entry points take about 2~3 hours to close. Wait at least 4~5 hours after treatment, or until the next morning, before washing with water or applying light makeup.
  • Do not touch your face: Bacteria entering through needle marks can cause folliculitis or breakouts. Do not touch, squeeze, or pick at the skin.
  • Skin care: On the day of treatment, avoid active products such as retinol, vitamin C, and AHA/BHA. Apply plenty of gentle moisturizing cream or repair cream instead.

What to Avoid for a Week (Preventing Side Effects and Allowing the Product to Settle)

  • Avoid heat: Do not use saunas, Korean heated bathhouses, bath facilities, or public baths for 1 week. Residual heat can interfere with absorption of the product in the dermis and cause inflammation.
  • Strenuous exercise and alcohol: Intense exercise, cardio that raises body temperature, alcohol, and smoking can dilate blood vessels and cause or prolong facial redness, swelling, and bruising. Avoid alcohol and strenuous exercise for at least 3~5 days.
  • Irritating skin treatments: Avoid strong facial friction, including firm facial massage, peeling, exfoliation, and scrubs, for at least 1~2 weeks.

Aftercare to Improve Results

  • Sunscreen is essential: Skin may be temporarily sensitive after treatment. Apply sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher thoroughly when commuting or going outdoors.
  • Water intake and repair cream: Rejuran draws moisture into the skin to support regeneration. Drink at least 2 L of water a day; drink plenty of water and layer repair cream morning and evening to help the skin recover much faster.
