Rejuran Healer and Botulax (South Korea’s botulinum toxin injectables for glow) are the two most frequently discussed Korean injectables on platforms like Dcard and PTT. What will be the market trends in 2026? Which one is more suitable for you? This article, based on actual feedback from Taiwanese users and real-time price information from clinics in Gangnam, will help you avoid low-price scams and choose the treatment that truly delivers results.
Hydrofiller injections have been popular in South Korea for several years, but in the past two years, due to the promotion on social media, their discussion volume has suddenly increased significantly in the Chinese-speaking community. Rejuran focuses on “skin repair” and “long-lasting moisturization,” while Chanel’s injections are designed to “reduce Pores” and “control oil production”; therefore, their target audiences and functional benefits differ somewhat. This article will provide a detailed comparison to help you make the most suitable choice based on your own needs.
💉 Rejuran vs Chanel injectables: Key differences and a guide to selection
Rejuran Healer is a PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotides)-based product that focuses on skin repair and dermal regeneration. It requires 2-3 weeks to see noticeable effects after injection, and the results last for approximately 3-6 months. Rejuran is particularly suitable for people with dry skin, fine lines, or those in need of post-surgical recovery.
In Taiwan and Hong Kong, “Chanel needles” generally refer to hyaluronic acid products containing botulinum toxin (such as Innotox or Coretox hyaluronic acid formulas from Botulax). Their main functions are to reduce Pores, control sebum production, and provide a slight glow; the effects are visible relatively quickly (about 1 week), but the duration is shorter (around 2–4 months). Chanel needles are most suitable for people with oily skin, enlarged Pores, or mild dynamic wrinkles.
The applicable scenarios for the two products are different: Rejuran is more suitable for people with dry, dehydrated skin, mature skin, or those experiencing mild pigmentation issues after inflammation; whereas Chanel injectables are better suited for young people with oily or combination skin and enlarged Pores.
The two can also be used in combination, but the interval between them and the order of administration should be determined by the clinic director. It is not recommended to decide on administering both types of injections simultaneously on your own. Generally, it is suggested to start with Rejuran for base repair, and then consider using the Chanel injection after an interval of 2 weeks.
💰 Detailed analysis of the market situation in Gangnam/Myeongdong clinics (based on actual data collected in April 2026)
Rejuran full-face injection (2 centum cores): Approximately 180,000 to 350,000 Korean won. The price difference mainly depends on the reputation of the clinic and whether the treatment is performed by the director himself/herself rather than a nurse. It is recommended to choose a clinic where the director performs the injections, as this ensures better results and safety. The advantage of manual injection is that the depth and dosage can be adjusted according to the skin condition, especially in delicate areas such as the eye area and Nasolabial Fold Correction.
Rejuran full-face injection (2 centum core): Approximately 120,000 to 250,000 Korean won. The advantage of injection with a machine is that it causes less pain and ensures even distribution of the product; however, the control over the depth of injection is not as precise as manual injection. If you are sensitive to pain or are trying hyaluronic acid injections for the first time, machine injection is a more suitable option.
Chanel injectables for the entire face (1 vial): Approximately 100,000 to 200,000 Korean won. Market prices fluctuate significantly; some clinics may offer promotional prices as low as 70,000 to 80,000 Korean won, but such low prices often come with risks regarding the quality of the clinic or the authenticity of the product. Extremely cheap Chanel injectables may be diluted or not be genuine original products.
Regarding manual injection versus machine-assisted injection: Manual injection of Rejuran causes more noticeable pain, but the clinic director can adjust the depth according to the skin condition, especially increasing the dosage in problem areas. Machine-assisted injection is relatively more comfortable, but the product is evenly distributed across the entire face, resulting in less targeted effect on specific areas. If budget allows, it is recommended to choose manual injection, as the results are usually more noticeable.
🚨 Low-price traps: Be cautious in these three situations
Trap 1: Counterfeit or diluted products. Some clinics use Rejuran or Chanel injections of unknown origin, or dilute the products before use, resulting in significantly reduced effectiveness. How to identify such products: Request the clinic to provide the original packaging and verify that the packaging remains intact before the injection. Genuine Rejuran and Chanel injections come with anti-counterfeiting labels and can be verified through official channels.
Trap 2: The injection is performed by a nurse rather than the director of the clinic. Injecting Rejuran manually requires a high level of technical expertise, and the depth and evenness of the injection are usually not as good as those achieved by an experienced director. It is recommended to ask clearly before making an appointment whether the injection will be performed by the director personally. Some clinics may use the vague term “under the director’s guidance,” but in reality, it is the nurse who performs the injection, so be particularly cautious.
Trap 3: Hidden additional fees in ultra-low-price promotions. Some clinics offer Rejuran packages at prices 50% lower than the market average, but once customers arrive at the clinic, they are informed that additional services such as makeup removal, skin cleansing, and post-treatment masks are required to enjoy this price. It is recommended to confirm in advance what items are included in the total price during the reservation process. If the total price is significantly lower than the market rate, you should be alert – there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
One last tip: The effect of hyaluronic acid injections is also related to the frequency of treatment. If what you want is for others to not notice any changes, but to see that your skin has improved, then getting regular injections once a season is likely to be more effective than receiving a large dose in one go. The skin’s repair and regeneration take time, and frequent treatments may actually cause unnecessary strain.
✅ Compilation of actual feedback from Taiwanese users and my recommendations
According to the sharing of Taiwanese users on Dcard and PTT, most people are satisfied with the results of Rejuran. In particular, the glow and moisture of the skin improve significantly 2-3 weeks after the procedure. However, it is important to be mentally prepared for the swelling that occurs 3-5 days after the treatment. Some people may experience bruising or swelling at the injection sites, but these are normal reactions that usually subside within 3-5 days.
Chanel’s injectables have received mostly positive reviews in terms of Reduction surgery for Pores and controlling sebum production. However, some users have reported that the effects appear quickly but also disappear just as fast, requiring frequent follow-up treatments. If you want to maintain long-lasting results, you may need to get additional injections every 2–3 months, and the total cost over time could be comparable to that of Rejuran.
Regardless of which option you choose, it is essential to avoid wearing makeup and to take extra precautions against sun exposure within the first 3 days after the procedure. If persistent redness persists for more than a week, please contact the clinic or BeautsGO customer service immediately. Allergic reactions are also possible, although the likelihood is very low; however, any such reaction must be addressed promptly.
