Key points
Clinic guidance varies. Reviewers reported both improvement on the treatment day and bumps that remained after a week.
Some reviewers wore light makeup the next day without disruption to daily life. Raised bumps, bruises and red needle marks nevertheless settled at different times.
Skip makeup on the treatment day, then consider both elapsed time and skin condition. The Rejuran instructions specify 12 hours without makeup. Dr. Evers Clinic, Songdo advises at least 24 hours for Rejuran I. Do not cover sites that are still bleeding or oozing.
Do not book treatment immediately before an important shoot or event solely because makeup is described as possible the next day. Some reviewers could not conceal eye-area bruising with makeup.
Allow roughly 2–3 days for bumps, and assess elapsed time and skin condition before makeup.
What did reviewers say about bumps and makeup?
Among the 598 Gangnam Unni Rejuran posts checked by Gangnam Beauty Check, 203 mentioned bumps. Among 116 related Babitalk posts, 60 did. Some described improvement within hours; others still had bumps and bruises on day two.
Makeup experiences also differed. A Gangnam Unni reviewer wore light makeup the next day without disruption to daily life. A Babitalk reviewer said the bumps had gone but needle marks needed makeup. Other reviewers found eye-area bruises difficult to conceal.
| Platform | Posts reviewed | Mentioned bumps |
|---|---|---|
| Gangnam Unni | 598 | 203 |
| Babitalk | 116 | 60 |
Different experiences the next day
그래서 그런지 다음날 생각보다 멍이 없어서 살짝 화장하고 일상생활도 바로 가능했어요!!! English translation: There was less bruising than I expected the next day, so I could wear a little makeup and carry on with daily life right away!
Gangnam Unni, updated 10 June 2026. Rejuran Healer excerpt; treatment centered on the butterfly zone of the cheeks.
2일차인 오늘 엠보는 아직 남아있고, 멍은 꽤 들었습니다 ㅠㅠ English translation: Today is day two. The bumps are still there, and I have quite a lot of bruising.
Babitalk, treatment date 14 July 2025. Skin-booster excerpt describing a first Rejuran treatment.
Reviews included both comfortable daily activity the next day and marks lasting several days.
How many days do Rejuran bumps usually last?
These bumps are small raised areas at injection sites. U&I Clinic, Busan describes 2–3 days, or 5–7 days depending on skin thickness and the area. Muse Clinic, Gimhae gives a range from 2–3 days to about a week.
Different products and areas should not be reduced to one timetable. Dr. Evers Clinic, Songdo describes around 24 hours, sometimes 2–3 days, for Rejuran I. Celita Clinic describes 1–2 days for HB Plus. These are individual clinics’ guidance, not guarantees that everyone will be mark-free by then.
Gangnam Unni posts included improvement after two hours and substantial improvement after 5–6 hours. A Babitalk post described a day or two. Quick-recovery reviews alone cannot establish that your face will look clear the next day.
| Clinic guidance | Product | Bump duration |
|---|---|---|
| U&I Clinic, Busan | Rejuran | Usually 2–3 days; 5–7 days depending on skin thickness and area |
| Muse Clinic, Gimhae | Rejuran | From 2–3 days to about a week |
| Dr. Evers Clinic, Songdo | Rejuran I | Usually 24 hours; sometimes 2–3 days |
| Celita Clinic | Rejuran HB Plus | Usually 1–2 days |
Bumps that settled the same day or after a day or two
엠보싱은 두시간 지나니까 바로 가로앉네요 후처치를 잘 해주셔서 그러지 않았카 싶기두 하구용! English translation: The bumps settled after two hours. I wonder if that was because they did the aftercare well!
Gangnam Unni, updated 29 September 2026. Excerpt from a Rejuran Healer review; the aftercare explanation is the reviewer’s interpretation.맞고 나면 얼굴에 엠보싱 올라오는데 저는 한 5~6시간 정도 지나니까 대부분 가라앉았습니다. English translation: After treatment my face had bumps, but most settled after about 5–6 hours.
Gangnam Unni, updated 11 March 2026. Rejuran Healer excerpt.리쥬란 엠보는 하루이틀이면 사라지지만 사람마다 멍이 들수도 안들수도 있음 English translation: Rejuran bumps disappear in a day or two, but whether you get bruises varies.
Babitalk, treatment date 23 July 2026. Original post tagged Rejuran Healer.
Clinic guidance checked on 2026-10-19. Duration starts at treatment. These descriptions concern different products and areas.
Clinic guidance commonly describes 2–3 days, sometimes up to a week.
Why do bruises and needle marks remain after the bumps flatten?
Muse Clinic, Gimhae notes that needle marks and bruises may last 1–2 weeks. A review saying the bumps lasted two days therefore does not establish that makeup-free work will be possible two days later.
One Gangnam Unni reviewer described bumps for a day or two and needle marks for roughly two more days. Another still had some bumps after a week and needed about two weeks before cushion foundation alone concealed the marks. A further reviewer reported bumps lasting four days.
Distinguish a raised area from a flat mark that retains its color. Do not repeatedly press a makeup puff hard against the skin or push down remaining bumps to flatten them.
Marks that remained after the bumps improved
맞고서 하루이틀은 엠보싱 있었고 그 후 2일 정도도 주사자국 등은 있었어요. English translation: I had bumps for a day or two, then needle marks and such for about another two days.
Gangnam Unni, updated 4 September 2026. Rejuran Healer excerpt.이번엔 처음으로 엠보 4일 갔어요~ English translation: This time, for the first time, the bumps lasted four days.
Gangnam Unni, updated 16 June 2026. Rejuran Healer excerpt.일주일후에도 엠보가 약간? 있는게 있고 주사자국은 너무 많음 ㅜㅠ 이주정도는 되어야 컨실러 없이 쿠션으로만으로도 커버 가능. English translation: Even after a week I still had a few bumps and lots of needle marks. It took about two weeks before cushion foundation alone covered them without concealer.
Gangnam Unni, updated 23 May 2026. Rejuran Healer excerpt describing when makeup concealed the marks.
Bruises and needle marks can outlast the raised bumps.
Can you wear makeup the next day: should you wait 12 or 24 hours?
The instructions for Rejuran, Rejuran I and Rejuran S specify no makeup for 12 hours after injection. Clinic guidance can be longer: U&I Clinic, Busan says the next day, while Dr. Evers Clinic, Songdo specifies at least 24 hours for Rejuran I. Celita Clinic also advises avoiding makeup on the day of HB Plus treatment.
An evening appointment followed by work the next morning may leave less than 12 hours, even though the date has changed. If your clinic specifies 24 hours, do not shorten that to 12. Without individual instructions, allow the treatment day off makeup and consider roughly 24 hours together with skin condition the following day.
Muse Clinic, Gimhae also has wording allowing washing and makeup after 2–3 hours, but this is shared advice covering several skin-regeneration injections. It should not be taken as permission to shorten the Rejuran product instructions’ 12-hour restriction.
Before resuming makeup, check that injection sites have closed and are not bleeding or oozing. Stop if even light application stings or worsens redness. Do not press hard with a puff to conceal bumps. Being able to apply makeup does not mean it will hide the raised texture.
| Source | Makeup guidance | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Rejuran instructions | Avoid for 12 hours after injection | Rejuran, I and S; not the HB Plus instructions |
| U&I Clinic, Busan | From the next day | A new calendar day is not necessarily 12 or 24 elapsed hours |
| Dr. Evers Clinic, Songdo | At least 24 hours | Rejuran I guidance |
| Celita Clinic | Avoid on the treatment day | Rejuran HB Plus guidance |
A reviewer who concealed needle marks with makeup the next day
엠보는 당일에만 있었고 다음날 싹- 없어졌습니다! 다음날 주사자국이 있긴 했지만 화장으로 충분히 커버되는 정도구요! English translation: The bumps were only there on the treatment day and were gone the next day. Needle marks remained, but makeup covered them sufficiently.
Babitalk, treatment date 2 November 2024. Excerpt describing device-assisted Rejuran HB, Shurink and forehead filler removal; not Rejuran alone.
Observe the product instructions’ 12-hour restriction and any longer wait advised by your clinic.
What about work the next day or an important event after the weekend?
Some reviewers resumed daily activities with light makeup the following day. Another had treatment on Friday evening and still had shallow bumps, bruises and red marks when returning to work on Monday.
You may be able to work normally while marks remain visible at close range. For a shoot or wedding where appearance matters, allow for the longer end of your clinic’s recovery guidance rather than assuming a few days will suffice. Eye-area reviews describing longer-lasting bruises are also relevant.
| Your plans | What to allow for |
|---|---|
| Work the next day | Bumps or bruises may remain visible despite light makeup. Count the hours after an evening treatment. |
| Weekend treatment, Monday work | Some reviewers still had marks on Monday; two days is not a guaranteed recovery window. |
| A shoot or event in a few days | Consider bruises and needle marks as well as bumps. Clinic guidance includes marks lasting 1–2 weeks. |
| Treatment was today | Avoid covering it with heavy makeup. The next day, consider your skin and the waiting time your clinic specified. |
Marks that remained when returning to work after the weekend
금요일 저녁에 시술받고 월요일에 출근하는 데 아직 얕은 엠보와 부분적인 멍 또는 붉은 시술 흔적이 있어서 English translation: I had treatment on Friday evening and still had shallow bumps, some bruises or red treatment marks when going to work on Monday.
Gangnam Unni, updated 22 May 2026. Rejuran Healer excerpt; the reviewer later described wearing and then removing a mask at work.
Returning to work does not necessarily mean bumps and bruises will be invisible.
Do eye-area Rejuran and HB Plus have the same recovery timetable?
A Gangnam Unni reviewer said the mid-cheek area improved substantially the next day while bumps under the eyes and near the nasolabial folds remained for about two days. A Rejuran I reviewer also described bruises that were difficult to hide with makeup.
HB Plus differs in composition from standard Healer. Celita Clinic describes PN combined with hyaluronic acid and lidocaine, and gives 1–2 days for small bumps. A Gangnam Unni HB Plus reviewer reported that the bumps disappeared that evening. This does not establish same-day recovery for everyone receiving HB.
When comparing recovery, identify Healer, I or HB Plus and the treated area, not just the Rejuran name. Combining eye-area bruising with whole-face injection bumps as one recovery pattern can lead to an unrealistic estimate of time off.
Reviews identifying the product and treated area
이번에도 볼 중간쪽은 다음날 많이 가라앉았는데 눈 아래쪽이나 팔자? 피부 좀 얇은 부분은 엠보가 이틀정도 남아있어요 English translation: The middle of my cheeks had mostly settled the next day, but under my eyes and near the nasolabial folds the bumps remained for about two days.
Gangnam Unni, updated 5 July 2026. Rejuran Healer excerpt; the current treatment was by hand and the earlier one used a device.다운타임 짧게 잡으면 4일은 될듯 ㅠㅜ화장으로 가려지는 멍이 아니네요 English translation: I think I would need at least four days of downtime. These bruises do not cover with makeup.
Gangnam Unni, posted 29 June 2026. Under-eye Rejuran I hand-injection excerpt; four days was the reviewer’s estimate.맞은 후에는 엠보자국은 바로 저녁쯤 사라졌고, English translation: The bump marks disappeared that same evening.
Gangnam Unni, updated 3 June 2025. Rejuran HBPLUS excerpt.
Consider eye-area treatment and HB Plus separately from standard Rejuran Healer.
Do hand injections or injector devices leave fewer bumps?
A Babitalk reviewer reported that bumps settled two days after device-assisted injection. Even when one person has experienced both methods, differences in dose, area and aftercare prevent attributing faster recovery to the device alone.
In a 2026 study, 30 adults received Rejuran Healer in both cheeks. One side received small intradermal needle injections; the other received deeper subdermal cannula injections. Three sessions four weeks apart produced 90 treatment sessions per method, not 90 participants.
Bruising occurred in 16 of 90 needle sessions and 12 of 90 cannula sessions; all bruises resolved within a week. Itchy red papules occurred in 9 and 1 sessions respectively, with medication prescribed by a doctor in some cases. These itchy red papules must not be counted as the same reaction as ordinary immediate injection bumps.
The study changed injection depth and distribution as well as the instrument. It did not compare hand injections with an automatic injector, test makeup timing or compare HB Plus recovery. With only 30 participants, its figures should not be treated as everyone’s probability of a reaction. They support the narrower point that different injection approaches can produce different experiences.
| Recorded reaction | Intradermal needle | Deeper cannula |
|---|---|---|
| Bruising | 16 / 90 sessions | 12 / 90 sessions |
| Itchy red papules | 9 / 90 sessions | 1 / 90 sessions |
A device-injection review describing day-two recovery
기계방식이라 거의 안아팠고 시술이틀뒤 엠보싱도 다 가라앉았어요. English translation: It was device-assisted and barely hurt; the bumps were all gone two days later.
Babitalk, treatment date 27 December 2024. Excerpt tagged other treatment; the body identifies device-assisted Rejuran.
Study: DOI 10.1111/jocd.70946, 2026. Randomized split-face comparison, 30 participants, three sessions four weeks apart. Table denominators are treatment sessions, not people.
Reviews alone cannot establish which method makes bumps settle faster.
Should you press or massage the bumps to make them disappear faster?
Celita Clinic advises avoiding touching or rubbing for 6–12 hours after treatment. Dr. Evers Clinic, Songdo also recommends avoiding irritation. A clinician’s actions during a procedure are different from self-massage at home.
Washing advice varies. U&I Clinic, Busan gives 2–3 hours; Dr. Evers Clinic, Songdo gives 4–5 hours for Rejuran I. Follow the instructions for your product and procedure, and wash gently without rubbing. Permission to wash is not permission to apply makeup at the same time.
Follow your clinic’s moisturizing and sun-protection advice, and postpone heat exposure such as saunas or steam baths. Rejuran instructions advise avoiding excessive sunlight, UV, strong cold and heat for two weeks after injection.
- Washing
- Wait the advised time, wash gently and avoid rubbing hard with a towel.
- Makeup
- Skip the treatment day; later assess elapsed time, bleeding, oozing and irritation.
- Remaining bumps
- Do not squeeze or press them flat.
- Plans
- Avoid saunas, steam baths and strong heat, and follow aftercare instructions.
Do not press or massage the bumps at home to flatten them.
What if bumps remain after a week or become redder and more painful?
Distinguish small bumps that are shrinking from areas becoming newly red, itchy or painful. The product instructions describe mild inflammation, itching or pain lasting about a week, but advise prompt medical assessment if inflammation persists beyond a week or another adverse reaction appears.
One reviewer described skin trouble continuing for several days after the bumps settled. That does not establish the cause of your own symptoms. If pain, redness or swelling worsens, or new symptoms appear, contact the treating clinic rather than waiting a full week.
Tell the clinic the treatment date, product, treated area and whether the changes are improving or worsening. A photograph from the previous day under similar lighting can help explain the change. Seek an assessment rather than applying acne products or steroid ointment to remaining bumps on your own.
A reviewer who had other symptoms after the bumps settled
엠보는 1-2일만에 다 들어갔는데 그뒤로 파부트러블처럼 며칠감 . English translation: The bumps went down in 1–2 days, but then something like skin trouble continued for a few days.
Gangnam Unni, updated 2 March 2026. Rejuran Healer excerpt; no diagnosis or cause of the skin trouble was stated.
Contact your clinic if redness or pain worsens; do not wait for a full week.
Do no bumps mean no effect, or longer-lasting bumps mean better results?
U&I Clinic, Busan explains that bumps may not appear and that their absence does not mean treatment was ineffective. A review describing longer-lasting bumps likewise does not prove better delivery or better results.
Being able to wear makeup does not mean recovery without visible marks. Gentle application and an appearance with no visible bumps or bruises are different milestones. The time you need depends on whether the goal is returning to work or looking mark-free in important photographs.
Neither absent bumps nor longer-lasting bumps establish how effective treatment was.
How should you plan makeup and work after Rejuran?
Bumps commonly call for 2–3 days, but plans sensitive to bruises and needle marks may need more than a week. Reviews included both normal daily activity the next day and visible marks after the weekend.
If you need makeup the next day, count from your appointment time. Do not shorten the product instructions’ 12-hour restriction, and follow a 24-hour wait if your clinic specifies it. Worsening redness or pain calls for assessment rather than concealment.
Allow for visible marks at work and base makeup decisions on elapsed time and skin condition.
Frequently asked questions
How long do Rejuran bumps usually last?
U&I Clinic, Busan and Muse Clinic, Gimhae commonly describe 2–3 days, sometimes 5–7 days or about a week. Reviewers reported both same-day improvement and bumps remaining after a week. Bruises and needle marks can last longer than the bumps.
Can I use cushion foundation or other foundation the next day?
The Rejuran, I and S instructions specify 12 hours without makeup; Dr. Evers Clinic, Songdo specifies at least 24 hours for Rejuran I. Follow a longer wait if your clinic advises one. Delay makeup and seek assessment if bleeding, oozing or significant irritation remains.
Will Friday treatment be unnoticeable by Monday?
A Gangnam Unni reviewer still had shallow bumps, bruises and redness on Monday. Comfortable daily activity is not the same as having no marks visible at close range. Do not assume two weekend days guarantee recovery before important meetings or photographs.
Can makeup hide Rejuran I bruises the next day?
Some reviewers found eye-area bruises difficult to conceal, so next-day coverage is not assured. Dr. Evers Clinic, Songdo describes bumps lasting around 24 hours, sometimes 2–3 days, but bruises can follow a different timetable. Allow for bruising when planning important events.
Do Rejuran HB bumps settle sooner?
Celita Clinic describes small HB Plus bumps lasting about 1–2 days. A reviewer reported same-evening improvement, but this article does not cite a controlled comparison of HB and standard Healer recovery. The name HB alone does not establish a mark-free next day.
Can I massage the bumps away?
Do not press or rub them away at home. Celita Clinic advises avoiding touching or rubbing the area for 6–12 hours after treatment. A clinician’s treatment steps are not instructions for self-massage.
Does a lack of bumps mean the treatment did not work?
U&I Clinic, Busan explains that no visible bumps does not mean no effect. Longer-lasting bumps do not establish better results either. Do not assess effectiveness from bump size or duration alone.
Can I keep waiting if bumps remain after a week?
The product instructions advise prompt medical assessment for inflammation persisting beyond a week or other adverse reactions. Do not wait a week if redness, pain or swelling is getting worse. Give the treating clinic your treatment date, product, area and symptom changes.
