Rejuran bumps ("embossing"): what to know when your skin looks raised after treatment

1. Worried those little bumps will stay?

When your skin looks bumpy: Raised spots can appear after treatment; you may worry they'll stay; check the expected course you were given first — Datena Clinic explainer card
Raised bumps can appear after treatment

Hello, this is Datena Clinic.

If you notice several small bumps on your face after Rejuran, they can be more visible than you expected, and that can feel alarming.

And if you have to see people or wear makeup in a few days, you'll probably be even more anxious about when they'll settle down.

You might be tempted to press on them, but skin that's healing needs as little irritation as possible.

Below, we'll explain why these bumps (often called "embossing") form, how to care for your skin at home, and which reactions you should tell the clinic about.

2. Bumps settle down at different speeds

Settling time varies: Every skin is different; look at the injection sites and how they're reacting; if you're worried about progress, ask the clinic — Datena Clinic explainer card
Everyone's skin is different

How noticeable the bumps are and how quickly they fade can vary from one area of the face to another.

On areas where the skin is thinner, even small changes can be more noticeable.

Recovery can also vary depending on the specific product used and the treatment technique.

Rather than comparing yourself to other people's reviews to pin down an exact date they'll disappear, please follow the recovery timeline your treating clinic gave you.

3. Don't try to press them flat

Don't press with your fingers: Don't force them flat; don't rub or irritate the skin; follow the aftercare you were given — Datena Clinic explainer card
Don't force them down

Pressing on the bumps or massaging hard to flatten them irritates the skin.

Try not to keep touching the injection sites, and be gentle when cleansing and moisturizing.

Don't add hot compresses or harsh exfoliation on your own.

If you still feel some discomfort and aren't sure what care is okay, check with your treating clinic first.

4. Start makeup based on how your skin's surface looks

Makeup depends on your skin's surface: Check that the surface has settled; check for stinging or oozing too; resume when advised — Datena Clinic explainer card

If you still see needle marks or feel stinging, hold off on makeup a little longer.

Even once makeup is okay, go easy on repeated patting or rubbing to cover the bumps.

Use clean tools, and don't scrub hard when removing makeup, either.

If you have a photo shoot or an important event coming up, let us know before your treatment so we can plan the timing around how your skin may react.

5. Tell us right away about pain or changes in skin color

Let us know about these changes: Watch whether pain is getting worse; check for any change in skin color; contact the clinic about any reaction that worries you — Datena Clinic explainer card
Watch whether the pain is getting worse

Not every bump or bit of swelling can be explained away as "embossing."

If you notice any of the following, contact your treating clinic and have your skin checked.

  • Pain, warmth or redness that gets worse over time

  • Severe itching, or swelling across your whole face

  • Bumps that last a long time or keep getting firmer

  • Severe pain along with skin that turns pale or blotchy in color

If you have trouble breathing or any problems with your vision, seek emergency care immediately.

6. Wrapping up: Rejuran bumps

Embossing care summary: Recovery differs from person to person; don't press with your fingers; consult us about any unusual reaction — Datena Clinic explainer card
Recovery varies from person to person

After Rejuran, embossing should be assessed by looking at how raised the bumps are, how long they last, and whether they come with symptoms like pain, warmth or itching.

Don't try to press them flat yourself; stick to gentle care that won't irritate your skin, and watch how things progress.

If the discomfort grows or the reaction gets worse, have your skin checked at the clinic.

This has been Datena Clinic, walking you through Rejuran embossing and what to watch for during recovery.
