Which material would you propose for my skin concern, and why?
SKINVIVE and Rejuran are both called skin boosters, but they are made from different materials. SKINVIVE, from Allergan Aesthetics, is a crosslinked hyaluronic acid gel containing 0.3% lidocaine that is injected into the dermis rather than used to add volume. Rejuran is based on polynucleotides. A product name does not set your plan; the concern, area and number of sessions do.
Jcell says mild redness or swelling after SKINVIVE usually settles within 1 to 2 days. For Rejuran, ask how many visits are proposed and what reactions to expect after each one. If you are visiting Seoul for a short time, ask how the schedule and any follow-up fit your dates.
Both involve injections. Tell your doctor about allergies, medications and previous treatments, and ask how a complication would be handled after you leave Seoul.

Your questions
Can SKINVIVE and Rejuran be done on the same day?
Ask your doctor. Combining injectables needs a reason, a plan for the areas involved and an explanation of the risks.
Is SKINVIVE better than Rejuran?
Neither is better for everyone. They use different materials, and your doctor can explain which, if either, fits your skin assessment.
