PN Skin Booster for Acne / PDRN Skin Booster for Acne

What is PDRN Skin Booster for Acne?

PN / PDRN Skin Booster for Acne is formulated with a higher concentration of polynucleotides (PN) compared to the standard PDRN skin booster, and has a thicker consistency. This makes it more suitable for targeting depressed acne scars that are caused by collagen loss.

The formulation allows precise placement under the skin to support the filling of dented scar areas and improve surface irregularities. Treatment plans vary according to individual needs and are determined during a medical consultation.

How do acne scars form?

Acne develops when pores become clogged with excess oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. This can lead to inflammation and, in some cases, damage to the surrounding tissue. As the skin heals, the process may not be uniform.

  • When the skin produces too little collagen during healing, it can lead to atrophic scars, such as ice pick, boxcar, or rolling scars.
  • When the skin produces too much collagen, it may result in hypertrophic scars, which appear raised on the surface.

These variations explain why acne scars differ in depth, texture, and appearance.

How PN / PDRN skin booster may support acne scar reduction

A polynucleotide injection (PN injection) is delivered into targeted skin layers to support the repair of acne scars. With a thicker consistency, the formulation is suited for depressed scars as it can be placed under the skin to help improve irregularities.

  • Injection process: Microinjections deliver PN directly into areas where acne scars are present.
  • Key actions:
    • Stimulates fibroblasts to encourage new collagen production.
    • Supports hydration through hyaluronic acid activity.
    • Encourages natural skin renewal, which may improve skin texture.

As with any aesthetic procedure, the outcomes of PN/ PDRN acne scar reduction can vary for each individual.

How does it work?

PDRN Skin Booster for Acne has a higher viscosity as compared to the regular PDRN Skin Booster and it is great for treating depressed acne scars. The regeneration ability of PDRN Skin Booster, coupled with the higher viscosity, stimulates the fibroblasts in our skin to produce collagen. This in turn helps to smooth out our skin and plump up those acne scar depressions, giving us better skin texture.
