Skin ageing is a natural process, but changes in hydration, elasticity, and texture can become more noticeable over time. Fine lines, wrinkles, and dullness may appear as the skin’s natural renewal cycle slows down.
Developed in South Korea, the PN / PDRN Skin Healer offers a natural approach to hydrate skin and and rejuvenate skin cells from deep within, ultimately improving elasticity and repairing dry, damaged skin. It uses the active ingredient, polynucleotides (PN), a biological molecule known for its potential role in tissue regeneration and skin health. It naturally rejuvenates the skin cells by stimulating growth factors to accelerate the skin’s natural healing process to reverse skin damage, and increase collagen production. Over time, skin may appear smoother with smaller pore size, more supple, and revitalised, though individual results can vary.
A PN / PDRN skin healer is an injectable treatment that contains polynucleotides (PN), which are long chains of DNA fragments derived from salmon. These molecules have been studied for their potential role in supporting skin repair and rejuvenation. In aesthetic treatments, PN / PDRN is used to help improve hydration, elasticity, and overall skin texture.
The active ingredient is extracted from salmon DNA and processed for medical use under controlled conditions. It is delivered into the skin through a series of microinjections, allowing it to work beneath the surface to assist in the skin’s natural renewal processes.
The effectiveness of PN can be traced back to salmon DNA, a discovery supported by scientific studies on salmon DNA in skin applications (ScienceDirect). Research indicates that applying salmon DNA to human skin may improve elasticity, texture, and hyaluronic acid production, contributing to hydration. While results vary between individuals, such findings provide insight into the possible biological mechanisms behind PN / PDRN-based treatments.
The treatment works by depositing the active ingredients, polynucleotides (PN), into the mid to deep dermis of the skin through a series of precise microinjections. This is the layer just beneath the epidermis (outer skin), where collagen fibres, elastin, hyaluronic acid, and tiny blood vessels are found. These structures are essential for the skin’s strength, hydration, and repair.
By placing polynucleotides directly in the dermis:
Skin structure overview:
This targeted approach allows the treatment to work beneath the surface, where it can interact with the structures that support skin health. Skin booster injections can only be performed by trained medical professionals using sterile techniques aligned with medical standards.
A PN / PDRN skin healer may be considered by adults looking to hydrate, refresh, and strengthen their skin from within. This treatment is often chosen by:
As with any injectable procedure, this treatment is not suitable for everyone. People who are pregnant or breastfeeding, those with active skin infections, or individuals with allergies to the ingredients should avoid PDRN injections. A medical consultation at Halley Medical Aesthetics is required to determine suitability and tailor the treatment to each patient’s needs.
The use of polynucleotides (PN) derived from salmon DNA in this treatment provides multiple benefits that go beyond hydration alone. By supporting skin repair and collagen stimulation, a PN / PDRN skin healer treatment may help with:
Many patients describe a gradual, natural-looking improvement as the PN / PDRN skin healer continues to work beneath the skin surface, supporting repair and renewal.
Designed to tighten saggy skin, reduce wrinkles and fine lines, minimise pore size, reduce inflammation, and improve skin tone and overall skin health.
Combines hyaluronic acid with polynucleotides to deliver deep hydration, promote skin healing, and stimulate collagen production. It enhances skin quality, leaving it healthy and radiant.
The PDRN Skin Booster is versatile and can be effectively applied to various areas of the face and body, delivering rejuvenating benefits tailored to each region.
Face
Neck
The neck area often shows signs of ageing, such as fine lines, crepey skin, and sagging. PDRN Skin Booster treatment effectively improves skin hydration, providing a smoother and more youthful neckline.
Hands
Hands can reveal age more quickly than other body parts. PDRN Skin Booster rejuvenates ageing skin on the hands, reduces wrinkles, and restores youthful elasticity, resulting in a softer and more supple appearance.
Decolletage
The decolletage, often exposed to the elements, is particularly prone to sun damage, fine lines, and wrinkles. The PDRN Skin Booster treatment works to revitalise this delicate area, smoothing out uneven texture and reducing the visible signs of ageing. By restoring a radiant and youthful glow, it helps you feel more confident when wearing low-cut tops or dresses, letting you embrace your style with ease.
When considering a skin booster treatment, it’s important to understand the differences between options such as the PDRN Skin Booster, HA Biomodulator, and HA Skin Booster. Each offers unique benefits, but PDRN Skin Booster vs other skin boosters reveals key distinctions, particularly in its focus on healing and regeneration.
PDRN Skin Booster
PDRN Skin Booster is designed to go beyond superficial hydration by stimulating the skin’s natural healing processes. Its active ingredient, polynucleotides (PN), is derived from salmon DNA and is known for its regenerative properties. PDRN Skin Booster works by promoting collagen production and repairing damaged skin, which results in improved skin texture, elasticity, and overall skin health. This makes it ideal for those seeking long-term rejuvenation and recovery from skin damage caused by ageing, sun exposure, or environmental stressors.
HA Biomodulator
HA Biomodulator is primarily known for its ability to deeply hydrate the skin. It contains one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid available in skin boosters, which helps to plump the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines. HA Biomodulator focuses mainly on hydration and provides a youthful glow to the skin.
HA Skin Booster
HA Skin Booster is another skin booster that centres around hyaluronic acid, offering hydration and plumping effects. It is effective at improving skin moisture levels and smoothing fine lines, making it a popular choice for those looking for a quick boost to their skin’s appearance.
PDRN Skin Booster’s standout feature is its focus on skin repair and regeneration. On top of skin hydration, PDRN Skin Booster’s polynucleotides offer an additional layer of treatment by actively working to repair damaged skin cells and improve skin texture from within. This makes the PDRN Skin Booster an excellent choice for those seeking both cosmetic improvements and long-term skin health.
PDRN Skin Healer takes up to 6 weeks to see improvement. The treatment is best done 3-4 times at 2-4 weekly intervals and repeated every 3-6 months for maintenance of healthy skin.
