Rejuvenate Your Skin With Microneedling and PDRN

Microneedling has been a gold standard skin treatment for years. As skin science evolves, so do the ingredients and serums that enhance your microneedling results. 

PDRN is a revolutionary addition to any microneedling treatment. This potent skin-rejuvenating drug is derived from salmon DNA. The regenerative benefits of PDRN speak for themselves, and patients often look younger and more revitalized after treatments.

Before undergoing any cosmetic services, you need to know key information and set realistic expectations. Let’s walk through the basics of PDRN microneedling. Find out how it works, why it’s so popular, and what it can do for your complexion.

What Is PDRN? How Salmon DNA Can Revitalize Your Skin

“PDRN” is an abbreviation for “polydeoxyribonucleotide.” Does this word sound a little familiar? That’s because deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) contains the genetic blueprint for every cell in your body.

Small, separate fragments of DNA derived from salmon sperm are used in PDRN treatments. These DNA fragments work wonders for skin rejuvenation.

Salmon DNA resembles human DNA enough to offer benefits at the cellular level. Since it has a similar molecular weight and structure, certain receptors in humans respond well to it. This allows PDRN to stimulate beneficial processes in the skin, including regeneration and collagen production.

The Benefits of PDRN for Skin Rejuvenation

Some PDRN skin benefits include:

• Increasing collagen production

• Boosting elastin

• Improving skin oxygenation (circulation)

• Promoting skin elasticity

• Reducing inflammation and irritation

• Boosting cellular repair and regeneration

Your skin naturally carries out these processes on its own, but aging and lifestyle factors can get in the way. PDRN gives your complexion an extra boost right where you need it most: directly in your skin cell matrix.

Combining the Benefits: Microneedling and PDRN Take Your Skin to the Next Level

PDRN salmon therapy is an innovative treatment that was originally popularized in South Korea, a country known for high-quality and state-of-the-art skin care. 

In the United States, PDRN is an active ingredient in many serums and skin care products already on the market. While these products are popular, even more dramatic benefits can appear during PDRN microneedling sessions. 

Microneedling increases serum absorption while working to rejuvenate skin at the same time. Specially formulated PDRN microneedling serums interact with your skin barrier through micro-channels to enhance your complexion. These two treatments combined revitalize your skin, starting at the molecular level.

One major benefit of incorporating PDRN into microneedling sessions is that PDRN speeds up your skin’s healing process for faster post-treatment regeneration. This helps reduce downtime and common side effects like mild redness, irritation, and dryness.

Why Microneedling Works So Well

During a microneedling session, a special pen is used to create tiny wounds in the surface of your skin. These micro-injuries trigger your skin’s healing mechanisms, stimulating collagen, elastin, and growth factor production.

The needles on the microneedling device are very small, and these tiny puncture wounds heal relatively quickly. In fact, microneedling is most often used to treat or prevent long-term skin problems like acne scars and wrinkles.

Microneedling helps with skin concerns like:

• Sagging skin

• Wrinkles and fine lines

• Acne scars

• Hyperpigmentation

• Enlarged pores

• Rough skin texture

• Stretch marks

• Rosacea

Unlike topical skin care products and treatments, microneedling penetrates the skin barrier to deliver more powerful results. When paired with specialized PDRN microneedling serums, the results are that much more impressive.

Who Should Get PDRN Microneedling? How to Know if You’re an Ideal Candidate

PDRN treatments (NYC) can help with a wide range of skin concerns. Since this treatment comes with minimal downtime and doesn’t require intense aftercare, it’s an ideal skin regeneration treatment for many patients.

All skin tones, skin types, and hydration levels can benefit from PDRN microneedling. You’re an ideal candidate if you:

• Suffer from dullness, dryness, or redness

• Are searching for potent anti-aging treatments

• Struggle with skin pigmentation issues

• Need faster tissue repair

• Have scarred, damaged skin from acne, aging, or sun exposure

• Notice skin laxity

• Want to boost collagen and elastin production

Since PDRN microneedling covers a broad range of skin needs and concerns, adults of all ages may benefit from these treatments.

PDRN microneedling is a great defense against visible signs of aging, especially in your late 30s and your 40s. You can also get preventive microneedling treatments in your 20s to protect against collagen and elastin loss, which starts at around age 25.

This treatment may not be the best fit for you if you struggle with sensitive skin, have an active acne breakout, or deal with skin flare-ups from an underlying condition. During your initial consultation, a physician will evaluate your skin health and determine whether this is the right course of action for your skin’s needs.

Other Skin Treatments to Pair With PDRN Microneedling

Although the results of PDRN microneedling are powerful by themselves, you may also need (or want) other cosmetic treatments to further enhance your appearance. A wide range of treatments can help with collagen stimulation, anti-aging, and specific skin concerns.

Laser Skin Treatments

The PDRN–laser treatment combo can’t be beat. Much like microneedling sessions, laser skin treatments allow for deeper absorption of PDRN serums by opening up parts of your skin barrier.

Lasers can target concerns like scars and hyperpigmentation, while PDRN serums regenerate and soothe the affected skin.

Injectables

You’ve probably seen cosmetic injectable clinics in NYC advertising treatments like dermal fillers and Botox. These are known as “injectables,” and they’re extremely popular for patients of all ages.

The benefits of pairing microneedling and fillers are extensive. Dermal fillers add youthful volume to your face while plumping and hydrating your skin from the inside out. This internal hydration boost helps with the microneedling healing process.

Injectables are a great way to enhance your results, especially if your primary concerns are wrinkles, fine lines, and loss of skin laxity.

Exosomes and Peptides

You can add exosomes and peptides to your microneedling treatments to complement the effects of PDRN. Exosomes come from stem cells, which are your body’s “blank slate” cells that can develop into regenerative skin cells and other helpful tissues.

Peptides offer some anti-aging benefits, and certain ones boost skin healing and rejuvenation after microneedling.

Ask your physician which add-ons are best for your skin goals.

What to Expect: Treatment Timelines and Processes

From your initial consultation until your maintenance PDRN microneedling sessions, you deserve to feel supported and informed. Here’s what you need to know about the process.

Skin Consultation

You’ll come in for a consultation before booking your first session. A physician on the team will review your medical history and discuss your aesthetic goals with you. They’ll take a look at your skin and come up with a personalized treatment plan that meets your skin’s needs.

Preparing for Your First Appointment

Microneedling treatments work best when your skin is already hydrated and protected from the sun. For the best results, you should stop using chemical exfoliants (acids) and other strong skin care products at least one week before your appointment.

Pro skin care tip: Incorporate a hyaluronic acid serum into your routine to keep your skin barrier strong and hydrated before and after microneedling treatments.

What to Expect During PDRN Microneedling Sessions

Supportive staff will welcome you into the office and take you to your treatment space. There, they’ll apply numbing cream to make the treatment as comfortable as possible.

Once the numbing takes effect, the physician will use a special microneedling device to create micro-wounds and infuse a biocompatible PDRN serum into your skin at the same time.

The PDRN works to promote faster healing and enhance the benefits of microneedling. Some microneedling serums also include beneficial peptides and exosomes for stronger anti-aging effects.

Microneedling sessions typically take 30 minutes to an hour, depending on how long the numbing cream takes to kick in and the size of the treatment area.

How Many Sessions Will You Need?

Your treatment timeline will depend on the severity of your skin concerns and how satisfied you are with your initial results. Most patients come in for three to eight sessions total, with yearly maintenance appointments after the treatments are complete.

Every microneedling appointment should be scheduled at least four weeks after the most recent one. This gives your skin plenty of time to heal and soak up the benefits of PDRN before your next session.
