PDRN, widely known as the "Salmon Injection," is a premier skin booster treatment that enhances the skin's innate regenerative power. While many patients choose this procedure based on its name alone, understanding the core principle of how its DNA fragments function is essential to achieving true results. PDRN is a substance extracted from salmon milt, which possesses a molecular structure similar to human DNA, offering an exceptional ability to directly aid the recovery of damaged skin tissue and alleviate inflammation.
PDRN is often confused with Rejuran; however, while both are derived from salmon, they differ significantly in molecular size and primary roles. While the PN (Polynucleotide) in Rejuran is a high-molecular substance that acts as a scaffold to provide structural support to the skin, PDRN is a relatively low-molecular substance focused more intensely on cellular regeneration and anti-inflammatory effects. Consequently, PDRN is highly effective for improving acne marks, minor scarring, and overall skin fatigue rather than simple elasticity enhancement.
PDRN injections are particularly recommended for those concerned with deep-seated blemish marks, fine scars, or a slowed recovery rate where skin regeneration is no longer what it used to be. Once the active ingredients are delivered deep into the skin, they stimulate fibroblast proliferation to promote collagen production and aid in angiogenesis, restoring the skin's natural health. This process is not merely a temporary surface-level improvement but rather a fundamental strengthening of the skin's internal resilience.
At LV Plastic Surgery we prioritize precision diagnosis tailored to individual skin conditions over standardized treatments. Depending on the patient's symptoms, we may perform PDRN as a standalone treatment or design a customized combination with Rejuran or Exosomes to maximize synergy. By blending the most essential ingredients in optimal proportions through the diagnosis of our skilled medical team, we enhance both the efficiency and the satisfaction of the procedure.
To achieve effective results, we typically recommend a course of three or more sessions at intervals of two to three weeks, followed by periodic maintenance to sustain a healthy complexion. As the post-procedure period is when skin regeneration is most active, careful attention to moisturizing and sun protection will positively impact the final outcome. With LV’s systematic aftercare, you can personally experience a transformation toward clearer, healthier, and more revitalized skin.
