PDRN (Salmon DNA) Skin Rejuvenation
PDRN, also known as Salmon DNA, is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that supports the skin’s natural repair and regeneration processes. PDRN stands for Polydeoxyribonucleotide, a highly purified DNA extract derived from salmon.
This innovative treatment helps improve skin quality, hydration, elasticity, and overall skin health. It is particularly popular for clients looking for a natural approach to healthy ageing and skin restoration.
What are the benefits of PDRN?
PDRN can help:
- Improve skin hydration
- Support collagen production
- Enhance skin elasticity and firmness
- Improve skin texture and skin quality
- Reduce the appearance of fine lines
- Support skin healing and recovery
- Improve dull or tired-looking skin
- Strengthen the skin barrier
Because of its regenerative properties, PDRN is often used as part of preventative anti-ageing
treatments as well as corrective skin rejuvenation programmes.
Which areas can be treated?
PDRN is suitable for several areas of the face and body, including:
- Face
- Eye area
- Neck
- Décolleté
- Hands
The delicate skin around the eyes is one of the most popular treatment areas, as PDRN can help
improve hydration, skin quality and fine lines in this difficult-to-treat area.
How is PDRN administered?
At Skin of the Future by Nina K, PDRN can be delivered in different ways depending on your skin concerns and treatment goals.

With mesotherapy, small amounts of PDRN are injected directly into the skin.
Benefits:
- Targets deeper layers of the skin
- Precise placement in specific treatment areas
- Ideal for intensive skin regeneration

During microneedling, tiny microchannels are created in the skin while PDRN is applied topically.
Benefits:
