PDRN
Therapy
A polynucleotide-based injectable treatment for selected skin-quality concerns.
What is PDRN?
PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide) consists of DNA fragments known as polynucleotides. Unlike dermal fillers, PDRN acts as a bio-stimulator rather than a volumizing agent. Formulations and sources vary, and all treatments are subject to specific regulatory approvals. It is primarily used to support the skin's natural repair mechanisms rather than to physically fill lines or add structure.
Benefits & Areas
Hydration
May help support deep dermal hydration and moisture retention.
Elasticity
Support for improved skin texture, elasticity, and recovery.
Refinement
Potential fine-line improvement and skin quality refinement.
Treatment Plan
Common Treatment Areas: Face, neck, décolletage, and hands. Under-eye treatment is performed only when clinically appropriate. Your session includes a detailed consultation, informed consent, skin cleansing, application of topical anaesthetic, followed by precise intradermal microinjections. Plans are individualised. Results develop over days to weeks. Maintenance and session intervals vary depending on initial skin quality and clinical response.
Educational information only; individual assessment is required.

Suitability & Precautions
Treatment is not suitable for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Other contraindications include active infection or inflammation, known relevant source-material allergy, bleeding disorders, use of anticoagulants, and uncontrolled medical or autoimmune illness. A comprehensive clinical assessment is mandatory.

Safety
FAQs
PDRN vs Dermal Filler?
PDRN is a bio-stimulator focusing on skin health and cellular repair, whereas fillers primarily add physical volume or structure.
Source and Allergy?
PDRN is derived from specific biological sources; patients with known relevant allergies must disclose this during consultation.
Is it uncomfortable?
Topical anaesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort during the micro-injection process..
