SALMON DNA FACIAL: HOW IT WORKS

PDRN treatments are a cutting-edge innovation in skin regeneration.

They are DNA fragments purified and extracted from the sperm of salmon trout or chum salmon. As salmon DNA shares 95% similarity to human DNA, it is biocompatible with the human body. PDRN contains a mixture of double-stranded deoxyribonucleotides with a molecular weight ranging from 50 to 1,500 kDa. Furthermore, PDRN is scientifically proven to have multiple effects that can help improve skin health.

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY EFFECTS OF SALMON DNA

PDRN exerts its anti-inflammatory effects at the cellular level by activating adenosine A2A receptors and enhancing "salvage pathways." These mechanisms target the oxidative stress that damages skin cells. By reducing the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and stimulating anti-inflammatory cytokine production, PDRN regulates inflammation, which accelerates skin healing and promotes repair.

COLLAGEN SYNTHESIS PDRN

One of PDRN's primary functions is to stimulate collagen production. By increasing fibroblast activity, PDRN helps to restore the skin's natural collagen and elastin levels, counteracting the effects of intrinsic aging. This process supports the extracellular matrix (ECM) and helps maintain the skin's structure, leading to firmer, more youthful-looking skin.

ANGIOGENESIS AND TISSUE REPAIR BY PDRN

PDRN plays a critical role in tissue repair by enhancing the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a protein that promotes the formation of new blood vessels. This process, known as angiogenesis, improves blood flow to the skin, accelerating its natural healing and recovery.

SALMON DNA INHIBITION OF MELANIN SYNTHESIS

PDRN has been shown to inhibit tyrosinase, an enzyme responsible for melanin production. By reducing melanin synthesis, PDRN helps minimize the formation of dark spots and hyperpigmentation, which are common signs of skin aging. This makes PDRN an effective treatment for achieving a more even skin tone and reducing age-related discoloration.

This microneedling process is an additional collagen stimulation aspect of our treatment. It further enhances the effect of PDRN to promote skin regeneration and repair. Upon completion of the procedure, our technician will implement a soothing post-care regimen to calm and hydrate the skin. This helps ensure a smooth recovery process. We will also provide you with a personalized post-care regimen, which typically includes our medical grade post care nectar to further support your skin healing.

IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU?

In summary, PDRN therapy, derived from salmon DNA, offers advanced skin rejuvenation. This treatment enhances skin health by reducing inflammation, stimulating collagen production, promoting tissue repair, and reducing hyperpigmentation. PDRN helps regenerate skin, improve texture, and restore a more youthful appearance.

Nonetheless, it is important to remember that your skin care needs are unique. It is always best to book a consultation with a medical professional to see if it is the right treatment for you.
