Microneedling with Salmon PDRN

Polydeoxyribonucleotide derived from salmon DNA is widely used in aesthetic treatments and is generally well tolerated. Here it is applied as a topical serum after the microneedling pass rather than injected. Tell your provider about any fish or seafood allergy at the consultation, and about any active skin condition in the area.

A typical microneedling plan is three to four sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, though individual needs differ. The spacing matters as much as the number, because it gives the skin time to complete the repair the previous session started. You may notice improvement within one to two weeks of the first.

Microneedling downtime is minimal for most people. Expect redness similar to a light sunburn, along with a mild prickling or tingling, and both usually resolve within a day or two. Most people return to daily activities within twenty-four to forty-eight hours. Sun protection matters more than usual while the skin settles.

Some clients seek microneedling to help reduce the appearance of skin irregularities such as acne scars and uneven texture. How much difference it makes depends on the type and depth of the scarring, which is why an assessment comes first. Textured scarring generally responds better than pigment left behind by old breakouts.

Anyone with an active skin infection or open wound in the area, certain skin conditions, a tendency to keloid scarring, or underlying health concerns should speak with a qualified provider before microneedling goes ahead. Recent isotretinoin use and pregnancy should also be disclosed. The consultation exists to settle this before anything is booked.

Microneedling with salmon PDRN is priced per session with the PDRN serum included, and most plans are a series of three or four — so the course, not the single visit, is the real figure. You will be given an exact figure at your consultation, before anything is booked or committed to. For a range in advance, call the practice and ask.
