What is PDRN Injection?
PDRN injection is a skin booster that, instead of adding volume from outside, signals the skin's own collagen-making cells to renew themselves. Rather than a one-and-done treatment, hydration and texture changes build up gradually over a series of sessions. Like switching the power back on in a factory that had gone quiet — it wakes up the skin's natural ability to repair itself.
Who it may be considered for
If you have the following skin concerns, PDRN Injection may be considered.
- The skin has become reactive, and redness or discomfort appears easily after irritation
- The skin barrier has weakened and overall skin condition feels diminished
- The aim is to improve both hydration and texture of dry, dull skin
- Fine lines, loss of firmness, or other early signs of skin ageing are a concern
- Rather than applying strong irritation to the skin, gradual improvement of skin condition is desired
The PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) in this injection is a DNA-fragment component derived from salmon, used to help regulate inflammatory responses in the skin and support the recovery and regeneration of damaged tissue.
The medical team judges suitability individually after assessing the skin's sensitivity, inflammation, dryness, texture, and firmness.
What happens at the visit
1) Consultation & assessment: a skin assessment checks hydration, texture, and firmness, and the doctor reviews key safety items — pregnancy status, current medications (especially anticoagulants), and any allergy or herpes history — to tailor the session count and dose.
2) Cleansing: makeup is fully removed and the area is disinfected.
3) Anesthesia: a topical numbing cream is applied for about 30 minutes if needed to minimize discomfort.
4) Injection: PDRN is delivered into the dermis through a series of fine micro-injections, under sterile conditions.
5) Aftercare guidance: brief soothing, then home-care instructions, including how to look after the skin between sessions.
If numbing cream is needed, the application time (about 30 minutes) is added, so the individual's total time at the clinic may be longer. As with any injection, minor redness, swelling, or injection marks may appear and typically settle quickly.
Safety and aftercare
PDRN Injection is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. As it uses PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) derived from salmon, please inform the medical team before treatment if you have a history of allergy or hypersensitivity to fish such as salmon. If there is active infection, inflammation, or an open wound in the treatment area, or if an autoimmune disease is active, or there is a bleeding disorder or a history of keloid or hypertrophic scarring, treatment may be restricted, so please inform the medical team in advance. Please also be sure to inform the medical team if you are taking anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents, or other medication that can affect bleeding.
Adequate moisturizing and sun protection are recommended after treatment. If pain, swelling, or warmth progressively worsens, or if pus, fever, or other signs suggesting infection or an abnormal reaction appear, medical assessment is required.

Frequently asked questions
When Will PDRN Injection Results Appear — and How Long Do They Last?
Because PDRN is understood to work by stimulating fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin — a regenerative process rather than an instant fill — its results build cumulatively. Patients may notice a hydrated feel soon after treatment, with skin texture refining gradually over a series. People commonly describe better-hydrated, more supple-feeling skin over a course of sessions; PDRN does not add volume or fill deep lines the way a filler does. PDRN-type skin boosters are generally recommended as a series of three or more sessions at 2-3 week intervals, and the number of sessions needed is decided during consultation based on the skin. Regenerative treatments tend to build up better when consistent hydration and barrier care are kept up at home between sessions. How long results last varies by individual skin condition and lifestyle, and many people return for periodic maintenance sessions after completing a series; the doctor will advise based on the skin. Onset and individual results vary.
How is PDRN injection different from filler?
Filler physically adds volume. PDRN injection focuses on regeneration — stimulating the skin's fibroblasts so the skin builds its own collagen. The purpose and mechanism are different, and PDRN does not fill volume or deep lines.
Will one session be enough?
Patients may feel a hydrating effect soon after, but as a regenerative treatment its benefits accumulate. A series at 2-3 week intervals is generally recommended, and the number of sessions is decided during consultation based on the skin.
Is PDRN Injection painful, and is there downtime?
A topical numbing cream can be used to reduce discomfort. Minor redness, swelling, or injection marks are possible but usually settle quickly, and return to daily life is generally prompt. Experiences vary.
I'm visiting from abroad — can PDRN Injection be done in one visit?
Yes — a single session is a short visit and is fine to do on a trip, and patients may notice an immediate hydrated feel. Because the regenerative benefit builds over a recommended series spaced 2-3 weeks apart, if you are only in Korea briefly, inform the doctor of the travel dates and the team will talk through what a one-time visit can realistically achieve and any recommended follow-up.
