Polynucleotides (PDRN) vs Hyaluronic Acid: Which Skin Booster Suits You?

Understanding Next-Generation Bio-Revitalization

While traditional dermal fillers and hyaluronic acid boosters excel at binding moisture in the extracellular matrix, Polynucleotides (PDRN) work upstream at the cellular level to stimulate fibroblast proliferation and repair damaged collagen fibers.

1. Mechanism of Action

PDRN chains derived from purified salmon DNA facilitate DNA nucleotide salvage pathways, effectively downregulating pro-inflammatory cytokines and accelerating angiogenesis in sun-damaged skin.

2. Who Benefits Most?

  • Patients with thin, crepey under-eye skin (tear troughs).
  • Individuals experiencing photo-aging and loss of dermal elasticity.
  • Those seeking progressive tissue regeneration with zero artificial volume distortion.
