PDRN Details
Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) is DNA extracted for salmon. More specifically, it is often extracted from the cells in salmon sperm. Salmon DNA is said to be close to human DNA, lending PDRN to have therapeutic effects for human skin. Those on the cusp of industry trends have undoubtedly heard of salmon facials or salmon sperm for skin care, but this ingredient was previosly known for its benefits in health care.
PDRN activates the adenosine A2A receptor, which can help the body manage the inflammatory response and apoptotic process. Activating this receptor can also help repair and heal tissue.
In clinical practice, PDRN has shown anti-inflammatory, anti-ulcerative, scar preventative, bone regenerative, anti-osteoporotic, anti-allodynic and wound healing benefits. In recent years, however, it has been researched in recent years for its skin care benefit. This is due to K-beauty innovators recognizing its potential for skin care.
PDRN In Skin Treatment
PDRN can be injected or applied topically. When it is injected, it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin to plump and repair the skin. The result is skin regeneration.
However, it has also recently been formulated into topical skin care products. Though the PDRN injected in skin care clinics and used in some skin care is derived from salmon, there is PDRN from plant sources available on the market.. When applied topically, PDRN has been shown to reduce pigmentation, increase collagen and elastin and reduce inflammation. The result is firmer and younger-looking skin.
