PDRN Scar

What is a PDRN scar treatment? 

PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide) scar treatment is an advanced skin therapy that uses biological molecules to promote the regeneration and healing of damaged skin, specifically targeting scars. 

Derived from salmon DNA, PDRN is known for its ability to accelerate tissue repair, stimulate cell regeneration, and enhance collagen production, which makes it an effective solution for reducing the appearance of various types of scars, including acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks​. 

A PDRN scar treatment typically involves the injection of a specialised PDRN solution directly into the scar tissue using a fine needle. The procedure is minimally invasive and requires little to no downtime. Most patients begin to see noticeable improvements in the appearance of their scars within a few days, although optimal results are usually achieved after a few days as the skin continues to heal and regenerate.

How does a PDRN scar work? 

A PDRN scar treatment works by harnessing the regenerative power of Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN), a biocompatible molecule derived from salmon DNA, to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. 

When injected into the scar tissue, PDRN activates the A2 purinergic receptors, which are responsible for cellular repair and regeneration. This action boosts the activity of fibroblasts, the cells that produce collagen, a critical component in skin healing. By encouraging collagen synthesis, PDRN helps to remodel and smooth out scar tissue, replacing damaged skin with healthy, regenerated skin​. 

Furthermore, PDRN possesses anti-inflammatory properties, which not only promote faster healing but also reduce redness and irritation commonly associated with scars. The treatment’s ability to increase blood flow to the treated area accelerates the recovery of damaged tissue, which makes it effective for both newer scars and older, more stubborn ones. The overall result is a significant improvement in the texture and appearance of the skin, with a reduction in scar visibility over time​. 

What are the benefits of PDRN scar? 

PDRN scar treatment offers a range of benefits that go beyond simple scar reduction, helping to rejuvenate and restore skin health. Here are some of the key benefits:

• Accelerates wound healing — PDRN scar stimulates fibroblast activity and collagen production, leading to faster tissue repair and scar remodelling​. 

• Reduces scar visibility — helps smooth and soften scar tissue, making scars less noticeable over time​. 

• Anti-inflammatory properties — reduces redness, swelling, and irritation commonly associated with scars, promoting a more even skin tone​. 

• Improves skin texture — enhances skin elasticity and hydration, resulting in smoother and more supple skin around the scar area​. 

• Minimally invasive with little downtime — the treatment is quick and causes minimal discomfort, with patients experiencing only mild redness that subsides quickly​. 

These benefits make PDRN scar treatment an effective and convenient option for those seeking to improve the appearance of scars and enhance overall skin health.

What conditions can PDRN scar treatment be used for?

PDRN scar treatment is highly versatile and can be used to treat a variety of skin conditions that require enhanced healing and tissue regeneration. Here are some of the common conditions:

• Acne scars — helps smooth out depressed or pitted scars left by acne, promoting skin regeneration​. 

• Surgical scars — reduces the visibility of scars resulting from surgical incisions, improving skin texture and appearance​. 

• Stretch marks — assists in reducing the appearance of stretch marks by stimulating collagen production and tissue repair​. 

• Burn scars — accelerates healing in areas affected by burns, promoting healthy skin regrowth​. 

• Wound scars — enhances the healing process of various other scars, such as those resulting from injuries or cuts​. 

These conditions benefit from PDRN’s unique ability to encourage cellular repair, collagen synthesis, and overall skin rejuvenation.

What results can I expect? 

When getting a PDRN scar treatment at Astique The Aesthetic Clinic, you can expect a highly personalised experience starting from the initial consultation. During your consultation, our skilled professionals will assess the condition of your skin and scars and determine the most suitable treatment plan according to your needs. On the day of your treatment, our professional will carefully inject the PDRN solution into the targeted areas using fine needles, ensuring precise application to promote optimal skin healing and rejuvenation. This minimally invasive treatment typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size and severity of the scars​. 

You might experience mild redness and tiny bumps immediately after the procedure, but these side effects generally subside within a few hours. Most patients notice initial improvements in their skin’s texture and scar visibility after just a few days, though optimal results are usually seen after a series of 3 to 4 sessions, spaced a few weeks apart. 

Aftercare is straightforward, with minimal downtime. We recommend avoiding strenuous activities and direct sun exposure for a few days post-treatment. The gentle nature of PDRN treatments allows for a quick return to your normal routine, while continued improvements in skin smoothness and scar reduction can be expected as collagen production continues to work beneath the surface​. 

How many sessions are needed for the PDRN scar procedure? 

The number of sessions needed for PDRN scar treatment varies depending on the severity of the scars and individual skin response. Generally, most patients require 3 to 4 sessions, spaced about 3 to 4 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. Each session builds on the previous one, enhancing collagen production and promoting further skin regeneration​. 

While some patients may notice improvements after the first session, the cumulative effect of multiple treatments ensures more pronounced and long-lasting results​. After your initial consultation at Astique The Aesthetic Clinic, our doctors will recommend the ideal number of sessions based on your specific skin needs.

What is the downtime after a PDRN scar treatment?

PDRN scar treatments usually involve minimal downtime. You might experience mild redness, small bumps, or slight swelling immediately after the procedure, but these typically subside within a few hours to a day. Most patients can return to their normal routine shortly after treatment.

How long do the results from a PDRN scar treatment last?

The effects of PDRN scar treatment can last several months, but the longevity of results depends on individual skin conditions. Maintenance sessions may be recommended every 6 to 12 months to sustain the benefits of skin regeneration and collagen production.

Are there any side effects from a PDRN scar treatment?

Side effects are generally mild and temporary, including slight redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. These effects usually disappear within a few hours or days. Serious side effects are rare, and can be prevented with the right techniques, a trained doctor and a proper consultation to assess your suitability.

Can PDRN scar treatment be combined with other aesthetic treatments?
