Treatment room for PDRN skin injections at Umi Clinic, Myeongdong — **3–4 sessions** Skin strengthens over 4–8 weeks

Quick answer

What are PDRN injections?

PDRN ( polydeoxyribonucleotide) is a purified mixture of DNA fragments, usually derived from salmon or trout, that supports tissue repair. Injected into the dermis, it is thought to activate receptors that encourage cell regeneration, reduce inflammation and improve blood flow, helping the skin recover and strengthen.

In Seoul PDRN is widely used for sensitive or damaged skin, post-laser recovery, fine lines and acne marks. It is closely related to polynucleotide (PN) boosters such as Rejuran Healer, which use longer DNA chains.

FAQ

PDRN Injections questions

PDRN or Rejuran — what is the difference?

Both come from salmon DNA. PDRN uses shorter fragments and is lighter; Rejuran uses longer polynucleotide chains that give more structural support. The doctor can advise which fits your skin.

Is PDRN good for sensitive skin?

Yes, it is often chosen for sensitive or reactive skin because it supports repair and calms inflammation.

Can I combine it with lasers?

Yes. It is commonly given after lasers to support healing.

Is it suitable if I have a fish allergy?

Usually not. Tell the doctor about any fish allergy so an alternative can be chosen.

Do foreigners pay more?

No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
