Did you know that one of the most promising molecules in aesthetic and regenerative medicine is extracted from salmon sperm? That’s right: PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide) has revolutionized the treatment of various skin conditions thanks to its high cellular repair capacity, tissue regeneration, and visible improvement in skin quality.

What is PDRN and why is it so special?

PDRN is an active DNA fragment, made up of low-molecular-weight polynucleotides that stimulate the skin’s natural repair processes. Its most common source is salmon sperm, a natural material highly compatible with the human body and rich in biological benefits.

Benefits of PDRN:

  • Repairs the extracellular matrix
  • Stimulates fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin
  • Improves skin microcirculation
  • Reduces pigmentation such as melasma and post-inflammatory marks
  • Anti-inflammatory and regenerative effect visible from the first applications

What is PDRN used for?

Dr. Silvia Perafan uses it to treat patients with conditions such as:

  • Active acne and scarring
  • Melasma
  • Rosacea and persistent redness
  • Psoriasis (inflamed lesions)
  • Scars (old or new)
  • Alopecia
  • Chronic ulcers or open wounds
  • Aging, dehydrated or dull skin

PDRN treatments can be applied with specialized devices like dermapen or microinjections, allowing the product to penetrate and act directly on the deeper layers of the skin.

Is PDRN safe?

Yes. It is extracted under pharmaceutical-grade standards and is highly biocompatible. It has a very low risk of adverse reactions and has been used in medicine for over a decade in countries like South Korea, Italy, and Japan.

When will I see results?

Many patients report visible improvement in texture, inflammation, and glow after the first or second session. A personalized plan is recommended for each case.

Is it only for the face?

No. It can also be used on the neck, décolleté, scalp, hands, and areas with scars or ulcers, delivering impressive results.

Who can perform the treatment?

This treatment must be performed by a qualified physician. At PIELSANA, Dr. Silvia Perafan applies it using personalized protocols, ensuring the product’s quality and the safety of the procedure.
