What Is PDRN (Salmon Sperm)? The Skin-Rejuvenating Power of Nature
The ‘Salmon Sperm Facial,’ AKA polynucleotides.
At ARTisan Skin & Laser Center, we are dedicated to offering cutting-edge treatments that blend science, innovation, and nature to help you achieve radiant, healthy skin. One of the most exciting breakthroughs in regenerative skincare is PDRN, also known as polydeoxyribonucleotide—a naturally derived compound from salmon sperm DNA. While it might sound unusual at first, this powerful ingredient is transforming the world of skin rejuvenation. No, it doesn’t literally use salmon sperm. It’s a treatment that consists of a biocompatible protein derived from fish DNA, which is then injected under the skin.
What Is PDRN?
PDRN stands for polydeoxyribonucleotide, a DNA-based compound known for its regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties. It is most commonly extracted from the sperm cells of salmon, specifically chosen because of their high biocompatibility with human cells.
Salmon DNA is rich in nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA, and these molecules play a key role in cell repair and regeneration. When applied to the skin or injected through specialized treatments, PDRN can stimulate the skin’s natural healing process, making it a sought-after solution in aesthetic and medical skincare.
How Does PDRN Work?
PDRN acts at a cellular level, enhancing tissue repair, promoting new cell growth, and improving blood circulation. Here’s what makes it so effective:
Stimulates fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin
Reduces inflammation and supports skin barrier recovery
Speeds up wound healing, making it ideal for post-laser or microneedling care
Boosts hydration and elasticity, resulting in firmer, smoother skin
What Skin Concerns Can PDRN Help Treat?
PDRN is incredibly versatile and can benefit a wide range of skin conditions, including:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Dull or uneven skin tone
Acne scars
Dry, sensitive, or irritated skin
Post-procedure recovery (e.g., after laser treatments or microneedling)
Why Salmon DNA?
You might be wondering—why salmon? Salmon DNA is structurally very similar to human DNA, which makes it safe and well-tolerated. It also contains high concentrations of nucleotides, making it an ideal source for therapeutic PDRN extraction. Plus, the use of salmon DNA in skincare has been extensively researched and backed by clinical studies.
