PDRN Skinboosters
Skin rejuvenating and anti-aging
Also known as ‘Baby Skin Injections’ or ‘婴儿针’ or ‘少女针’, PDRN Skinboosters are one of the most popular skin rejuvenating and anti-aging treatments in Singapore and Asia. PDRN Skinboosters are made up of many small DNA fragments called polynucleotides (PN). When injected into the skin, these polynucleotides heal and repair signs of aging in the skin and reduce inflammation in the skin. What results with PDRN Skinboosterss are improved younger and radiant looking skin; smoother and firmer skin; reversal of fine lines and wrinkles; and overall, enhanced skin texture, appearance and barrier function.

Healing your skin DNA with PDRN Skinboosters
The key concept behind PDRN Skinboosters focuses on restoration and protection. The active ingredient of PDRN Skinboosters, PN works by repairing and reversing damage and signs of aging in the skin; and reducing inflammatory damage to the skin. Safe, stable and compatible with human skin, PDRN Skinboosters also revitalises the skin by enhancing collagen synthesis through fibroblast activation, hence improving skin elasticity and texture while balancing your skin’s oil production for healthier skin function.
FAQs
What are PDRN Skinboosters?
PDRN Skinboosters are a non-invasive, anti-aging treatment that repairs the skin and reverses signs of aging. The active ingredient of PDRN Skinboosters are PN, which are fragments of DNA present in all living things.
What are the benefits of PDRN Skinboosters?
You can expect the following benefits after having PDRN Skinboosters performed:
- Smoother, firmer skin
- Better skin elasticity
- Reversal of signs of aging such as lines and wrinkles
- Shallower scars (e.g. acne scars)
- Shrink pores
- Faster and smoother recovery from skin injuries
How do PDRN Skinboosters work?
The polynucleotides in PDRN Skinboosters cause repair by the following mechanisms:
PN increase blood supply to the skin to delivery additional oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells for repair and rejuvenation
PDRN Skinboosters reduces inflammation in the skin. Inflammation occurs when there is some form of injury to the skin and even exposure to UV rays from the sun result in inflammation. The problem with inflammation is that it causes damage to the cell proteins, DNA, collagen and many other structures.
PDRN Skinboosters also revitalises skin by increasing new collagen formation in the skin (fibroblast).
How are PDRN Skinboosters done?
PDRN Skinboosters are injected into your skin using an injector gun or by manual injections using a very fine needle. After injections of PDRN Skinboosters, LED light therapy is administered to speed up your recovery.

Is salmon DNA used for PDRN Skinboosters treatment safe?
Salmon DNA is very similar to human DNA and is compatible for use in humans as PDRN Skinboosters. PN harvested from salmon cells used in PDRN Skinboosters are subjected rigorous purification and sterilisation processes to ensure the absence of proteins that may cause immune reactions humans.
Is PDRN Skinboosters effective for acne scars?
Yes, PDRN Skinboosters can be used to treat depressed acne scars. The reparative nature of PDRN Skinboosters and the collagen regenerating effect from PDRN Skinboosters help to reduce the depth of depressed acne scars.
PDRN Skinboosters can also be combined with other treatments for depressed acne scar such as fractional CO2 laser, subcision and Skinboosters for even better results than when performed alone.
Can I combine PDRN Skinboosters with Skinboosters?
Yes, PDRN Skinboosters and Skinboosters can be combined for even better skin hydration, radiance and reversal of signs of aging.
Can I combine PDRN Skinboosters with lasers?
Yes, PDRN Skinboosters can be combined with Q-switch and fractional CO2 laser to enhance the collagen stimulating effect and treatment of pores and acne scars by these lasers. Q-switch laser is also an excellent addition to PDRN Skinboosters to treat other signs of aging such as pigmentation and acne.
Can I combine PDRN Skinboosters with face threadlifts?
The combination of PDRN Skinboosters and face threadlifts is the ultimate anti-aging combination to combat aging in the skin and deeper tissues of the face and neck. Threadlifts lift the deeper tissues of the face to treat sagging, laugh lines, jowls and sharpen the facial definitions. At the same time, threadlifts also stimulate new collagen formation in the deeper tissues of the face and this complements the new collagen formation and anti-aging benefits of PDRN Skinboosters in the skin.
