Polynucleotide Treatments for Skin Regeneration
Polynucleotide Treatments for Skin Regeneration
Polynucleotide (PN) treatments are advanced injectable therapies used in Korea to
repair, regenerate, and strengthen the skin at a cellular level.
They are best known through treatments like
Rejuran Healer, delivering
long-term skin improvement, better elasticity, and healthier skin structure—not just temporary glow.
What Are Polynucleotide (PN) Treatments?
Polynucleotide treatments use DNA fragments (typically derived from salmon) that are highly compatible with human skin.
π These molecules are injected into the dermis to:
- Repair damaged skin
- Stimulate collagen production
- Improve skin thickness and elasticity
π Unlike fillers or basic skin boosters, PN treatments focus on true skin regeneration.
How Polynucleotides Work
Once injected into the skin, PN:
- Activates fibroblasts (collagen-producing cells)
- Promotes tissue repair
- Improves microcirculation
- Strengthens the skin barrier
π This leads to:
- Thicker, stronger skin
- Smoother texture
- Reduced inflammation
- Improved elasticity
What Skin Concerns Do PN Treatments Treat?
Best for:
- Acne scars
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Enlarged pores
- Thin or fragile skin
- Sensitive or damaged skin
- Dull complexion
π Especially effective for skin that needs repair—not just hydration.
