Skin ageing is a natural process influenced by factors like sun exposure, reduced collagen production, and environmental stressors. For individuals seeking ways to improve skin quality without surgery, skin boosters may be considered as a minimally invasive treatment option to support hydration and texture.

What Is PDRN?

Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) is a DNA-derived compound studied for its regenerative properties. It is extracted from salmon DNA and has been explored in clinical settings for its potential to support skin recovery and repair.

In aesthetic medicine, PDRN is one of several compounds incorporated into injectable treatments commonly referred to as skin boosters. These are typically administered into the superficial layers of the skin to support:

• Skin hydration
• Recovery of skin texture
• Improvement of elasticity

PDRN is part of a broader category that includes polynucleotide (PN)-based and hyaluronic acid-based formulations. The most suitable option varies depending on individual skin concerns and doctor assessment.

Skin Booster Treatments at Cambridge Medical Group

At Cambridge Medical Group, skin boosters containing PDRN and other bioactive compounds may be offered as part of a treatment plan for patients with skin concerns such as:

• Dehydration or dullness
• Uneven skin tone and fine lines
• Loss of firmness or enlarged pores

The formulation used is based on a doctor’s recommendation and patient-specific goals.

How the Treatment Works

A skin booster session typically includes the following steps:

1. Consultation – Skin is evaluated to determine treatment suitability
2. Preparation – The skin is cleansed and a topical numbing agent may be applied
3. Microinjection – Small quantities of the selected skin booster are introduced into target areas
4. Post-Treatment Care – Mild redness or swelling may occur and usually resolves in a few days

Multiple sessions may be recommended to gradually support skin improvement and hydration.

What to Expect

Skin booster treatments are designed to support:

• Improved skin moisture retention

• A refreshed, radiant skin appearance with ongoing care

Results are progressive and vary between individuals. Your doctor will develop a treatment schedule based on your skin’s condition and needs.
