Many people are looking for natural ways to support healthier, more youthful-looking skin without turning to invasive procedures.

There is true science behind microneedling and how it may help stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and even support hair growth.

At 50, I am always looking for non-invasive solutions to boost collagen and elastin, reduce lines and wrinkles and achieve a healthy glow.

As soon as I heard about PDRN, as a booster (add-on) to microoneedling, I had to rschedule it. Of course, it was Kim K. who first introduced and popularized the treatment, and it got a lot of buzz considering it is “salmon sperm”!

First let’s chat microneedling…

If you’re looking for a simple, evidence-based approach to healthy aging, micronnedling is a great solution.

Dermatologists agree that microneedling is incredibly effective.

For the uninitiated, microneedling treatments involve using tiny needles to superficially puncture the skin and create “micro-injuries,” which trigger the natural wound-healing response and dramatically boost collagen and elastin production.

Translation? It can give you smoother, plumper, and more youthful-looking skin. It can even drastically minimize the appearance of acne scars.

Here’s the thing, though. Not all microneedling treatments are the same. Dermatologists back professional microneedling treatments, undergone in an office setting under the guidance of an expert. They often caution against at-home microneedling treatments, aka derma-rollers, because they can do more harm than good. So stay away from DYI with this one.

I love microneedling with SkinPen, as it is a safe and proven device.

SkinSpirit offers Microneedling with PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide) as an advanced regenerative skin treatment across its premier medical spa locations. The treatment pairs standard clinical microneedling—which uses an FDA-cleared micro-penning device (SkinPen) to create controlled microchannels—with a highly concentrated Toskani Med Lumicen PDRN ampoule as a topical booster. 

How the Treatment Works

• The PDRN Component: PDRN is a premium bioactive compound derived from purified salmon DNA. It closely mimics human DNA, which allows it to communicate at a cellular level to enhance tissue repair and microcirculation. 
• The Synergy: Classic microneedling stimulates your body’s natural collagen production. Applying the Lumicen PDRN booster immediately afterward allows the serum to absorb deeply into the open microchannels, accelerating cellular turnover and drastically reducing post-procedure downtime.

Core Benefits

• Accelerated Healing: Patients experience notably less redness, irritation, and prolonged inflammation compared to microneedling alone.
• Texture & Scar Repair: The treatment is highly effective at breaking down acne scar tissue and smoothing uneven skin tone.
• Deep Hydration & Firmness: PDRN strengthens the skin barrier and boosts elasticity for a firm, “glass skin” radiance. 

What to Expect & Protocol

• The Process: Treatments include professional numbing cream to ensure maximum comfort. I have actualy doen this procedure without numbing as well and I find it quite tolerable.
• Downtime: Expect mild to moderate redness or a mild sunburn sensation for 3 to 5 days. Skin can feel “sandpapery” as dead cells naturally slough off.
• Recommended Series: For optimal, long-lasting structural changes, SkinSpirit and providers recommend an initial series of 3 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. 

This is a great treatment for specific skin concerns like acne scarring or anti-aging.

My skin felt clearer and more radiant a week later. I am looking forward to seeing the long-term results.

Your nearest SkinSpirit location can accommodate this cutting-edge treatment.
