Polynucleotide (PDRN) Therapy
DNA-repair molecules that rebuild skin from within
Polynucleotide (PN) or PDRN therapy uses long-chain DNA fragments — extracted from salmon sperm cells and purified to pharmaceutical grade — to stimulate the body's own DNA repair mechanisms. These bio-compatible molecules activate PDRN receptors in skin cells, triggering fibroblast proliferation, collagen and elastin synthesis, and deep tissue hydration. The result is measurably younger-looking skin with improved elasticity, tone and radiance.
Unlike hyaluronic acid skin boosters that add volume externally, polynucleotides work intracellularly — instructing your own skin cells to produce new structural proteins. This makes them ideal for patients who want biological skin improvement rather than filling or volumising.
Key Benefits of Polynucleotide (PDRN) Therapy in Abu Dhabi
- Stimulates fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin
- Improves skin hydration at a deeper level than topical moisturisers
- Repairs UV-damaged, dehydrated and thinning skin
- Reduces dark under-eye circles caused by thin, transparent skin
- Excellent for delicate areas: under-eyes, neck, décolletage, inner arms
- Highly biocompatible — salmon DNA PDRN has a 97% genetic similarity to human DNA

Ideal Candidates
- Patients with sun-damaged, dehydrated or photoaged skin
- Those with thin, crepey skin under the eyes or on the neck

What to Expect During Your Polynucleotide (PDRN) Therapy at Enfield Royal
Skin Assessment
VISIA analysis or clinical assessment to identify areas of dehydration, damage and collagen loss.
Numbing
Topical anaesthetic cream applied 30 minutes before treatment.
Injection
PDRN injected via serial papule technique or microbolus method into the dermis across the target zone.
Recovery
Tiny injection points visible for 24–48 hours. Skin appears refreshed and more hydrated within 1–2 weeks.
Recovery & Aftercare

Frequently Asked Questions About Polynucleotide (PDRN) Therapy
What is the difference between PDRN and PN therapy?
PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) refers to shorter DNA fragments with a molecular weight below 1,000 kDa. PN (polynucleotide) covers a broader range. Both work through the same PDRN receptor pathway. Products like Rejuran use PN; both are clinically effective and biocompatible.
Is PDRN therapy the same as a skin booster?
No. Skin boosters like Juvederm Volite or Profhilo use hyaluronic acid to add hydration externally. PDRN works at the DNA repair level, stimulating your own cells to produce new collagen and elastin — the effect is biological regeneration, not external hydration alone.
How many sessions does PDRN therapy require?
A course of 3–4 sessions at 2–3 week intervals is standard. Maintenance sessions every 3–6 months are recommended to sustain results.
