PDRN Therapy
PDRN therapy uses polydeoxyribonucleotide—a mixture of DNA fragments most often purified from salmon or trout milt—delivered into the skin to support repair and to calm reactive, sensitized skin. In Korean skin-care marketing it is sometimes called a "baby skin" or "salmon DNA" injection.

Overview
PDRN therapy is usually discussed as a repair and skin-quality treatment rather than a way to add volume or fill lines. People often consider it for skin that feels reactive, red, dry, or irritated—for example after aggressive lasers, peels, or acne—and for an overall smoother, more even look. It is delivered to the face, neck, and sometimes the under-eye area or scalp, though the exact product, dose, and route differ from clinic to clinic.
What it is asked to do is support the skin's own recovery and hydration, so it is better thought of as conditioning than as a structural change. It does not lift sagging tissue, replace a filler or toxin, erase established scars, or work as a "whitening" injection. Regulatory status matters here: PDRN appears under several product names, and its approved use—as an injectable, a mesotherapy solution, or a topical—differs by country, so rely on the registration details the clinic can show you rather than on marketing labels.
