PN / PDRN Skin Booster for Acne Scars

What is PN / PDRN Skin Booster for Acne Scars?

PN / PDRN Skin Booster for Acne Scars contains a higher concentration of polynucleotides (PN) and has a higher viscosity than PN / PDRN Skin Healer. This makes it suitable for the treatment of depressed and atrophic acne scars.

Its thicker consistency allows it to be placed locally within depressed scar areas, where the PN supports collagen production and skin regeneration to help improve the appearance of depressed scars and surface irregularities. The treatment approach varies according to the type, depth, and extent of acne scarring and is determined during a medical consultation.

How do acne scars form?

Acne develops when pores become clogged with excess oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. This can lead to inflammation and, in some cases, damage to the surrounding tissue. As the skin heals, the process may not be uniform.

  • When the skin produces too little collagen during healing, it can lead to atrophic scars, such as ice pick, boxcar, or rolling scars.
  • When the skin produces too much collagen, it may result in hypertrophic scars, which appear raised on the surface.

These variations explain why acne scars differ in depth, texture, and appearance.

How PN / PDRN skin booster may support acne scar reduction

As PN / PDRN Skin Booster for Acne Scars is formulated with a higher concentration of polynucleotide (PN) and a higher viscosity than standard PN / PDRN Skin Healer formulations, it is typically placed in targeted areas of depressed or atrophic acne scarring. This is to support collagen production and tissue remodelling which help improve the appearance of scars and uneven skin texture.

Injection process:

  • Microinjections to deliver PN into targeted areas of acne scarring.

Key actions:

  • Supports fibroblast activity and collagen production, which contribute to skin structure and elasticity.
  • Helps support skin regeneration and tissue remodelling within scarred areas.
  • Improve skin texture and the appearance of depressed scars over time.

As with any aesthetic procedure, treatment outcomes vary between individuals and depend on factors such as the type, depth, and extent of acne scarring. We recommend you consult a doctor who will determine if PN / PDRN Skin Booster for Acne Scars is suitable for your acne scars.

How does PN / PDRN Skin Booster for Acne Scars work?

PN / PDRN Skin Booster for Acne Scars treatment has a higher viscosity as compared to the regular PN / PDRN Skin Healer skin booster  as it is designed for treating depressed acne scars. A higher viscosity gives PN / PDRN Skin Booster for Acne Scars a thicker consistency that allows it to be placed locally within depressed or atrophic acne scars. The skin renewal and repair ability of the treatment, coupled with the higher viscosity, stimulates the fibroblasts in our skin to produce collagen. This in turn helps to smoothen out acne scar depressions, giving us better skin texture.

After cleansing your skin, numbing cream will be applied and left on for about 20 minutes. The doctor then proceeds to inject tiny doses of PN / PDRN Skin Booster for Acne Scars injection into the area to be treated.
