🧬 How Does PDRN Work on the Skin? | A Deep Dive into the Mechanism

Polydeoxyribonucleotide, better known as PDRN, has emerged as one of the most effective regenerative ingredients in modern aesthetic medicine. But how exactly does it work once it enters your skin? Let’s break down its mechanism and explore why PDRN is becoming a game-changer in skin rejuvenation.


1ļøāƒ£ Delivery into the Dermis: The First Step to Repair

PDRN is typically introduced into the skin through microneedling, mesotherapy, or skin boosters (e.g., water-light injections). Rather than sitting on the surface, it penetrates deep into the dermis layer—where true regeneration happens.





2ļøāƒ£ Cellular Activation: Triggering Skin’s Self-Healing

Once in the dermis, PDRN is recognized by the skin as a ā€œrepair signal.ā€Ā It activates fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing:

  • Collagen – for firmness and structure

  • Elastin – for flexibility and bounce

  • Hyaluronic Acid – for hydration and plumpness

This process restores the skin’s natural scaffolding, reducing fine lines and improving texture.




3ļøāƒ£ Enhanced Microcirculation & Nutrient Delivery

PDRN promotes the expression of VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor), which encourages the formation of new capillaries. This process, known as angiogenesis, boosts the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the skin—accelerating repair and reviving dull, tired skin.



4ļøāƒ£ Anti-Inflammatory Power & Barrier Strengthening

Inflammation is often the root of many skin concerns—from sensitivity to acne. PDRN helps reduce inflammatory markers, calming the skin and enhancing its natural protective barrier. This makes it ideal for sensitive, irritated, or post-procedure skin.





🧬 Mechanism of Action: How PDRN Works


PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide) promotes tissue regeneration and wound healing through two distinct but complementary biological pathways:


Mechanism of Action: How PDRN Works
Mechanism of Action: How PDRN Works

ā—€ļø Left: A2 Receptor Stimulation Pathway


  1. AdenosineĀ binds to the A2A receptor, activating Gs protein → increases cAMP → activates PKA.

  2. PKA triggers intracellular signaling, influencing transcription factors like NF-ĪŗB, CREB, and HIF-1.

  3. Modulates cytokine expression:

    • Increased: IL-10, IL-6 (anti-inflammatory)

    • Decreased: TNF-α, HMGB1 (pro-inflammatory)

  4. Angiogenesis:

    • Stimulates VEGFĀ and AngiopoietinĀ to promote new blood vessel formation and improve microcirculation.

  5. Cellular activation:

    • Boosts regeneration of Fibroblasts, Chondrocytes, and Osteoblasts.


šŸ”½ Outcome: More complete, multi-dimensional tissue regeneration and improved healing.


ā–¶ļø Right: Salvage Pathway (DNA Synthesis)

  1. PDRN is degraded by DNaseĀ into nucleotidesĀ (e.g., purineĀ and pyrimidineĀ bases).

  2. These are reused by cells via the Salvage PathwayĀ to synthesize new DNA.

  3. This process is energy-savingĀ and speeds up cell division and tissue repair.


šŸ”½ Outcome: Faster regeneration and wound healing by supplying essential DNA building blocks.
