PDRN (polynucleotides): skin regeneration with natural results
The search for effective facial rejuvenation treatments is constantly evolving in Portugal and around the world. In recent years, PDRN (polynucleotides) have emerged as an advanced solution with proven results in skin regeneration and quality improvement.
But What Are Polynucleotides?
PDRN (polynucleotides) are DNA fragments obtained from natural sources, such as fish DNA (usually from trout or salmon), processed for medical and aesthetic use. These compounds are known for their ability to stimulate cellular regeneration and improve skin health.
They work directly on repairing the DNA of our skin cells, promoting deep regeneration and helping to combat the signs of aging.
📍 At Atelier do Sorriso in Almancil, in the heart of the Algarve, we recognize the importance of offering innovative and safe treatments that align with our patients’ expectations.
This article explains in detail what polynucleotides are, how they work, and why they are transforming aesthetic medicine in Portugal.
Benefits of PDRN in Facial Rejuvenation
PDRN (polynucleotides) play a key role in skin regeneration, being recognized as an effective and safe solution for facial rejuvenation.
This treatment combines cellular repair properties with biological stimuli that revitalize and strengthen the skin’s structures, providing natural and long-lasting results. Here are some of the main benefits and mechanisms of action:
DNA Repair and Cellular Regeneration
Polynucleotides act directly on the DNA of skin cells, repairing damage and accelerating cell renewal. This process replaces aged or damaged cells with healthier ones, promoting refreshed and more vibrant-looking skin.
Stimulation of Collagen and Elastin Production
This treatment activates fibroblasts, the cells responsible for collagen and elastin synthesis. As a result, the skin regains its firmness and elasticity, reducing wrinkles and fine lines.
Deep and Long-Lasting Hydration
PDRN helps retain moisture in the deep layers of the skin, improving long-term hydration. This effect gives the skin a smoother, more radiant, and revitalized appearance.
Anti-Inflammatory and Healing Properties
Thanks to their ability to reduce inflammation and promote healing, polynucleotides are suitable for sensitive skin or conditions like rosacea, irritations, or acne scars. This soothing effect also accelerates skin recovery after other aesthetic procedures.
Smoother Texture and Even Skin Tone
Regular use of PDRN visibly improves skin texture, making it smoother and more even. Additionally, it reduces spots and other signs of damage caused by the sun or aging.
Natural and Progressive Results
Unlike treatments that may alter facial expressions, PDRN offers subtle and continuous improvement, respecting the patient’s natural appearance. With regular sessions, the results become more noticeable and long-lasting.
Quick Recovery and Safety
Since it is minimally invasive, polynucleotide treatment requires little recovery time, allowing patients to resume their usual activities on the same day.
This set of benefits makes PDRN an excellent choice for those looking to address signs of aging, improve skin texture, and restore vitality. At Atelier do Sorriso, we ensure that each treatment is tailored to the individual needs of our patients, providing optimized results and a safe experience.

Who Is PDRN Treatment For?
PDRN (polynucleotides) are recommended for individuals looking to improve the appearance and health of their skin naturally and safely. This treatment is versatile and suitable for different ages, skin conditions, and aesthetic goals. Key indications include:
Signs of Aging
Ideal for those who want to reduce fine wrinkles, expression lines, and skin laxity. Polynucleotides help restore skin elasticity, giving it a more youthful appearance.
Dehydrated or Dull Skin
Patients with dry, lackluster skin or signs of fatigue find PDRN a solution for deep hydration and revitalization.
Scars and Skin Marks
This treatment is effective in addressing acne scars or marks caused by injuries or previous procedures.
Post-Aesthetic Procedure Recovery
After treatments like chemical peels, laser, or microneedling, polynucleotides accelerate recovery and minimize inflammation.
Sensitive or Reactive Skin
Thanks to their anti-inflammatory properties, PDRN are suitable for patients with rosacea or skin prone to external aggressions.
Men and Women
Suitable for anyone looking to improve skin quality without resorting to invasive methods.
How Is PDRN Treatment Performed?
PDRN (polynucleotides) treatment is a minimally invasive procedure performed in a clinical setting under the supervision of qualified professionals. It is designed to ensure safety, comfort, and effective results.
Steps of the PDRN Procedure:
Initial Consultation and Personalized Planning
Before starting the treatment, the doctor assesses the patient’s skin condition and defines an individualized plan. At this stage, priority areas are identified, and all questions about the procedure are clarified.
Skin Preparation
The skin is cleansed, and a topical anesthetic is usually applied to reduce any discomfort during the application. This step ensures a more comfortable experience.
Application of Polynucleotides
PDRN are injected directly into the dermis through microinjections. These are evenly distributed across the treatment areas, allowing polynucleotides to act effectively on the entire surface.
Immediate Post-Treatment Care
After the procedure, a soothing cream may be applied to minimize redness or irritation. Although patients can resume daily activities on the same day, it is recommended to avoid intense sun exposure and makeup for the first 24 hours.
Duration of the Consultation and Number of PDRN Sessions:
Each session lasts about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. For long-lasting results, 3 to 4 sessions are recommended, spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart. The maintenance plan is adjusted according to the patient’s individual response.
Safety and Tolerance:
The procedure is safe, with few risks and quick recovery. However, it is essential to undergo treatment at specialized clinics, such as Atelier do Sorriso, to ensure the highest quality standards.
