- A popular choice for skin ageing and scars, and for anyone from 35 looking for an extra boost for their skin.
- The treatment costs €99.00. With LED therapy added, the combination chosen most often, it's €119.00 and takes 75 minutes.

Three active ingredients that set repair in motion.
PDRN stands for polydeoxyribonucleotide, and it is extracted from salmon DNA. In the skin it acts as a signal for repair: it stimulates the production of collagen and elasticity, and it helps damaged tissue renew itself. That's why it's often chosen for scars and for skin that is losing its resilience.
Exosomes are tiny vesicles that cells use to send each other signals. In this cocktail they help your skin renew itself. Hyaluronic acid, the third active ingredient, hydrates deeply and makes sure your skin feels full and soft in the days after the treatment.
With microneedling we bring this cocktail through fine channels right where repair is needed. Your complexion becomes more even, fine lines soften and your skin feels firmer and fuller. In the weeks after, the collagen keeps building, and with a course you lock that in.
With or without LED therapy afterwards.
After microneedling your skin is red and warm. LED therapy dampens that redness, so your skin settles faster in the days after. After PDRN we particularly recommend it.
| Topic | What you get | Duration | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| PDRN + HA + Exo | Microneedling with salmon DNA, exosomes and hyaluronic acid | 50 minutes | €99.00 |
| PDRN with LED therapy | The same treatment, finished with twenty minutes of calming light. In our salon the combination chosen most often if you want to do as much as possible in one appointment. | 75 minutes | €119.00 |
What the light does exactly is on the LED therapy page.
Why clients choose this variant.
Scars
Pits and dents left behind after spots. PDRN is aimed at repairing damaged tissue, and that's exactly what a scar needs. Also read about acne scars.
Skin ageing
Fine lines, skin that bounces back less and a complexion that is turning dull. See fine lines and loss of firmness.
An extra boost from 35
Many clients choose PDRN when their skin noticeably recovers more slowly than it used to, and they want to do as much as possible in one treatment.
Skin that can go a step further
If you've already done a course with hyaluronic acid or collagen, PDRN is often the next step.
Fifty minutes or 75 with LED.
Cleansing and numbing
We cleanse your skin thoroughly and apply a numbing cream, which soaks in for twenty minutes. During the treatment you therefore mainly feel vibration and a slightly scratchy sensation.
Microneedling with the cocktail
Zone by zone we go over your face, always at the depth that suits that area, with extra attention to scars or lines. Meanwhile we apply the PDRN cocktail. Your skin turns pink to red, and that's part of it.
LED therapy
If you've booked the combination, we now let twenty minutes of calming light work on your skin. That dampens the redness, so your skin settles faster in the days after.
Protecting and the recovery
Finally we apply something calming and a protective layer. Your skin is red for one to two days, roughly like after a sunny day. Make-up is allowed from the third day, but preferably you leave it off for two weeks. Everything about the days after is under microneedling.
What a course costs you in the end.
You do a course of four to six sessions, three to four weeks apart. You pay per session and decide each time yourself whether to continue.
| Treatment | Per session | Usual course | Full course (estimate) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Microneedling with PDRN | €99.00 | 4 to 6 sessions | €396.00 to €594.00 |
| PDRN with LED therapy | €119.00 | 4 to 6 sessions | €476.00 to €714.00 |
You pay afterwards in the salon, by card or in cash.

A good idea if
- You have scars from spots and want the skin underneath to repair.
- You see the first or further signs of ageing and want to do as much as possible in one treatment.
- You're willing to commit to a course and a home routine.
Check with us first
- Dry skin as your main concern. Then hyaluronic acid is often a better first step.
- Active acne with painful or inflamed areas. That's for your GP first; we only treat scars once the inflammation has settled.
- Just been in the sun or on the sunbed. Then we wait about two weeks.
- Acids or retinol at home. Stop using them a few days beforehand.
- Pregnancy, breastfeeding, a fish allergy or medication for your skin. Let us know beforehand, then we discuss what's possible.

What exactly is PDRN?
PDRN is a substance extracted from salmon DNA. In the skin it acts as a signal for repair: it stimulates collagen and elasticity and helps damaged tissue renew itself. That's why it's often chosen for scars and skin ageing.
Do I need to add the LED therapy?
You don't have to, but after PDRN we recommend it. The light dampens the redness, so your skin settles faster in the days after. In our salon this is the combination chosen most often if you want to do as much as possible in one appointment.
Does PDRN help with acne scars?
For scars, microneedling is the treatment booked most often, and PDRN is the cocktail aimed at repair. It does take patience: you do a course and then maintenance. Read more under acne scars.
How long will I be red?
Usually one to two days, roughly like after a day in the sun. With LED therapy afterwards it often settles faster. Don't plan your appointment just before an important occasion.
