What is Polynucleotide Injection (PN)?
Polynucleotide, commonly referred to as Rejuran, is a safe injectable treatment designed for skin rejuvenation. Developed and produced in South Korea, its main ingredient is Polynucleotide (PN), derived from salmon sperm DNA, which enhances the overall health of the skin. PN aids in the exfoliation of old, keratinized skin cells, allowing for the emergence of fresher, youthful skin cells. This regenerative property helps diminish hyperpigmentation and scars. Ultimately, PN promotes naturally supple, radiant, and brighter skin. The procedure is usually performed by a doctor on the face, neck, and the backs of the hands.
