PDRN vs PN – What’s the Difference?
1. Origin & Structure PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide): A subset of PN, consisting of DNA fragments with a specific molecular weight (100–300 kDa). Extracted mainly from salmon sperm DNA. More focused on healing and regeneration. PN (Polynucleotide): Broader category: long DNA fragments, larger molecules than PDRN. Provide stronger skin scaffolding and anti-aging support. Work slower than PDRN but with longer-lasting tissue remodeling. 2. Mechanism of Action PDRN: Activates A2A adenosine receptors → boosts blood circulation & tissue healing. Strong wound-healing effect → used for scars, burns, post-procedure recovery. Stimulates fibroblasts → collagen... Read more...
