PDRN Injections in Seoul: Procedure, Benefits & Cost
Salmon-DNA-derived PDRN skin booster injections to support repair, elasticity and hydration — often known in Korea as Rejuran.
PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) injections use a salmon-DNA-derived ingredient injected into the dermis to support skin repair, collagen production and hydration. After 20–30 minutes of numbing cream, treatment takes about 30–60 minutes; small bumps or redness usually settle within a few days. A course of 3–4 sessions 2–4 weeks apart is typical, with maintenance every 3–6 months; a full-face session in Gangnam costs roughly ₩200,000–₩700,000.
What are PDRN injections?
PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) is a regenerative ingredient derived from salmon DNA. Injected into the skin, it is used to support collagen production and healing, improve elasticity and calm inflammation. In Korea the best-known PDRN product is Rejuran Healer, but other PDRN products are also available.
