Collagen-boosting microneedling enhanced with Salmon DNA (PDRN) — advanced skin renewal targeting texture, fine lines, enlarged pores and uneven tone at our Snow Hill clinic.
Microneedling — also known as collagen induction therapy — uses a device fitted with fine needles to create thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the body's natural wound-healing cascade, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin over the following weeks.
At Pure Drip Aesthetics, our microneedling is enhanced with PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) — commonly known as Salmon DNA. PDRN is extracted from salmon and works by binding to adenosine A2A receptors on skin cells, activating anti-inflammatory pathways and accelerating fibroblast activity. Fibroblasts are the cells responsible for producing collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.
The Salmon DNA serum is applied during treatment and driven deep into the skin through the open micro-channels, dramatically amplifying the regenerative effect compared to microneedling alone.
Stimulates collagen to smooth early lines and restore a plumper, more youthful surface.
New collagen tightens pore walls, visibly reducing their appearance over a course of sessions.
Cell turnover and collagen remodelling reveal a smoother, more refined skin surface.
PDRN's regenerative properties restore radiance and even out pigmentation irregularities.
Collagen induction remodels scar tissue, softening the appearance of post-acne marks.
Elastin stimulation improves skin elasticity and gives a subtle lifting effect over time.
Your microneedling session at Pure Drip Aesthetics is a full 1-hour appointment. Numbing cream is applied well in advance to ensure your comfort throughout.
The skin is assessed, makeup removed and thoroughly cleansed to prepare for treatment.
A topical anaesthetic cream is applied and left for 30–45 minutes to ensure maximum comfort during the needling phase.
A professional microneedling device is passed methodically over the treatment area, creating precise micro-channels at the optimal depth for your skin concern.
The PDRN serum is applied immediately after needling and massaged into the skin while the micro-channels are open — maximising absorption and regenerative benefit.
A calming mask is applied to settle the skin, followed by a mineral SPF to protect the treated area before you leave.
The skin will appear pink or flushed for 24–48 hours after treatment — this is a normal healing response. Following these guidelines will support optimal results:
Avoid makeup for at least 24 hours after treatment
Apply SPF 30 or higher daily — especially in the week after treatment
Use a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser and moisturiser for 48 hours
Avoid retinoids, AHAs and BHAs for 3–5 days
Avoid saunas, steam rooms and intense exercise for 24–48 hours
Drink plenty of water — hydration supports the skin's healing process
Results build gradually over 4–8 weeks as collagen remodels
What to expect after treatment: Redness and mild swelling for 24–48 hours is completely normal. Your skin may feel slightly warm and sensitive. Most clients return to normal activities within 24 hours, though more intensive needling may extend this slightly.
A single microneedling session delivers visible improvement, but a course of 3–4 treatments provides the most significant and lasting results. Each session builds on the last, as collagen synthesis accumulates between appointments.
