The Science

What is Microneedling with Salmon DNA?

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.

What It Treats

Skin Concerns

Fine Lines

Stimulates collagen to smooth early lines and restore a plumper, more youthful surface.

Enlarged Pores

New collagen tightens pore walls, visibly reducing their appearance over a course of sessions.

Uneven Texture

Cell turnover and collagen remodelling reveal a smoother, more refined skin surface.

Dull Skin Tone

PDRN's regenerative properties restore radiance and even out pigmentation irregularities.

Post-Acne Scarring

Collagen induction remodels scar tissue, softening the appearance of post-acne marks.

Loss of Firmness

Elastin stimulation improves skin elasticity and gives a subtle lifting effect over time.

The Process

What to Expect

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.

1

Skin Assessment & Cleanse

The skin is assessed, makeup removed and thoroughly cleansed to prepare for treatment.

2

Numbing Cream (30–45 mins)

A topical anaesthetic cream is applied and left for 30–45 minutes to ensure maximum comfort during the needling phase.

3

Microneedling

A professional microneedling device is passed methodically over the treatment area, creating precise micro-channels at the optimal depth for your skin concern.

4

Salmon DNA Application

The PDRN serum is applied immediately after needling and massaged into the skin while the micro-channels are open — maximising absorption and regenerative benefit.

5

Soothing Mask & SPF

A calming mask is applied to settle the skin, followed by a mineral SPF to protect the treated area before you leave.

Post-Treatment

Aftercare Advice

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.

Recommended Course

Best Results with a Course of Treatment

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.

FAQs

Microneedling Questions

Everything you need to know about microneedling with Salmon DNA at Pure Drip Aesthetics.

What is Salmon DNA and why is it used in microneedling? +
Salmon DNA (PDRN — polydeoxyribonucleotide) is a bioactive extract derived from salmon. It works by binding to adenosine A2A receptors on skin cells, which activates anti-inflammatory signalling pathways and accelerates fibroblast activity — the cells responsible for producing collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. When applied during microneedling, the PDRN is delivered directly into the open micro-channels, dramatically increasing its absorption and amplifying the regenerative effects of the treatment.
How many microneedling sessions do I need? +
For optimal results, a course of 3–4 sessions is recommended, spaced 4–6 weeks apart to allow time for collagen remodelling between treatments. Results build progressively with each session, with many clients seeing the most noticeable improvement after their second or third appointment. A single session will deliver visible improvement but a full course gives the most transformative and lasting outcome.
Is microneedling painful? +
A topical numbing cream is applied for 30–45 minutes before treatment begins, significantly reducing any discomfort. During the procedure, you may feel a mild vibrating or scratching sensation — particularly over bonier areas like the forehead. Most clients describe it as very manageable, and many find the sensation quite tolerable. Any sensitivity subsides quickly after the session.
What skin concerns does microneedling treat? +
Microneedling with Salmon DNA is effective for a wide range of concerns: fine lines and early wrinkles, enlarged pores, rough or uneven skin texture, dull or lacklustre skin tone, post-acne scarring, hyperpigmentation and loss of skin firmness. Results improve progressively as newly stimulated collagen matures over 4–8 weeks following each session.
How long do microneedling results last? +
The collagen stimulated by a course of microneedling treatments continues to remodel and improve the skin for up to 6 months after the final session. To maintain and build on results, maintenance treatments every 3–6 months are recommended. Many clients combine maintenance microneedling with other treatments such as dermaplaning or hydrofacials.
Can I have microneedling if I have active acne? +
Microneedling is not recommended for active acne breakouts, as needling over inflamed spots can spread bacteria and worsen the condition. If you have post-acne scarring on otherwise clear skin, microneedling is an excellent option. We will assess your skin during your consultation and advise whether treatment is appropriate for you.
