Salmon
DNAPDRN Microneedling in Ajax, Ontario
The K-beauty breakthrough that tells your skin to rebuild itself — driven deep with microneedling for scars, fine lines and a lit-from-within glow.
Skin repair, written in salmon DNA.
PDRN — polydeoxyribonucleotide — is a regenerative molecule purified from salmon DNA. It's remarkably close to human DNA, so your skin recognises it instantly and reads it as a repair signal.
On its own a cream can't reach far enough to matter. Paired with microneedling, PDRN is delivered exactly where it works — turning a facial into one of the most powerful skin-regeneration treatments available.
Four steps to new skin
The Dr.Pen A20 creates thousands of invisible micro-channels in the skin — the doorways that let active ingredients reach where creams never can.
We press in a PDRN serum extracted from salmon DNA — remarkably close to human DNA, so your skin recognises and welcomes it.
PDRN switches on the skin's own repair pathways — telling fibroblasts to rebuild collagen, calm inflammation and speed healing.
Over the days and weeks after, fresh collagen fills scars and lines, tone evens out, and the skin looks plumper, smoother and lit from within.
Choose your boost
Every microneedling session is customised with the serum that fits your goal.
The hero. A polynucleotide serum that speeds healing, rebuilds collagen and deeply hydrates — the reason our microneedling gives next-level results. Best for scars, fine lines and overall renewal.
A tyrosinase-targeting brightening blend that fades dark spots, melasma and post-acne marks for a clearer, more even complexion over a series.
A moisture magnet that floods the skin with hydration, plumps fine lines and leaves that dewy, bouncy glass-skin bounce.
Exosomes + Salmon DNA — better together
Exosomes are your skin's messengers — microscopic vesicles that carry growth-factor signals from cell to cell. Salmon DNA (PDRN) is the building material. One tells your skin what to do; the other gives it what it needs to do it. Paired after microneedling, they amplify each other.
Carry the growth-factor signals that tell your skin cells exactly what to repair, calm and rebuild.
Supplies the polynucleotide fuel and repair material your cells use to act on those signals.
Faster healing, more collagen, calmer and brighter skin than either active alone.
Illustrative — individual results vary. Exosome serum is applied topically after microneedling as a cosmetic skin-renewal treatment, not an injectable.
Micro-channels let both actives travel deep, instead of sitting on the surface.
They carry the growth-factor messages that tell your cells exactly what to repair, calm and rebuild.
PDRN supplies the polynucleotide building blocks your cells use to act on those signals.
Limited launch pricing.
How much does Salmon DNA microneedling cost?
$220 here in Ajax, regularly $300. Toronto charges a fortune — downtown clinics run $450–$1,000+ for microneedling with the same class of serum. Same treatment, a fraction of the bill.
Salmon DNA, answered
What is Salmon DNA (PDRN)?
PDRN stands for polydeoxyribonucleotide — a regenerative molecule purified from salmon DNA. Its structure is remarkably close to human DNA, so your skin recognises it as a repair signal rather than a foreign ingredient. It has been used in Korean aesthetic medicine for years and is the active behind the current salmon-DNA facial trend.
What does Salmon DNA do for your skin?
It switches on your skin's own repair pathways — prompting fibroblasts to build new collagen, calming inflammation and speeding healing. In practice that means softer acne scars, smoother texture, smaller-looking pores, more even tone and a plumper, hydrated finish that builds over the weeks after each session.
Is Salmon DNA injected at SKINX?
No. At SKINX the PDRN serum is applied topically and driven into the skin through the micro-channels created by microneedling. We do not offer injectable polynucleotides. This is a cosmetic skin-renewal treatment, not an injectable procedure.
How much does Salmon DNA microneedling cost in Ajax?
Salmon DNA (PDRN) microneedling is $220, regularly $300. Microneedling starts at $180 with a hydrating serum, or $200 with a brightening serum, and exosomes together with Salmon DNA is $350 (reg $450). Numbing cream and aftercare guidance are included. Downtown Toronto clinics commonly charge $450 to $1,000 for a comparable microneedling and regenerative serum session.
What is the difference between Salmon DNA and exosomes?
Exosomes are the messengers — microscopic vesicles carrying growth-factor signals that tell your cells what to repair. Salmon DNA (PDRN) is the building material those cells use to act on the signal. One gives the instruction, the other supplies the raw material, which is why pairing them after microneedling works better than either alone.
How many sessions of Salmon DNA microneedling do I need?
Most clients start with a series of three to six sessions spaced about four weeks apart, then maintain a few times a year. The right number depends on what you're treating — surface dullness and texture respond faster than deep or older acne scarring. We'll map out a realistic plan at your consultation rather than promise a fixed result.
Is Salmon DNA microneedling safe for darker skin tones?
Yes. Microneedling works mechanically with fine needles rather than heat or light, so it avoids the rebound pigmentation that some lasers can trigger in deeper skin tones. It is one of the safest collagen-stimulating treatments available for Fitzpatrick types IV to VI, and PDRN's anti-inflammatory action helps keep post-treatment redness down.
Is there any downtime after Salmon DNA microneedling?
Expect redness similar to a mild sunburn for roughly 24 hours, sometimes with light flaking on day two or three. Most clients are comfortable wearing makeup again the next day. PDRN's healing action tends to shorten that window compared with microneedling on its own.
