JH: The “Salmon Semen Facial” is Lauryn’s fabulous nickname for what is called PDRN/PN remedy, or in Korea, “Rejuran Healer.” PDRN and PN are acronyms for “Polydeoxyribonucleotide” and “Polynucleotide,” typically labeled as “Sodium DNA.”
PDRN and PN are naturally occurring molecules utilized in pores and skin rejuvenation remedies. These regenerative, bio-stimulating therapies originated in South Korea and have gained world reputation for his or her means to enhance pores and skin well being at a mobile degree.

Inside 5-7 days, the min-maxers return for an optimized consequence with an entire facial that features a second spherical of the cocktail utilized to the pores and skin, labored in with a full facial therapeutic massage.
Have you learnt the origin of this? We’d like to know extra about the one that determined to first do this experiment!

I don’t know who was the primary particular person to do that, however Rejuran is the corporate that has invested closely in R&D and is the main model for the beauty software of PDRN. Whereas they maintain a major market share in Korea and are increasing to the US (they’re presently present process FDA approval, which can enable it to be injected intradermally as a biostimulant), they could not lead in innovation, as many different corporations are producing wonderful merchandise.

Uncomfortable side effects from PDRN and PN are sometimes minor, resolving inside a couple of days, and are often attributable to the supply technique moderately than the precise compound. For injections, uncomfortable side effects might embody redness, swelling, gentle bruising, needle marks, and pores and skin bumps.

Why is Korea so forward of the remainder of the world in the case of skincare?

Korea has “Hanbang skincare,” a department of skincare rooted in conventional practices that use herbs, plant extracts, and methods based mostly on Conventional Korean Medication (TKM).

Since experiencing true financial progress within the Nineties, Korea has discovered to leverage expertise, popular culture, and wonder as financial drivers.
