Microneedling with DermaPen 4 + Rejuran PDRN in Brooklyn, NY: Heal, Hydrate, and Glow

Revive your skin from within with the power of Microneedling using DermaPen 4 combined with Rejuran PDRN—an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment now available in Brooklyn, NY at Skin Glow Dermatology.

This cutting-edge procedure uses DermaPen 4, a medical-grade microneedling device that creates thousands of controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. When paired with Rejuran PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide)—a skin-healing serum derived from purified salmon sperm DNA—the results go beyond basic microneedling. PDRN supports cellular repair, boosts hydration, improves skin texture, reduces redness, and promotes an overall radiant glow.

This cutting-edge procedure, popularized in Asia and now gaining recognition across New York City, harnesses the healing power of purified salmon DNA to restore skin health, boost collagen, and improve elasticity.

Microneedling with DermaPen 4 + Rejuran PDRN ( Salmon Sperm DNA)

🌿 What Is PDRN (Salmon Sperm Extract)?

PDRN is a DNA fragment extracted and purified from the sperm of chum salmon. It stimulates tissue repair, accelerates healing, and promotes collagen production by activating cellular receptors (specifically the A2A adenosine receptor).

In the cosmetic world, PDRN is commercially known as Rejuran, and is now widely used in Korean skin booster therapies and regenerative mesotherapy.

💉 PDRN (Salmon Sperm Extract) Procedure Overview

At Skin Glow Dermatology, we offer PDRN in two delivery formats:

Microneedling with PDRN Serum – a minimally invasive method where fine needles create microchannels that allow the salmon DNA serum to deeply penetrate and trigger repair.
Mesotherapy Injections – micro-injections of PDRN placed strategically into the dermis of the face or neck.

🔬 Types of Treatments Offered

Rejuran Healer – for overall skin rejuvenation and anti-aging
Rejuran S – targeted for acne scars and textured skin
Rejuran I – designed for the delicate eye area
Ariessence Pure PDGF+ – a high-potency lab-derived growth factor serum used post-laser, microneedling, or chemical peels to boost recovery

History of PDRN in NYC

Skin Glow Dermatology is among the first in the borough to combine Rejuran and PDGF+ (Ariessence) for comprehensive regenerative treatments.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is PDRN microneedling safe for dark skin?

Yes. Unlike some lasers, PDRN does not rely on heat. It is a regenerative treatment safe for all ethnicities and highly effective at reducing the risk of hyperpigmentation.

Does the treatment hurt?

With our medical-grade numbing cream, most patients describe the sensation as a mild vibration or sandpaper-like feeling.

How soon will I see results?

While you may notice a “glow” within days due to increased hydration, structural changes like scar improvement and wrinkle reduction typically peak 4–6 weeks after your third session.

Is salmon DNA the same as PRP?

No. While PRP uses your own blood, PDRN uses purified DNA. Ariessence PDGF+ is a lab-derived alternative that offers a much higher concentration of growth factors without the need for a blood draw.

What is PDRN and how does it rejuvenate the skin?

PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide) is a biological molecule extracted from purified salmon DNA. It works by activating the A2A adenosine receptors in your skin, which triggers a rapid “repair mode.” This results in increased collagen synthesis, reduced inflammation, and the repair of damaged DNA within your skin cells, leading to thicker, healthier, and more resilient skin.

Why is Salmon DNA used in dermatology?

Salmon DNA is incredibly similar to human DNA, making it highly biocompatible and safe for regenerative medicine. It is a “skin booster” rather than a traditional filler; instead of just adding volume, it actually changes the health of the skin tissue, which is why it has become the gold standard for “Glass Skin” treatments in Korea and now Brooklyn

What is the difference between Rejuran Healer, I, and S?

We customize your treatment using specific Rejuran formulations:
Rejuran Healer: The classic version for full-face elasticity and hydration.
Rejuran I: A thinner consistency designed specifically for the delicate under-eye area to treat dark circles and fine lines.
Rejuran S: A more concentrated, viscous formula used specifically to “plump” and repair indented acne scars.

How does the DermaPen 4 enhance the PDRN treatment?

Using the DermaPen 4 medical-grade microneedling device allows us to create thousands of micro-channels in the skin. This ensures that the PDRN serum penetrates deep into the dermis where it can do the most work. The microneedling itself triggers collagen, but the addition of Salmon DNA accelerates healing and reduces the typical post-needling redness.

How many sessions are needed to see the “Rejuran Glow”?

While your skin will feel more hydrated after one session, the structural repair takes time. For optimal results, we recommend an initial series of 3 to 4 sessions spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart. Maintenance sessions every 6 months will help sustain the improved elasticity and radiance.

What is the downtime for PDRN therapy in Brooklyn?

Downtime is minimal. You may experience mild redness or tiny “bumps” (if mesotherapy injections were used) that typically subside within 24 to 48 hours. Most patients return to their normal Brooklyn routine the very next day with a refreshed, hydrated appearance.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Yelena Terushkin, PA-C highly enough. After another dermatologist at a different practice misdiagnosed my skin concerns, I sought a second opinion with Yelena. She identified both a melanoma and a basal cell carcinoma that had been missed, and I genuinely believe that decision changed my life. As frightening as the diagnosis was, Yelena handled every step with incredible compassion, professionalism, and empathy. She took the time to thoroughly explain my pathology results, walk me through each treatment option, answer every question I had, and ensure I understood exactly what came next. I never felt rushed, and I always felt like she truly cared about me as a person, not just a patient. She also emphasized the importance of routine skin checks moving forward, helping me understand that early detection is one of the most powerful tools we have in preventing serious outcomes. That education has completely changed the way I approach my health. I will always be grateful to Yelena for her expertise, her kindness, and her diligence. She caught what someone else missed, and because of her, I have the opportunity to move forward with treatment early. If you're looking for a dermatology provider who is exceptionally knowledgeable, compassionate, and meticulous, I cannot recommend Yelena Terushkin enough. She has earned my trust and gratitude for life.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just had a cyst removed; it was an amazing experience overall, doctor was kind, gentle and very emphatetic. Did a magnificent job closing me up as well; as I needed stitching and had previous bad experiences on the matter, I am utterly relieved by the craftsmanship. 5/5! I totally recommend

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went for Botox and fillers and she has completely transformed my face in the best way. My forehead is now totally smooth with zero wrinkles, and my jawline looks so much more lifted and defined. She subtly reshaped my whole facial structure without it looking obvious or overdone at all. I still look like me, just a fresher, more rested version. The whole procedure was quick with literally zero discomfort, and her eye for detail is insane. I keep getting compliments and feel so much more confident. If you’re on the fence, just book it, she’s the real deal! 🙌
