Some treatments act on the surface. This one is designed to work with the skin’s own capacity for renewal. The PDRN Exosomes add-on combines PDRN, derived from salmon DNA, with exosome-based technology, with the aim of a smoother, brighter and more youthful-looking complexion. It is offered as a 15-minute add-on to micro-needling or to any facial, rather than as a separate appointment. If you are considering a PDRN treatment in Richmond, BC, it is available at our med spa in Hamilton, Richmond.
It is designed to improve the appearance of dullness, uneven texture, fine lines and overall skin quality, so the complexion can look rested and quietly radiant.
Benefits of a PDRN exosome treatment
PDRN has been studied for its role in supporting tissue repair, and exosome-based products are being explored for their effect on skin renewal. In skincare, the pairing is designed to help the complexion look smoother, brighter and more even, and to improve the look of overall skin quality over time.
As an add-on, it builds on the treatment it accompanies. Paired with micro-needling, it adds a regenerative focus to a collagen-led treatment. Paired with a facial, it extends a hydrating or clarifying ritual with an additional step for skin quality. Results vary from person to person, and this treatment is not a substitute for medical care of any skin condition.

What is a PDRN exosome treatment?
PDRN is short for polydeoxyribonucleotide, a compound made from fragments of DNA. The PDRN used here comes from salmon DNA, which is why treatments of this kind are often called a salmon DNA facial. Exosomes are tiny vesicles that cells release to carry signalling molecules, and exosome-based skincare is designed to support communication between skin cells.
Brought together, the two form a regenerative step aimed at supporting the skin’s own repair and renewal. Research into PDRN and exosomes in skincare is still developing, so the evidence is fairly described as promising rather than settled. The studio has not published how this add-on is performed, so ask when you book and your skin expert can explain the method.
Who is a PDRN exosome treatment for?
This add-on may suit you if your skin looks tired or lacklustre, if early lines or uneven texture have begun to show, or if you would like to support overall skin quality as part of a considered routine. Because it adds only 15 minutes, it fits easily into an appointment you are already booking.
Because PDRN is derived from salmon DNA, it is not suitable if you have a fish or salmon allergy. It may also not be right during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or if you have an active skin infection. If tone is your main concern, the studio’s pigmentation treatments may also be of interest.

What to expect during your PDRN exosome treatment
When you book micro-needling or a facial, simply add PDRN Exosomes to your appointment. Your visit usually begins with a short conversation about your skin, your goals and any allergies, including fish or salmon. This is also the moment to ask exactly how the add-on will be carried out.
Your main treatment then proceeds as planned, beginning with a careful cleanse to remove makeup, oil and sunscreen.
The PDRN and exosome step adds about 15 minutes. What you feel, and whether any redness is expected afterwards, depends on how it is performed and on the treatment it accompanies, so ask about both before you begin.
The appointment typically closes with a soothing product and sun protection, and you leave with aftercare guidance suited to your full treatment.
Results and how many sessions
Regenerative treatments tend to work gradually, supporting the skin’s renewal over several weeks rather than producing an instant change. Some clients notice a fresher look soon after a session, while shifts in texture and overall quality usually take longer to show.
Because this is an add-on, it is often included across a course of micro-needling or regular facials, spaced a few weeks apart. Research is still developing and every skin responds in its own way, so results vary. Your skin expert can suggest how often to include it.
