Designed to Improve Skin Texture, Firmness, and Long-Term Skin Quality
RF Microneedling with PDRN (Salmon DNA)
If you are noticing changes in your skin such as uneven texture, fine lines, or a loss of firmness, RF Microneedling with PDRN may help improve how your skin looks and how it functions over time.
At Pendeza Aesthetics, this treatment combines radiofrequency microneedling to stimulate collagen deep within the skin with PDRN, a regenerative ingredient that supports cellular repair and recovery. Together, this approach improves skin structure, enhances healing, and creates more consistent, long-term results.
Patients throughout Vienna, Tysons, McLean, Fairfax, and surrounding Northern Virginia communities trust our providers for treatments that are precise, customized, and focused on natural-looking outcomes.
Every treatment begins with a consultation where your provider evaluates your skin condition, healing response, and goals before recommending a personalized plan.
What Is RF Microneedling with PDRN
RF Microneedling is a treatment that uses fine needles and radiofrequency energy to create controlled micro-channels while delivering heat into the deeper layers of the skin. This process stimulates collagen production and improves skin firmness, texture, and overall quality.
PDRN, or polydeoxyribonucleotide, is a regenerative ingredient derived from purified DNA fragments. It is used to support cellular repair, improve tissue regeneration, and enhance the skin’s natural healing process.
When the skin is treated with RF Microneedling, it enters a controlled repair phase. This is where PDRN becomes important.
The micro-channels created during treatment allow PDRN to be delivered deeper into the skin, where it supports how the skin recovers and rebuilds. Combined with the thermal stimulation from radiofrequency energy, this approach improves both the repair process and the final outcome.
PDRN is commonly used in medical and aesthetic settings to support healing, reduce inflammation, and improve overall tissue function. In aesthetic treatments, it enhances recovery, improves skin quality, and supports longer-lasting results.
At Pendeza Aesthetics, PDRN is incorporated when your skin would benefit from additional regenerative support, particularly if it is compromised, slow to heal, or not responding as expected.
Because the outcome of any treatment is influenced by how the skin heals, this approach allows us to improve not just the treatment itself, but the results it produces over time.
How the Treatment Works
Your treatment combines stimulation, heat, and repair:
Collagen Stimulation
RF microneedling triggers your skin’s natural healing response while delivering radiofrequency energy to deeper layers, encouraging collagen and elastin production.
Targeted Delivery of PDRN
Micro-channels created during treatment allow PDRN to reach deeper layers of the skin.
Cellular Repair Support
PDRN supports tissue regeneration, helping the skin heal more efficiently and improve overall function.
