TLDR Polydeoxyribonucleotides may help with healing and anti-aging, but more research is needed.
Polydeoxyribonucleotides (PDRN), derived from fish sperm DNA, show promise in regenerative and aesthetic medicine due to their ability to stimulate angiogenesis, collagen synthesis, and exhibit anti-inflammatory effects. Recent research highlights their effectiveness in anti-aging treatments, scar and stretch mark reduction, and addressing hair loss. However, further long-term clinical studies are necessary to fully assess the safety and efficacy of PDRN therapies.
