58. The Science of Skin Regeneration: Exploring PDRN and Salmon Sperm in Aesthetics

We’re welcoming Dr. Lanna Cheuck in this episode, a former robotic urologist who pivoted to become a pioneering aesthetics expert. Dr. Cheuck discusses the science behind PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotides), a treatment that has been popular in Asia for years that is now making its way to the US, and its role in cell regeneration. PDRN is derived from salmon DNA, and it being from a natural source has led to it being a key ingredient in the regenerative medicine space. We explore the benefits of skin boosters, comparing topical cosmeceuticals with injectable treatments, and discuss the burgeoning trend of skin boosters poised to revolutionize the aesthetics industry.

Topics discussed in this episode include:

• Why personal adversity led Dr. Cheuck to explore functional and regenerative medicine.

• An introduction to PDRN and its role in cell regeneration.

• Comparison of PDRN's popularity in Asia with its emerging presence in the US.

• Salmon DNA’s role as the source of PDRN, and other surprising uses of the DNA.

• Explanation of the benefits of skin boosters, including enhanced collagen production and reduced inflammation.

• How skin boosters offer minimally invasive alternatives to traditional fillers.

• What the anticipated growth in the skin booster industry looks like.

• The application of PDRN in regenerative medicine and its historical use in Korea.

• How PDRN promotes cell regeneration, and the science behind its effectiveness.

• Which environmental and genetic factors accelerate the aging process.

• What the regulatory hurdles are that PDRN faces during the US FDA approval process.

• How PDRN reduces downtime post-treatment and its anti-inflammatory properties.

• The importance of education and staying updated with medical advancements in aesthetics.
