Maximize PDRN Results for Pitted Acne Scars with This Prep

PRDN is a regenerative treatment involving Polydeoxyribonucleotide (Salmon DNA) and non-invasive medical skin preparation.
Persistent pitted acne scars and structural tissue damage caused by severe inflammation and collagen loss.
Uses bio-stimulating molecules to trigger cellular repair, increase metabolic activity and synthesize new collagen fibers.
Identified as “atrophic” scarring, including deep ice-pick, boxcar and rolling scars that disrupt skin smoothness.
Recommended when traditional facials fail to fill skin indentations and professional-grade tissue regeneration is required.

Understanding Pitted Acne Scars

Many individuals in Malaysia struggle with pitted scars that refuse to go away. In our tropical climate, acne often becomes highly inflamed, leading to deep tissue damage. When the skin heals without enough support, it leaves behind frustrating “craters” or uneven textures that makeup cannot effectively hide.

Pitted Acne Scar Root Cause

These scars are medically classified as “atrophic.” They occur because the underlying support structure of your skin, specifically collagen and elastin was destroyed during a severe breakout. Without this internal scaffolding, the skin surface collapses, creating a visible pit.

Symptoms of Pitted Acne Scars

Indented Texture: Small holes or deep dips in the skin surface.
Shadowing Effect: Under harsh office lights or the afternoon sun, the pits look deeper and more obvious.
Loss of Elasticity: The scarred area feels stiffer or less “bouncy” than the surrounding healthy skin.

Progression of Pitted Acne Scars

If left untreated, these scars tend to look worse as we age. As we lose natural collagen over time, the skin loses its firmness, which stretches the existing scars and makes them appear wider and more prominent.

Pitted Acne Scar Myths vs Reality

Myth: “High-end skincare creams can fill in pitted scars.”
Reality: Topical creams only work on the surface. To fix a structural “pit,” you need medical-grade intervention like PDRN to regrow tissue from within the dermis.

Skin Problem Data

Peer-Reviewed Dermatology Data

According to a comprehensive review in Frontiers in Pharmacology, PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide) acts as a powerful tissue-repairing agent by engaging the adenosine A2A receptors. This biological process triggers a “salvage pathway” that recovers DNA fragments to reactivate normal cell proliferation and growth. Clinical data highlights that PDRN is particularly effective in difficult-to-heal conditions, nearly doubling the rate of complete wound closure in clinical trials compared to a placebo.

Estika Clinical Observation

At Estika Medispa, we have observed that PDRN works twice as effectively when the skin is properly prepared. Many clients arrive with “clogged” skin if your pores are blocked by sebum and dead cells, the PDRN molecules cannot absorb efficiently, which limits the results of your investment.

How We Assess Your Pitted Acne Scars

We evaluate the depth and age of your scars during your consultation. While newer scars often respond faster, even older “rolling” scars can see significant improvement when PDRN is combined with our professional skin-clearing preparation.

Understanding PDRN

Science Behind PDRN

PDRN stands for Polydeoxyribonucleotide. It is a DNA fragment derived from Salmon that closely matches human DNA. It acts as a “building block” that instructs your skin cells to begin repairing damage and reproducing healthy tissue immediately.

PDRN Procedure

Skin Prep: We perform a medical-grade deep cleanse and mild chemical peeling to “open” the skin pathways.
Application: The PDRN serum is delivered into the dermis using advanced, non-invasive infusion technology.
Healing: A specialized soothing mask is applied to lock in the regenerative molecules and calm the skin.

PDRN Downtime

There is minimal downtime involved. You might experience slight redness for a few hours, but most of our clients return to their daily activities in Kuala Lumpur immediately after the session.

PDRN Patient Comfort Scale

The treatment is very manageable. With our specialized delivery methods at Estika, most patients describe the sensation as a light “tingling” rather than pain.

PDRN Results

Unlike facials that offer an instant glow, PDRN focuses on long-term healing. You will start to see the skin texture “filling in” and becoming smoother after approximately 2 to 4 weeks as new collagen matures.
