PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide) Therapy

Regenerative Skin Repair at the Cellular Level 

What Is PDRN? 

PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide) is a powerful regenerative compound derived from purified DNA fragments that stimulate tissue repair, cellular turnover, and collagen production. Widely used in regenerative medicine and wound healing, PDRN works at a cellular level to restore skin health, elasticity, and resilience.

At AURAE MD, PDRN is used as part of advanced skin rejuvenation protocols to support healing, improve texture, and enhance overall skin quality.

How PDRN Works 

PDRN activates fibroblasts and promotes angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation), improving oxygenation and nutrient delivery to the skin. This leads to healthier, stronger, more luminous skin over time.

Benefits of PDRN 

  • Improves skin texture and elasticity
  • Enhances collagen and elastin production
  • Supports skin repair and recovery
  • Reduces inflammation and redness
  • Ideal for compromised or aging skin

How PDRN Is Used 

PDRN may be delivered through:

  • Microinfusion treatments
  • Post-laser or post-procedure recovery protocols
  • Targeted regenerative skin treatments

Who Is a Good Candidate? 

PDRN is suitable for patients seeking:

  • Improved skin quality and cellular skin health
  • Enhanced healing after resurfacing procedures
  • A regenerative, science-backed approach to skin rejuvenation Downtime 

Minimal to none, depending on delivery method.

PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide) Therapy – FAQs What is PDRN used for in aesthetic medicine? 

PDRN is used to improve overall skin quality by supporting cellular repair, collagen production, and tissue regeneration. It is commonly incorporated into treatments for skin texture, inflammation, post-procedure healing, and long-term skin rejuvenation.

Is PDRN injectable or topical? 

PDRN can be delivered topically, either through microinfusion or post-procedure as a part of recovery protocols.

How many PDRN treatments are needed? 

Some patients notice improvement after a single treatment, while others benefit from a series depending on skin condition and goals. PDRN is often used as part of a comprehensive regenerative plan.

Is there downtime after PDRN treatment? 

Downtime is minimal to none. Mild redness may occur depending on how the PDRN is delivered, but most patients return to normal activities the same day.

PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) 

Harness Your Body’s Own Regenerative Power 

What Is PRF? 

PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is an advanced form of platelet therapy derived from your own blood. It contains a high concentration of platelets, growth factors, white blood cells, and fibrin, all essential components for tissue repair and regeneration.

Unlike PRP, PRF is processed without additives, allowing for a slower, more sustained release of growth factors.

How PRF Works 

Once injected or applied, PRF stimulates collagen production, improves circulation, and enhances tissue regeneration naturally over time.

Benefits of PRF 

  • Improves skin texture and tone
  • Stimulates collagen production
  • Enhances under-eye quality and facial vitality
  • Supports hair restoration treatments
  • 100% natural and biocompatible

Common Treatment Areas 

  • Under-eye hollowing and crepey skin
  • Face and neck rejuvenation
  • Scalp (for hair support)

Who Is a Good Candidate? 

Ideal for patients who prefer:

  • Natural, biologic treatments
  • Regenerative skin improvement without HA fillers
  • Gradual, long-term results

Downtime 

Mild swelling or bruising may occur; most patients return to normal activities quickly.

PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) – FAQs 

What is the difference between PRF and PRP? 

PRF is considered a more advanced form of platelet therapy. It is processed without additives and releases growth factors more slowly over time, allowing for prolonged regenerative effects compared to PRP.

What areas can be treated with PRF? 

PRF is commonly used for under-eye rejuvenation, facial skin quality improvement, scalp treatments for hair support, and areas where natural tissue regeneration is desired.

How long does it take to see results from PRF? 

Results develop gradually as collagen production and tissue regeneration occur. Many patients notice improvement over several weeks, with continued enhancement over months.

Is PRF safe? 

Yes. PRF is derived from your own blood, making it biocompatible and well-tolerated with a low risk of allergic reaction.

CO2 Laser Resurfacing 

Advanced and Customized Skin Resurfacing and Renewal What Is CO2 Laser Resurfacing? 

CO2 laser resurfacing is a gold-standard treatment for improving skin texture, tone, and firmness. By delivering controlled laser energy into the skin, CO2 treatments stimulate collagen production while resurfacing damaged outer layers.

At AURAE MD, CO2 laser treatments are completely customized to your skin goals and downtime preferences.

What CO2 Laser Treats 

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Sun damage and pigmentation
  • Acne scars and textural irregularities
  • Crepiness

How It Works 

CO2 laser creates microscopic channels in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response and collagen regeneration while leaving surrounding tissue intact.

Results 

  • Smoother skin
  • Improved texture and tone
  • Progressive collagen remodeling over several months

Downtime 

Downtime varies based on treatment depth and intensity. Dr. Emami will tailor your treatment to balance results with recovery time.

Enhancing Results 

CO2 laser treatments are often paired with regenerative therapies such as PRF or PDRN to support healing and optimize outcomes.

CO2 Laser Resurfacing – FAQs 

What does CO2 laser resurfacing treat? 

CO2 laser treatments address fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, uneven texture, and pore size by stimulating collagen remodeling and resurfacing damaged skin layers.

How much downtime does a CO2 laser require? 

Downtime depends on the depth and intensity of treatment. Some patients experience several days of redness and peeling, while deeper treatments may require a longer recovery period of several weeks. Treatment settings are completely customized to your facial dynamics, lifestyle and goals.

How long do CO2 laser results last? 

Results are long-lasting, especially when combined with proper skincare and sun protection. Collagen remodeling continues for several months following treatment.

Can CO2 laser be combined with other treatments? 

Yes. CO2 laser resurfacing is often paired with regenerative therapies such as PRF, PRP, or PDRN to support healing and enhance overall results.

Who Is a Good Candidate for CO2 Laser Resurfacing? 

CO2 laser resurfacing is best suited for patients seeking meaningful improvement in skin texture, tone, and firmness through collagen stimulation and resurfacing.

You may be a good candidate for CO2 laser if you:

  • Have mild, moderate, or severe fine lines or wrinkles that have not responded to topical treatments
  • Are concerned about acne scarring or uneven skin texture
  • Have sun damage or visible signs of photoaging
  • Are experiencing large pores or crepiness
  • Are in overall good health and able to accommodate short-term downtime

CO2 laser treatments can be customized in depth and intensity, making them appropriate for a wide range of skin concerns and lifestyle needs. During your consultation, Dr. Emami will assess your skin, medical history, and goals to determine whether CO2 laser resurfacing – or a more conservative alternative – is the most appropriate option.

Who should avoid CO₂ laser resurfacing? 

Patients with certain skin conditions, severe melasma or hyperpigmentation issues, active infections, or those who are pregnant may not be candidates for CO2 laser treatment. Individuals with a history of abnormal scarring or those unable to follow post-treatment care instructions may be advised to consider alternative treatments. A personalized consultation is essential to ensure safety and optimal results.

AquaGold® Fine Touch 

Luxury Microinfusion for Instant Radiance 

What Is AquaGold? 

AquaGold® is a microinfusion treatment that delivers customized skin-enhancing solutions directly into the dermis using 24-karat gold-plated microneedles. This allows for precise, painless delivery of ingredients that improve skin quality and radiance.

What AquaGold Can Deliver 

  • Hyaluronic acid for hydration
  • PDRN or growth factors for regeneration
  • Skin-brightening or pore-refining solutions

Benefits of AquaGold 

  • Immediate glow and improved texture
  • Refined pores and smoother skin
  • Minimal downtime
  • Ideal before events or travel

Common Treatment Areas 

  • Face
  • Neck
  • Décolletage
  • Hands

Downtime 

None. Mild redness may occur and resolve quickly.

Who It’s For 

Perfect for patients seeking:

  • A refreshed, luminous appearance
  • Minimal downtime
  • A refined, polished skin finish

AquaGold® Fine Touch – FAQs 

What is AquaGold used for? 

AquaGold is used to improve skin hydration, texture, pore appearance, and overall radiance. It delivers customized skin-enhancing ingredients directly into the skin.

Is AquaGold the same as microneedling? 

While both treatments create microchannels in the skin, AquaGold is a microinfusion treatment designed to deliver customized skin-enhancing solutions through ultra-fine, gold-plated needles with minimal to no downtime.

AquaGold delivers ingredients at a very superficial depth (approximately 0.1 mm), focusing on skin hydration, texture refinement, and radiance. In contrast, traditional microneedling and RF microneedling are performed at greater depths to stimulate collagen production, improve laxity, and address deeper lines and scarring.

How long do AquaGold results last? 

Results are often visible within days and can last months. Many patients choose AquaGold before events or as part of an ongoing skin maintenance plan.

Is there downtime after AquaGold? 

There is little to no downtime. Mild redness may occur and typically resolves within 24 hours.
