At Sonia Cosmetic Clinic in North York, PDRN microneedling combines a regenerative salmon DNA serum with microneedling to repair and rebuild skin from within. It's a go-to treatment for dullness, fine lines, uneven texture, and skin that just needs a genuine reset. Performed by Maryam, a certified medical aesthetician with over 30 years of experience.
Pricing
A single session combines microneedling with a PDRN salmon DNA serum to repair and regenerate skin. Most clients start with a course of 3 to 4 sessions for best results.

Does Your Skin Need a Reset?
PDRN microneedling is a favourite for skin that looks tired, dull, or damaged rather than just lined. Here's when clients typically reach for it.
If several of these sound familiar, PDRN microneedling can help rebuild skin quality from the inside out. Maryam can map out a session plan for your specific concerns.
About the Treatment
PDRN stands for polydeoxyribonucleotide, a regenerative ingredient derived from purified salmon DNA. Because its structure closely resembles fragments of human DNA, it's remarkably effective at signalling skin cells to repair and regenerate, which is why it has earned the nickname "salmon DNA facial" in skincare and aesthetic medicine.
On its own, PDRN applied topically has limited ability to penetrate the skin. That's where microneedling comes in. Microneedling creates thousands of controlled micro-channels across the skin's surface, allowing the PDRN serum to be driven far deeper than it could reach otherwise, right down to the dermis where real repair and collagen production happen.
At Sonia Cosmetic Clinic in North York, Maryam performs this treatment with careful attention to needle depth and serum application, tailoring both to your specific skin concerns, whether that's dullness, fine lines, texture, or a compromised skin barrier.
Sessions typically take 45 to 60 minutes, including numbing time. Most clients notice a healthy glow within days, with continued improvement in texture and tone over the following weeks as new collagen forms.
Why Clients Choose This Treatment
Brightens dull, tired-looking skin by boosting hydration and cell turnover from within.
PDRN signals skin cells to regenerate, supporting genuine tissue repair rather than surface-only results.
Calms redness and sensitivity while improving the skin's ability to retain moisture and bounce back.
Refines pores, softens fine lines, and evens out texture with continued sessions over time.
How It Compares
Here's how PDRN microneedling stacks up against other popular skin rejuvenation options.
Is It Right for You?
For clients who feel their skin has lost its natural radiance and glow.
A preventative option for clients noticing the first fine lines and texture changes.
Helps calm and rebuild sensitive, reactive, or over-exfoliated skin.
Refines rough texture and enlarged pores with a series of regenerative sessions.
Supports skin healing to help fade lingering redness and discoloration from past breakouts.
A great pre-event treatment for clients who want visibly healthier, more radiant skin.
The Science
Understanding the mechanism helps explain why this treatment delivers more than surface-level results.
Fine needles create thousands of controlled micro-injuries, prompting the skin's natural repair response.
The salmon DNA-derived serum is driven into the dermis through the micro-channels, well beyond where topical products can reach.
PDRN signals fibroblasts to increase collagen production and supports tissue regeneration for firmer, healthier-looking skin.
PDRN has been used clinically in regenerative medicine and skincare for its tissue-repairing and anti-inflammatory properties.

Meet Your Specialist
Maryam is drawn to treatments that work with the skin's own repair process rather than against it, which is exactly why PDRN microneedling has become one of her go-to recommendations for clients dealing with dullness, sensitivity, or early signs of aging. She adjusts needle depth and serum application to each person's skin, rather than using a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Her three decades of hands-on experience mean she can read how your skin is responding in real time and adjust the treatment accordingly.
"This is one of the few treatments where you can visibly watch someone's skin get healthier session over session, not just smoother."
