Treatment Overview
Plinest is an Italian polynucleotide (PN) skin booster derived from purified salmon DNA, now widely available in Korean dermatology clinics. It is designed to repair skin at the cellular level, stimulate fibroblasts, promote collagen and elastin production, and improve skin elasticity and density.
Unlike fillers that add volume, Plinest works biologically to regenerate and strengthen skin structure. It is often compared with Filorga NCTF 135HA:
- Plinest: Focuses on DNA repair, elasticity restoration, and scar healing.
- Filorga NCTF: Focuses on hydration, dermal nutrition, and collagen stimulation.
Korean dermatologists often combine them—Plinest for structural repair + NCTF for radiance and glow.
Purpose & Benefits
- Skin Regeneration: PN stimulates DNA repair and cell turnover.
- Collagen & Elastin Boost: Improves firmness and elasticity.
- Scar Improvement: Effective for acne scars and post-surgical marks.
- Wrinkle Softening: Reduces fine lines and early wrinkles.
- Hydration: Enhances dermal water retention.
- Skin Density: Strengthens thin or fragile skin.
- Synergy with NCTF: Plinest repairs deeper layers, while NCTF nourishes and hydrates the dermis.
Ideal Candidates
Plinest in Korea is recommended for:
- Adults in their 30s–60s with skin laxity, wrinkles, or structural damage.
- Patients with acne scars, atrophic scars, or thinning skin.
- Men and women comparing Plinest vs Filorga NCTF:
- Plinest: Best for structural regeneration, elasticity, and scar healing.
- Filorga NCTF: Best for hydration, brightness, and collagen stimulation.
- Younger patients seeking preventive anti-aging and skin strengthening.
- Individuals who want combination booster protocols for repair + glow.
Possible Risks & Complications
Plinest is safe in Korea’s dermatology clinics, but possible minor effects include:
- Pinpoint Redness or Bumps: From micro-injections, fade in 24–48 hours.
- Mild Bruising or Swelling: Temporary injection-related effects.
- Tightness or Sensitivity: May last 1–2 days.
- Rare Risks: Allergic reactions are extremely rare due to highly purified PN.
Techniques Used
- Micro-Injections: PN placed into the dermis for regeneration.
- Meso-Gun Delivery: Ensures even and comfortable distribution.
- Targeted Mapping: Applied to wrinkles, scars, or laxity zones.
- Combination Therapy: Often paired with Filorga NCTF, Rejuran, or exosomes.
