Treatment Overview
Shining PN Therapy is a Korean skin booster combination treatment that integrates polynucleotides (PN/PNN) from salmon DNA with brightening agents, hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and antioxidants. Designed to target both deep cellular repair and visible radiance, it is one of Korea’s most popular therapies for achieving the signature “shining glass skin” effect.
Unlike single-ingredient boosters, Shining PN Therapy works on multiple skin layers—restoring hydration, boosting collagen, brightening uneven tone, and protecting against oxidative stress—making it ideal for those seeking glow plus long-term repair.
It belongs to the Skin Booster Combination Therapy family (Salmon DNA + HA Cocktail, Hydra PN, Meso-Cocktail, Aqua Shine BTX):
- Shining PN Therapy: Best for glow + repair + anti-aging.
- Other combinations: More targeted for pores, scars, or elasticity.
Purpose & Benefits
- DNA Repair: PN/PNN restores skin structure and accelerates healing.
- Radiance & Brightening: Reduces dullness, uneven tone, and pigmentation.
- Deep Hydration: HA improves plumpness and skin smoothness.
- Collagen Stimulation: Increases firmness and reduces wrinkles.
- Antioxidant Protection: Defends skin from stress and pollution.
- Texture Refinement: Improves roughness and minimizes pores.
- Synergy with Other Boosters: Often combined with PRP, exosomes, or vitamin cocktails.
