Some skin looks tired even after a good night’s sleep. It feels thin and reactive, but it does not need volume.
This page explains Plenhyage skin booster treatment in Kuala Lumpur in plain terms. It covers what polymerised polynucleotides are, what the evidence shows and who it suits. It also covers Klang Valley prices, the session, results and how Plenhyage compares with Rejuran and HA boosters.
Is your skin thin and tired, or dry and dull?
To start, this one-minute video from the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery explains how injected skin treatments improve skin quality and glow.
Quick Answer: Plenhyage is an injectable gel of polymerised polynucleotides, purified DNA fragments taken from salmon. It is placed just under the skin in small amounts. The polynucleotides bind water and are thought to support fibroblasts, the cells that make collagen, helping repair, hydration, elasticity and fine lines.
Plenhyage is distributed in the UK by DermaFocus, which launched the XL range in September 2022. A registered clinical study of Plenhyage is sponsored by the Italian company I.R.A. Istituto Ricerche Applicate. The product comes in different strengths:
You may see it called “PDRN” or “PN”; a 2025 review found these terms are used loosely. What matters is the product, strength and dose, which the doctor at our aesthetic clinic in Kuala Lumpur names before you start.
Quick Answer: The evidence for Plenhyage itself is limited. Distributor data from 15 patients showed better hydration and elasticity at 20 weeks, and a registered Italian trial has posted no results. Stronger evidence comes from similar salmon-DNA products, where small controlled trials show benefits for scars, texture and fine lines.
| Concern studied | Patients | Schedule | Main finding | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plenhyage XL, hydration and elasticity | 15 | Course over 20 weeks | Hydration up 115% and elasticity up 38% at week 20. Distributor data, not a peer-reviewed trial. | Aesthetics Journal, 2022 |
| Plenhyage Thin, Medium and Strong for dermal defects | 48 (planned) | One session, checks at 4, 8 and 12 weeks | Multi-centre study in Italy. No results posted. | ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05239117 |
| PDRN injections after thyroid surgery, randomised vs no treatment | 44 | Two injections, 1 and 2 days after surgery | Less redness and flatter scars at 3 months; no PDRN side effects seen. | Kim et al., 2023 |
| Eye area, PN vs non-cross-linked HA, double-blind split-face | 27 | Three sessions, 2 weeks apart | Overall scores were similar; PN did better on roughness, pores and elasticity. | Lee et al., 2022 |
| Review of 9 PN studies | 219 | Varied | Wrinkles, texture and elasticity improved; side effects mild and short. Study quality low to moderate. | Systematic review, 2025 |

The product class is widely used: in a survey of 235 Korean dermatologists, 88% used polynucleotide boosters. An under-eye study of 42 patients using another PN brand found satisfaction peaked three months after two sessions.
Quick Answer: Plenhyage usually suits adults with thin, tired, dull or sensitive skin, early fine lines, crepey texture or mild acne scarring, and people who want a natural change without volume. It is a poor fit for deep folds, sagging, active infection, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and anyone allergic to fish or salmon products.
For hollows and dark circles under the eyes, Jalupro Young Eye is another option. Deeper scars usually need a device such as Sylfirm X RF microneedling. The doctor will say if Plenhyage is not the right tool.
Quick Answer: Plenhyage skin booster treatment in Kuala Lumpur is usually priced per session. Skin boosters in KL typically start from about RM 928 a session, so a three- to four-session course starts from about RM 2,800–3,700. The Strong version, larger areas or extra volume may be quoted higher after assessment.
| Treatment plan | Market range (bar = starting price) | Note | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One skin booster session in KL (market starting point) | From about RM 928 | All booster types | |
| Three Plenhyage sessions at that starting point | From about RM 2,800 | Lower end of a usual course | |
| Four Plenhyage sessions at that starting point | From about RM 3,700 | Upper end of a usual course | |
| For context: one Rejuran session | RM 1,200 – 2,500 | PN booster, per session | |
| For context: one Restylane Vital syringe | RM 1,100 – 1,800 | HA booster, per 1 ml | |
| For context: one Profhilo session | RM 2,000 – 4,500 | HA booster, per 2 ml | |

These are market ranges, not BeauLife’s price list. Plenhyage may need one more session than Rejuran, so compare course totals. Ask:
Not sure whether Plenhyage or another booster suits your skin?
Quick Answer: A Plenhyage session usually takes under an hour, including time for numbing cream to work. The doctor places small amounts of gel just under the skin with a fine needle or cannula. Most people feel brief stinging, see small bumps that settle within hours, and return to normal activities the same day.
Pain differs between products and methods. In a split-face trial of PN boosters, pain scored about 5 out of 10 for a standard formula and 3.4 for an adjusted one. Ask whether a needle or cannula will be used.
Quick Answer: Most people notice the first change in hydration and skin feel about three weeks after the first session. The result builds across three to four sessions spaced 21–28 days apart. The distributor quotes results lasting six to nine months, after which many people book a maintenance session.
| Time after first session | What usually happens |
|---|---|
| Day 0 | Small bumps and mild redness at the injection points, usually settling within hours. |
| Day 1 | Most people are back to normal routines. Pinpoint bruises, if any, fade over a few days. |
| Weeks 3–4 | First changes in hydration and skin feel are often noticed. The second session falls in this window. |
| Weeks 6–12 | Third and, if planned, fourth sessions. Texture and fine lines keep improving between visits. |
| Week 20 | In the distributor’s 15-patient data, hydration and elasticity were measured at this point. |
| Months 6–9 | The usual quoted duration of results. Many people plan one maintenance session around here. |

How long results last depends on age, sun, smoking and skincare; daily SPF helps. Judge the result a month after the final session.
Quick Answer: Choose by the main problem. Plenhyage suits thin, tired, sensitive skin that needs gentle repair and hydration. Rejuran is another salmon-DNA booster with more published studies, often chosen for texture, redness and scars. HA boosters such as Profhilo suit dehydrated skin and early laxity. Many plans combine two.
| Feature | Plenhyage | Rejuran | HA boosters (e.g. Profhilo, Restylane Vital) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main ingredient | Polymerised polynucleotides (PDRN) from salmon DNA | Polynucleotides (PN) from salmon DNA | Hyaluronic acid (HA) |
| Main job | Repair and hydration for thin, tired skin | Repair: texture, redness, scars | Hydration and mild laxity |
| Strengths offered | Medium (20 mg/ml), Strong (25 mg/ml) | Versions for face, eyes, scars | Varies by brand |
| Usual starter course | 3–4 sessions, 21–28 days apart | 3 sessions, 2–4 weeks apart | 1–3 sessions, about 4 weeks apart |
| Bumps after treatment | Small bumps for a few hours | Small bumps for 1–2 days | Bumps usually flatten within about a day |
| Typical Klang Valley market range | Quoted after assessment (KL boosters from about RM 928) | RM 1,200 – 2,500 per session | About RM 1,100 – 4,500, by brand and volume |

Quick Answer: Polynucleotide boosters are generally well tolerated. Common effects are small bumps, redness, swelling, tenderness and pinpoint bruises that usually settle within hours to a few days. A 2025 systematic review found side effects mild and short-lived. Like any injection, rare risks include infection, lumps and blocked blood vessels.
In a 2026 animal study, polynucleotide injected into an artery caused only short-lived flow changes, while cross-linked HA filler caused lasting blockage. That is reassuring, but only an animal study. The US Food and Drug Administration advises never buying injectables online. In Malaysia, look for the Medical Device Authority hologram security label on registered devices, and ask the clinic about the product’s registration.
Want to know if Plenhyage suits your skin?
Quick Answer: Yes. Polynucleotide boosters are often combined with lasers, needle RF or HA boosters, because they appear to support skin recovery. A doctor usually spaces treatments a few weeks apart, or gives the booster soon after a device session, so the skin can recover between them.
Quick Answer: BeauLife provides Plenhyage skin booster treatment in Kuala Lumpur at an MOH-registered clinic (KKLIU 1970/2019) operating since 2017, where LCP-certified doctors perform every injectable treatment. The doctor explains which booster suits your skin and gives the full price before treatment, at any of five Klang Valley branches.

Plenhyage makes sense if your skin is thin, tired or sensitive and needs gentle repair and hydration rather than volume. It usually takes three to four sessions about a month apart, with first changes around three weeks and results quoted at six to nine months. Its own published evidence is still limited, so choose a doctor who explains the evidence, the risks and the full course price first.
Skin boosters in Kuala Lumpur typically start from about RM 928 per session, and Plenhyage is quoted after assessment. A usual course is three to four sessions, so plan from about RM 2,800 to 3,700 or more. Your exact quote is given after the consultation.
Most plans use three to four sessions, spaced 21 to 28 days apart. Many people then have a maintenance session every six to nine months.
Numbing cream is applied first, so most people feel brief stinging. The small bumps usually settle within a few hours.
No. Both use salmon DNA, but they are different products with different strengths, courses and prices.
Yes. Its polynucleotides are purified from salmon DNA. Tell the doctor about any fish allergy before treatment.
