What Is Vitaran?

Vitaran contains 20 mg/ml of polynucleotides (PN): long DNA fragments purified from sea trout raised on land-based farms in South Korea. BR Pharm sells it as HP Vitaran, and LG Chem markets it in Korea as Vitaran.

In Korea it is an approved medical device: in a randomised trial, its eye formula proved non-inferior to a comparison product for crow’s feet. It also carries the CE mark.

Vitaran Products

Product	What it is	Typical use
Vitaran	PN 20 mg/ml, medium viscosity	Skin quality and fine lines on the face
Vitaran i	PN 20 mg/ml, low viscosity	Thin skin around the eyes, including crow’s feet
Vitaran S	PN 20 mg/ml, high viscosity	Scars and uneven texture

In the UK, Vitaran I and Vitaran II are the same 2% formula in 1 ml and 2 ml syringes.

Who Vitaran Suits

Fine lines and loss of elasticity, when quality matters more than volume.
Crow’s feet and thin skin around the eyes, where Vitaran i was studied.
Dull skin on the face, neck, décolletage or hands.
Scars and uneven texture, with Vitaran S.
Not suitable in pregnancy or breastfeeding, or with an active skin infection or fish allergy; blood thinners and autoimmune conditions need a physician’s review.

How the Treatment Works at Veneta

Skin assessment

A physician examines your skin, asks about allergies (including fish) and medicines, and chooses Vitaran, Vitaran i or Vitaran S.

Preparation

The skin is cleansed and disinfected; a numbing cream can be applied.

Micro-injections

Small deposits of gel are injected into the dermis with a very fine needle.

Aftercare and follow-up

Redness and small bumps usually fade within 24–48 hours; small bruises can occur. Avoid saunas, intense exercise and strong sun for a day or two. Next session: about 3–4 weeks later.

Vitaran Compared With Other Skin Boosters

Vitaran, Rejuran, Plinest and Nucleofill are all polynucleotide boosters; they differ in manufacturer, fish source, concentration and range. Rejuran is also Korean but uses salmon DNA; Plinest is Italian.

Vitaran is a PN product, not PDRN: PDRN consists of shorter, lower-molecular-weight DNA fragments. See the polynucleotide overview.
