What it is and what it does
RescueMD DNA Repair Complex Pro is a soothing scar prevention serum, expertly formulated to support your skin’s natural healing process, making it ideal for sensitive postprocedure skin. This lightweight serum absorbs quickly, improving the appearance of scars and skin damage while promoting a smoother, more even texture.
Developed by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Suzman, this serum features lapachol, a plant-derived ingredient clinically proven to correct DNA replication errors during the early stages of wound healing. By supporting skin repair at the DNA level, it helps produce healthier, more organized tissue, which may reduce the appearance of postsurgical scars. Additionally, the formula contains Collaxyl peptides to stimulate collagen production and antioxidants that reduce inflammation, contributing to smoother, less noticeable scars. Infused with black currant seed oil and panthenol, it provides deep hydration and calming benefits, particularly for those with irritation or dryness.
RescueMD DNA Repair Complex Pro is perfect for sensitive or normal skin types and works well across all skin tones, though it is not recommended for oily skin. This serum is non-comedogenic, fragrance-free, paraben-free, and cruelty-free, ensuring a gentle experience for your skin.

Key ingredients

Lapachol
Lapachol, a natural ingredient from the Tabebuia avellanedae tree, has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. It supports DNA repair by inhibiting enzymes that could otherwise interfere with the repair process. Lapachol is used for post-surgical care on closed wounds. It may reduce inflammation and prevent infections, and promote faster wound healing, resulting in less scarring.

Peptides are a diverse group of ingredients, each offering unique benefits, such as boosting collagen production, firming skin, or improving texture by coating the skin's surface. However, peptides can inactivate other ingredients, so it's crucial to use peptide-based products in the correct step of your skincare routine and ensure all ingredients are compatible. Since peptides often struggle to penetrate the skin, they work best in a routine specifically designed to enhance their absorption. To maximize their effectiveness, your entire skincare regimen should focus on optimizing penetration, maintaining stability, and minimizing reactions with incompatible ingredients.

Questions about this product
Answered by Dr. Leslie Baumann, MD, FAAD · Miami, FL · 200+ partner practices
Yes, but wait 24 hours after the procedure to use.
Hexapeptide-9 is a peptide known for its role in promoting skin regeneration and supporting the skin’s natural repair processes.
Lapachol, a key ingredient in RescueMD DNA Repair Complex Pro, helps prevent scars by addressing DNA replication errors during the skin's healing process. It slows down the rapid replication of cells that occurs after skin damage, allowing more time for accurate DNA copying. This reduces the likelihood of errors, leading to the formation of healthier, more organized tissue, and resulting in smoother, less noticeable scars.
The main difference lies in the ingredients. RescueMD DNA Repair Complex Pro includes lapachol, a plant-derived ingredient clinically proven to enhance skin repair, along with black currant seed oil for extra hydration and soothing. These ingredients make the Pro version more effective for sensitive or dry skin, focusing on reducing scars and skin damage. Choose the Pro version for targeted scar treatment and enhanced hydration, while the original Complex is better suited for general skin repair across all skin types. This can be used after microneedling but wait 24 hours after the procedure to use it.
