Salmon DNA Facial: The Ultimate Guide to Radiant, Youthful Skin
What Is the Salmon DNA Facial?
The Salmon DNA facial—also known as a Rejuran facial, Mermaid Facial, or Polynucleotide Therapy—is an advanced skin treatment that harnesses the regenerative power of polynucleotides (PN) extracted from salmon sperm DNA. Originally popularized in South Korea, this innovative therapy is now sought after worldwide for its ability to address aging, dehydration, dullness, and other common skin concerns.
How Does It Work?
Salmon DNA facials leverage the biocompatibility of salmon polynucleotides with human skin. These potent DNA fragments stimulate cellular repair and regeneration when injected into the dermis (either through microinjections or microneedling). This process wakes dormant fibroblasts, increasing collagen and elastin production, supporting cell turnover, and ultimately helping your skin function like it did years ago.
Key Mechanisms
- Cellular Regeneration: Promotes healthy skin renewal at the cellular level.
- Collagen & Elastin Production: Boosts these structural proteins for firmer, smoother skin.
- Deep Hydration: Polynucleotides attract and retain moisture, creating a plump, dewy complexion.
- Anti-Inflammatory Action: Calms irritation, making it suitable for sensitive and post-procedure skin.
Benefits of Salmon DNA Facials
- Reduces Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Softens lines and wrinkles gradually through improved collagen synthesis.
- Improves Elasticity: Restores a supple, resilient skin texture for a more lifted look.
- Evens Tone & Texture: Fades hyperpigmentation, smooths roughness, and reduces pore size.
- Enhances Hydration: Deeply nourishes and hydrates for a radiant glow.
- Promotes Healing: Aids recovery from acne scars, sun damage, or other forms of irritation.
What to Expect
- Consultation: A provider assesses your skin and personalizes your treatment plan.
- Preparation: Your skin is cleansed, and numbing cream is applied for comfort.
- Application: The polynucleotide-rich serum is delivered via microinjections or combined with microneedling to maximize absorption.
- Aftercare: Soothing masks or serums may be applied post-treatment to enhance results and reduce inflammation.
- Downtime: Minimal downtime; most experience mild redness or swelling that subsides within a day or two.
Who Is It For?
Salmon DNA facials are suitable for a wide range of skin types and ages. They are ideal for anyone seeking non-surgical solutions to:
- Tired, dehydrated, or dull skin
- Early signs of aging (fine lines, loss of elasticity)
- Post-inflammatory pigmentation (from acne or other sources)
- Sensitive or recovery-phase skin (post-laser, RF, or microneedling treatments)
Before & After Results
Patients typically notice:
- Immediate: Brighter, more hydrated complexion right after each session.
- Progressive: Over 2–4 weeks, increased firmness, reduced lines, and improved texture.
- Long-term: With regular maintenance, even tone, “glass skin” radiance, and ongoing prevention of visible aging.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Salmon DNA facial safe?
Yes, the extracted polynucleotides are 97% similar to human DNA and highly biocompatible, minimizing allergic or adverse reactions.
Does it hurt?
Most clients experience mild discomfort due to microinjections or microneedling but report little pain, especially with numbing cream applied beforehand.
Is there downtime?
Usually limited to mild redness, swelling, or occasional tiny bruises, resolving quickly.
How many treatments do I need?
Many see improvement after one session, but 3–5 treatments yield maximum results, followed by periodic maintenance.
The Science Behind the Glow
- Cell Proliferation: Research shows up to 20% increase in new skin cell production after treatment, speeding up your skin’s healing and renewal process.
- Collagen Boost: Direct stimulation of fibroblasts triggers more collagen and elastin, underpinning younger-looking skin.
- Hydration & Barrier Support: Polynucleotides enhance your skin barrier’s ability to lock in moisture, improving resilience and glow.
If you’re seeking a natural, regenerative approach to skin repair and anti-aging with minimal downtime and long-lasting benefits, the Salmon DNA facial may be your new secret weapon for timeless, luminous skin. Book an Appointment today!
