If you’ve been keeping an eye on the latest beauty trends, you’ve probably heard the buzz about the Salmon DNA Facial. This innovative treatment uses polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) derived from DNA molecules extracted from salmon cells to rejuvenate, hydrate, and repair skin at a cellular level. And MetroDerm’s Center for Plastic Surgery – Sandy Springs, is the only place you will find it in Atlanta.
What Is the Salmon DNA Facial?
The PDRN Facial, also known as a Salmon DNA Facial, is a cutting-edge skin treatment that uses PDRN, naturally occurring DNA fragments found in salmon. The salmon DNA is put through a meticulous multi-step purification process that removes proteins and other cellular materials. The treatment utilizes PDRNs extracted from salmon cells, as these DNA fragments are well-tolerated by the body, minimizing the risk of inflammation.
How Does the Salmon DNA Facial Work?
During the treatment, polynucleotides are delivered into the skin through microneedling using SkinPen® Precision Elite. This process involves using multiple tiny, sterile needles to puncture the skin, which can allow for better absorption of topical PDRNs by creating tiny holes in the skin. According to MetroDerm’s Ray Hall, Licensed Master Aesthetician at our Atlanta-Sandy Springs location, “these polynucleotides can stimulate cell growth, improve hydration, and increase collagen production.” See our video here. They also have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits, helping protect your skin from environmental damage while calming redness and irritation.
Benefits of the Salmon DNA Facial
- Hydration Boost – Improves skin’s ability to retain moisture for a plumper, dewier look
- Anti-Aging Power – Softens fine lines and improves elasticity
- Brightening Effect – Helps even skin tone and reduces dullness
- Skin Healing Support – Speeds recovery after other procedures like laser treatments or microneedling
- Skin Health – Improves texture, resilience, and radiance
How Long Do the Results From a Salmon DNA Facial Last?
Many people see an instant glow within days of treatment, but the real magic happens over the next 4–6 weeks as collagen production ramps up. Results can last 4–6 months or longer with proper skin care and maintenance sessions.
Why Is the Salmon DNA Facial Trending?
The Salmon DNA Facial is gaining popularity because it combines science-backed ingredients with visible results, offering a non-surgical solution for skin rejuvenation. Whether you want to combat early signs of aging, refresh tired skin, or enhance your glow before an event, this Cosmetic Dermatology treatment can deliver impressive benefits.
