A South Korean-originated skin rejuvenation treatment has made its way into the aesthetic market to hydrate and naturally improve your skin’s overall appearance. This popular treatment involves small injections of polynucleotides (PN) into the skin, which are derived from salmon DNA, acting as a potent skin booster to revitalise aged cells and promote new cellular growth. The biological molecules (PN) extracted from salmon DNA have regenerative properties which stimulate collagen production in the skin to reverse the signs of skin ageing, as well as improving texture and scarring.
The overall procedure is considered non-invasive. Small injections will be made on the skin, after applying a local anaesthetic cream to the targeted area to ensure comfort throughout the treatment. The qualified doctor will use very fine needles to inject the salmon DNA into areas such as the neck, face, under the eyes, décolletage and hands, depending on which areas need the treatment. As for the results, these can be visible right from the first session, however maximum benefits can be witnessed after 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4 weeks part. The duration of the procedure is also very quick as it requires around 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
The main difference is that skin boosters usually contain hyaluronic acid where its mechanism of action is to attract water molecules to moisturise the skin, whereas Salmon DNA injections stimulate the growth of new cells that are responsible for collagen production. The cosmetic procedure promotes cellular proliferation which guarantee tissue repair and regeneration on a much deeper level. This treatment not only provides an evident improvement on the skin’s surface, but it also stimulates new and healthy cell growth reversing the signs of skin ageing. Overall, Salmon DNA is able to deliver superior therapeutic and anti-ageing results for the skin.
