Quick answer · What is Salmon DNA Injection?
Salmon DNA injection is a skin booster using purified DNA fragments, polynucleotides (PN) or PDRN, extracted from salmon. Injected into the dermis, they support fibroblast activity and tissue repair, gradually improving texture, pores, fine scarring, hydration and elasticity. A session takes 30–45 minutes including numbing. Small bumps usually settle within a day, and most patients have 3–4 sessions about three weeks apart.

How it works
DNA fragments that help skin rebuild itself
Salmon-derived DNA is purified so that it is highly compatible with human tissue. Once injected, the fragments support the cells that make collagen and elastin and help calm inflammation. The effect is cumulative: each session builds on the last to improve density, texture and moisture.
-
Consultation & numbing
Your doctor chooses the formulation for your skin, then numbing cream is applied for about 20–30 minutes.
-
Micro-injections
Small amounts are placed evenly across the face by hand or with an injector device, at a shallow dermal depth.
-
Cumulative results
Bumps settle within about a day. Skin feels more hydrated within days, with texture and pores improving over the course.
