Rejuvenation Treatments
Polynucleotides
About this treatment
Polynucleotides, often referred to as the “salmon sperm facial,” are long chains of nucleotides—the building blocks of DNA and RNA—typically purified from salmon or trout. This revolutionary treatment offers longer-lasting results than many other skin therapies. When injected into the skin via microdroplets, polynucleotides stimulate fibroblasts to boost collagen and elastin production, encourage cellular repair, improve hydration, reduce inflammation, and provide antioxidant benefits. Treatments usually involve 2–4 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart, with maintenance recommended every 6–12 months. Results generally begin to appear within 4–8 weeks, with full effects visible after 12 weeks or more. The benefits include firmer, tighter skin through collagen and elastin stimulation, improved tone and texture with cellular repair, plumper, smoother skin from enhanced hydration, and calmer, less inflamed skin thanks to anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Polynucleotides are suitable for delicate areas such as the under-eyes, neck, décolletage, hands, and even the scalp.
