What Is Salmon DNA Injection?

Salmon DNA injection is a regenerative treatment that delivers purified salmon DNA fragments into the dermis. These fragments act as scaffolds, stimulating fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin. The outcome is firmer, smoother, and more hydrated skin, addressing early signs of aging and dullness.

Key Benefits:

  • Stimulates collagen and elastin production

  • Improves skin hydration and elasticity

  • Reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and dullness

  • Minimally invasive with little to no downtime


Signs of Skin Aging Treated by Salmon DNA Injection

This treatment targets:

  • Fine lines and early wrinkles

  • Loss of skin firmness and elasticity

  • Dry, dull, or uneven texture

  • Mild sagging on face, neck, or hands


Causes and Risk Factors for Skin Aging

Skin aging occurs due to multiple factors:

  • Intrinsic aging: Natural breakdown of collagen over time

  • Sun exposure: UV rays accelerate skin damage

  • Lifestyle factors: Smoking, poor diet, and stress reduce skin resilience

  • Environmental pollutants: Free radicals damage dermal structures

  • Hormonal changes: Menopause and declining hormone levels reduce collagen


Benefits of Salmon DNA Injection

Salmon DNA injection offers a range of anti-aging and skin-rejuvenating benefits by stimulating collagen and elastin production in the dermis. Key advantages include:

  1. Improves Skin Elasticity and Firmness
    By promoting fibroblast activity, salmon DNA strengthens the skin’s supportive structures, restoring firmness and reducing sagging in the face, neck, and hands.

  2. Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles
    Regular treatments help smooth out early wrinkles and fine lines, giving skin a more youthful, refreshed appearance.

  3. Enhances Hydration and Radiance
    Salmon DNA increases the skin’s moisture retention, improving overall hydration and leaving the skin soft, plump, and glowing.

  4. Minimally Invasive with Little Downtime
    The procedure is gentle and quick, usually completed in 20–40 minutes, with minimal discomfort and rapid recovery, making it suitable for busy individuals.

  5. Supports Long-Term Skin Rejuvenation
    With repeated sessions, collagen and elastin levels are maintained or enhanced, improving skin texture, elasticity, and overall health over time.

  6. Safe and Personalized Treatment
    When performed by board-certified dermatologists, salmon DNA injection is tailored to each patient’s skin type and concerns, ensuring maximum effectiveness and safety.

Skin Evaluation Before Treatment

A dermatologist or aesthetic specialist typically conducts:

  • Medical history: Review of prior treatments, allergies, and skin conditions

  • Visual inspection: Assessment of wrinkles, sagging, and hydration

  • Skin analysis tools: Measure elasticity, hydration, and dermal thickness

  • Patch testing: Optional for sensitive skin


Treatment Procedure

Salmon DNA injections are performed under professional supervision:

1. Preparation

  • Cleanse and disinfect the treatment area

  • Apply topical numbing cream if needed

2. Injection Technique

  • Fine needles or microcannulas deliver salmon DNA into the dermis

  • Target areas: face, neck, hands, décolletage

  • Sessions typically last 20–40 minutes

3. Treatment Schedule

  • Usually 3–5 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart

  • Maintenance every 6–12 months recommended

4. Combination Therapy

  • Often paired with hyaluronic acid, PRP, rejuran healer or mesotherapy for enhanced results


Risks and Side Effects

Salmon DNA injections are generally safe. Mild, temporary effects may include:

  • Redness, swelling, or bruising

  • Tenderness or mild itching

  • Rare allergic reactions

  • Minimal infection risk if aftercare is followed


Aftercare and Prevention

  • Avoid direct sun exposure; use SPF 30+
