The Power of Polynucleotides: Why “Salmon Sperm Facials” Are the Ultimate Skin Rejuvenation Treatment

Updated: Mar 19





When it comes to skin rejuvenation, cutting-edge treatments are constantly emerging—but one that’s creating waves in the aesthetic world is polynucleotides, often referred to as "salmon sperm facials." Despite the unusual name, this treatment is a game-changer for skin health, offering deep repair and revitalisation at a cellular level.


What Are Polynucleotides?

Polynucleotides (PNs) are naturally occurring molecules extracted from salmon DNA that help regenerate skin tissue. They work by stimulating collagen production, enhancing skin hydration, and boosting cell repair and renewal. Unlike fillers that simply add volume, polynucleotides actively heal and restore skin function, making them ideal for anti-aging, scar reduction, and improving overall skin quality.


How Do Polynucleotides Benefit the Skin?

  1. Deep Regeneration – Polynucleotides trigger fibroblast activity, leading to enhanced collagen and elastin production for firmer, more youthful skin.

  2. Hydration Boost – They bind to water molecules, deeply hydrating the skin and improving its elasticity.

  3. Anti-Inflammatory Effects – Polynucleotides reduce redness and inflammation, making them effective for rosacea-prone and sensitive skin types.

  4. Improved Skin Texture & Tone – They help smooth out fine lines, acne scars, and uneven pigmentation, giving the skin a healthier, more radiant glow.

Powerful Antioxidant Properties – Acting as a shield against free radicals, they protect the skin from environmental damage and slow down aging.


Who Can Benefit from Polynucleotide Treatments?

Polynucleotides are perfect for anyone looking to improve skin quality and restore a youthful glow. Whether you have dry, dull, or aging skin, or struggle with scarring and inflammation, this treatment offers a powerful, natural solution.


The Treatment Process

The procedure involves micro-injections of polynucleotides into the skin, much like mesotherapy. These injections deliver the active molecules directly into the dermis, where they start working immediately to repair and rejuvenate the skin. There is minimal downtime, with some mild swelling or redness that subsides within a day or two.


Why Is It Called a "Salmon Sperm Facial"?

Although the name may raise eyebrows, the polynucleotides used in these treatments are extracted from salmon DNA, which has been found to be 99% biocompatible with human skin. These molecules are purified and processed for medical and aesthetic use, ensuring safe, effective, and ethical skin rejuvenation.


The Results: What to Expect

After one session, many patients notice improved hydration, brightness, and smoother texture. However, for optimal anti-aging and regenerative effects, a series of 3–4 treatments spaced a 2-4 weeks apart is typically recommended.
