Salmon sperm facials, also known as polynucleotide treatments, are a skincare procedure that uses DNA extracted from salmon sperm to improve the appearance of skin:
Benefits
The treatment is said to improve skin’s elasticity, hydration, and texture, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It can also help with acne scarring and rosacea.
How it works
The treatment involves injecting or applying a refined ingredient called polynucleotide (PDRN) into the skin. PDRN is made up of long chains of nucleotides, which are the building blocks of DNA and RNA. These molecules stimulate the production of collagen, keratinocytes, and new blood vessels, which can make skin look thicker and healthier.
Popularity
The treatment has become popular with celebrities like Jennifer Aniston and Kim Kardashian.
Precautions
The treatment is not recommended for people under 18, those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or those with certain skin conditions or allergies.
In the US, the FDA has not approved the use of polynucleotide injections, so providers usually apply the formula after microneedling to increase absorption.

Have a great week!
