Short answer: Polynucleotides (salmon DNA) are DNA-fragment injectables that support skin repair processes. The science is real but young: promising for skin quality, elasticity and the under-eye area, with growing clinical data - yet not a filler, not a lifting treatment, and not a miracle.


Claim: Salmon DNA (polynucleotide) injections improve skin quality. Evidence level: Limited — studies report better elasticity, hydration and fine texture, but many are small and short, protocols vary and comparisons with established treatments are limited. My recommendation: Promising and usable, not revolutionary: it is not a filler and not a lifting treatment. The plan should start with measuring what your skin actually lacks.

What it is

Purified DNA fragments, typically salmon-derived, injected into the skin. The proposed mechanism: supporting tissue repair and a better environment for fibroblasts.

What the evidence shows

Studies report improvements in skin elasticity, hydration and fine texture, and the under-eye area is where I find it clinically most useful - thin, tired-looking skin that is risky territory for regular fillers. Honest caveats: many studies are small and short, protocols vary, and comparisons against established treatments are limited. "Promising and usable" is accurate; "revolutionary" is marketing.

Polynucleotides vs hyaluronic skin boosters

Hyaluronic boosters primarily hydrate; polynucleotides primarily target repair. They are teammates, not rivals - which one first depends on what your skin measurably lacks.

Who benefits most

Thin, dull, fatigued skin; the under-eye area; skin quality work alongside energy-based treatments. Typical plans involve a short series of sessions - the exact number decided at examination, not by a package price.

As with every trend, my rule stands: the product's box opens in front of you, and the plan starts with measurement, not marketing.
