Salmon DNA Skin Booster
Better skin. Same face.
Some skin concerns have nothing to do with volume or lines. Skin can simply look tired, feel dry, or lose its smoothness and bounce. Over a short course, your doctor places purified salmon DNA and hyaluronic acid into the skin through fine injections, so it can become better hydrated, then smoother and more elastic.

How it works: working with your skin, not against it
Polynucleotides are small, purified fragments of salmon DNA, made with PN-HPT™, Polynucleotide Highly Purified Technology. They work with your skin’s own repair process and may encourage your fibroblasts, the cells that keep collagen and elastin in order. Alongside them, hyaluronic acid draws water into the skin.
Mannitol, an antioxidant, slows the formula’s breakdown so it lasts longer in the skin.
This is not a volumising filler. It does not change your shape. It improves the quality of the skin itself.
Where it can be used
Face, Around the eyes, Cheeks, Around the mouth, Neck, Décolletage
What to expect
- Within days
Your skin may feel more hydrated.
- Over the weeks of a course
Texture and fine lines take longer to change. Your doctor may adjust the course to your skin.
- Day 1 to 3
Small bumps, redness, tenderness or mild swelling usually pass, and any bruising fades gradually.
- After your course
The change can last six to nine months.
Results vary, and your doctor will tell you what to expect for your own skin.
Your visit, step by step
Before
- Tell your doctor what you take, including blood thinners, and about previous skin treatments
- Leave a few days before an important event, as bumps or bruising may still show
- Skip alcohol the day before, as it can increase bruising
- Keep taking prescribed medicine unless its prescriber says to stop
- Arrive with clean skin and no makeup
The day
Your skin is cleansed and numbed with a cream first. The injections are small and many, each leaves a tiny raised point, and the session takes under an hour. The points start to settle within several hours.

Skin boosters, side by side
Four different ways to better skin. Your doctor will help you choose.
Questions people ask
It is a skin-quality treatment, not a filler. Your doctor places purified polynucleotides, tiny fragments of salmon DNA that contain no genes or peptides and cannot change your DNA, with hyaluronic acid into the skin. The hyaluronic acid draws water in, while the polynucleotides work with your skin’s own repair process.
No. This is not a volumising treatment. It works on the quality of the skin itself, so you look like yourself, with skin that looks and feels more rested.
Dry or dull skin can become better hydrated, then smoother and more elastic, over a short course. It may help if your skin looks tired, feels dehydrated, shows early fine lines, or has uneven texture or less elasticity.
The polynucleotides may encourage your fibroblasts, the cells that keep collagen and elastin in order. Hyaluronic acid draws in water, and mannitol, an antioxidant, slows the formula’s breakdown so it lasts longer in the skin.
The treatment is designed as a short course: three sessions, two to three weeks apart. Hydration can improve within days, but texture and fine lines take longer to change. Your doctor may adjust the course to match your skin.
Your skin may feel more hydrated within days. Smoother texture and softer fine lines come over the weeks of the course.
Once the course is done, the change can last six to nine months. Results vary, and your doctor will tell you what to expect for your own skin.
The face, around the eyes, the cheeks, around the mouth, the neck and the décolletage.
Your skin is cleansed and numbed with a cream first. The injections are small and many, and most people describe it as manageable. Each one leaves a tiny raised point that settles within several hours.
A little. Small bumps, redness, tenderness or mild swelling usually pass within one to three days, and any bruising fades gradually. If you have an important event, we suggest leaving a few days beforehand.
Not for at least 12 hours. After that, use mild, hydrating products only for a few days, with moisturiser and SPF every morning.
- First 24 hours: No touching or massage of the treated areas, and no alcohol
- First 1 to 2 days: No heavy exercise, saunas, hot showers, direct sun or tanning beds
- At least 7 days: No AHAs, BHAs or retinoids, or as your doctor advises
Please wait if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a fish or salmon allergy, an active skin infection or certain medical conditions. Your doctor will go through this with you at your consultation.
Tell your doctor what you take, including blood thinners, and about any previous skin treatments. Skip alcohol the day before, arrive with clean skin and no makeup, and keep taking prescribed medicine unless its prescriber says to stop.
A filler adds volume and shape. A Skin Booster improves hydration, texture and elasticity, and it does not change your contours. Many people want both, and your doctor can advise on what is right for you.
