Treatment Overview
Plinest is an Italian-developed polynucleotide (PN) skin booster made from highly purified salmon DNA fragments, now widely used in Korean dermatology clinics. It is designed to repair, regenerate, and strengthen the skin at the cellular level. By stimulating fibroblasts, it boosts collagen and elastin production, restores elasticity, and improves skin density.
Unlike fillers, which add immediate volume, Plinest works biologically over time to rebuild skin structure, improve scars, and soften wrinkles. It belongs to the same family of Salmon DNA boosters as Rejuran Healer, Juvelook, and DNA Healer:
- Plinest: Best for elasticity, density, and skin repair.
- Salmon DNA boosters (general): Known for DNA healing, scar regeneration, and anti-aging support.
Purpose & Benefits
- Cellular Repair: PN restores damaged skin cells at the DNA level.
- Collagen & Elastin Boost: Improves firmness, elasticity, and skin thickness.
- Wrinkle Softening: Smooths fine lines and prevents early aging.
- Scar Improvement: Effective for acne scars, stretch marks, and thin skin.
- Hydration: Enhances water retention in the dermis.
- Skin Density: Thickens fragile skin for better resilience.
- Synergy with Other Salmon DNA Boosters: Pairs well with Rejuran or Juvelook for advanced repair.
Ideal Candidates
Plinest in Korea is recommended for:
- Adults in their 30s–60s with sagging skin, wrinkles, or thinning skin.
- Patients with acne scars, enlarged pores, or atrophic scars.
- Men and women comparing Plinest vs Salmon DNA boosters:
- Plinest: Best for elasticity restoration, skin density, and scar repair.
- Rejuran/Other Salmon DNA: Best for DNA-level repair, inflammation control, and hydration.
- Younger patients seeking preventive anti-aging and structural strengthening.
Possible Risks & Complications
Plinest is safe in Korea’s dermatology clinics, but mild temporary side effects may occur:
- Pinpoint Redness or Bumps: Common, fade within 24–48 hours.
- Mild Swelling or Bruising: Especially in thinner skin areas.
- Tightness or Tenderness: May last 1–2 days.
- Rare Risks: Allergic response is extremely rare due to purification process.
Techniques Used
- Micro-Injections: PN placed into the dermis for regeneration.
- Meso-Gun Delivery: Ensures even distribution with minimal pain.
- Targeted Mapping: Applied to wrinkles, scars, and thin skin areas.
- Combination Therapy: Often paired with Rejuran, Juvelook, or PRP.

- Medium-Term (2–3 Months): Stronger elasticity, better scar healing, and collagen remodeling.
- Long-Term: Results last 6–9 months, extended with maintenance or combined with other Salmon DNA boosters.
