Treatment Overview
Salmon DNA therapy is one of Korea’s most established regenerative skin boosters, using polynucleotides (PN) derived from salmon DNA. These PN molecules are highly biocompatible with human skin and are known for their ability to repair damaged tissue, stimulate fibroblasts, and improve collagen and elastin production. This makes Salmon DNA therapy a foundation for newer treatments like Rejuran Healer.
It is often compared with Exosome Therapy, another cutting-edge regenerative solution:
- Salmon DNA: Focuses on repairing and strengthening the skin’s structure through DNA-based cellular healing.
- Exosome Therapy: Works at the cell communication level, transferring growth factors and signals to stimulate regeneration, calm inflammation, and improve skin vitality.
Korean dermatologists often combine Salmon DNA for dermal healing + Exosome Therapy for cellular-level rejuvenation for more comprehensive results.
Purpose & Benefits
- Skin Repair: Heals damaged, thin, or stressed skin.
- Wrinkle Reduction: Softens fine lines and early folds.
- Collagen & Elastin Boost: Improves skin density and firmness.
- Pore & Scar Refinement: Smooths acne scars and minimizes pores.
- Brightening Effect: Improves pigmentation and dullness.
- Anti-Inflammatory: Reduces redness and sensitivity.
- Synergy with Exosomes: PN restores structure, while exosomes regenerate and extend results.
Ideal Candidates
Salmon DNA therapy in Korea is recommended for:
- Adults in their 20s–60s seeking skin repair and anti-aging.
- Patients with acne scars, pigmentation, or enlarged pores.
- Individuals with sun-damaged, thinning, or sensitive skin.
- Men and women comparing Salmon DNA vs Exosome Therapy:
- Salmon DNA: Best for structural repair and dermal strength.
- Exosomes: Best for healing, collagen stimulation, and inflammation control.
- Patients considering combination care for deeper rejuvenation.
Possible Risks & Complications
Salmon DNA is safe in Korea’s dermatology clinics, but mild effects may include:
- Redness or Pinpoint Bumps: Common after injections, fade within 24–48 hours.
- Mild Swelling or Bruising: Temporary at injection sites.
- Tenderness or Tightness: Normal during collagen stimulation.
- Rare Risks: Allergic reaction or infection (extremely rare).
Surgical Techniques Used
Though non-surgical, Salmon DNA therapy uses precision injection techniques:
- Micro-Injections: PN delivered intradermally across treatment zones.
- Meso-Gun Technology: Ensures even and comfortable delivery.
- Targeted Mapping: Customized for scars, wrinkles, or pigmentation.
- Combination Protocols: Often paired with Exosomes, PRP, or Rejuran.
- Multi-Session Approach: 3–4 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart recommended.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Immediately After: Mild redness, swelling, or small bumps.
- 1–3 Days: Skin calms; hydration and glow visible.
- 2–4 Weeks: Wrinkles soften, scars improve, pigmentation lightens.
- 3–6 Months: Collagen remodeling and barrier strengthening.
Aftercare Tips:
- Avoid makeup for 24 hours.
- Apply SPF 50+ daily.
- Keep skin hydrated with serums and creams.
- Avoid alcohol, sauna, or heavy workouts for 1–2 days.
Results & Longevity
- Immediate: Skin looks fresher and more hydrated.
- Short-Term (2–4 Weeks): Wrinkles soften; pigmentation improves.
- Medium-Term (3–6 Months): Skin becomes firmer and smoother.
- Long-Term: Results last 12–18 months, extended when combined with Exosome Therapy.
Treatment Process in Korea
