These are DNA and RNA fragments, specifically polydeoxyribonucleotides (PDRN) and purified polynucleotides (PN), extracted from salmon sperm.

When applied to the skin, typically after microneedling, polynucleotides stimulate the skin’s natural healing processes. This includes boosting collagen production, encouraging the formation of new blood vessels, and promoting the generation of new skin cells, leading to improved skin texture, hydration, and overall rejuvenation.

This is a procedure where tiny needles are used to create microscopic channels in the skin, which helps enhance the absorption of polynucleotides into the skin.

While “salmon sperm facial” is a more colloquial term, “polynucleotide treatment” or “PDRN treatment” are more accurate and formal terms used in the medical and cosmetic industry.
