Move over snail mucin, because salmon DNA is the latest K-beauty obsession.
Yep, you heard that right. Seems like we’re graduating from the land-dwelling gastropod to the fatty ocean resident. Salmon DNA has become a star ingredient in popular skincare products, as well as a cosmetic treatment in its own right.
So, What is It?
Your typical salmon DNA treatment is a mesotherapy-based treatment, meaning it’s a minimally invasive injection of the chosen substance into the middle layer of the skin, or the misoderm.
The substance in question here? Polynucleotides, often derived from salmon DNA. They are naturally occurring molecules that form the building blocks of the skin and play a key role in cell regeneration. When injected into the skin, they help stimulate collagen production, boost elasticity, and enhance hydration. The result is firmer, smoother, and more radiant skin.
Thanks to their high biocompatibility, polynucleotide treatments are generally safe for human skin. They work by promoting tissue repair, reducing inflammation, and supporting the skin’s natural healing processes, making them a popular choice for those looking to restore their complexion from within in a subtle yet effective way.
