Salmon DNA Injections (Mid-Face)

Hydration. Bounce. Refined texture—without changing your features.

Salmon DNA injections—often referred to as polynucleotide (PN/PDRN) skin booster injections—are a next-level skin revitalizing treatment designed to improve the quality of the skin in the mid-face (cheeks + upper smile-line region). Think: glassier texture, healthier elasticity, and a more rested look, especially when your skin feels thin, dull, crepey, or “tired” even with good skincare.

This is not a filler replacement and it’s not about adding dramatic volume. It’s for clients who want skin that looks stronger, smoother, and more resilient—the kind of glow that looks expensive because it looks healthy.

Best for

• Dehydrated, dull, or “flat” skin in the cheek region

• Fine lines and early creasing around the mid-face

• Crepey texture or thinning skin (common in the 30s–40s)

• Enlarged-looking pores and uneven texture

• Post-acne texture support (not active breakouts)

• Anyone wanting a natural refresh without looking “done”

How it works (in simple terms)

Polynucleotides support the skin’s natural renewal process by helping improve:

• Hydration retention

• Skin elasticity + firmness

• Texture + overall skin quality

• The look of fine lines over time

You’ll still look like you—just softer, smoother, and more refreshed.

Treatment areas

Focused on the mid-face, including:

• Upper cheeks

• Cheek “skin quality zone”

• Optional: blending toward the upper smile-line area (as appropriate)

What to expect

Appointment time: ~30–45 minutes
Comfort: Topical numbing may be used; you’ll feel small pinches/pressure.
Technique: A series of micro-injections placed strategically through the mid-face for even skin improvement.

Downtime

Minimal, but plan for:

• Small bumps (like tiny mosquito bites) for 12–48 hours

• Mild swelling or tenderness for 1–3 days

• Occasional small bruises (varies by person)

Most clients return to normal activities the same day or next day.

Results timeline

• Early glow/hydration: often within 3–7 days

• Texture + firmness improvements: build over 3–6 weeks

• Best results: typically after a series

Recommended plan

For optimal mid-face skin revitalization:

• 3 sessions, spaced 3–4 weeks apart

• Maintenance every 4–6 months (depending on your skin goals)

Can I combine it with other treatments?

Yes—this is a favorite for stacking results. Common pairings:

• Microneedling (for texture + pores)

• PRP / EZ Gel (for regenerative support)

• Laser or RF tightening (for laxity)

• Neuromodulators (Botox) (for dynamic lines)

• Filler (if volume loss is a separate concern)

We’ll customize the plan so you’re not over-treating—just treating intelligently.

Aftercare

• Avoid heavy sweating, sauna/steam, and alcohol for 24 hours

• No facials, exfoliants, or active skincare (retinoids/acids) for 3–5 days

• Keep skin clean, hydrated, and protected (SPF always)

Possible side effects / risks

As with any injectable treatment, potential risks include:

• Temporary swelling, redness, tenderness

• Bruising

• Small injection-site bumps

• Rare: infection or inflammatory reaction

A consultation is required to confirm candidacy and review your health history.

Who should avoid this?

You may not be a candidate if you are:

• Pregnant or breastfeeding

• Experiencing active skin infection, rash, or outbreak in the area

• Known to have severe allergies or prior reactions to injectable treatments

• Managing certain autoimmune or immune-related conditions (case-by-case)

FAQ

Is this filler?
No. It’s a skin-quality treatment, not a volumizing filler. If you need structure/volume, we’ll discuss whether filler (or biostimulators) makes sense—sometimes the best results are a combination.

Will I look different?
You’ll look more refreshed, not altered. This is for the “people can’t tell what changed, but you look amazing” outcome.

How many sessions do I need?
Most clients love a 3-session series, then maintenance.
