🌸 Quick answer
What are salmon sperm injections? Salmon sperm injections use polynucleotides, DNA-derived molecules purified from salmon, to regenerate and repair the skin. They support cell turnover, deep hydration and elasticity, making skin look brighter and healthier. Part of Korea's skin-regeneration trend, they focus on natural healing rather than adding volume. Early radiance usually appears within three to five days, with fuller effects over three to four weeks, and results typically last three to six months.
What are salmon sperm injections?
Salmon sperm injections deliver polynucleotides (PN), gentle DNA-derived molecules, into the skin to support repair and regeneration. They improve cell turnover, hydration and elasticity, which is why they suit tired, dull or damaged skin. They are a regenerative skin booster rather than a volumising filler.
Because they work by healing rather than filling, results build gradually and look natural. They are closely related to PDRN injections and Rejuran-type treatments.

How a salmon sperm injection session works
-
Skin evaluation
The doctor identifies your concerns and the areas to treat, such as the face or under-eyes.
-
Micro-injection
Fine micro-injections distribute the polynucleotide solution evenly in the dermis.
-
Repair phase

Salmon Sperm Injections FAQ
Do salmon sperm injections really contain salmon DNA?
They contain polynucleotides purified from salmon DNA, not sperm cells. The name is a popular nickname; the product is a refined, sterile regenerative molecule.
How many sessions will I need?
They are usually given as a short course of several sessions spaced one to two weeks apart, then maintained periodically. Your doctor will tailor the plan to your skin.
Do the injections hurt?
Discomfort is mild. Numbing cream can be applied, and most people feel small pinches, with brief redness afterwards.
How are these different from PDRN injections?
Both are DNA-derived repair treatments. PDRN uses shorter fragments, while polynucleotide (PN) products use longer chains. Effects overlap and your doctor will choose the right one.
How long do results last?
Results usually last three to six months depending on your skin and lifestyle, and maintenance sessions help sustain the glow.
Are they safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. Polynucleotide injections are gentle and often chosen for sensitive, dry or tired skin. A doctor checks for active irritation or infection first.
