How do polynucleotides work?
Polynucleotides, also known as Salmon DNA, are a cutting-edge treatment in aesthetic skincare. They use natural DNA fragments derived from salmon to deeply restore and rejuvenate the skin. These DNA and RNA molecules act as the body’s own building blocks for cell renewal and are essential in the skin’s natural repair process. Thanks to the high biological compatibility between salmon DNA and human skin, the treatment effectively activates the skin’s self-healing ability – offering a science-based and natural solution for skin rejuvenation.
Polynucleotides work on multiple levels to:
- Stimulate cell renewal: Activates fibroblasts to boost collagen and elastin production – essential for firm, elastic skin.
- Protect against oxidative stress: Acts as an antioxidant to defend the skin from free radicals.
- Provide deep hydration: Binds water molecules to deliver intense hydration and improve skin texture.
- Enhance microcirculation: Supports blood flow, resulting in a fresher, more radiant complexion.
Benefits of polynucleotide treatment
- Natural skin regeneration: Stimulates the skin’s own healing process for long-lasting, natural results.
- Non-invasive method: No surgery or downtime required.
- Multi-functional: Improves elasticity, hydration, and protection.
- Safe and biocompatible: Well-tolerated and suitable for all skin types.
Who is the treatment suitable for?
Polynucleotides are ideal if you:
- Want to maintain youthful skin with preventive care
- Seek to improve overall skin quality and reduce fine lines and wrinkles
- Have dry, dehydrated, or sun-damaged skin and need deep hydration
- Want smoother, more elastic skin or wish to reduce scarring and uneven texture
What can you expect?
- Visible results within weeks: Skin becomes firmer, more hydrated, and elastic.
- Reduction in fine lines: Gradual softening of wrinkles throughout the treatment course.
- Improved glow and skin tone: Expect a healthy, revitalized complexion.

Reviews
Incredibly warm welcome and caring. Highly recommend!
Very happy!
Matilda performed a facial treatment on me (TCA + microneedling for pigmentation, sun damage, and tired skin), and I felt extremely satisfied and very safe throughout the entire visit. She was incredibly knowledgeable and shared a lot of valuable information both about the treatment and my skincare routine. It made me feel calm, relaxed, and in very safe hands while she carried out her fantastic work.
A big thank you, Matilda 🫶 for your professionalism, care, and all the valuable information 🫶 My skin feels so fresh, and I’m absolutely thrilled with my new glow ✨
So happy that Meya is back! She does amazing lips! Very happy after my visit! ✨
Frequently Asked Questions (Salmon DNA Treatment)
How do I book a consultation for Polynucleotides?
Before undergoing an aesthetic injectable treatment, you must receive both verbal and written information about the treatment. A minimum reflection period of two days then applies.
You will receive this information during a consultation, which can be booked via our website, or in your booking confirmation sent by email. Your injectable treatment must therefore be booked at least two days in advance.
If you repeat the same type of treatment with us within six months, a new reflection period is not required. If more than six months have passed, the reflection period applies again.
At your appointment, you will be asked to confirm in writing that you have received and understood the information and that you consent to the treatment.
Aesthetic injectable treatments are only performed on individuals aged 18 or over.
What are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are natural molecules extracted from wild salmon. They are made up of building blocks of DNA and RNA and are used to stimulate the skin’s natural repair and regeneration processes, resulting in improved texture, elasticity and radiance.
Do polynucleotides help with hair loss?
Yes, early studies show that polynucleotides can improve hair density and support the hair follicle environment in early-stage hair loss.
How do they work?
Polynucleotides integrate with skin cells and activate collagen and elastin production while strengthening DNA repair. This improves skin quality, reduces fine lines and promotes hydration.
How many sessions are needed?
We recommend a course of 2-3 treatments at 4-6 week intervals for best results. After that, you can maintain the effects with one treatment per year.
When will I see results?
Improvements in skin texture and hydration can be noticed within a month, while full results are visible after a few months.
What’s the difference between Polynucleotides and Profhilo/Ejal40?
Polynucleotides, Profhilo and Ejal40 are all regenerative Both polynucleotides and Profhilo/Ejal40 are regenerative treatments that improve skin quality, but they work in different ways:
Profhilo and Ejal40 are both injectable hyaluronic acid treatments that focus on hydration, improved skin elasticity and biorevitalization. Profhilo is more known for its deep moisturizing and “skin-boosting” effect, while Ejal40 has a slightly different composition that deeply strengthens and moisturizes the skin.
Polynucleotides have a strong collagen stimulating effect and are particularly good for mature skin, promoting cell renewal and tissue repair.
Is the treatment painful?
The treatment involves minimal discomfort. We use a thin or blunt needle to inject the polynucleotides. Slight swelling or bruising may occur, but these will disappear quickly.
Are there any side effects?
Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling or small bruises at the injection site. These normally subside within a few days.
Can Polynucleotides help with acne scars?
Yes, polynucleotides are effective in improving skin texture and reducing acne scars, except for ice pick scars which require other treatments like TCA cross.
