What is a Salmon DNA facial?

A Salmon DNA facial uses PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide), a DNA fragment derived from salmon that is structurally close to human DNA. Applied topically after exfoliation, it signals skin cells to repair, supports collagen and improves hydration and elasticity. It's the ingredient behind the Korean "skin repair" facials, and it's gentle enough for sensitive skin.

At NewskinLA the PDRN serum goes on after a cleanse and light exfoliation so it can penetrate, and is worked in with massage before a hydrating mask seals it. Skin looks plumper and calmer the same day; the elasticity and texture changes build over a series.

This is a repair facial, not a peel. It suits skin that needs strengthening rather than stripping.

Who the Salmon DNA facial is for

  • Dehydrated, dull or tired-looking skin
  • Fine lines and early loss of firmness
  • Sensitive or reactive skin that can't take strong actives
  • Skin recovering after peels, sun or stress
  • Anyone wanting a hydrating, no-downtime facial before an event

‍

Not recommended if

  • Fish or seafood allergy (PDRN is salmon-derived)
  • Active acne or infection on the face
  • Open lesions, cold sores or sunburn
  • Pregnancy: tell Anna; the protocol is adjusted
  • A peel in the last week

Salmon DNA facial FAQ

What is PDRN?
Polydeoxyribonucleotide, a DNA fragment from salmon that is very close to human DNA. Applied to skin, it signals repair, supports collagen and improves hydration. It's the active in Korean skin-repair treatments.
Is it safe if I'm allergic to fish?
Not recommended. PDRN is salmon-derived. Tell Anna and she'll suggest an alternative repair facial.
Is there downtime?
None. It's a hydrating, calming facial; makeup can go on right after.
How is it different from DMK?
DMK works on circulation and skin function with a firm enzyme mask. Salmon DNA delivers a repair ingredient topically and is gentler and shorter. Many clients do both.
How many sessions?
One gives hydration and plumpness. For elasticity and fine lines, a series of 3 to 4, two weeks apart.
Can I have it before an event?
Yes. It's a good choice 1 to 3 days before, with zero downtime.
