The Salmon needle for the face is a type of cosmetic injection that is extracted from the DNA of salmon fish. It consists of biological molecules called Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN), which has regenerative properties, stimulating collagen production, reversing signs of skin aging, and treating scars by promoting cell growth and repairing damaged skin cells.
The Salmon DNA serum was first approved in 2008. It was used as an effective compound in tissue repair after skin grafts due to its ability to speed up the healing process of the skin.
How the Salmon needle works for the skin
Salmon injection is a mixture of (PDRN) with molecular weights ranging from 50-150 KDa. It is extracted and purified at high temperature from the sperm DNA of salmon fish. This process results in the extraction of highly effective and pure PDRN.
The mechanism of action of salmon injection lies in its ability to stimulate the metabolism of cells in the skin and promote cellular proliferation by increasing the growth rate of fibroblasts responsible for the normal production of collagen and elastin as well as the formation of new blood vessels. In other words, salmon needles act as a powerful catalyst for tissue repair and regeneration, awakening tired and ageing cells to actively function younger cells, reflecting the aging process of the skin and enhancing the elasticity, texture, hydration and youthfulness of the skin.
Benefits of Skin Salmon Injection
Salmon injection (PDRN) increases the production of collagen in large quantities in the skin resulting in:
- Improved skin texture and smoothness.
- Acts as an anti-inflammatory.
- Reduce the appearance of acne scars.
- Reduce Wrinkles and Fine Lines
- Activates micro-vessels in the skin.
- Improve skin tone and regulate oil secretion in the skin.
- Minimize dilated pores and reduce stretch marks in the skin.
- Strengthens the skin’s natural barrier to protect it from external factors.
- Improve the quality and elasticity of the skin and thus can improve cellulite conditions.
- Promotes skin healing and wound healing for its ability to stimulate fibroblast growth.
- Its molecules are biocompatible with skin components making adverse reactions rare.
How the procedure works
Before starting the procedure, the nurse will clean the skin to prevent any complications or transmission of any infection and then apply a local anesthetic cream to the targeted area to ensure the comfort of the patient during the procedure. The doctor will then inject the PDRN extracted from the salmon’s DNA using very fine needles to reduce the recovery period after the procedure and reduce the risk of bruising.
The technique and depth of the injection varies depending on the area targeted by the treatment and the expected results. After the injection is finished, some may experience a slight redness or itching of the skin, and these effects usually disappear within several hours.
Most Common Uses of Salmon Injection
· Skin rejuvenation, effectively rejuvenates and rejuvenates the skin and reverses skin aging making it an ideal, non-invasive option to enhance skin youth.
·Treatment of hair loss problems, stimulates hair follicles, which promotes the growth of new hair follicles and increases the thickness of the hair, thus strengthening the hair follicles and preventing hair thinning and hair loss problems.
·Accelerate the healing and healing of wounds, through the mechanism of production and repair of damaged tissues Salmon injection promotes the regeneration of healthy tissues and thus accelerates the process of wound healing and scarring.
Number of sessions and results
The results start to appear from the first session and since the treatment is based on the natural stimulation of collagen in the skin, the results appear gradually during the treatment program. The best results usually begin to emerge after 3 to 4 sessions
It is worth noting that the results vary from person to person depending on the rate of regeneration of individual cells per person. However, most reviewers note that the skin started to improve several days after the first session.
The number of sessions needed varies depending on the goal of the treatment and the expected results for the patient. In most cases, approximately 3-6 sessions are scheduled, 3-4 weeks apart. The duration of the session is 15-30 minutes and may be up to an hour depending on the number of areas to be treated in the same session.
Salmon Needle features
- FDA approved.
- Safe and biocompatible with the body.
- It is rare for any adverse reactions or risks to occur.
- non-invasive procedure and its long-term results.
Side Effects
Although it is generally a safe injection, there are some side effects that some reviewers may suffer from, including:
- Redness and swelling at injection sites.
- Appearance of skin bruises.
- Allergic reactions to the injected material.
Post Facial Salmon Needle Session
To get the best results, doctors offer some recommendations for post-injection, including:
- Do not use cosmetics within the first 24 hours.
- No direct exposure to sunlight and use SPF 30 + sunscreen when needed.
- Stop using home scrubs and use gentle, unscented moisturizers.
- After the end of the treatment program, it is recommended to do one session every 6-12 months to maintain the results.
- Avoid strenuous sports activities for 48 hours and avoid high heat such as saunas and jacuzzis.
What is the difference between Salmon injections and Skin Boster injections?
Both of them stimulate the production of collagen in the skin, but they differ in composition and mechanism of action. Skin Boster injections are generally made of hyaluronic acid, whose mechanism of action is to attract water molecules to the skin and thus helps to deeply moisturize the skin, which clearly helps to promote the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.
Salmon injections contain (PDRN), which has the properties of stimulating the growth of lymphocytes, which are the cells primarily responsible for collagen production and wound healing, making it one of the ideal options for skin rejuvenation and regenerative medicine.
Salmon injections act as a natural building block that helps in the formation of new collagen in the skin, which makes their effects more noticeable compared to the injections of Skin Booster in the fight against the effects of aging, prevention and rejuvenation of the skin. Its results are long-lasting compared to Skin Boste injections, which aim to give quick results for freshness and hydration.
Can salmon injections be combined with Skin Boster injections? Which is better?
Yes, salmon injections can be combined with Skin Booster injections for optimal hydration results and to stimulate the skin’s natural collagen production.
The most appropriate procedure is determined by the doctor according to the condition, the purpose of the treatment and the expected results. It is worth mentioning that salmon injection works to treat many skin problems such as scarring, signs of aging and acne, while Skin Booster injections is limited to the freshness and hydration of the skin, the treatment of simple sagging of the skin and the improvement of wrinkles and fine lines, which are also improved by salmon injection.
Can it be combined with other cosmetic techniques?
Yes, it can be used as a complement to many cosmetic techniques to enhance and accelerate the appearance of results, it may be combined with skin tightening techniques such as Ulthera and Thermage FlX or Attiva. It can also be used safely with various cosmetic techniques such as RF Microniding, CO2 and Fraxel Dual techniques to treat scars or with EMTONE to treat cellulite. The treatment program is determined by the doctor according to the expected results of the treatment.
