The use of salmon sperm DNA for skin rejuvenation is taking the beauty world by storm. The ingredient is now a hot topic in the industry, especially in Korea, and has made its way into the beauty routines of famously glowing celebrities Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Anniston.
Many people opt for injectables to maintain their youthful complexion, but this method doesn’t come without risks. There are less invasive options to reap the rewards of salmon DNA and maintain your skin’s radiance. We’ll cover both routes later in the article.
Salmon sperm for skin…?
When we talk about using salmon sperm DNA for skin rejuvenation, it’s important to clarify exactly what this ingredient is - it’s not as direct as it might sound. The term "salmon sperm DNA" refers not to raw sperm but to a specialised extract known as polynucleotide salmon sperm.
This extract is derived from the milt, or sperm, of salmon, which contains high levels of DNA closely related in structure to human DNA. This relation is why salmon DNA is so effective in skin treatments; it helps to repair and regenerate skin cells very efficiently.
What does salmon sperm DNA do for skin?
Salmon sperm DNA enhances the metabolic activity of skin cells, creating a powerful boost in the production of collagen. The extract is a polynucleotide - a chain of the building blocks which make up DNA - which has a very similar structure to that of human DNA. This contributes to its remarkable ability to rejuvenate our skin.
People are injecting salmon DNA into their face, neck, chest, and even the rest of the body for its benefits. Here are just some of them:
- Increases firmness and elasticity
- Reduces acne, pigmentation, red veins and rosacea
- Improves skin tightness and thickness
- Evens out skin tone and soothes inflammation
- Hydrates the skin on a cellular level
Is salmon DNA better than botox?
The answer here will depend on which results and methods an individual prefers. Botox temporarily paralyses muscles to smooth out skin, reducing wrinkles. It’s effective, but there’s a risk of side effects and it requires regular upkeep.
Salmon sperm DNA, however, works on a cellular level to rejuvenate the skin and can be applied topically. It enhances collagen production and skin texture through a gentler, more holistic approach.
How long does it take to work?
The effects of using salmon DNA for skin treatment vary depending on the product used and individual skin conditions. Typically, improvements become noticeable within a few weeks of use, with more obvious results emerging over a few months. Improvement tends to be gradual due to the cumulative nature of increased collagen production.
How often do you have to get salmon DNA injected?
A round of salmon DNA injectables are usually given over 4-5 sessions, every two weeks. Top up treatments are often done every 4-6 months, or as required.
Do I have to inject salmon DNA?
No. Injecting salmon sperm DNA is a common treatment form, but not the only option. This method also comes with potential dangers and side effects. Topical treatments such as those in our skincare collection provide the same nourishing results more safely, without the invasive procedure.
What are the side effects of salmon sperm injections?
Polynucleotide salmon sperm injectables come with a risk of side effects that should be considered, including:
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Fluid getting trapped in the body’s tissues.
Individuals should also take the time to research who this treatment should not be undertaken by: pregnant and lactating women, those taking medication for cardiovascular disease, people with blood clotting problems, are some examples.

Ethical and sustainable sourcing
We’re conscious about how we source salmon sperm DNA in our skincare to ensure it’s both ethical and sustainable.
The DNA used in our collection comes from milt, a by-product of the salmon industry that would otherwise be discarded. By utilising this by-product, we help reduce waste and promote a more sustainable use of resources.
The extraction process itself involves several steps to ensure purity and safety. The milt is collected, frozen, and then transported to specialised laboratories where the DNA is carefully extracted, purified, and prepared for use in skincare products.
This practice aligns with strict ethical standards and is monitored under environmental management systems like the ISO, ensuring that all procedures are conducted responsibly.
The wisdom and abundance within salmon is nothing new. Irish mythology tells of how the hazel tree, the first creation, held all the knowledge of the universe. When a nut from this tree fell into the Well of Wisdom, it was eaten by a great salmon who then learned all the universe’s wisdom.
We can always rely on the wisdom of nature and the universe, and so skincare has learned to work with wisdom within salmon DNA. This use of salmon’s polynucleotides represents huge advancements in naturally effective ways to repair and revitalise your skin. Salmon sperm facial treatments can provide transformative improvements in the structure and appearance of skin - a youthful, glowing complexion right at our fingertips!
