Salmon DNA therapy has become one of the most refined regenerative treatments in aesthetic medicine. Known for its ability to deeply hydrate, repair, and revive the skin, it is especially popular among patients seeking a naturally refreshed look without fillers or invasive procedures. At the practice of Dr. Matteo Vigo, this treatment is performed with precision and a personalised approach, ensuring every patient achieves a softer, clearer, and more radiant complexion.
Salmon DNA contains highly pure polynucleotides — molecules that support skin regeneration, hydration, and cellular repair. When introduced into the skin, these polynucleotides encourage renewal from within, making the treatment ideal for dull, dehydrated, or ageing skin that needs a gentle but effective reset.
How salmon DNA works
Polynucleotides extracted from salmon DNA mimic the body’s own DNA structure. When injected into the skin, they stimulate cell growth, enhance tissue repair, and increase deep hydration.
This process allows the skin to:
- Retain moisture more effectively
- Repair signs of stress or damage
- Smooth fine lines
- Improve elasticity
- Boost overall radiance
Salmon DNA does not add artificial volume — instead, it restores the skin’s natural vitality, making it suitable for patients who prefer subtle and organic-looking improvements.
Where the treatment can be used
Salmon DNA therapy is versatile and can be used across several areas:
Face
Helps with dehydration, early ageing lines, uneven texture, and dullness.
Under-eye area
One of the most requested uses, as it brightens and hydrates thin, tired-looking skin.
Neck
Improves crepiness, firmness, and general texture.
Décolletage
Reduces sun damage, fine lines, and dryness.
Hands
Enhances skin quality by improving hydration and smoothness.
Because it focuses on regeneration, the treatment blends seamlessly into a wider rejuvenation plan designed by Dr. Vigo.
What makes salmon DNA unique?
Deep hydration
Polynucleotides bind water molecules, making the skin more hydrated from the inside.
Tissue repair and healing
They assist in repairing damaged or weakened skin, which is why the treatment is often used after resurfacing procedures.
Natural-looking results
There is no artificial fullness — the effect is soft, refreshed, and youthful.
Suitable for sensitive skin
The formulation is gentle and well-tolerated, even for delicate areas.
Brightening effect
Many patients notice a healthier tone, reduction in dullness, and a more even complexion.
What to expect during your session
Dr. Matteo Vigo begins with a careful assessment of your skin quality and concerns. Salmon DNA is then injected in small amounts across the targeted area using precise micro-techniques that maximise absorption and comfort.
A typical session takes around 20–30 minutes.
Mild redness or pinpoint marks may appear shortly after the treatment, but they settle quickly. Most patients return to their daily activities on the same day.
For best results, a series of sessions may be recommended — usually spaced a few weeks apart — depending on your skin’s condition and goals.
Your results
The skin gradually appears:
- More hydrated
- Brighter and healthier
- Smoother in texture
- Less creased or fatigued
- More elastic
While some improvement is noticeable early on, the most significant changes develop over the following weeks as the polynucleotides interact with the skin’s natural repair processes.
Many patients choose to maintain their results with regular sessions throughout the year, especially before events or during periods of increased skin stress.
Who can benefit from salmon DNA?
This treatment is ideal for individuals who:
- Want natural skin rejuvenation
- Prefer non-filling, non-volumising solutions
- Have dull, dry, or tired-looking skin
- Experience early signs of ageing
- Want to brighten the under-eye area
- Need a recovery-boost after other skin procedures
It is suitable for all skin types and fits seamlessly into comprehensive treatment plans.
