What are Polynucleotides or "Salmon DNA"?
Polynucleotides are biological molecules commonly extracted from salmon sperm, hence their popular nickname. Their main function is to stimulate cellular regeneration and the production of collagen and elastin in the skin. They are used in aesthetic medicine to improve skin quality, hydration, and elasticity.
This treatment does not seek a radical change, but rather a progressive and natural improvement of the skin. They act at a cellular level, offering a biostimulating approach. Results vary depending on the patient, their age, and the initial condition of their skin.
How do Polynucleotides work?
Polynucleotides are injected into the skin, where they act as biostimulators. Their composition is similar to human DNA, which facilitates their integration and action. They stimulate fibroblasts, which are the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin.
This process leads to an improvement in skin hydration, firmness, and luminosity. They also have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The treatment is carried out in several sessions, spaced over time, to optimize results.
Who are Polynucleotides indicated for?
Polynucleotides are suitable for people looking to improve their skin quality. They are ideal for treating loss of elasticity, dehydration, and the first signs of aging. They can also be beneficial for skin damaged by sun or oxidative stress.
This treatment is suitable for various facial areas, including the eye contour, neck, and décolletage. A prior medical assessment is essential to determine if it is the ideal treatment. Our medical team at Santé Clínica Estética will advise you individually.

The Polynucleotide Treatment Process
Polynucleotide treatment follows a defined medical protocol. Below is the general flow a patient can expect.
- Free Medical Consultation
- Evaluation and Personalized Plan
- Preparation of the Treatment Area
- Polynucleotide Injection
- Post-Treatment Recommendations
- Follow-up Sessions (if applicable)
- Final Results Assessment
Each injection session usually lasts between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the areas to be treated. A cycle of 2 to 4 sessions, spaced every 2 to 4 weeks, is recommended. Results begin to be progressively visible after several weeks.
Recovery and Post-Treatment Care
Recovery after polynucleotide treatment is generally quick with minimal discomfort. You may experience slight redness or small bruises in the injection areas. These reactions usually disappear within a few hours or days.
It is important to follow our medical team's instructions. It is recommended to avoid direct sun exposure and makeup use for the first 24 hours. It is also advisable to avoid intense physical activities and saunas during the same period. Individual results may vary.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are polynucleotides painful?
Injections are performed with very fine needles, and most patients experience only mild discomfort. A topical anesthetic cream can be applied before the procedure for greater comfort. Our team ensures that the treatment is as comfortable as possible.
When are the results of polynucleotide treatment visible?
Results are not immediate, as the treatment stimulates natural biological processes. Generally, the first signs of improvement in skin texture and luminosity can be observed after 2-4 weeks. Optimal results are appreciated after completing the recommended course of sessions and can last several months. Results are assessed during the follow-up consultation.
Are there contraindications for polynucleotides?
Yes, as with any medical procedure, there are contraindications. It is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, people with active infections in the treatment area, autoimmune diseases, or known allergies to any of the components. A detailed medical assessment is essential to rule out any risks.
Can I combine polynucleotides with other aesthetic treatments?
Yes, polynucleotides can be combined with other aesthetic treatments to enhance results. It is common to integrate them into personalized protocols along with hyaluronic acid, neuromodulators, or laser therapies. Our medical team will design the most suitable treatment plan for your goals, ensuring compatibility and safety.
What is the difference between polynucleotides and PRP?
Although both are biostimulating treatments, polynucleotides and PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) act differently. Polynucleotides are DNA fragments that directly stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. PRP, on the other hand, uses growth factors from the patient's own blood to regenerate tissues. Both aim to improve skin quality, but with different mechanisms. The choice between one or the other, or their combination, will depend on the individual medical assessment.
