Salmon Sperm (PDRN) Facials in Encino, CA

Luminous, healthy skin is considered a beauty ideal in all cultures throughout the world, and achieving this goal through natural, regenerative treatments is the preferred method for today’s patients. Rather than using unnatural, harmful substances to enhance the skin, salmon sperm facials utilize PDRN (poly-deoxy-ribo-nucleotides) to stimulate cells, promoting collagen production, skin healing properties, oxidation, and internal aesthetic improvement.

What Is a Salmon Sperm (PDRN) Facial?

Bioregenerative anti-aging treatments are at the forefront of aesthetic procedures today. PDRN (poly-deoxy-ribo-nucleotides) are fragments of DNA that stimulate cells internally, triggering anti-aging from the inside out. “The Salmon Sperm Facial” uses PDRN obtained from the “milt” of salmon. Salmon DNA is used because it is 98% compatible with human DNA, eliminating much of the risk of allergic or adverse reactions.

PDRN has been injected under the skin outside of the United States, but has not yet been FDA approved to be injected in the US. It is also effective as a topical treatment when used in conjunction with microneedling. Microneedling creates channels in the skin, allowing penetration of the PDRN in the dermis. Dr. Persky’s salmon sperm facial is a multistep process that harnesses the regenerative power of PDRN for stunning, glassy skin results.

What Are the Benefits of Salmon Sperm (PDRN) Facials?

PDRN stimulates fibroblast cells to increase the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in tighter, lifted, and more radiant skin. Other benefits of salmon sperm facials include:

  • A reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
  • Increased collagen production
  • Improved skin texture, tone, and color
  • Increased hydration
  • Reduced risk of allergic reactions
  • Minimal recovery

PDRN facials offer a natural approach to skin rejuvenation, making them ideal for patients of all ages who desire a minimally invasive treatment for dull, dry, fatigued, and lackluster skin.

What Can I Expect From a Salmon Sperm (PDRN) Facial?

Salmon sperm facials are performed in a manner similar to other multi-step facials, such as microneedling with PRP. Dr. Persky will follow these steps:

Step One: Facial Numbing

Dr. Persky begins treatment by applying a topical anesthesia cream on the face for 30 to 60 minutes. This ensures you experience minimal or no discomfort from the microneedling process and that this treatment is completely stress-free.

Step Two: Microneedling

After the anesthetic has had enough time to work, it will be gently cleansed from the face. Next, Dr. Persky will perform mechanical microneedling. During this procedure, a mechanical device resembling a pen with multiple pulsating tiny needles is used to trace across the skin. These needles create microinjuries, or tiny channels, in the skin’s surface. This procedure alone resurfaces the skin, and these microinjuries trigger the body’s healing response, promoting collagen production.

Alone, microneedling is an effective regenerative treatment. It’s even more powerful when combined with a topical treatment, such as PDRN.

Step Three: Salmon Sperm (PDRN) Application

After the skin has been primed and the microchannels created, Dr. Persky will administer two syringes of a purified PDRN solution. The microchannels enable the skin to absorb the solution more effectively, resulting in a better outcome. The treatment typically lasts about 30 minutes (aside from the numbing process). You will be instructed to leave the solution on your skin overnight, then wash it off in the morning.

When Can I See Results After a Salmon Sperm (PDRN) Facial?

Each patient is different, and your results will depend on the number of treatments you undergo, your overall skin quality, and the desired results. However, patients are expected to see results as follows:

  • Results can be seen as early as one to two days after treatment, with improvements in skin hydration, tone, and “K-pop” glassiness.
  • Results will continue to improve over the following weeks, as collagen production begins to advance. Patients can expect to see improvement in skin radiance, reduced fine lines, a smoother texture, and more supple, dewy skin.

For best results, patients are advised to repeat the treatment every four to six weeks, three times, then twice a year for maintenance.

Salmon Sperm (PDRN) Facial FAQ

Are there any risks with salmon sperm (PDRN) facials?

Despite the general compatibility between human and salmon DNA, patients who are allergic to seafood should not undergo this treatment, although a “patch” skin test can be performed to determine whether there is an allergy risk. Other rare risks include:

  • Infection
  • Scarring

Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or those with active skin conditions such as eczema or rosacea, should avoid this treatment.

What is recovery like after a salmon sperm (PDRN) facial?

Immediately after your treatment, expect your face to be slightly red and possibly experience some swelling due to the microneedling. There are usually a few tiny pinpoint spots of blood. This is normal and should subside within a few hours. You may want to use a cold compress to help reduce swelling.

The next morning, gently wash the solution off your face, but be aware that you will have some tiny red dots across your face—these are tiny scabs from the microneedling process. Do not scratch or rub them off, as this can create scars. They will slough off naturally in about a day or two, and you’ll be able to start seeing your results.
