About This Treatment

Polynucleotide (PDRN) Facial is the medical title for treatments sometimes promoted online as a “Salmon Sperm Facial.” The nickname refers to the source often associated with some polynucleotide products, not a standardized treatment. Source and allergy relevance should be discussed clearly, including the exact product and route being considered.

In the United States, aesthetic injectable or topical uses of polynucleotide/PDRN products are not FDA-approved. Evidence is evolving and does not establish a uniform result, protocol, or safety profile. An informed decision should compare this uncertainty with established alternatives and avoid treatment when product source, contents, or suitability are unclear.
