Polynucleotides (Salmon DNA Treatment)
Polynucleotides are advanced injectable skin regeneration treatments designed to improve skin quality at a cellular level. They are derived from highly purified DNA fragments and support tissue repair, hydration, and cellular renewal. In aesthetic medicine, polynucleotides are sometimes informally referred to as “salmon DNA” treatments, reflecting their biological origin, while clinically they are regulated and used as medical polynucleotide-based injectables.
At our clinic in Lisbon, Portugal, polynucleotide treatments are offered as part of a regenerative, longevity-focused approach to skin rejuvenation. Rather than adding volume or altering facial contours, polynucleotides enhance the skin’s natural repair mechanisms, resulting in healthier, more resilient, and more radiant skin over time.
What Polynucleotides Do
- Stimulate fibroblast activity and collagen production
- Support cellular regeneration and tissue repair
- Improve microcirculation and tissue quality
- Enhance skin hydration, elasticity, and resilience
Who Are Polynucleotide Treatments Suitable For
Polynucleotide treatments are suitable for women and men of all ages who wish to improve skin quality in a natural and regenerative way. They are particularly beneficial for:
- Early signs of skin aging
- Dehydrated, dull, or stressed skin

Are Polynucleotides Safe?
Yes, polynucleotides are biodegradable and biocompatible, as they are composed of natural molecular building blocks. This ensures excellent tolerability and minimizes the risk of side effects when treatments are performed by experienced medical professionals.
Results and Longevity
- Gradual, natural improvement in skin quality and resilience
- Results typically last 6 to 9 months, depending on skin condition and lifestyle
- Maintenance treatments may be recommended to support long-term skin health
