The Short Answer
What are salmon DNA injections?
Salmon DNA injections are a non-surgical skin treatment using polynucleotides (PN) — highly purified DNA fragments derived from salmon. You may also see them called PN or PDRN boosters. Placed as tiny micro-injections in the skin, they support the skin’s natural repair process, hydration and collagen production.
The aim is healthier skin rather than added volume. Hydration usually improves within weeks, while elasticity and texture continue to improve over about 2–3 months. The best-known brand is Rejuran Healer.
Treatment is done in the clinic with numbing cream, takes about 30–45 minutes, and most people return to normal activities within 24 hours.
Who It’s For

- Acne scars, enlarged pores and uneven texture
- Skin that needs repair after sun or stress

FAQ
Salmon DNA injections in Seoul: frequently asked questions
Are salmon DNA injections really made from salmon?
Yes. The active ingredient is polynucleotide (PN), purified DNA fragments derived from salmon. They are used to support the skin’s natural repair process rather than to add volume.
What is the difference between PN, PDRN and Rejuran?
PN and PDRN are both DNA-derived ingredients used in skin boosters. Rejuran Healer is a well-known brand of PN booster. Your physician will recommend the most suitable product after examining your skin.
How many sessions do I need?
Most patients have 3–4 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance every 6–12 months. If you are only in Seoul briefly, a single session still gives a benefit.
When will I see results?
Hydration usually improves within a few weeks. Elasticity and texture continue to improve over about 2–3 months, especially after a full course.
Is there any downtime?
Expect mild redness, swelling or tenderness and small injection marks for 1–3 days. Most people return to normal activities within 24 hours.
Can I fly after treatment?
Yes, most patients can fly the next day. Many choose to stay about 1–2 days in Seoul so marks settle before they travel.
How much do salmon DNA injections cost?
Pricing depends on the product, the number of vials and the areas treated. It is quoted after consultation — send us photos on WhatsApp for an estimate before you travel.
Do you have English-speaking staff?
Yes. We have English-speaking coordinators, and Chinese and Japanese support is also available. You can contact us on WhatsApp before your trip.
