Kim Kardashian’s Secret to Glowing Skin: The Salmon DNA Facial Everyone’s Talking About

Kim Kardashian’s glowing skin secret? The trending salmon DNA facial is now available at Dunedin Medical & Aesthetics Clinic

The celebrity-loved skin booster making waves in New Zealand

At Dunedin Medical & Aesthetics Clinic, we offer professional treatments like the salmon DNA facial, a celebrity-endorsed skin booster gaining global attention. Famously used by Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Aniston, this unique injectable facial has become a go-to for those seeking radiant, refreshed skin. But what actually is it—and does it live up to the hype?

What Exactly Is a Salmon DNA Facial?

The salmon DNA facial uses purified polynucleotides extracted from salmon milt (also known as fish sperm) to stimulate skin regeneration. These DNA fragments work at a cellular level to improve skin texture, hydration, and elasticity—without the use of fillers or toxins.

Originally developed in Korea, this treatment is now popular worldwide for its ability to target signs of skin fatigue, sun damage, and fine lines. It’s a favourite among celebrities looking for a subtle, natural glow.

Is the Salmon DNA Facial Safe?

Yes—when prescribed by a medical professional. The treatment involves a series of microinjections into the superficial dermis. Most patients experience minimal downtime, with mild redness resolving within 24–48 hours.

Benefits reported include:

Improved skin tone and hydration
Firmer, more elastic skin
Smoother texture and reduced fine lines

In New Zealand, all injectable treatments like this require a consultation and clinical screening to ensure safety and suitability.

Salmon DNA Facial vs PRP: What’s the Difference?

Both treatments work to rejuvenate skin—but via different mechanisms:

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) uses your own blood to stimulate collagen and healing.
Salmon DNA delivers externally sourced polynucleotides to promote skin repair, hydration, and structure.

Some patients alternate between the two, while others use the salmon DNA facial as a standalone treatment for glowing, dewy skin.

Should You Try It?

If you’re looking for a subtle, naturally refreshed look without fillers or lasers, the salmon DNA facial may be a great option. It’s especially helpful for:

Early signs of ageing
Dull, dehydrated, or UV-damaged skin
Post-travel or stress-induced skin fatigue

We offer personalised consultations at Dunedin Medical & Aesthetics Clinic, where Dr Lee can advise on whether this treatment is right for your goals and skin type.
