Salmon DNA Facial with Microneedling
We know skin and how to restore it when it starts looking dull, tired, or uneven. At Balle Bliss Luxury Medical Spa in Cypress, TX, we use clinically backed methods to improve skin quality and texture. One of the ways we do this is with salmon DNA facials with microneedling, a treatment that supports smoother, more radiant skin. It is a method we use when patients want to address fine lines, dryness, and a lack of elasticity.
What Is a Salmon DNA Facial?
A salmon DNA facial combines microneedling with a serum derived from salmon DNA to support skin repair and renewal. The serum contains molecules that are biologically similar to human DNA, and it is well-tolerated by all skin types and effective at promoting regeneration. We use microneedling to create microchannels, which allows the serum to penetrate deeper into the skin.
What Is PDRN?
PDRN stands for polydeoxyribonucleotide, a DNA-based compound extracted from salmon that has been widely studied for its regenerative effects. The protein that is extracted from this fish DNA stimulates cellular repair, improves blood flow, and encourages collagen production. When introduced into the skin, PDRN interacts with receptors that trigger tissue healing and renewal. The result is skin that can look smoother, more hydrated, and better supported.
How Rejuran® Works
Rejuran is a special brand of salmon DNA that uses the most advanced refining technology for a high-quality, professional-grade product. It uses a patented Fragments Optimizing Technology (DOT™) for a purer product. We use products like the Healing Essence topically after microneedling. The compound supports fibroblast activity, which helps rebuild the skin’s structure and improves its elasticity.
What Is Microneedling and How Does It Work?
Microneedling is a treatment that uses very fine needles to create microchannels in the skin. At Balle Bliss, we use the Dermapen® device for our microneedling treatments. The process of puncturing the skin helps stimulate the skin’s natural repair response and allows us to deliver targeted serums, like Rejuran, deeper into the tissue. Microneedling improves skin texture, reduces the appearance of fine lines and supports a more even tone.
What Can We Treat With Salmon DNA Plus Microneedling?
When your skin starts to look dull or uneven, it usually means the surface cells are not shedding the way they should. Microneedling helps restart the natural turnover process by stimulating new cell growth. The salmon DNA serum adds nutrients that support healthier-looking skin and a more balanced tone as the layers rebuild.
Fine lines tend to show up as collagen begins to break down, especially around the eyes, mouth, and forehead. Microneedling encourages your skin to produce more of its own collagen, which helps fill in and smooth those early wrinkles. The Rejuran serum works alongside this process by providing DNA fragments that promote regeneration and improve skin texture from within.
Skin that feels tight, flaky, or rough often lacks the ability to retain moisture properly. We use microneedling to open up the skin and allow salmon DNA serum to reach deeper layers, where it can support the rebuilding of the skin barrier. That makes it easier for your skin to hold onto hydration and feel more comfortable.
Texture issues can come from past breakouts, sun damage or slow cell turnover. Microneedling helps break up that surface roughness and signals the skin to rebuild with smoother, more even layers. When we add PDRN-rich Rejuran, we give your skin more of what it needs to restore itself with better structure and tone.
After acne clears, it can leave behind shallow scars or uneven patches that do not respond well to creams or exfoliation. Microneedling targets those areas by breaking down scar tissue and encouraging collagen remodeling. Pairing that with salmon DNA serum helps support more complete healing and can improve the look of pitted or indented scars over time.
Chronic redness or easily irritated skin often needs help beyond basic skincare. The DNA fragments in Rejuran have anti-inflammatory properties that can calm the tissue and promote a healthier response to triggers. Microneedling allows us to deliver those ingredients more effectively, especially for patients dealing with reactive or post-inflammatory redness.
Skin starts to feel less firm as elastin and collagen levels decline. By triggering your skin’s natural repair process, microneedling helps rebuild that structural support. When we add salmon DNA serum, we enhance this process with ingredients that help the skin recover its strength and resilience more efficiently.
What Are the Benefits of Salmon DNA With Microneedling
- Natural Stimulation of Skin Healing: The combination of microneedling and salmon DNA serum works with your body, not against it. With this treatment, we support your skin’s natural ability to heal and strengthen itself.
- Suitable for Most Skin Types: We can use this treatment on a wide range of skin tones and types without the risk of heat damage or pigmentation issues that can come with lasers. The process relies on physical stimulation and bio-compatible ingredients and works well even for patients with sensitive or reactive skin. We always evaluate your skin first to make sure it is a good fit.
- Continued Improvement Over Time: You may not see everything change right away, but the results build as your skin goes through its natural repair cycle. Collagen takes time to form, and the added support from Rejuran helps extend the effects beyond what microneedling alone would achieve.
- Non-Surgical Skin Rejuvenation: If you want noticeable improvements without downtime or invasive treatments, this option works well. It is a practical way to refresh your skin while staying in your normal routine.
Pre-Treatment Instructions
Avoid using retinoids, exfoliants, and harsh skincare products for at least three days before your treatment. Try to keep your skin calm and moisturized, and skip anything that could cause irritation or sensitivity. Do not schedule any waxing, chemical peels, or laser treatments in the week leading up to your appointment. If you are prone to cold sores, let us know in advance so we can discuss antiviral medication. Stay out of the sun and avoid self-tanners, since sunburned or recently tanned skin is not suitable for microneedling treatments.
How the Treatment Works
Consultation
We start with a detailed consultation to examine your skin and make sure you are a good candidate for this treatment. We will talk through your goals, medical history, and any products or treatments you are currently using. If you have active breakouts, infections, or certain skin conditions, we may need to delay treatment until your skin is ready.Preparing Your Skin
Before we begin, we cleanse your skin thoroughly and apply a topical numbing cream to keep you comfortable during the microneedling process. Numbing usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the area we are treating. Once the skin is numb and clean, we can start the treatment without discomfort or risk of irritation from surface debris.Microneedling the Skin
We use the DermaPen to create hundreds of controlled microchannels across the surface of the skin. These tiny punctures trigger your body’s healing response and make it easier for the skin to absorb beneficial ingredients. We adjust the depth and speed based on your skin’s condition and the areas we are treating.Application of Salmon DNA
Right after microneedling, we apply the Rejuran salmon DNA serum directly to the skin while the channels are still open. The active ingredients reach deeper layers where they can have the most impact. The serum works to support cellular repair, calm inflammation, and help your skin rebuild with better structure and hydration.Caring for Your Skin After Treatment
Your skin may feel warm or tight for the first day or two, which is normal. Use a gentle cleanser and avoid any exfoliating products, retinoids, or acids while your skin heals. Keep your skin moisturized and apply a physical sunscreen every morning, even if you plan to stay indoors. Avoid direct sun exposure, hot showers, saunas, and intense workouts for at least 48 hours. Let your skin heal naturally and avoid picking or touching treated areas.
A Timeline of Your Results
Here’s what you can expect after microneedling with salmon DNA serum:
- Immediately after treatment: Your skin may look red and feel warm, similar to a mild sunburn. Mild swelling is also possible but typically fades within a day or two.
- 1 to 3 days post-treatment: Redness and sensitivity begin to calm down. You may notice slight dryness or flaking as your skin starts the renewal process.
- 1 week post-treatment: Skin often feels smoother and more hydrated. Tone may begin to look more even, and fine lines can start to soften as healing continues.
- 2 to 4 weeks post-treatment: Collagen production increases, and deeper changes become more noticeable. Skin texture, firmness, and overall clarity often improve during this phase.
- After a series of treatments: Results build with consistent sessions. Repeated exposure to salmon DNA serum can support long-term improvement in elasticity, tone, and hydration.
Who Is the Ideal Candidate for Salmon DNA?
The ideal candidate for salmon DNA with microneedling is someone looking to improve skin quality without lasers, heat-based treatments, or surgery. Patients often have early signs of aging, such as fine lines, dryness, or loss of firmness, but this approach also works well for those with dull tone, mild acne scarring, or texture irregularities. Candidates should be in generally good health and free of active skin infections, severe acne, or open wounds in the treatment area.
FAQs About Salmon DNA
How Often Should I Get Salmon DNA With Microneedling?
We usually recommend a series of three to four treatments, spaced about four to six weeks apart. We want to give your skin time to heal and respond fully between sessions. After the initial series, maintenance treatments every few months can help extend your results. The exact number depends on your skin goals, how your skin responds, and whether we are targeting specific concerns like scarring or laxity.
Can I Wear Makeup After the Facial?
After your facial, we advise keeping makeup to a minimum to allow your skin to heal and absorb post-treatment products. Light makeup may be used once your skin feels less sensitive, which usually takes a couple of days. We always recommend gentle, non-comedogenic formulas to avoid irritation during the recovery phase.
How Is Salmon DNA Different From PRP Microneedling?
Salmon DNA treatments use biomolecules derived from salmon to stimulate skin repair and rejuvenation. PRP microneedling uses your own blood components to achieve a similar goal of stimulating collagen production, resulting in a natural boost in skin health. Each treatment offers a different approach to skin regeneration, and we can discuss the specifics of your skin concerns during your consultation.
