Why Salmon DNA is Replacing Under-Eye Fillers: The End of the ‘Puffy’ MedSpa Look

Under-eye filler is one of the cosmetic treatments at the med spas and cosmetic clinics that have been on the most requested list for over a decade. These injectables fill in hollow tear troughs and minimize dark circles with fast and long-lasting effects and minimal side effects. In most cases, they were just what the patients wanted, at least at first.

However, with time, changes are necessary. Through the increase in social media and patient awareness, the number of discussions on overfilled faces and unnatural cosmetic outcomes also increased. The current aesthetic customers are better educated and more discriminating than ever. Rather than pursuing the so-called dramatic changes, most individuals are pursuing more natural rejuvenation that improves their features yet does not make them noticeable that they did it.

Salmon DNA skin treatment or polynucleotide (PN) therapy is one of the most thrilling innovations that has spearheaded this movement. This treatment is different from other injectables, where the body is given synthetics to stimulate its repairing mechanisms, in the process forcing the skin to regenerate, strengthen, and hydrate internally. Rather than concealing under-eye issues using fillers in the shape of gel, the salmon DNA aids the skin in repairing itself, producing a much more natural and aging appearance.

Under-Eye Fillers and How They Work?

Under-eye fillers are usually based on hyaluronic acid (HA), which is a natural substance that is present in the body and which attracts and holds moisture. Such fillers are also injected into the tear trough, which is the crevice between the lower eyelid and the cheek. These are primarily meant to correct some of the volume that has been lost, making people look fatigued.

How Under-Eye Fillers Work?

Hyaluronic acid fillers are in the form of a gel that lies under the skin. On injection below the eyes, they:

  • Add volume to hollow areas.
  • Even the transition of cheek and eyelid.
  • Minimise shadowing leading to dark circles.

Why Under-Eye Fillers Are Losing Popularity?

Under-eye fillers are not flawless, even though they are popular. The area around the tear trough is very sensitive, and the slightest filler may result in complications. They can cause:

  • Unnatural Volume and Puffiness: Persistent puffiness is one of the most prevalent complaints. Hyaluronic acid traps water; hence, the treated area may look swollen, most notably in the morning.
  • The Tyndall Effect: There is also the problem of the Tyndall effect, whereby filler that is placed too close to the skin surface results in a bluish effect.
  • Filler Migration: Filler may migrate out of the site of injection. This can produce disproportions or extra fullness.
  • Long-Term Dependency: Several patients repeat themselves in an attempt to get corrections, dissolve filler, or inject more to sustain their outcomes.

Due to these, aesthetic experts are increasingly seeking the use of treatments that not only replace space but also restore the skin in order to capture the interest of many aesthetic experts.

Polynucleotide DNA or Salmon Skin Treatment: A New Innovation in Regenerative Skin Care

The new category of regenerative aesthetic treatment is salmon DNA skin treatment. It does not add volume, but rather it is known to repair and rejuvenate skin on a cellular level.

It is a salmon-derived DNA-based treatment in which the highly purified fragments of DNA are used. These are biocompatible molecules that have been known to have strong regenerative abilities. Owing to this fact, it is commonly known as a salmon sperm facial or PDRN skin booster.

How Salmon DNA Stimulates Skin Regeneration?

Polynucleotides help skin to heal and rejuvenate by:

  • Activation of fibroblasts, also known as collagen-producing cells.
  • Improving skin hydration
  • Promoting tissue repair
  • Reducing inflammation
  • Enhancement of the skin barrier.

Instead of filling hollows, such treatment enhances the quality, the thickness, and the elasticity of the skin itself.

Application on the Under-Eye Area

The skin around the under-eye area is one of the thinnest in the body, and therefore, it is one of the most susceptible to fine lines, crepiness, and black circles.

This is effective with salmon DNA therapy since it:

  • Boosts tissue repair
  • Improves skin elasticity
  • Reduces fine lines
  • Enhances thin under-eye skin.
  • Improves moisturisation and softness.

The skin begins to thrive and strengthen with time.

Why Salmon DNA Is Replacing Under-Eye Fillers?

In the long run, patients and practitioners started to realize that under-eye fillers are not necessarily the solution-all-the-time, especially when applied repeatedly or on people with thin skin. These are some of the most frequently voiced issues regarding tear trough fillers.

1. Puffiness and Unnatural Volume

Persistent under-eye puffiness following filler injection is one of the greatest patient complaints.

Rather than alleviating fatigue, the region might look puffy or exaggeratedly smooth and look like the so-called “Puffy MedSpa” look that many individuals have developed.

2. Tyndall Effect (Bluish Tint)

There is also a possibility of another complication called the Tyndall effect, where the filler is too near the skin surface. The filler gel beneath the eyes is very thin, and therefore, light may reflect off the filler gel, resulting in a bluish or gray discoloration. This may only serve to make dark circles more negative.

3. Filler Migration

In contrast to the treatment methods that boost natural skin healing, fillers are the physical agents that are deposited under the skin. With time, the filler can no longer be in the same position. This migration, which is referred to as filler migration, may result in:

  • Uneven contours
  • Puffy under-eyes
  • Bulges beneath the eyelid

There are instances where migrated filler has to be dissolved, and new treatment has to be done.

4. Long-Term Filler Dependency 

The other disadvantage with tear trough fillers is that they tend to be involved in a routine of maintenance procedures. Due to the progressive degradation of fillers, patients will tend to repeat the injections every year or so. Long-term side effects of repeated therapy are:

  • Product buildup
  • Increased puffiness
  • Problem with a natural appearance.

This has made several aesthetic providers reconsider the fact that adding more filler is indeed the optimal solution to the delicate under-eye skin.

Why Under-eye Fillers are Being Replaced by Salmon DNA Treatment?

These are the main reasons as to why the traditional fillers are soon being substituted by the polynucleotide under-eye treatments.

1. It Repairs Skin Instead of Adding Volume

The traditional fillers are effective because they add volume under the skin. Although this may help in the short run to alleviate the hollows, it does not help in the underlying causes that make the eyes look tired in the first place.

The under-eye issues have several causes, which relate to:

  • Thinning skin
  • Loss of collagen
  • Reduced elasticity

Whereas Salmon DNA skin treatment is different. Polynucleotides activate the natural healing mechanisms in the body, motivating the skin to:

  • Produce more collagen
  • Strengthen tissue
  • Improve hydration
  • Repair damaged cells

2. More Natural Results

The salmon DNA therapy offers one of the greatest benefits, namely that the outcomes appear natural and subtle. The under-eye area looks:

  • Brighter
  • Smoother
  • Healthier

Clients simply appear as they were before- only fresher.

3. Lower Risk of Puffiness or Lumps

The under-eye area is very sensitive, and filler may occasionally produce the undesirable side effects of puffiness, discrepancy, or lumping. Since hyaluronic acid fillers are water-attractive, they tend to swell with time, especially in a patient who is already predisposed to water retention around the eyes. This will greatly eliminate the risk of:

  • Filler migration
  • Persistent puffiness
  • Lumps below the thin skin.

4. Improves Skin Quality Over Time

The other reason the salmon DNA therapy is becoming popular is the fact that it yields long-term effects on the skin. Although fillers give immediate volume, the effects wear off as the body dissolves the hyaluronic acid gel.

Treatments involving polynucleotides are different. They cause the activation of biological processes that go on to make the skin better and better, even several weeks or months later, with the treatment.

Patients usually can report improvements in:

  • Skin thickness
  • Hydration levels
  • Elasticity
  • Smoothness

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is salmon DNA better than Botox?

The salmon DNA can regenerate the skin by enhancing the collagen, elasticity, and hydration, and Botox is mainly used to relax the muscles in order to avoid wrinkles. They are used in various ways and may even come together to give oneself a clean and fresh look.

  • Is salmon DNA better than microneedling?

Microneedling activates collagen by producing micro-sized skin wounds, and salmon DNA transports polynucleotides to repair and strengthen the skin. Salmon DNA is softer and can be used on sensitive parts such as the under-eyes.

  • How often should I get salmon DNA?

The majority of patients can use 3-4 sessions separated by 3-4 weeks, and additional maintenance sessions a few times per year can help patients maintain the health of their skin and keep it hydrated in the long run.
