What are salmon sperm (salmon DNA) injections?
"Salmon sperm injection" is the popular name for skin boosters made from DNA fragments purified from salmon. The active ingredients are called PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) or PN (polynucleotides). The most widely known brand in Korea is Rejuran, and similar products are often described simply as PDRN injections. Despite the name, the product does not contain sperm cells: it is a highly purified, sterile ingredient made for medical use and has been used in Korean dermatology for many years.
The product is placed into the skin with many tiny injections or a fine cannula. It is thought to support the skin's own repair processes, improving hydration, elasticity and texture over the following weeks rather than adding volume. That is why the change is gradual and natural-looking, and why doctors usually recommend a short course for the most noticeable effect.
Who is a good candidate?
- Dull, tired or dehydrated skin
- Fine lines and early loss of elasticity
- Enlarged pores or rough texture
- Thin, sensitive skin or skin recovering after lasers
- Mild acne scarring alongside other treatments
Salmon DNA boosters are not suitable if you have a fish or salmon allergy, an active skin infection or inflamed acne in the area, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Tell the doctor about any blood-thinning medication, as it can increase bruising. At consultation the doctor may suggest combining boosters with laser toning or a different skin booster depending on your goals.

Before & after at Egg Clinic

What are the results and recovery like?
Right after treatment you may see small raised bumps at the injection points, slight redness and occasionally pinpoint bruises. These usually settle within one to two days, and most people return to normal activities the same day. Skin often looks more hydrated within the first week, while improvements in texture and elasticity build over two to four weeks. Results vary with age and skin condition, and maintenance sessions every few months help keep the effect.
How the treatment works
-
Consultation
The doctor examines your skin, discusses your goals and checks for allergies or medications before choosing the product.
-
Numbing
Your face is cleansed and numbing cream is applied for about 30 minutes to keep you comfortable.
-
Injection
The booster is placed into the skin with fine needles or a cannula, usually taking 20–30 minutes.
-
Aftercare
Avoid makeup for the rest of the day, and skip saunas, alcohol and facial massage for a few days. Use sunscreen daily.
Tips for international patients
- Send us photos on WhatsApp before your trip so the doctor can suggest how many sessions fit your stay.
- If you can stay two to four weeks, book the first session early so a second one fits before you fly home.
- Plan treatment at least a day before important photos or events, as small bumps can be visible at first.
- Mention any fish allergy at booking so the doctor can recommend an alternative booster.

Results typically last several months, depending on your skin and how many sessions you have. Many people repeat a maintenance session every three to six months.
