Salmon DNA in Dubai
Polynucleotides extracted from salmon DNA, which is remarkably compatible with human skin. It does not fill or freeze — it repairs the tissue's own capacity to behave like younger skin.

Course of Three Sessions
2–4 weeks apart, cumulative results
In Short
Salmon DNA treatment, widely known by the brand name Rejuran, injects polynucleotides derived from purified salmon DNA into the skin. Polynucleotides are highly compatible with human tissue and work by supporting the skin's own repair processes rather than by adding volume. At Elora Polyclinic in Dubai it is used on the face, under-eyes, neck and scalp. A standard course is three sessions spaced two to four weeks apart.

Where It Is Used
Treatment Areas
FaceNeckDécolletageHandsBodyScalp
Salmon DNA is used on the face, the delicate under-eye area, the neck and the scalp. Different formulations exist for different areas — a lighter formulation for under-eyes, a standard one for general facial skin, and a scalp formulation used in hair programmes.

Your Salmon DNA Options
02
Under-Eye Formulation
A lighter formulation designed specifically for the thin, delicate skin beneath the eye, where it improves crepiness, fine lines and dark shadowing caused by thin skin rather than by pigment.
03
Neck and Scalp
The neck responds well because its thin skin repairs visibly. On the scalp, polynucleotides are used within hair programmes to improve the tissue environment around the follicle.

Candidacy
Is Salmon DNA Right for You?
Good candidate if
- Poor skin texture, enlarged pores or dull, tired-looking skin
- Fine crepiness under the eyes not suited to filler
- Skin damaged by sun exposure, acne scarring or over-treatment
- Wanting repair and quality improvement rather than volume
- Suitable for sensitive skin, given the low sensitivity profile
May not be right if
- Known fish or seafood allergy — this is an absolute contraindication
- Wanting volume, contour change or line-freezing
- Active skin infection or inflammatory skin disease at the site
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Unwilling to complete a course of three sessions
How Salmon DNA Is Performed, Step by Step
1
01
Assessment and Allergy Check
Skin quality is assessed and fish allergy is specifically excluded, since salmon-derived polynucleotides are contraindicated in seafood allergy.
2
02
Topical Anaesthetic
Applied for twenty to thirty minutes. Recommended here — the treatment uses many small superficial injections rather than a few deep ones.
3
03
Microinjection
Product is delivered in numerous small superficial injections across the treatment area, either by hand or with a mesotherapy device.
4
04
Post-Treatment Care
Small raised bumps are visible and settle over twelve to twenty-four hours. Avoid makeup, heat and exercise for the first day.
5
05
Course of Three Sessions
Spaced two to four weeks apart. Improvement is cumulative — the third session typically produces the clearest visible change.
6
06
Maintenance
A single session every six to nine months maintains the result once the initial course is complete.

What to consider
Salmon DNA is contraindicated if you have a fish or seafood allergy — this is an absolute exclusion and is checked at consultation. Treatment requires a course of three sessions, and results are cumulative rather than immediate. Small raised bumps at injection points are visible for twelve to twenty-four hours, and mild bruising can occur, particularly under the eyes. It improves skin quality and will not add volume or change contour.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Salmon DNA the same as Rejuran?
Rejuran is the best-known brand of polynucleotide treatment, and 'salmon DNA' is the common name for the category. They refer to the same class of treatment — purified polynucleotides derived from salmon DNA.
Can I have it if I'm allergic to fish?
No. A fish or seafood allergy is an absolute contraindication because the polynucleotides are salmon-derived. We check this specifically at consultation, and alternatives such as PRP — which uses your own blood — are available instead.
Does it work for under-eye dark circles?
It helps where the darkness comes from thin, crepey skin allowing underlying structures to show through, which is a common cause. It will not change darkness caused by pigmentation in the skin itself, and your practitioner will identify which type you have.
How many sessions will I need?
A standard course is three, spaced two to four weeks apart. Results are cumulative, and a single session will not give you the full benefit. Maintenance is typically one session every six to nine months afterwards.
Is it painful?
The treatment involves many small superficial injections, so topical anaesthetic is recommended rather than optional. With numbing, most patients find it very manageable.
Can it be used on the scalp?
Yes. Polynucleotides are used within hair programmes to improve the tissue environment around the follicle, often alongside PRP. It is a supportive treatment rather than a standalone hair loss cure.
Where can I get Salmon DNA skin boosters in Dubai?
Salmon DNA skin boosters are available at Elora Aesthetics Polyclinic on Al Wasl Road in Dubai — minutes from Jumeirah and City Walk. Treatment is doctor-led and starts with a consultation to confirm the protocol and number of sessions for your skin.
