Why Everyone in St. Petersburg Is Talking About Salmon DNA Skincare

There is a reason

Salmon DNA has gone from a niche K-beauty secret to one of the most searched skincare ingredients of the last two years. It delivers noticeable improvements in skin vitality and glow. At Imagine You New in St. Petersburg, Florida, we have incorporated PDRN into our facial treatments because it supports the kind of visible skin improvements our clients are looking for — smoother texture, improved luminosity, and skin that simply looks more refreshed.

Here is everything you need to know about what Salmon DNA actually is, how it works on your skin, and why a boutique PDRN facial at Imagine You New is one of the most intelligent investments you can make in your complexion right now.

What Is Salmon DNA Skincare? (PDRN Explained)

Salmon DNA skincare refers to products and treatments that use an ingredient called PDRN — Polydeoxyribonucleotide — which is derived from salmon. PDRN consists of naturally occurring DNA fragments that are processed into a biocompatible form suitable for topical skincare application.

Salmon is used because its DNA structure is highly compatible with human skin, meaning the skin tends to respond well to it. Rather than sitting only on the surface, it supports the skin’s natural moisture balance and vitality, making it one of the more sophisticated ingredients available in cosmetic skincare today.

PDRN is also sometimes referred to as polynucleotides or PN, and you may see it listed on ingredient labels as Sodium DNA or Hydrolyzed Sodium DNA. All of these refer to the same family of salmon-derived DNA fragments that have become a cornerstone of advanced Korean skincare.

What Does PDRN Do for Your Skin?

PDRN supports skin vitality through its interaction with the skin’s natural processes. In cosmetic skincare, PDRN is used because it supports moisture retention, improves the appearance of skin resilience, and enhances overall skin vitality and glow.

When used topically in professional facial treatments, PDRN supports the appearance of skin renewal, helps improve hydration retention, and promotes smoother-looking skin over time. Clients who receive regular PDRN facials often notice that their skin looks healthier, more even, and more radiant — not because anything dramatic was done to it, but because the skin’s natural processes are being supported more effectively.

Visible benefits of PDRN in cosmetic skincare include:

• improved skin glow

• smoother skin appearance

• improved appearance of elasticity

• healthier-looking skin overall

Is Salmon DNA the Same as PDRN?

Yes — Salmon DNA, PDRN, and polynucleotides all refer to the same family of ingredients derived from salmon.

PDRN stands for Polydeoxyribonucleotide, the scientific name for purified DNA fragments extracted from salmon and used in skincare formulations. You may also see the abbreviation PN used — this refers to polynucleotides, closely related molecules in the same family.

Both PDRN and PN support skin hydration, resilience, and renewal appearance when used in cosmetic formulations. Salmon DNA became the popular consumer term as Korean beauty brands introduced these ingredients to a wider audience.

The PDRN Glow Facial at Imagine You New — How It Works

Our PDRN facial in St. Petersburg is a boutique, private treatment — not a conveyor-belt spa experience. Every session is customized to your skin on that day.

Step 1 — Cleanse

We begin with a thorough yet gentle cleanse to remove surface buildup, makeup, and environmental residue that may prevent active ingredients from reaching the skin effectively.

Step 2 — Enzyme or Acid Polish

A gentle enzymatic or mild acid polish supports surface renewal and refines skin texture, creating a smooth, receptive canvas for infusion. This step is adjusted based on your skin’s sensitivity level.

Step 3 — Extractions (If Appropriate)

If beneficial, careful extractions are performed. This step is optional and fully customized.

Step 4 — PDRN Ampoule Infusion

This is the heart of the treatment. A professional-grade PDRN ampoule — combined with supporting ingredients like hyaluronic acid, peptides, and niacinamide — is applied and worked into the skin. This step supports hydration, vitality, and smoother skin appearance.

Step 5 — Mask

A calming, barrier-supportive mask helps seal in hydration and support skin comfort. Options may include Centella Asiatica for calming, collagen sheet masks for hydration support, or peptide masks for smoothing.

Step 6 — LED Light Therapy

LED therapy may be incorporated to support overall skin appearance and complement the treatment experience.

Step 7 — Finish and SPF

We complete the treatment with a lightweight moisturizer and broad-spectrum SPF to support hydration and protect the skin.

Who Is the PDRN Facial For?

This facial is ideal for clients seeking visible skin improvement without aggressive treatments.

It is particularly well-suited for:

• skin that looks dull or depleted

• skin that feels dehydrated despite moisturizing

• loss of natural glow

• uneven-looking tone and texture

• proactive skin vitality support

• skin stressed by seasonal or environmental factors

Who It May Not Be For

Clients with active breakouts or inflamed skin should discuss timing prior to booking. Those with fish or salmon allergies should notify us before treatment. If you have had recent cosmetic procedures or use prescription retinoids, we will customize your protocol accordingly.

What Results Can You Expect and When?

One of the things clients love most about the PDRN facial is that improvements are both immediate and progressive.

Immediately after treatment, skin often appears more hydrated, brighter, and refreshed.

In the days following treatment, skin may continue to appear smoother and more even as hydration balance improves. Many clients notice improved makeup application and increased skin comfort.

With a series of treatments, cumulative improvements may include smoother texture appearance, more even tone, and skin that looks healthier and more resilient.

For maintenance, we typically recommend a PDRN facial once a month.

Aftercare — How to Protect Your Results

Keep it gentle. Skip retinoids, strong acids, and exfoliants for 48 hours.

Hydrate. Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer.

SPF daily. Sun exposure can diminish tone-evening benefits.

Avoid heavy sweating for 24 hours.
