YOGYAKARTA - Injecting salmon DNA has recently become a prima donna in the world of beauty and is predicted to be able to rejuvenate the skin and overcome various aging problems.

So it's no wonder that many aesthetic clinics offer it as an instant solution for youthful skin. However, behind the popularity and sweet promises, do you know the dangers of injecting salmon DNA that are rarely known?

This article will thoroughly explore what risks and hidden side effects may result from trying this beauty procedure. Let's take a deeper look so that you don't get the wrong step!

Dr. Gizem Seymenoglu, a facial aesthetic doctor in Longevita, London, England, explained that in order to benefit from polynucleotides, salmon DNA will be combined into a polymerized injection gel, and once injected, this gel binds water molecules, effectively tightening and hydrating the skin.

As a result of this procedure, it is claimed to be able to reduce wrinkles, disguise scars and brown spots, tighten pores, and minimize stretch marks.

Although this treatment has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Seymenoglu stated that this treatment has had a record of extraordinary security for more than a decade.

Seymenoglu added that he injects his own polynucleotide under his eyes every four months and always recommends it to his patients.

However, other doctors did not recommend it. For example, dermatologist Dr. Hadley King of Dr. Hadley King Dermatology in Manhattan, New York City, said:

"I don't think I'm going to try or recommend this at this time, because the efficacy or safety of polynucleotide injections hasn't been established with data from a well-designed study at this time, and they haven't been approved by the FDA yet."

King added that hyaluronic acid is often used as another major ingredient, in addition to polynucleotides.

"I suspect that hyaluronic acid is responsible for the visible results, and this is nothing new." he explained.

dermatologist Dr. Kristina Collins, from Harvard, said that she is also approaching this salmon DNA injection trend carefully and describes it as "experimental."

"Personally, I will not undergo salmon sperm facial treatment without seeing more peer-reviewed studies that support its safety and efficacy," Collins said.

Collins prefers to rely on ingredients with proven track records of benefits for skin health. He also added that there is insufficient scientific evidence to support claims for skin regeneration and hydration related to this treatment, and also said that he would not recommend it to patients.

In addition, Collins also mentioned that there is potential risk from this method including allergic reactions, irritation, and skin sensitivity.

However, Dr. Jimmy Sung, a plastic surgeon and medical director at Tribeca Aesthetics in New York, said different things.

"This very pure long chain polynucleotide has been used in South Korea with a strong safety profile and high patient satisfaction."

Interestingly, Sung said that he offered a version of the non-injection facial treatment at his clinic, and described it as a safe method. However, Sung explained that he would not perform injection treatment without FDA approval.
