At Hayes Valley Medical Esthetics, advanced skin rejuvenation is grounded in clinical expertise and refined technique. Founded by Linda Behla, RN, who brings more than 20 years of experience in medical aesthetics, and operating under the medical supervision of board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Yngvar A. Hvistendahl, HVME is known for results that look healthy, balanced, and natural. The Salmon DNA Facial reflects that standard.

The treatment combines SkinPen® Microneedling with Rejuran® Bioregenerators, sometimes referred to as a Salmon Sperm Facial add-on, to deliver purified salmon DNA, also called hydrolyzed DNA (PN/PDRN), into the skin’s micro-channels. This process enhances collagen stimulation and improves both skin texture and tone while requiring minimal downtime. In this blog, we explain how the treatment works and why patients across San Francisco are adding it to their skincare plans.

What Is the Salmon DNA Facial?

The Salmon DNA Facial is a regenerative skin treatment that pairs SkinPen® microneedling with Rejuran® bioregenerators. SkinPen® creates controlled micro-channels in the skin, allowing beneficial ingredients to penetrate more effectively.

When Rejuran® is applied during the treatment, purified salmon DNA enters these channels and supports the skin’s natural renewal process. This bioregenerative approach encourages collagen stimulation and improves overall skin quality, helping the complexion appear smoother, brighter, and more balanced over time.

Key Benefits of the Salmon DNA Facial

Safe for all skin types, this non-surgical treatment involves minimal discomfort and downtime. Many patients choose it because it improves overall skin quality while fitting easily into a busy lifestyle.

  • Enhanced collagen and elastin production: Supports firmer, more resilient skin.
  • Improved texture, hydration, and elasticity: Helps refine roughness while improving overall skin suppleness.
  • Faster healing and reduced redness: Supports the skin’s natural recovery response following microneedling.
  • Minimal downtime and non-surgical application: Most patients return to normal activities quickly.

With a customized treatment plan, the skin often appears clearer, smoother, and more luminous.
