Okay so I got injected. With fish DNA. And my skin has never been more hydrated. That’s the whole story but let me back up.
I’ve spent $800 on hyaluronic acid serums that evaporate by noon. This is different — it’s not a topical, it’s a treatment that works from the inside out. Three weeks in and my foundation doesn’t cling to dry patches anymore. That’s never happened. Ever.
It’s a skin booster — basically a super-hydrating cocktail injected into your dermis. Runs about $300-400 per session in NYC. The claim that got me: “hydrates from within for 3+ months.” I called bullshit. Then I tried it.
PN (Polynucleotide)
Repairs damaged skin barrier — not just hydrates, actually fixes the thing that’s broken
Multi-depth injection
Different needle depths mean it works on surface texture AND deep dehydration
Bio-stimulation
Tells your skin to produce its own moisture — not a temporary band-aid

This is where it gets weird-good. The star is polynucleotide — derived from salmon DNA. Sounds gross, works like a dream. It’s anti-inflammatory AND hydrating, which is rare. Your skin doesn’t just drink it, it uses it to rebuild.
- Polynucleotide: Repairs damaged cells and triggers natural moisture production
- Hyaluronic acid: The classic hydrator, but delivered directly into skin layers
- Amino acids: Building blocks for collagen and elastin — plumpness support
- Lidocaine: Mixed in for comfort — you won’t feel a thing

Day 1-2: Slightly swollen, tiny injection bumps — you look like you got stung by bees. Day 5: The bumps settle and you’re just… glowy. Not greasy-glowy, lit-from-within glowy. By week 2, I forgot I had dry skin. That’s the benchmark.
The surprise? It helped my redness too. I wasn’t expecting that — my cheeks are usually pink 24/7. Now they’re just… normal.

My fine lines around the eyes? Still there. My dry patches? Gone. The texture on my cheeks went from sandpaper to smooth. It didn’t fix everything, but it fixed the thing I hated most.

If you’re dry and tired of fighting it, just go. It’s the closest thing to a skin reset I’ve found. I’m getting my second session next month and I can’t shut up about it.
