Skin & Regeneration · Salmon DNA
Polynucleotides are used to support skin structure and hydration. If fine lines or dry, sensitive skin are a concern for you, I will discuss the possibilities and limitations with you. This treatment cannot replace substantial volume restoration or a surgical lift.
Your assessment and the scope of treatment determine your individual treatment journey.

Understanding what changes
Polynucleotides are processed chains of DNA building blocks. In suitable formulations, they are intended to bind water and support the tissue environment. Composition, origin and application vary; I will discuss the specific product with you.
Distinguishing between dryness, fine lines, pigmentation and volume loss.
Taking the area, tolerability and product guidelines into account.
Assessing progress before deciding on further treatments.
The terms ‘salmon DNA’ or, colloquially, ‘salmon sperm treatment’ are simplified descriptions of the origin of some products. No unprocessed source material is injected. Nevertheless, known fish allergies and other intolerances must be specifically discussed and assessed in relation to the product.
Research to date suggests improvements in certain skin characteristics, but is limited by small studies and differing treatment protocols. I therefore do not promise a specific rejuvenating effect or the removal of all dark circles. We agree on a clear goal and review your progress.
Putting subtle changes into perspective The treatment focuses on skin quality. Initial changes may appear after a few weeks; for some people, the effect remains small. A course or maintenance treatment is continued only where there is a demonstrable benefit.
Fine lines, a deep tear trough, pigmentation and protruding fat are different findings. Polynucleotides do not remove under-eye bags. Where swelling is visible, an additional injection is not automatically advisable.
Well-tolerated skincare and suitable UV protection are part of long-term skin health. Injections do not replace these foundations. Other procedures are timed appropriately so that effects and unwanted reactions can still be assessed.
Is this right for me?
Your wishes are the starting point. I assess whether the findings, your health and the expected benefit align.
Fine lines and declining skin quality, where there is an appropriate indication for treatment
Significant excess skin, under-eye bags or substantial volume loss
Different causes need different solutions. Sometimes, choosing not to have a procedure is the right decision.

Explore the optionsTreatment using your own blood, with different requirements.
Explore the optionsNot every wrinkle under the eye needs filler. Thin, dry or sun-damaged skin, muscle movement and excess tissue require different approaches. For fine lines on the lower eyelid, skin quality and skincare may be the priority; adding volume is only an option where a separate, appropriate finding supports it.
Understand the concern in more detailYour treatment journey
I ask about allergies, existing medical conditions and previous injections, and examine the planned treatment areas.
After preparation, the product is administered using a technique suited to the product and area.
We assess your progress and decide on further appointments or a different approach.
Before you leave, we agree on how you can contact me directly for aftercare. General enquiries: team@dottore.caletti.de.
Returning to everyday life
Small raised bumps, redness, swelling or bruising may occur and can be particularly visible around the eyes.
Changes in hydration or fine lines are reviewed after allowing some time.
Further planning depends on your response; a fixed duration of effect has not been established.
These timeframes are a guide, not a firm promise. Your individual progress may vary.
Speaking openly about risks
Even an outpatient treatment can have unwanted consequences. Your individual risks, an appropriate indication and an achievable goal all form part of the decision.
Severe or increasing pain, unusually pale or blotchy skin, or visual disturbances require immediate medical attention. If you experience visual disturbances or acute severe symptoms, call 112. Have persistent swelling or signs of inflammation checked promptly.
Understand the costs and take time to decide
Costs depend on the product, treatment area and planned course. You will receive a breakdown before treatment begins. Following an examination and discussion, you will receive a personal cost plan.
Starting price

The agreed services are recorded in your personal cost plan.
The eye area, face and neck have different requirements.
The product and quantity required are determined.
Plan a single session, multiple appointments and later maintenance treatments separately.
We record which services are included in the total in your individual quotation.
A course of treatment or later maintenance treatment is not automatically included in the price of one session. Any additional diagnostic tests or corrections are also discussed separately. Please clarify any possible reimbursement with your insurer before treatment begins; aesthetic services are usually self-funded.
An examination and shared planning make the costs clear. You will receive your personal cost plan before deciding whether to proceed with treatment.

A website can offer guidance. We will discuss your personal situation during your medical consultation.
Ask your questionThe term refers to the origin of certain products. In medical terms, these are purified, processed chains of DNA building blocks. What matters is the specific product used.
There is clinical evidence suggesting improvements in certain skin characteristics. Small studies and variations in products and protocols limit what can be predicted for an individual.
That depends on the cause. Pigmentation, blood vessels, loss of volume and under-eye bags each require different considerations. This treatment cannot be expected to reliably remove all dark circles.
A course of two to four appointments is often planned. Product guidelines, your skin assessment and your response determine the number and spacing of sessions.
Please let me know in advance. I will check the origin and product information; depending on the risk, the product may not be suitable.
