Transform Your Skin with the
Glass Glow Salmon Sperm Facial in San Antonio
The latest anti-aging treatment making headlines with celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Aniston is now available at Jules Aesthetics & Wellness in Shavano Park. The Glass Glow Salmon Sperm Facial uses PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide), a powerful DNA-based molecule derived from salmon, to deeply rejuvenate your skin from within. This innovative treatment stimulates collagen production, provides intense hydration, and creates the ideal environment for cellular regeneration—delivering both an immediate glow and long-term skin transformation.
Located in Shavano Park and serving the greater San Antonio area, our medical aestheticians offer customized PDRN treatments designed to address your specific skin concerns and goals.
What Is a Salmon Sperm Facial?
A salmon sperm facial is a regenerative skin treatment that uses polynucleotides—specialized molecules derived from salmon DNA—to stimulate cellular repair and skin rejuvenation. These polynucleotides, also known as PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide), are the fundamental building blocks of DNA and RNA that our cells use to create new, healthy tissue. When applied to the skin through advanced techniques like microneedling or dermaplaning, PDRN deeply hydrates, stimulates fibroblast activity, reduces inflammation, and promotes collagen production for firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
Rest assured, no salmon sperm is directly injected or applied to your face during treatment! The DNA used to create polynucleotides was originally sourced from salmon or trout sperm. In the process, the cell nucleus is carefully removed, the DNA is precisely extracted, and then utilized to manufacture the polynucleotides. Although the final product does not contain whole fish or sperm cells, it is biochemically derived from them, which means it may not be appropriate for individuals who follow a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle, or for those who have a fish allergy.
How Do Polynucleotides Work?
Polynucleotides work at the cellular level to trigger your skin's natural regeneration processes. Here's how PDRN transforms your complexion:
Immediate Hydration & Glow
Similar to popular treatments like Profhilo and Seventy-Hyal, polynucleotides instantly hydrate the skin, creating a fresh, dewy appearance with natural, soft volume. Your skin looks plumper and more radiant right away.
Deep Cellular Regeneration
Beyond surface hydration, PDRN actively stimulates fibroblast production—the specialized cells responsible for maintaining your skin's structure and elasticity. By providing these cells with essential building blocks, polynucleotides improve their function and enhance your skin's ability to repair itself.
Multi-Level Skin Benefits
Polynucleotides trigger essential tissue repair processes, reduce inflammation throughout the skin, regulate melanogenesis to balance pigmentation, and support ongoing hydration. Working at the cellular level, they promote regeneration that improves overall texture, minimizes the appearance of pores, and gradually reduces pigmentation irregularities over time.
Antioxidant Protection
PDRN acts as a powerful antioxidant, protecting your skin against environmental damage and oxidative stress that accelerates aging.
Research has demonstrated that salmon DNA shares remarkable similarities with human DNA, making it highly biocompatible and well-tolerated by the skin. This biocompatibility allows PDRN to integrate seamlessly with your body's natural processes without triggering adverse reactions.

Those with active skin infections or inflammation: Treatment should be postponed until the skin has healed
Pregnant or nursing women: We recommend waiting until after pregnancy and breastfeeding
Those with chronic inflammatory skin conditions: Such as active rosacea or eczema flares
Our experienced Medical Aestheticians will conduct a thorough consultation to determine if the salmon sperm facial is right for you and recommend alternative treatments if needed.
Is the Salmon Sperm Facial Safe?
Safety Profile
Clinical evidence demonstrates that properly administered PDRN treatments are safe and well-tolerated for most individuals. The salmon DNA undergoes rigorous purification processes to remove proteins and cellular components that could trigger adverse reactions, leaving only the beneficial polynucleotides.
FDA Status & Professional Standards
It's important to note that injectable PDRN treatments are not currently FDA-approved in the United States. However, topical application combined with microneedling or other delivery methods is widely practiced in medical aesthetic settings. At Jules Aesthetics & Wellness, we use only premium, medical-grade PDRN products and adhere to the highest safety and sanitation standards.

How Does the Salmon Sperm Facial Compare to Other Treatments?
Understanding how PDRN treatment differs from other popular aesthetic procedures helps you choose the right option for your goals:
PDRN vs. Botox
Botox is a neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes muscles to reduce dynamic wrinkles (lines caused by facial expressions). The salmon sperm facial works differently—it stimulates cellular regeneration, collagen production, and hydration at the skin level itself. While Botox addresses muscle movement, PDRN addresses skin quality, texture, and overall health. These treatments are complementary and can be combined for comprehensive rejuvenation.
PDRN vs. Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers add volume by filling in wrinkles, folds, or hollow areas with substances like hyaluronic acid. PDRN doesn't add external volume; instead, it stimulates your skin to produce its own collagen and improve from within. The result is natural improvement in skin quality rather than added fullness. PDRN can be an excellent complement to filler treatments.
PDRN vs. Profhilo
Both PDRN and Profhilo provide bio-remodeling effects and deep hydration. While Profhilo focuses primarily on stabilized hyaluronic acid for hydration and collagen stimulation, PDRN works through DNA-based cellular regeneration with additional anti-inflammatory and tissue repair properties. Some clients benefit from combining both treatments.
PDRN vs. Microneedling Alone
Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries to stimulate collagen production. When combined with PDRN serum infusion, the treatment penetrates deeper and provides additional regenerative, anti-inflammatory, and hydrating benefits that microneedling alone cannot achieve.
Why Choose PDRN Treatment?
The Glass Glow Salmon Sperm Facial is ideal when you want:
Natural, cellular-level regeneration
Both immediate glow and long-term improvement
Treatment without muscle relaxation or volume addition
Enhanced healing and recovery
Comprehensive skin quality improvement
A treatment that works with your body's natural processes
Frequently Asked Questions About Salmon Sperm Facials
How much does a salmon sperm facial cost?
Pricing for the Glass Glow Salmon Sperm Facial varies based on the specific treatment approach and any additional enhancements you choose. During your consultation, we'll discuss your skin goals and provide transparent pricing for your customized treatment plan. We recommend booking a complimentary consultation to receive accurate pricing information tailored to your needs.
Does the salmon sperm facial really work?
Yes, clinical research supports the effectiveness of PDRN treatments for skin rejuvenation. Studies have demonstrated that polynucleotides stimulate fibroblast activity, promote collagen production, improve skin elasticity and hydration, and provide anti-inflammatory benefits. Most clients notice visible improvements in skin quality, texture, and radiance within 2-4 weeks, with optimal results developing over three months. Individual results vary based on skin condition, age, lifestyle factors, and treatment consistency.
How long do salmon sperm facial results last?
The immediate glow and hydration effects are noticeable right away and continue improving for several weeks. The full bio-remodeling benefits develop over 2-3 months as cellular regeneration progresses. Results typically last 4-6 months, after which maintenance treatments help preserve your improvements. For sustained, long-term benefits, we recommend a series of initial treatments followed by periodic maintenance sessions.
What are the side effects of a salmon sperm facial?
Side effects are minimal and temporary. Most clients experience mild redness for a few hours to one day after treatment, along with possible slight sensitivity or a warming sensation. Some may notice very minor swelling, which resolves quickly. Serious complications are extremely rare when treatment is performed by qualified professionals. Individuals with fish allergies should exercise caution and discuss concerns during consultation.
Is the salmon sperm facial FDA approved?
Injectable PDRN treatments are not currently FDA-approved in the United States. However, the topical application of PDRN combined with advanced delivery methods like microneedling is widely practiced in professional medical aesthetic settings. The PDRN used in our treatments is medical-grade and has been extensively studied for safety and efficacy in clinical research.
Can you get a salmon sperm facial if you're vegetarian or vegan?
Since PDRN is derived from salmon DNA, it may not align with strict vegan or vegetarian principles. While the final product doesn't contain whole fish or sperm cells—only purified DNA fragments—it is biochemically derived from animal sources. We recommend discussing your dietary philosophy during consultation, and our team can suggest alternative treatments that align with your values.
How is the treatment performed?
Your Glass Glow Salmon Sperm Facial can be customized using several application methods. The PDRN serum may be applied topically after dermaplaning for gentle exfoliation and enhanced absorption, infused through microneedling for deeper penetration, or combined with other modalities based on your skin's needs. Your Medical Aesthetician will recommend the optimal approach during your consultation.
Is the treatment painful?
Most clients find the treatment comfortable. If you choose the microneedling option, a topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to minimize any discomfort. The dermaplaning method is painless and relaxing. Any mild sensation during treatment is brief and well-tolerated. After treatment, you may experience a slight warming or tingling sensation, similar to mild sunburn, which resolves quickly.
When can I see results from my salmon sperm facial?
You'll notice an immediate glow and hydration boost right after your treatment. Over the following 2-4 weeks, you'll see improvements in skin texture, tone, and overall quality. The most dramatic and lasting results appear around the 3-month mark as cellular regeneration continues. With a series of treatments, results build progressively for increasingly noticeable improvement.
Can I combine the salmon sperm facial with other treatments?
Absolutely. The Glass Glow Salmon Sperm Facial works beautifully with other aesthetic treatments. It can be combined with Botox, dermal fillers, chemical peels, and laser treatments. PDRN is also exceptional for post-procedure healing, helping your skin recover faster after more intensive treatments. During your consultation, we'll discuss the best treatment combination for your specific goals.
How many treatments do I need?
For optimal results, we typically recommend a series of 3-4 treatments spaced 3-4 weeks apart. This allows your skin to build progressive improvement as cellular regeneration continues. After completing your initial series, maintenance treatments every 4-6 months help preserve your results long-term. Your Medical Aesthetician will create a personalized treatment plan based on your skin condition and goals.
What should I do before my treatment?
We'll provide detailed pre-treatment instructions during your consultation. Generally, you should arrive with clean skin free of makeup. Avoid active skincare ingredients (retinol, acids, vitamin C) for 3-5 days before treatment. Stay well-hydrated in the days leading up to your appointment. Avoid sun exposure and tanning. If you have any skin infections or active breakouts, let us know so we can reschedule if needed.
