Then your skin may look and feel different right after the treatment. Small bumps, redness or mild swelling, for example, are not unusual after a polynucleotide treatment.<\/p>\n<p>But what exactly can you expect after a salmon DNA treatment? And how do you care for your skin in the first few days? In this article, we explain how recovery usually goes and what to keep in mind.<\/p>\n<h2>What can you expect after a salmon DNA treatment?<\/h2>\n<p>A salmon DNA treatment, also known as a <a href=\"https:\/\/amsterdamskinclinic.nl\/en\/skinboosters\/polynucleotides-salmon-dna\/\">polynucleotide treatment<\/a>, is administered through small injections into the skin. As a result, the skin may be slightly sensitive, red or swollen right after the treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Your skin may temporarily look a little irritated. This doesn&#8217;t mean anything is going wrong: the skin simply needs time to settle.<\/p>\n<p>Common reactions right after the treatment include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Small bumps at the injection sites<\/li>\n<li>Mild redness<\/li>\n<li>Mild swelling<\/li>\n<li>Sensitive or tight-feeling skin<\/li>\n<li>Small bruises<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>How strongly your skin reacts differs per person and depends, among other things, on the treated area.<\/p>\n<h2>The first hours after the treatment<\/h2>\n<p>Right after a salmon DNA treatment, the skin may be a little red and sensitive. Small raised spots may also be visible where the product was injected.<\/p>\n<p>Try to leave your skin alone as much as possible at this stage. Don&#8217;t rub or massage the treated area and touch your face as little as possible.<\/p>\n<p>You can usually resume your daily activities, but it&#8217;s wise not to put unnecessary extra strain on your skin.<\/p>\n<h2>What can and can&#8217;t you do after a salmon DNA treatment?<\/h2>\n<p>Good aftercare helps your skin recover calmly.<\/p>\n<h3>What you can do<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Use mild skincare that your skin tolerates well.<\/li>\n<li>Keep your skin clean.<\/li>\n<li>Drink plenty of water.<\/li>\n<li>Use a good SPF during the day.<\/li>\n<li>Follow the personal aftercare instructions you received during your treatment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What is best to avoid for a while<\/h3>\n<p>In the first period after the treatment, it&#8217;s wise to temporarily avoid activities and products that strongly stimulate your skin. Think of intensive exercise, saunas and other treatments that significantly heat or stimulate the skin.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have you received specific aftercare instructions from our specialist? Always follow those over the general information on this page.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>How long do bumps stay visible after salmon DNA?<\/h2>\n<p>Small bumps at the injection sites may be visible right after a salmon DNA treatment. They appear because the product is placed superficially in the skin.<\/p>\n<p>For most people, these fade on their own as the skin settles. Exactly how long this takes differs per person and per treated area.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s therefore not necessary to massage the skin yourself or press the bumps away, unless your practitioner has specifically advised you to.<\/p>\n<h2>When does your skin settle down?<\/h2>\n<p>The first few days are mainly about recovery. Redness, sensitivity and any swelling usually decrease gradually.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s normal not to see the final effect of a <strong>polynucleotide treatment<\/strong> straight away. Polynucleotides aim to improve the skin and support processes in the skin that take time.<\/p>\n<p>So give your skin time to recover and don&#8217;t expect to see the result immediately after the treatment.<\/p>\n<h2>When will you see results after a salmon DNA treatment?<\/h2>\n<p>The result of a salmon DNA treatment builds up gradually. The treatment aims to improve skin quality, such as hydration, firmness and a healthier appearance.<\/p>\n<p>Exactly when you start to see results differs per person. The number of treatments also plays a role.<\/p>\n<p>Want to know more about how it works and the expected result?
