Salmon DNA (Polynucleotide)

It is not a filler used to add volume; it is a treatment aimed at skin quality. The volume effect expected from a filler should not be expected here.

The product is salmon-derived. It is not advised for people with a fish allergy, and you must tell us your history: the assessment cannot be made without it.

The effect is not immediate; changes in skin quality are assessed gradually across the course of sessions. The timescale depends on the condition of your skin.

It is not permanent and may need repeating at intervals. The interval is set at follow-up according to how the skin responds.

Temporary redness, mild swelling, itching or small bruises at the injection points, usually short-lived. Contact the clinic if you notice an unexpected reaction.

It is not applied to people with a fish allergy, where there is active infection or an active cold sore at the site, or during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Tell us about any chronic illness before assessment.

Medicines and supplements that thin the blood — aspirin, ibuprofen-type painkillers, vitamin E, omega-3 — make bruising more likely. Tell us before your appointment if you take any; whether and when to pause them is your doctor's decision. Never stop a prescribed medicine on your own. If you have a history of cold sores, say so: an injection can trigger one.

Very fine needles are used, and a topical anaesthetic cream is applied beforehand where it helps. Most people describe a mild sting. Pain thresholds differ, so if you are uncomfortable during the procedure just say so — it can be paused and more can be done.

Aesthetic injections are not advised during pregnancy or breastfeeding. There is not enough safety data for these periods, so they are avoided. Tell us beforehand if you are or might be pregnant, or are breastfeeding.

The assessment, the planning and the injection are all carried out by Dr. Burak Gümüşçü. What will be done, why, and what the alternatives are is explained before anything begins.

Only licensed, single-use, sterile products. If you would like to know the name and contents of the product being used, that is shared at the consultation, and the packaging is opened in front of you.

Türkiye's health advertising rules prohibit clinics from publishing prices or promotional offers. Beyond that, the amount used and the number of sessions vary from person to person, so a single figure would be misleading. Your own figure is given directly after the consultation.

Some treatments can be planned together in one session; others need to be spaced apart. That is decided after the face is assessed as a whole — the aim is to get the order right, not to add procedures.
