Can Salmon Sperm Injections Really Help Dark Circles?

Michele King from Portstewart Family Dental explains the truth behind the latest skincare trend – polynucleotides – and how this collagen-boosting injectable could rejuvenate tired eyes and dull skin.
This month, I’m excited to introduce a brand-new treatment in facial aesthetics now available at Portstewart Family Dental.
It’s the one everyone’s talking about — polynucleotides (yes, the so-called “salmon sperm injections”) — and even Jennifer Aniston is a fan.
At 55, Jennifer looks sensational with glowing, smooth skin, and this innovative treatment has been credited as one of her go-to favourites.
What Are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are naturally occurring molecules that work to repair and rejuvenate the skin from within.
When injected as a clear water-light solution, they help improve hydration, elasticity and texture, while also stimulating collagen and elastin.
They’re used to:
- Hydrate and revitalise the skin
- Treat dark under-eye circles and fine lines
- Rejuvenate scars
- Improve overall texture and glow
Where Can It Help?
Polynucleotides are often described as the “gold standard” for overall skin rejuvenation.
They can be used around the eyes to reduce dark circles and puffiness, smooth fine lines on the forehead and cheeks, soften smokers’ lines around the mouth and chin, and tighten skin along the jawline and neck.
Polynucleotides vs Tear-Trough Filler
If your main concern is hollowing beneath the eyes, traditional filler may still be the better option.
But if you struggle with fine lines, creepy skin or dark circles — especially if you’re prone to puffiness — polynucleotides can be a gentler, more natural alternative.
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, which physically add volume, polynucleotides stimulate your body’s own collagen and elastin production to renew and strengthen the skin over time.
There’s no risk of puffiness or product migration, just healthier, smoother, brighter-looking skin.
What to Expect
Your treatment begins with a consultation to discuss your goals and decide whether polynucleotides are right for you.
Depending on your needs, most clients have two or three treatments spaced two to three weeks apart, with a top-up every six to twelve months to maintain results.
Some mild swelling or bruising can occur for a few days, but results gradually build as the skin regenerates.
Most people start to notice a real difference after the second session, with continued improvement for several months.
