The Mechanism of Molecular Renewal
Fibroblast Stimulation
DNA fragments act as "repair signals," encouraging new collagen, elastin, and extracellular matrix support.
Microcirculation Enhancement
Improved blood flow supports healthy, youthful skin tone and nutrient delivery to cells.
Deep Hydration + Antioxidant Protection
Sodium DNA retains water in the dermis and scavenges oxidative stress, counteracting environmental aging.
Anti-Inflammatory Recovery
Because PDRN is biocompatible and minimally immunogenic, recovery is gentle with minimal downtime.
Designed for clients who want more than surface-level glow.
Whether you're dealing with dullness, uneven tone, texture concerns, or early signs of aging, every treatment is customized to your skin goals.
Deep hydration for dull, tired, and dehydrated skin — visible luminosity from within.
Brightens uneven, sun-stressed skin and reduces melanogenesis for a more even complexion.
Smoothes roughness, minimizes visible pores, and improves post-acne marks over time.
Firms early fine lines and restores skin elasticity through cellular-level collagen support.
This treatment can be tailored to address a wide range of skin concerns.
| Skin Concern | What It Helps With |
|---|---|
| Fine Lines & Early Wrinkles | Smooth and firm delicate areas through collagen stimulation |
| Skin Laxity | Subtle tightening and improved elasticity over time |
| Dullness & Dehydration | Deep hydration and radiance from within |
| Pigmentation & Uneven Tone | Brighten and reduce melanogenesis for a more even complexion |
| Acne & Post-Acne Marks | Heal and improve texture through regenerative repair |
| Redness & Sensitive Skin | Anti-inflammatory PDRN calms and restores the skin barrier |
| Dark Circles / Under-Eye | Gentle repair in delicate zones (see Light Eyes Ultra below) |
The Clinical Cocktail
Booster Bar
Add a cocktail for the best skin of your life. Enhance your Mermaid Facial or any upgrade with targeted ToskaniMED boosters — each formulated with biomimetic peptides, growth factors, hyaluronic acid, and advanced actives for precision results.
Restores the skin barrier and deeply hydrates before your main treatment for optimal results.
Targets blemishes, congestion, and oiliness for clearer, calmer, less reactive skin.
Reduces dark spots and evens skin tone for a brighter, more luminous complexion.
The ultimate glass-skin finish — smooth, luminous, and polished for events or regular maintenance.

Light Eyes Ultra:
PDRN Under-Eye Restoration
The only treatment available that specifically targets under-eye bags without filler. Dark circles, puffiness, and decreased skin elasticity around the eyes are common signs of aging and poor microcirculation — and they are notoriously difficult to address.
Light Eyes Ultra offers a targeted PDRN solution specifically designed for the delicate eye area, revitalizing the under-eye zone by boosting skin elasticity, reducing puffiness, and brightening dark circles with minimal discomfort and no downtime.
Available as: A stand-alone treatment, or as an incredible add-on to The Mermaid Facial for a complete regenerative experience.
Improves circulation and drainage to reduce swelling and under-eye bags.
Lightens hyperpigmentation under the eyes for a more refreshed, awake appearance.
Restores firmness and elasticity to the delicate skin around the eyes.
Leaves the under-eye area smooth and supple with minimal downtime.
Enhances skin elasticity, firming the delicate skin around the eyes over time.
Quick, comfortable, non-invasive. Most clients resume normal activities immediately.
CO2Lift: The Red Carpet Recovery Upgrade
CO2Lift is one of our favorite finishing upgrades when we want skin to look calmer, smoother, more hydrated, and more polished after treatment.
We especially love it after Salmon DNA PDRN treatments, microneedling, DiamondGlow, neurotoxin, filler, and biostimulator appointments — when clients want support for texture, swelling, bruising, and overall recovery.
- Smoother, more polished post-treatment finish
- Beautiful for event prep and social downtime concerns
- Pairs perfectly with regenerative facial protocols
- Also available as CO2LiftV retail by request
PDRN Only vs. PDRN + CO2Lift
| PDRN Only | PDRN + CO2Lift | |
|---|---|---|
| Main Focus | Regenerative hydration + skin renewal | Regeneration plus a smoother, polished finish |
| Immediate Look | Progressive glow | Fresher, calmer, more event-ready appearance |
| Texture | Improves over time | Supports smoother-looking skin right away |
| Recovery Feel | Mild post-treatment look may linger | Helps skin look calmer and more hydrated |
| Best For | Long-term skin quality | Long-term quality plus a polished finish |

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. "Salmon sperm facial" is the viral search term. The Mermaid Facial™ (Salmon DNA PDRN Facial) is the more elevated, clinically appropriate name for the treatment. No live sperm is used — it is highly purified polynucleotides extracted from salmon DNA.
It is built around high-concentration, professional-grade PDRN (Toskani Lumicen), customized Booster Bar layering, and a regenerative approach to skin quality — not a diluted retail product.
Yes — we call this The Mermaid Lift™. It is one of our favorite pairings for clients targeting texture, visible pores, post-acne marks, and collagen support. PDRN acts as the ultimate healing and stimulating glide during the treatment.
Yes, when performed by trained professionals. The PDRN used is highly purified and biocompatible. Side effects are minimal — mostly mild redness or light swelling that subsides within hours.
Absolutely. CO2Lift is one of our most-loved upgrades when clients want a calmer, more polished, more hydrated finish — especially before events or when social downtime is a concern.
Some clients love it as a one-time glow treatment before an event, while others see the best results with a consistent series of 3 treatments spaced 3–4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance every 3–6 months.
It's ideal for clients focused on hydration, radiance, texture, tone, recovery support, and early visible signs of aging. Clients with active skin infections, severe rosacea, or recent isotretinoin use may need alternative protocols.
You'll notice a glow within days, but full collagen remodeling comes in weeks 4–6. Results often last 3–6 months depending on skin type, lifestyle, and care — and improve significantly with a series.
