What is the Mermaid Facial?
Polynucleotides – small fragments of DNA – provide an overall boost to your skin when infused into it. The Mermaid Facial, which is sometimes referred to as a “polynucleotide treatment” or “PDRN treatment,” goes beyond standard skincare treatments. Developed in Italy, this is an advanced, minimally-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that combines innovative science with luxurious aesthetic care. This facial improves the overall quality and appearance of your skin.
The powerhouse ingredient in the Mermaid Facial that makes it unique is Polydeoxyribonucleotide or DNA: PDRN – a refined ingredient which is derived from wild salmon DNA and lauded for its ability to repair and regenerate skin at the cellular level. The proteins and nutrients found in wild salmon DNA have nourishing and regenerative properties. PDRN promotes tissue repair, encourages collagen production, accelerates healing, and enhances skin texture.
What are the Benefits of the Mermaid Facial?
The Mermaid Facial provides subtle and natural-looking overall rejuvenation for the skin. It has numerous benefits such as encouraging collagen production, enhancing elasticity, and boosting the skin’s natural glow. This treatment can help to enhance your skin’s radiance when you’re getting ready a few weeks to months before a big event.
The Mermaid Facial can:
- Stimulate skin regeneration
- Boost hyaluronic acid levels
- Provide deep biorevitalization
- Increase the skin’s fibroblast levels
- Promote new collagen production
- Restore subtle volume
- Deliver a radiant, youthful complexion
- Renew and smooth your skin texture
- Repair cellular damage
- Reduce fine lines and uneven texture
- Improve overall dullness
- Intensely hydrate
- Create a supple and glowing appearance
The Mermaid Facial can provide noticeable benefits for anyone hoping to enhance the appearance and health of their skin. Patients who are hoping to reduce signs of aging, such as wrinkles, without fillers or other injectables or improve dullness, dryness, and an uneven complexion, could be good candidates. Mermaid Facials can be customized for the face, neck, lips, and eye area. They are a perfect treatment option for those with aging or mature skin who are hoping to improve firmness and elasticity, or patients of all ages who are experiencing dull, dehydrated skin.
Mermaid Facials are also ideal for giving your skin a pick-me-up if you want to gradually develop a radiant glow for special occasions or simply would like your skin to look and feel its best. This facial can be a great option for patients who are seeking natural-looking results.
The process for the Mermaid Facial is relatively quick and minimally invasive. Before we begin the Mermaid Facial treatment, a numbing cream is applied to your face for your comfort. The numbing cream application time is around twenty minutes, and then the Mermaid Facial itself takes just fifteen to thirty minutes to be completed, on average.
A dermal infusion applicator device is used to infuse serums directly into the skin with ultra-fine needles to ensure optimal distribution and absorption. There is little to no downtime, and you can resume your normal activities right away. Some patients may experience some minor facial redness that fades after a few hours.
Patients may notice improvements within a few weeks after one to two treatment sessions, including enhanced hydration and a radiant glow. Results may continue to evolve as collagen and elastin develop over time.
The longevity of results varies depending on your skin type and lifestyle, but they can last for up to six months, on average, with a series of three to four treatments. Maintenance treatments can help to further enhance and preserve the benefits.
