The Secret to Radiant Skin: How Glass Skin Microneedling Works
3/20/2025
More and more these days, getting that coveted glass-like skin glow means turning to the latest findings in science and medicine rather than skincare alone. Glass skin microneedling, featuring salmon DNA, is growing in popularity for its ability to deeply hydrate, brighten, and help restore skin's youthful resilience with advanced Rejuran® regenerative science and patented DOT™ technology. At My Aesthetics Intelligence in Dallas, TX, double board-certified nurse practitioner Annie Nguyen offers glass skin microneedling — also known as salmon DNA microneedling — for patients seeking a dewy, refreshed complexion that hasn't been attainable through topical products or other skin rejuvenation treatments.
What's the difference in salmon DNA microneedling vs. regular microneedling?
Unlike traditional microneedling, which stimulates collagen production through controlled micro-injuries, salmon DNA microneedling (glass skin microneedling) infuses the skin with PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide), a powerful regenerative substance derived from marine DNA. This ingredient supports skin cell repair, enhances hydration, and reinforces the skin barrier to help patients achieve smooth, virtually poreless skin, often referred to as a "glass complexion."
What happens during microneedling salmon DNA treatment?
The procedure begins with a thorough cleansing of the skin, followed by the application of a topical numbing cream — if needed — to minimize discomfort. Using a specialized microneedling device, Annie carefully creates controlled micro-injuries across the skin's surface, triggering the body's natural healing response. As the tiny needles penetrate the skin, a serum rich in PDRN is infused directly into the dermis, allowing for deeper absorption.
This combination of microchanneling and targeted serum infusion stimulates collagen production, accelerates cellular renewal, and enhances moisture retention. The treatment typically takes about an hour, and patients may experience mild redness or sensitivity almost immediately after, similar to a light sunburn. Most patients notice improved hydration and radiance within days, with continued benefits over the following weeks.
How does glass microneedling improve skin texture and elasticity?
One of the primary benefits of glass skin microneedling is its ability to address uneven skin texture and fine lines. The combination of microneedling plus PDRN promotes cellular turnover — helping to soften rough patches, minimize discoloration, and improve overall tone. At the same time, collagen production is stimulated, which can enhance skin elasticity, giving it a firmer, more youthful appearance. Some of the most exciting potential results of salmon DNA microneedling include
- Smoother skin texture
- Brighter, more even tone
- Increased firmness and elasticity
Is salmon DNA microneedling safe for dry skin?
Glass microneedling with salmon DNA is actually designed to help improve dry or dull skin. By deeply hydrating the skin and repairing its moisture barrier, salmon DNA microneedling helps prevent the dryness and dullness that often make skin appear tired, with many patients achieving almost a reflective glow that makes the complexion look effortlessly fresh, radiant, and more youthful.
