The best clinics for polynucleotides in New York

Polynucleotides are a regenerative skin treatment, often described as salmon DNA, that aim to improve hydration, texture and elasticity over a course of sessions. There is an important note on United States regulation below. Here is our researched, independent view, with prices treated as indicative ranges.

What to know first

Honest expectations and a note on regulation

Polynucleotides are short chains of DNA, usually purified from salmon, that are thought to support the skin's own repair and boost hydration and collagen. They suit people who want a gradual improvement in skin quality rather than the volume of a filler, and results build over a series of sessions. An important honesty note for New York readers: at the time of writing, polynucleotide injectables such as Rejuran are not approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for injection. Some New York clinics deliver polynucleotide formulas topically with microneedling instead, and protocols differ. Always ask exactly what product is used, how it is delivered and on what regulatory basis.

Clinics worth knowing

A researched, independent selection of New York providers offering polynucleotide or salmon DNA skin treatments. Listings are editorial and not paid placements. Some details are marked to be confirmed. Because delivery and regulation differ between clinics, always confirm the named provider, the exact product and the protocol directly.

01

New Face NY

Manhattan · Facial plastic surgery · Regenerative

A facial plastic surgery practice led by Dr Richard Westreich, a double board certified facial plastic surgeon, offering polynucleotide skin rejuvenation among its regenerative treatments.

We name a provider only where we can verify it offers the treatment. Where we cannot yet confirm a detail we say so rather than fill the gap. If you run a New York clinic strong in polynucleotide skin treatments and would like to be considered, you are welcome to apply to be listed.

How we choose

What earns a place here

I

Clear on product and regulation

With a newer category, the clinics worth trusting are open about exactly which product they use, how it is delivered and the regulatory basis. We favour transparency over marketing language.

II

Medical oversight

A doctor or medically supervised provider who assesses your skin and explains realistic outcomes, with proper consent and after care. Skin treatments deserve the same rigour as any aesthetic procedure.

III

Honest about results

A clinic that frames polynucleotides as a gradual skin quality treatment, not a miracle, and sets out a sensible course and maintenance. We treat all pricing as indicative and ask clinics to confirm.

Indicative pricing

Medical disclaimer

Polynucleotide skin treatments are a medical aesthetic procedure. This page is general information, not medical advice, and prices are indicative only. At the time of writing, polynucleotide injectables are not approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for injection, so always confirm the product and delivery method with the clinic. Common, usually short lived effects include redness, swelling and tenderness, and with microneedling, mild flaking. Results vary, build gradually and are not guaranteed. A qualified practitioner who has assessed you in person should confirm whether the treatment suits you. Read the full polynucleotides guide for more on risks and downtime.
