Why Microneedling with Salmon DNA Is the Best Way to Rejuvenate the Eye Area
The skin around your eyes is often the first place to show signs of aging. It’s thinner, more delicate, and more vulnerable to the effects of time, stress, and the environment. Fine lines, puffiness, sagging, and dark circles can all appear as early as your 20s and 30s — and tend to deepen with age.
In the world of modern aesthetics, there are many treatments that promise to address these concerns. But one solution stands out for its natural effectiveness, regenerative power, and scientific support: microneedling with Salmon DNA (PDRN).
At Aura Bella Med Spa in Scottsdale, Arizona, this innovative combination treatment is helping women and men restore a younger, brighter, firmer eye area—without surgery, fillers, or downtime.
In this article, we’ll dive deep into:
- Why the eye area ages so quickly
- How microneedling works to reverse those signs
- What makes Salmon DNA (PDRN) a game-changing skincare ingredient
- The benefits of combining microneedling with Salmon DNA for the eyes
- What to expect from a treatment
- Scientific research that supports this technique
Why the Eye Area Ages So Quickly
The skin around your eyes is structurally different from the rest of your face. It’s:
- 10x thinner than other areas of the face
- Lacking in oil glands, which help retain moisture
- Constantly moving — blinking, squinting, laughing
- More prone to fluid retention, which causes puffiness
As we age, the natural production of collagen and elastin slows down. The fat pads beneath the eyes begin to shrink, skin loses its elasticity, and repetitive muscle movements create visible lines — most commonly known as crow’s feet, under-eye bags, and crepey texture.
Because this area is so fragile, it also responds poorly to aggressive treatments. Lasers can be too harsh. Fillers can look unnatural. Even skincare products often fall short because the molecules are too large to penetrate this delicate zone.
What Is Microneedling, and Why Is It Effective Around the Eyes?
Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, involves using a device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the surface of the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing process — stimulating the production of new collagen, elastin, and capillaries.
This response is especially valuable around the eyes, where natural collagen production has slowed or stopped.
Microneedling:
- Thickens and strengthens the thin under-eye skin
- Reduces fine lines like crow’s feet
- Improves blood circulation, helping fade dark circles
- Stimulates lymphatic drainage, reducing puffiness
- Enhances the penetration of serums, maximizing results
Unlike laser treatments, microneedling can be safely used near the eyes with the right depth and technique. When performed by trained professionals — like the expert providers at Aura Bella Med Spa — it’s both effective and low-risk.
What Is Salmon DNA (PDRN), and Why Is It a Game-Changer?
PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide) is a naturally occurring compound extracted from the DNA of salmon — an animal known for its regenerative power, muscle resilience, and strong cellular structure.
What’s remarkable about Salmon DNA is how closely its nucleotide structure mirrors that of human DNA — allowing it to integrate into our skin’s cellular functions and stimulate tissue regeneration at the deepest levels.
PDRN has been used in medical settings for decades to treat burns, ulcers, and wounds. More recently, it has gained popularity in aesthetics for its incredible ability to:
- Rebuild damaged skin
- Stimulate fibroblast activity (collagen-producing cells)
- Hydrate from within
- Reduce inflammation
- Normalize pigmentation
Scientific studies have shown that PDRN can:
- Increase epidermal thickness
- Promote angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels)
- Reduce cellular aging markers like p53 and p16
- Help regulate melanin production, brightening dark circles
Why Combine Microneedling with Salmon DNA for the Eye Area?
While microneedling is powerful on its own, combining it with Salmon DNA takes the results to a whole new level.
Here’s why the combination is so effective:
1. Deeper Penetration of PDRN
Microneedling creates micro-channels that allow Salmon DNA to penetrate deep into the dermis — reaching areas that topical creams and serums can’t. This enhances cellular absorption and ensures maximum benefit from each drop of PDRN.
2. Double Collagen Boost
Microneedling stimulates your body to produce collagen through physical microtrauma. Salmon DNA boosts collagen production biologically by activating cellular repair and regeneration. The result? Firmer, more elastic skin that rebuilds from the inside out.
3. Faster Healing, Less Downtime
PDRN reduces inflammation and accelerates tissue repair, which means faster healing after microneedling. Clients often experience less redness, faster recovery, and better overall skin resilience.
4. Brighter, More Hydrated Eyes
PDRN attracts and retains moisture at a cellular level, plumping the skin and restoring its glow. This is critical for thin under-eye areas that easily become dry, dull, or crepey.
What Results Can You Expect?
Clients at Aura Bella Med Spa report visible improvements in the eye area after just 1–2 sessions, with optimal results after 3–5 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Fewer fine lines and crow’s feet
- Reduced puffiness
- Lightened dark circles
- Tighter under-eye skin
- A refreshed, more awake appearance
- Improved makeup application and wear
What’s even better? The results look natural. You won’t look “overdone” — you’ll just look like you’re getting better sleep, taking better care of your skin, and aging in slow motion.
What Does the Treatment Feel Like?
At Aura Bella, treatments are always performed in a calm, comfortable environment. Here’s how it typically goes:
- Consultation: You’ll meet with a licensed provider to discuss your skin history, concerns, and goals.
- Cleansing + Numbing: A topical numbing cream is applied to ensure your comfort.
- Microneedling Begins: Using the advanced FDA-approved Collagen Pen, the provider gently works around the eye area with a customized needle depth.
- PDRN Application: Salmon DNA serum is applied immediately after microneedling to penetrate deeply.
- Aftercare Guidance: You’ll receive instructions for optimal healing, including skincare tips and what to avoid (e.g., makeup, sun exposure) for the next 24–48 hours.
Most clients feel a light vibration or tingling during the treatment. Mild redness may occur for 1–2 days but typically resolves quickly, especially when using the regenerative serums provided.
What the Science Says
Microneedling and PDRN aren’t just trendy — they’re backed by credible studies.
- A 2022 study published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences found that PDRN significantly improved dermal thickness, collagen content, and hydration in human skin models.
- A clinical trial in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (2021) showed that microneedling combined with PDRN resulted in faster wound healing and better texture improvement compared to microneedling alone.
- Another study from Dermatologic Therapy found that PDRN reduced under-eye pigmentation and inflammation, making it a viable option for those with dark circles and puffiness.
