What do CO2 laser, salmon DNA, and exosome treatments have in common?
They can all combat various signs of aging to improve the appearance and texture of your skin.
Some of the biggest celebrities have shared their experiences of these treatments. Reality TV star Khloe Kardashian revealed in 2025 that she had tried the salmon sperm DNA option. And her sister Kim has tried exosome therapy to retain her youthful looks.
But what do these treatments involve? And what are the advantages of combining them?
In this post, we’ll explain everything you need to know about CO2 laser, salmon DNA, and exosome treatments.
What is a CO2 Laser Treatment?
Cosmetic surgeons often use CO2 lasers after performing invasive treatments on patients. They can help rejuvenate the skin and encourage tissue repair. Patients may find that CO2 lasers promote faster, more effective recovery.
But CO2 lasers are now used as a treatment in their own right. How does this process work?
The carbon dioxide laser emits concentrated light at the target area. Water inside the local skin cells absorbs the light and begins to heat up. The cells vaporize.
This removes the skin’s outer layer and reveals a fresh one underneath. CO2 lasers penetrate skin at a deeper level than some others, such as erbium lasers. They can target advanced damage below the outer layer, creating a powerful skin resurfacing solution.
What is the Salmon DNA Treatment?
The salmon DNA treatment uses polynucleotides (PN) extracted from salmon sperm DNA. This is why you may see it called the “salmon sperm facial”.
Polynucleotides are critical components of DNA with regenerative properties. They send a signal to the skin to start repairing itself and renew cells. This encourages the body to produce more collagen: a crucial protein for skin’s structure and resilience.
Salmon DNA is injected into various parts of the body affected by sagging skin or wrinkles. But the most popular target sites are the face, neck, and hands.
What is Exosome Therapy?
Exosomes derived from human stem cells have become a popular anti-aging treatment. Almost all cell types in your body release exosome nanoparticles, including skin cells. They contain a powerful set of proteins, amino acids, and growth factors.
Exosomes communicate with other cells and can revive damaged and dormant ones. Reactivated cells begin to regenerate and get to work on essential jobs within the body.
Like other anti-aging treatments, exosome therapy can contribute to more youthful skin.
Why Combine CO2 Laser, Salmon DNA, and Exosome Treatments?
Here are the main benefits of combining CO2 laser, salmon DNA, and exosome treatments:
Increase Collagen Production and Skin Elasticity
The human body produces less collagen and elastin with age. Both of these proteins are vital for strong, firm skin. Collagen provides skin with volume and structure, and elastin ensures elasticity.
But decreased collagen and elastin cause skin to sag over time. It loses its youthful plumpness and becomes looser across the body. This is most noticeable on the face and neck.
These treatments can boost collagen and elastin production within the body. This rejuvenates the skin and creates a smoother, healthier appearance.
Reduce the Visibility of Wrinkles
Reduced collagen and elastin contribute to wrinkles as well as sagging. Wrinkles and fine lines are a common sign of aging on the face. They develop around the eyes, near the mouth, on the forehead, and in other areas.
But using these treatments together can make a real difference. CO2 laser resurfacing removes the outer layer to reveal fresher, smoother skin beneath. Salmon DNA and exosome therapy will encourage tissue repair and skin renewal. Skin will look and feel younger as a result.
Create a More Even Skin Tone
Large pores, hyperpigmentation, and other complexion issues can all affect skin over time. For example, hyperpigmentation causes darker patches of skin to form. It can be triggered by:
- Sun damage
- Inflammation
- Medications
- Hormonal fluctuations
But this combination of treatments can address hyperpigmentation and other complexion problems. They will cultivate a more even skin tone in target areas.
Improve the Appearance of Scars
CO2 laser, salmon DNA, and exosome treatments can all improve scarred skin. They can make acne and surgical scars less noticeable after multiple sessions.
Removing the outer layer of skin will reduce the visibility of scars and show a smoother layer below. Promoting tissue repair and cell regeneration will also help address scars.
Treat Sun Damage
Prolonged sun exposure and a lack of protection can cause various visible effects. These include age/sun spots, wrinkles, and discoloration.
This treatment combo can remove damaged skin and promote cell regeneration. Skin will look healthier and more even in tone once the full effects take shape.
What are the Side Effects of These Treatments?
CO2 laser, salmon DNA, and exosome treatments can all lead to side effects. This is true of almost any treatment.
Here are the potential side effects to consider:
- Redness
- Swelling
- Skin tone changes
- Bruising
- Infection
- Allergic reactions
Any side effects that occur will be temporary and should fade within a short period. We’ll give you detailed aftercare advice and recommendations for your peace of mind.
How Long Will It Take to See Results?
You may see immediate results from these treatments, but the full outcomes take time to develop. Here’s some more detail:
- Results of a CO2 laser treatment will be fully visible after 30 days.
- Salmon DNA treatments tend to create noticeable results immediately. But skin should look fully rejuvenated after around 90 days.
- Exosomes remain active for between six and eight months after treatment. You should see the results for at least a few months beyond that time.
