Gentle and unglamorous, which is exactly how loose looking skin likes to be handled.
The short answer
A gentle, consistent routine of a shallow at home skin tool (a roller, stamp or pen) plus a salmon DNA serum can help support the look of firmer, smoother skin over time, done safely at a gentle depth. Keep it shallow, keep it kind, and let it add up. Browse salmon DNA serums.
Hey there, fabulous readers. Sam here, and this is a personal one. Today I am diving into a cheeky little challenge that might just get your skin glowing, and maybe make you giggle along the way. Let us talk about the look of loose, crepey skin: floppy knees, bingo wings waving hello from the couch, inner thighs and a belly that likes to jiggle at the party. We are going to give it all a good nudge with a gentle at home routine and salmon DNA.
What's the deal with loose skin?
As we age, skin naturally loses some of its bounce, thanks to weight changes, pregnancy, or simply the passing of time. I cannot promise miracles, and I would not trust anyone who does. What I can say is that a gentle, consistent routine can help support the look of smoother, firmer looking skin, and that consistency beats intensity every single time.
The plan: salmon DNA plus a gentle at home routine
1. A gentle at home skin tool (a roller, stamp or pen). Used shallow, it creates tiny micro channels in the surface of the skin, which helps a serum absorb and supports the look of a smoother, firmer finish. Think of it as a little workout for how your skin looks, not a dramatic overhaul.
2. Salmon DNA serum. Salmon DNA (PDRN) is a gentle, hydrating cosmetic ingredient that supports the look of plump, even skin. It is packed with skin loving goodness, and no, it does not smell like fish. I will be reaching for a CureNex salmon DNA serum for my sessions.
The challenge (done safely!)
I am challenging myself, and you too if you are keen, to a little transformation journey on those crepey spots. Here is the safe game plan.
1. Prep and safety first. A very important note on depth: for use at home, keep your at home skin tool (a roller, stamp or pen) gentle, 0.25 to 0.5mm. Please do not go deep at home. I am not going 2.5mm at home and neither should you, because deeper body work belongs with a licensed professional. Use clean, single use heads and never go deep enough to draw blood.
2. The gentle session. Get comfy and let your at home skin tool do its thing at a shallow depth, all while dreaming of looking fab in swimmers again.
3. Slather on the salmon. Before, during and after, apply that glorious salmon DNA serum to hydrate and support the look of your skin.
4. Keep it consistent. Space sessions sensibly, every few weeks for shallow body work, and pair with a daily salmon DNA serum in between.
5. Stay tuned. I will keep you posted on how my skin feels along the way, quirks, surprises and all.
Go shallow, go steady, and let the salmon DNA do the quiet work.

Frequently asked questions
What treatment depth is safe at home for body areas?
Keep it gentle, around 0.25 to 0.5mm. Going deeper on the body is a clinical treatment and should only be done by a trained professional. Never go deep enough to draw blood at home.
Can a gentle treatment tighten loose skin?
As a cosmetic routine, a gentle at home skin tool (a roller, stamp or pen) with a salmon DNA serum can support the look of firmer, smoother skin over time. It is not a medical skin tightening treatment.
What serum should I use?
A gentle salmon DNA (PDRN) serum is ideal. It absorbs well and supports the look of hydrated, even skin.
