Is Polynucleotide the Same as a Dermal Filler?
No. Polynucleotide is not a dermal filler.

Unlike dermal fillers, polynucleotide does not add volume or reshape facial structure.
Patients at The Marlin Clinic in Birmingham seeking volume or structural change are assessed at consultation with Dr Jeff Marlin, who will advise on the most appropriate treatment for their concerns.
Are Salmon Sperm Injections the Same as Polynucleotide at The Marlin Clinic Birmingham?
Yes. Salmon sperm injections is a colloquial term used to describe polynucleotide treatment.

The treatment Dr Jeff Marlin performs at The Marlin Clinic in Birmingham is the same whether patients arrive having searched for polynucleotide, PDRN or salmon sperm injections in Birmingham.
Full information on the source and composition of polynucleotide is available on the salmon sperm injections guide. Any questions about the product used at The Marlin Clinic can be raised with Dr Jeff Marlin at the initial consultation.
