As we head into 2025, the skincare industry is rapidly advancing, blending cutting-edge technology with time-tested principles. “The focus is shifting from quick fixes to treatments that offer long-lasting, transformative effects,” informs Dr Geetika Srivastava, dermatologist, and founder of Influennz Skin and Hair Clinic, Delhi.
From adopting personalised skincare powered by artificial intelligence to exploring the power of DNA through bizarre treatments like the ‘salmon sperm injections’, Dr Srivastava shares some revolutionary skincare technologies poised to redefine how we approach skin health and beauty in the coming year:
Korean skincare innovations continue to set trends, and Doublo Gold by Hironic is one of the latest marvels. This third-generation technology uses high-frequency ultrasound energy to penetrate multiple layers of skin. By targeting various depths, it effectively stimulates collagen production and tightens the skin. This non-invasive and painless treatment takes only about 30 minutes and needs to be done just once a year. With zero downtime, it is a highly attractive alternative to traditional facelift procedures, offering youthful skin without the need for surgery.

Microneedling has long been hailed as a transformative skin treatment, and now, it’s evolving with the introduction of Milifrac or Million Fractional Therapy. Developed by Dermapen World, this handheld device uses microneedling to create micro-injuries in the skin that prompt a healing response. However, Milifrac elevates the process by incorporating potent serums into the treatment, showing exceptional results in stubborn cases of melasma, acne, and acne scars. This innovation delivers targeted, deeper rejuvenation for even the most resistant skin issues.
Exosomes are the new frontier in skincare, generating excitement due to their ability to work at the cellular and even DNA level. These tiny messenger molecules carry signals between cells, triggering processes like collagen production, healing, and rejuvenation. Exosomes are already proving beneficial for a range of concerns, including acne, acne scars, pigmentation, hair loss, and the visible signs of ageing, such as fine lines and wrinkles. What sets them apart is their ability to influence genetic expressions, making them one of the most scientifically advanced skincare solutions available.
- PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide)
Currently gaining popularity under the moniker "salmon sperm injections," PDRN involves using small DNA fragments to regenerate skin. This technology promotes angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels) and collagen synthesis, enhancing skin elasticity and texture. It is also highly effective in treating hyperpigmentation, making it a promising option for those dealing with persistent dark spots and uneven skin tone. PDRN treatments are already becoming a go-to for professionals seeking to deliver deep regenerative results.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has made waves in virtually every industry, and skincare is no exception. In 2025, expect AI-driven technologies to personalise skincare more than ever before. Apps and smart devices equipped with AI capabilities can analyse your skin type, texture, and concerns based on detailed questionnaires, quizzes, or even by taking a selfie. These platforms then generate a customised skincare routine designed to target your specific issues, delivering expert recommendations without you ever having to visit a dermatologist in person. This shift to at-home, AI-guided skincare promises to democratise skincare advice, making it accessible to anyone with a smartphone.
