‘It isn’t just having fish semen injected into your face,’ beauty pro explains of Kim Kardashian’s ‘salmon sperm’ facial
IF you’ve noticed something fishy about your favorite star’s latest beauty routines, you might be right.
A beauty pro has shared how a new salmon sperm facial is keeping celebrities such as Kim Kardashian looking fresh-faced.
The Skims founder, 43, didn’t shy away from telling her mom, Kris Jenner, about how she is a fan of the facial on a recent episode of The Kardashians, which airs on Hulu, according to USA Today.
“I got a salmon sperm facial with salmon sperm injected into my face,” she said on the show.
Jennifer Aniston also turned to the unusual procedure to get glowing skin, though she also had questions about what exactly was going on her face.
“First of all, I said, ‘Are you serious? How do you get salmon’s sperm?”‘ Aniston commented in The Wall Street Journal.
Fiona Ross, a medical aesthetic injector and founder of The Aesthetics Club, in the UK, has shared what the treatment really entails.
“When people hear salmon sperm, they may of course find that concept a bit weird. But it isn’t exactly sperm,” she said.
“The DNA is originally derived from salmon or trout semen, but the nucleus is removed and polynucleotides are derived from that,” she continued.
“It isn’t just having fish sperm injected into your face, it’s a clever cocktails of molecules that harvests all the benefits of fish sperm for your skin.”
Those brave enough to upgrade their skincare routine with the fish sperm might just reap the best beauty benefits.
Polynucleotide injections, which are sourced from salmon semen, continue to rise in popularity, probably in part due to some star fans.
“This surge is largely due to endorsements from celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Aniston, who have publicly praised the non-surgical treatment,” she said.
The injectable, which is derived from salmon or trout DNA, is used to tackle fine lines, tighten skin, and boost the production of collagen.
The ameela polynucleotide treatments are based on natural polymerized polynucleotides.
It might be unconventional, but it’s already proven to successfully combat the signs of aging.
“The revitalizing powers of fish are well known – that’s why we’re always keen to incorporate them into our diet,” she said.
“Polynucleotides are an amazing way of harnessing these benefits. It takes the refined DNA derived from fish and turns it into a powerful anti-aging solution.”
She shared how the age-rewinding facial can be used as a substitute for more common procedures.
“People are looking for alternatives to Botox to enhance their natural features, and this is one of the best,” she said.
The “regenerative” salmon sperm is ideal for achieving more natural results.
“It doesn’t change how you look, but it does enhance your face, which is what a lot of people are looking for in a treatment,” she said.
It can also turn back time on other parts of your body by improving the laxity of your neck and even offering hand-rejuvenating benefits.
She said the “versatile” procedure is safe on the stomach, buttocks, and thighs, or anywhere else in need of some firming.
With little downtime, those hoping to look younger have nothing to lose.
Most side effects are minimal, including small bruises and bumps that dissipate within just a few days.
Many of her clients are interested in battling the long-term effects of aging, while the younger generation is turning to the treatment as a preventative procedure.
“The benefits are impressive – skin tightening, collagen production, reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, and even neck rejuvenation. It is also the first product to fight free radicals from under the skin.”
She sticks by the sperm-centric treatment which is backed by medical guidance.
“It’s reassuring, especially as more and more people are doing their research into procedures,” she said.
