Salmon elixir for youthful skin

In the realm of skincare, the lengths to which people go for that coveted radiant glow are often astounding. Jennifer Aniston, known for her timeless beauty, is no stranger to trying unconventional treatments. When a recommendation surfaced involving an injection derived from salmon sperm, Aniston, ever the trendsetter, embraced the idea. The concept might sound bizarre at first, but delve deeper, and the science behind it reveals surprising benefits.

A 2010 study published in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science showcased the potential of DNA from salmon sperm in skincare. Dr Deepthi Devarakonda, a consultant Plastic & Aesthetic surgeon, sheds light on the intriguing process, stating, “Salmon sperm, the exotic ingredient of this procedure is not technically the whole sperm in composition but actually concentrated Salmon DNA extracted from dead Salmon fish testicles.” The DNA, also known as ‘polydeoxyribonucleoyides’ (pdrn), has been proven to improve cellular migration, promoting wound healing and repair.

Dr Apoorva Upase, a dermatologist, emphasises the efficacy of salmon DNA, “It is effective because salmon DNA is very close to Human DNA which has shown promising effects on skin health and anti-aging by increasing fibroblast which produces collagen.”

As Dr Deepthi Devarakonda explains, “it’s a great option to experience this trend once, in case you have concerns related to skin healing like resistant acne, dry and pigmented skin, sensitive skin, or just not to miss out to find out if this is doing wonders on your skin.”

Dr Apoorva Upase further elaborates on the healing power, “The healing properties of salmon sperm extend to increasing healthy collagen in healing tissues, enhancing skin elasticity, and retaining water in cells, collectively slowing down the aging process.”
