Ever since Kim Kardashian got a salmon sperm facial, the Internet has been abuzz about the treatment, which claims to make skin more supple and plump. Here, one editor examines the science and shares her own experience getting a salmon sperm facial.
Kim Kardashian put salmon sperm on her face, so I put salmon sperm on my face. Granted, she actually had salmon sperm injected into her face, whereas I had mine applied topically during a microneedling session because injecting into the skin is not FDA-approved. But even before the Kardashian effect kicked in, salmon sperm facials were rising in popularity—and after getting one myself, I can attest that they’re not as gross or strange as you might think.
Afterwards, the numbing cream was removed and my face was cleaned with alcohol to ensure a sterile environment for microneedling. Working in sections and starting with my cheeks, the medical aesthetician began stamping the microneedling device into my skin to allow for even deeper penetration. After completing my right cheek, she applied the salmon sperm serum, which was housed in a syringe and had a gel-like consistency. After that, she stamped into my skin once again.
