Would You Inject Salmon Sperm Into Your Face?
Fishy business
Everyone knows salmon is a superfood – but how would you feel about injecting its sperm into your skin?
If you’re not shocked by that sentence, you’re either a little crazy or read a post about the new viral anti-aging cosmetic procedure. But if you’re still slightly disturbed by ‘salmon sperm’, let me explain it for you.
Rejuran, aka the ‘salmon sperm’ facial, is a new cosmetic injectable known as a biostimulator that works by stimulating your skin’s natural collagen production. It also improves the appearance of damaged skin, helps reduce inflammation and discolouration, boosts cell regeneration and improves skin elasticity and integrity. Sounds ideal, right?
What exactly is it?
Rejuran’s product is a polynucleotide (bio-stimulator) that is extracted from wild salmon sperm. According to Rejuran’s extensive clinical studies, it stimulates the cells in our skin that naturally produce collagen and gives them a major boost to rapidly regenerate fresh skin cells. This then helps slow down the aging process, boosts hydration and improves overall skin health and appearance.
Why salmon sperm though?
Great question! While ‘salmon sperm’ and ‘skin’ don’t sound like they would make a great pair, the science behind it makes for a glowing case. In simple terms, the DNA extracted from salmon sperm is processed into polydeoxyribonucleotides (PDRN), which are incredibly rich in skin cell regeneration and restoration. The technology mimics the regenerative process our skin naturally has, but as we age this process is a lot slower and less effective. The solution? Salmon sperm!
So, will this replace regular filler practices?
Rejuran differs from regular fillers as it’s not Hyaluronic Acid (HA) based. While typical HA fillers treat volume loss, Rejuran’s main purpose is biostimulation, meaning it’s working to keep your collagen cells active. A great option for those wanting to approach cosmetic treatments and injectables with more natural, preventive methods.
Would you give this a go?
