Caviar, anyone? Few beauty treatments are shocking these days, even in the extravagant world of the rich and the injected, but the “salmon sperm facial” trend is still weird enough to turn heads. Thanks to Jennifer Aniston’s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in October 2024 and a whole school of other famous fans, this treatment has proven to be anything but a fad, and its popularity grows with each strange celebrity response to the age-old question, “Why does your skin look so good?”
A large-scale review of several studies on the effectiveness of polynucleotides, the complex molecules found in salmon sperm, concluded that they can “improve skin texture, reduce wrinkle depth, and enhance facial appearance.” These treatments can come in the form of injectables, masks, or serums paired with microneedling performed by medical professionals, and are lauded for the youthful, hydrated, plump glow that they leave on the skin.
Following the Friends star’s confession, a slew of big names in entertainment and sports stepped out of the shadows. So, who’s getting busy with the salmon business in Hollywood?
