Jennifer Aniston and I do not have a whole lot in common. But, one thing we can agree on is the effectiveness of the excellent – albeit unconventional – salmon sperm facial. Here’s what happened when I trusted a facialist to inject my face with the seed of my favourite sushi topping. (In a treatment that one that the world’s best Friend swears by!).
What’s a salmon sperm facial, anyway?
At first, I was a bit sceptical about the effectiveness of applying salmon sperm to my skin. But, the Rejuran Treatment is really more about science than sashimi! This treatment harnesses polynucleotides derived from salmon DNA, and it’s all about rejuvenating and healing your complextion. I booked my session at La Belle Cosmetics, where a super-skilled practitioner was ready to guide me through this cutting-edge therapy.
Here, the magic of this miracle treatment that Ms Aniston swears by, happened through a series of micro-injections that deliver those powerful polynucleotides right into the dermis – the deep layer of your skin. This process stimulates collagen and elastin production, which are basically your skin’s best friends when it comes to that youthful glow we all crave.
From sushi to science
As I settled into the beautiful boutique salon setting of La Belle Cosmetics, I read up on the effectiveness of Rejuran to transform my skin – and questioned the catch …
Guiding me through my concerns was a knowledgeable nurse who then tele-healthed in the Dr in for the final go-ahead and handed me over to my personal practitioner.
After a gentle cleanse, the practitioner prepared the injections, using a numbing cream to ensure my (relative!) comfort throughout the process. The sensation of the micro-injections was intense but tolerable – a slight prick that quickly faded as the polynucleotides worked their way into my skin. The entire process lasts about 45 minutes. Pending your pain threshold!
A glow you can sea
Following the treatment, I immediately noticed a subtle glow in my skin. The real transformation, however, became evident within a few weeks. Rejuran promised to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture, and enhance hydration, and it delivered on all fronts. My skin felt smoother and looked more radiant, with a noticeable decrease in the appearance of enlarged pores and acne scars.
According to my practioner, most clients achieve optimal results after three to four sessions spaced four weeks apart, and I could certainly see why this treatment is gaining popularity. With effects lasting up to six to 12 months, it offers long-lasting rejuvenation without the need for invasive procedures.
So, is this fancy fish facial worth my hard-earned cash ($1250 a session to be precise). From my experience, absolutely! The results felt so natural, and the downtime was minimal, you could say I was convinced – hook, line and sinker…
