Kim Kardashian, which made viral the facial treatment with salmon sperm
Facial treatment with salmon sperm: There is even science behind the new anti -aging trend that Kim Kardashian helped viralize.
The injections of salmon sperm are the new great news in facial treatments anti -aging.
Firstly, it is important to clarify that the facial treatment with sperm of salmon does not involve spreading directly ejaculation of this fish in the face.
This treatment is done with Polynucleotide microinjections on the skin.
Polynucleotides, or PNsthey are DNA Fragments or Arn. And this is where the sperm of salmon comes in. It is from sperm cells that derive the PNS.
As described, the issue of salmon sperm facial treatments was raised in August 2023, when the actress in an interview with The Wall Street Journal who had done one.
The famous actress spoke again of the subject more than a year later in Jimmy Kimmel Liveafter Kim Kardashian Having talked about your facial treatment with salmon sperm – which seems to have made it.
But is there really science behind this celebrity -supported treatment? The answer is yes.
What does science say?
In 2022, the Chinese Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery A review of preclinical and clinical studies that demonstrate the properties of a PN, polydeoxiribonucleotide (PDRN), extracted mainly from salmon sperm cells.
The study listed the following benefits of PDRN therapy: Reduction of thin lines and wrinkles, more elastic and firm skin due to a better collagen formation, Damage Repair caused by chronic inflammation or prolonged exposure to the sun, scar reduction, better skin hydration and a general improvement of skin quality.
Already in 2024, the Journal of Dermatological Treatment A study that examined the effectiveness of – that sells sperm facials of salmon, in the treatment of burns and scars.
Investigators concluded that treatment with Rejuran, whose active ingredient is PDRN, produced visible improvements, including the reduction of scars visibility.
The investigation has shown that PDRN works through Activation of A2A receiver of adenosinewhich inhibits the signs activated by oxidative stress, inhibits the liberation of proinflammatory chemicals and stimulates the liberation of anti-inflammatory chemicals.
Activation of these receivers promotes collagen synthesis, the vital protein that provides structural support to the skin and helps in repairing the tissues. In addition, the activation of adenosine A2A recetors improves the skin repair process, promoting the formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing.
Very different technique from botox
As New Atlas explains, salmon sperm treatment works very differently from Botox.
A acetylcholine It is a neurotransmitter that Tell the muscles to contract.
I and Botulinum toxin in Botox prevents release from acetylcholine. Here, the muscles are “frozen”, reducing the thin lines and wrinkles.
In contrast to Botox, PNS in salmon sperm injections exert their properties at the cellular level.
