Salmon Sperm Treatments: The Latest Anti-Aging Craze Transforming Women’s Sex Lives

The latest head-turning trend? Salmon sperm treatments that are promised to revitalize intimate experiences.

“A lot of older women come to me and say they are not having any kind of sexual arousal anymore,” reveals Amanda Azzopardi, an aesthetic nurse who runs clinics across the UK. “So, we do the ‘O-shot’ and they’re reporting stronger and more frequent orgasms, increased natural lubrication, greater sexual arousal.”

The “O-shot,” as it’s been dubbed, is a non-surgical, injectable procedure that aims to rejuvenate the vagina and boost sexual function. And the key ingredient? Purified salmon sperm DNA.

According to Peach & Lily, a skincare company that has incorporated the ingredient, salmon sperm DNA “has potent regenerative qualities, working not on the superficial level but sinking deeply into skin to work from within, encouraging cell turnover that, in turn, helps firm skin and maintain its elasticity.”

The same principles are believed to apply below the belt, with the salmon-derived polynucleotides touted for their anti-inflammatory effects and ability to revitalize intimate areas.

“It’s just absolutely life-changing for them,” Azzopardi says of her clients’ experiences with the treatment.

This isn’t the first time the humble salmon has made waves in the beauty world. The fish’s sperm has been a staple in Korean skincare for years, often featured as a key ingredient. And last year, even Jennifer Aniston admitted to trying a salmon sperm facial, telling the Wall Street Journal she’s willing to “try almost anything” to maintain her youthful glow.

The science behind the trend is promising. A 2017 study demonstrated that salmon sperm helped repair cellular damage, speed up the healing of wounds, and diminish inflammation. Other studies have shown the proteins found in salmon sperm can help reduce signs of aging.

A 2010 study published in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science found that the DNA in the sperm contained higher water content, increased skin elasticity, stronger collagen levels, and increased production of hyaluronic acid.

Another report done on mice in 2016 found that the salmon sperm DNA increased blood flow to the skin and was beneficial to healing wounds.

“Several studies have demonstrated its healing power and it is sometimes used to promote healing. It has been used not only to heal the skin but also to heal damaged livers,” explains Dr. Kenneth Beer, a cosmetic dermatologist.

So while the idea of injecting fish semen into the most intimate of areas may raise some eyebrows, the potential benefits seem to be reeling women in. After all, when it comes to rejuvenating one’s sex life, some women are willing to take the plunge – no matter how bizarre the method may seem.
