Yes, you read that right. Salmon-sperm facials are buzzing in pop culture and on celebrity Instagram feeds - but before you dismiss it as a gimmick, let's dig into what it really is, why people are loving it, and why you might want to try it (especially if you're already looking for your next-level glow).

What Is a Salmon-Sperm Facial?

Though the name sounds shocking, the treatment you'll experience is much more refined. These facials use polydeoxyribonucleotides (PDRN) derived from salmon DNA - not simply "raw sperm" in the unfiltered sense. These small DNA fragments are processed and then used via microneedling, mask, or serum to help regenerate, boost collagen, improve hydration, smooth tone and texture, and refresh your overall complexion.

Why the Hype? Celebrity Cred + Visible Results

You may have spotted salmon sperm facials making headlines lately - especially after they appeared on the Netflix hit Selling Sunset as part of the finale Galentine's Day party. Celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Aniston, and MIley Cyrus have also shared their curiosity (and experiences!) with the treatment. Kim even admitted to "a salmon sperm facial with salmon sperm injected into my face," while Jennifer joked about asking her aesthetician, "How do you even get salmon's sperm?" before giving it a try. Despite the name, fans love the glow it delivers - skin looks plumper, smoother, and radiantly healthy.

What Makes It Applicable at The Spa at MPS

If you're already loving our medspa services (facials, lasers, microneedling, etc.), the salmon-sperm facial can slot in beautifully. You might wish for something deeper than a regular facial - but you're not quite ready for a full resurfacing or aggressive procedure. Or maybe you've done many "basic" treatments and are looking for the next-step upgrade. This facial offers that.

Who Is It Good For? 

  • Anyone noticing texture issues, fine lines, or uneven tone - but who wants minimal downtime. 
  • Clients whose skin has plateaued with standard facials and want a boost. 
  • Anyone who likes high-tech/next-gen treatments and doesn't mind a name that makes people ask. 
  • Skin types that benefit from collagen stimulation and healing.

Why Now? Why This One?

Trends aside, if you've caught yourself in the mirror thinking "I feel like my skin just isn't what it used to be," or you're prepping for a major event (wedding, anniversary, fall photoshoot, etc.), this is an excellent moment to explore a fresh route. The name might raise eyebrows - but the outcome is about confidence, renewal, and that lit-from-within glow.

I visited Mays Plastic Surgery Nov. 21st and had a great experience with both Meredith and Trina.Meredith did a Diamond Glow facial on me which gave me an incredible glow that I received multiple compliments on even days after my appointment. It was such a relaxing experience and Meredith made me feel so comfortable and she also prepped me to get filler and I felt literally zero discomfort when getting filler. The facial was so relaxing I didn't even want to get up out of the cozy little bed.Trina did my filler for both my undereyes and jawline. She gave great recommendations for what type of filler to use and placement. She made me feel very comfortable and was incredibly gentle during the procedure - I couldn't even tell where she'd injected me afterwards. The hollowness in my undereyes has been significantly reduced and my jawline looks so much more defined and pretty, even my neck under my chin looks better. I'm so pleased with following Trina's recommendations! My friends and coworkers have all asked about it and want to get it done themselves now!Thank you Meredith and Trina, you all were awesome!! 100% recommend them!
