One man has revealed the secret to his ‘glowing’ skin, despite never getting enough sleep due to his demanding job.
The answer – perhaps surprisingly – is salmon sperm.
Tommy Davison, 27, manager of a large-scale restaurant in Manchester, recently completed three treatments of a new beauty procedure that practitioners say is groundbreaking.
Leading beautician Dr Patrick Robson added that his patients are increasingly asking for a ‘salmon sperm facial’, with celebrities including Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Aniston admitting they have tried it.
Tommy, who had his last session in mid-August, has credited the treatment with eliciting ‘countless compliments’.

“I work long hours and start early, which affects my sleep and my skin,” he explained.
‘I noticed my skin was looking tired and dehydrated, and when I first heard about Vitaran Polynucleotides I was sceptical, especially as I had tried other skin boosters before.
‘But after researching the treatment and watching videos on Instagram and YouTube, I decided to give it a try.’
The restaurant director said his skin “feels more hydrated” and proudly announced that he received compliments on his youthful appearance.
Tommy continued: ‘The treatment has given me a healthy glow and the most noticeable improvement is under my eyes, where I used to have dark circles from lack of sleep.
‘The environment is much brighter now and I look fresh.
‘The unique facial treatment involves the injection of polynucleotides (DNA) derived from salmon spleen, or in layman’s terms, fish sperm.
Although the idea may sound unusual, Dr Robson, who practices at King Street Grooming in central Manchester, said the results speak for themselves.

His clients report fewer wrinkles and fine lines, brighter skin and an overall youthful appearance after treatment.
The key lies in the salmon DNA’s ability to stimulate collagen production, leading to a rejuvenated appearance.
‘The potential is there to slow the aging process of the skin,’ says Dr Robson.
‘We can’t stop the natural aging process, but we can certainly slow it down by improving skin vitality with treatments like these.
‘In our 30s, collagen production begins to decline, and this procedure helps stimulate skin cells to produce more collagen.
‘People often have the feeling that they look younger as a result.’
Since joining King Street Grooming two years ago, the 51-year-old doctor has witnessed a wave of men also embracing skin care and aesthetics.
He said: ‘It has traditionally been a challenge to get men interested in these types of treatments, but that has changed recently.
“Seeing men on TikTok, Instagram and reality TV taking care of their skin has helped destigmatize male grooming.
‘Now more than half of our clientele are men – an unusual statistic in the aesthetics industry.’
Dr. Robson has been a dermatologist for almost 30 years and specializes in non-surgical aesthetic treatments.
He explains that the procedure works by injecting purified and sterilized polynucleotides from salmon or trout sperm into the skin.

Explaining the science, the doctor said: ‘These polynucleotides stimulate fibroblast cells to promote collagen production, increase cell turnover and improve skin elasticity.
‘This helps treat lines and wrinkles, improve skin hydration and even tackle acne and scars.
‘The treatment also reduces hyperpigmentation, redness and rosacea by affecting the melanocytes in the skin, leading to a more even skin tone.’
Although the facial is the most popular, these products can be used on any part of the skin.
The procedure itself is described as ‘very comfortable’ and lasts nine to 12 months, requiring a small supplement to maintain results.
The first effects are often visible within a few days.
Dr. Robson acknowledges that the fish semen component draws attention, but he assures clients that it is simply an effective way to introduce high-quality DNA in a large volume.
Despite the unusual ingredient, most customers are not deterred once the science is explained.
Tommy agreed, adding, “It doesn’t bother me at all.
‘Years ago, everyone was obsessed with heavy fillers that didn’t age well. Nowadays, people are looking for more organic and safer options.
‘Knowing that this treatment uses organic material gives you peace of mind.’
This week, Friends star Jennifer also made it clear that she had reservations about the unique ingredients in the facial.
‘How do you get sperm out of a salmon?’ Aniston told Jimmy Kimmel on Wednesday, recounting her conversation with an esthetician.
‘It was quite unclear. I just took the woman’s word that that was it. And I thought, “Of course.”
‘Don’t I have a beautiful salmon skin?’ she asked humorously.
