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, who is director of a large-scale restaurant in Manchester, recently completed three treatments of a new beauty procedure said to be cutting-edge by practitioners.
Leading aesthetician Dr Patrick Robson added that his patients are increasingly requesting a ‘salmon-sperm facial’, with celebrities including Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Aniston admitting to trying 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 had noticed my skin looking tired and dehydrated, and when I first heard about Vitaran Polynucleotides, I was skeptical, especially since 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 shot.’
The restaurant director said his skin ‘feels more hydrated’ and proudly announced that he has been complimented 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 area is now much brighter and I look refreshed.
‘The unique facial involves the injection of polynucleotides (DNA) sourced from salmon milt, or, in layman’s terms, fish semen.
While the idea might 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, more radiant skin and an overall youthful appearance following the 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 down the ageing process of the skin,’ said Dr Robson.
‘We can’t stop the natural ageing process but we can certainly delay it by enhancing skin vitality with treatments like this.
‘By our 30s, collagen production starts to decline, and this procedure helps to stimulate the skin’s cells to produce more collagen.
‘People often feel they look younger as a result.’
Since joining King Street Grooming two years ago, the 51-year-old doctor has witnessed a surge in men also embracing skincare and aesthetics.
He said: ‘It’s traditionally been a challenge to get men interested in treatments like this but that’s changed recently.
‘Seeing men on TikTok, Instagram and reality TV taking care of their skin has helped destigmatise male grooming.
‘Now, over half of our clientele are men – an unusual statistic in the aesthetics industry.’
Dr Robson has been a dermatologist for nearly 30 years and specialises in non-surgical aesthetic treatments.
He explains that the procedure works by injecting purified and sterilised 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 skin cell turnover, and enhance skin elasticity.
‘This helps treat lines and wrinkles, improve skin hydration and even address acne and scarring.
‘The treatment also reduces hyperpigmentation, redness and rosacea by affecting melanocytes in the skin, leading to a more even skin tone.’
While the facial treatment is the most popular, these products can be used on any area of the skin.
The procedure itself is described as ‘very comfortable’ and lasts between nine to 12 months, with a minor top-up required to maintain results.
The initial effects are often visible within a few days.
Dr Robson acknowledges that the fish sperm component grabs attention but he assures clients that it’s simply an effective way to introduce high-quality DNA in a large volume.
Despite the unusual ingredient, most clients are undeterred once the science is explained.
Tommy agreed and added: ‘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 this treatment uses organic material brings peace of mind.’
This week Friends star Jennifer also made it clear she had her doubts about the unique ingredients in the facial.
‘How do you get sperm out of a salmon?’ Aniston told Jimmy Kimmel on Wednesday, relaying her conversation with an aesthetician.
‘It was sort of unclear. I just took the woman’s word that that’s what it was. And I was like, “Sure.”
‘Don’t I have beautiful salmon skin?’ she humorously asked.
