What is salmon-sperm facial? Jennifer Aniston reveals the secret behind her ageless appearance
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jennifer Aniston is determined to maintain her youthful appearance and is open to trying different treatments and methods to achieve that.
In a recent interview, the 54-year-old star shared her experience of opting for a unique facial treatment involving salmon sperm. Salmon DNA closely resembles human DNA, which prompts the cells it touches to act more youthful.
Visible effects can emerge in just 2 weeks, while complete results may take around 3 to 4 months. The procedure involves applying a local anesthetic cream to the skin for half an hour, followed by a treatment lasting 15 to 20 minutes.
Experts and research suggest that salmon sperm DNA offers skin regenerative and anti-inflammatory benefits. A study found that this ingredient enhances skin elasticity and boosts collagen levels, particularly for aging skin.
Salmon sperm has gained recognition as a highly sought-after ingredient in Korean beauty products. Presently, it's available at medical spas, with the commitment to enhance cell turnover, boost collagen production, and enhance pigmentation and reduce inflammation.

In an earlier interview, Aniston mentioned that she doesn't like when people say she looks good for her age. "It drives me bananas. I can’t stand it," said the 'Friends' star, per Page Six.
"That’s a habit of society that we have these markers like, ‘Well, you’re at that stage, so for your age.’ I don’t even understand what it means. I’m in better shape than I was in my 20s; I feel better in mind, body, and spirit. It’s all 100 per cent better," she added.
