Youth chasers are injecting trout and salmon sperm in faces instead of traditional fillers: ‘Results have been dramatic’

There’s nothing fishy about this skin care secret — unless you count the ingredients.
The pursuit of plastic-free perfection has led beauty buffs on a hunt for nonsurgical alternatives — and the promise of one new cutting-edge approach is prompting some doctors to skirt federal regulations.
New Yorker Cortny R., for instance, refuses to go under the knife.
“I don’t want to have plastic surgery. I’m not at that point yet. I want to just look my best, feel my best,” Cortny, who declined to provide her last name, told The Post, adding that she wants to “age gracefully.”
Instead, the 57-year-old opts for noninvasive alternatives, like lasers, Botox and, most recently, polynucleotide injections — derived from the gonads of trout and salmon — which improve complexion, tackle signs of aging and, according to Cortny, make skin “radiant.”
And she’s in good company. Polynucleotides got a major plug when pop sensation Charli xcx, 32, confessed she’d ditched artificial injectables like filler and Botox in favor of the new-age treatment, which can cost upward of $1,000 at certain clinics in the UK. The “Brat” hitmaker joins the ranks of beauty-obsessed A-listers who have recently denounced the use of facial filler.
