Flailing libido?
Maybe you’ve thought about buying racy new lingerie to spice things up in the bedroom. Eating a plate of oysters — nature’s own aphrodisiac — might’ve even crossed your mind in your pursuit of passion.
But now there’s a new way to rev up your sex drive, albeit an unusual one.
Beauty clinics are now offering £400 salmon sperm injections that are delivered straight into the vagina.
Women seeking to banish their wrinkles can already get the unusual ‘tweakment’ directly in their face.
Aesthetic nurse Amanda Azzopardi claims injecting it into ‘intermate areas’ can help improve ‘vaginal dryness’ and ‘sexual arousal’
As well as Botox-like effects, polynucleotides – as they are medically known – are said to give customers a ‘baby face’.
Similar rejuvenating effects are seen in the vagina, claims Amanda Azzopardi, an aesthetic nurse who runs clinics in London, Liverpool and North Wales.
Its powerful effects thwart the loss of elasticity that occurs with age.
Ms Azzopardi says this can help beat ‘vaginal dryness and painful intercourse’.
‘A lot of older women come to me and say they are not having any kind of sexual arousal anymore,’ she told MailOnline.
‘So, we do the “O shot” and they’re reporting stronger and more frequent orgasms increased natural lubrication, greater sexual arousal.’
‘life changing’ results that can boost your sex life can be seen after about two to four sessions of these treatments, Ms Azzopardi claims
The beauty treatment uses purified and sterilised DNA molecules extracted from salmon or trout (pictured) sperm, known as polynucleotides, and some doctors claim it is safer than other cosmetic injectables
Results can be seen after about two to four sessions of these treatments, according to Ms Azzopardi.
‘It’s just absolutely life changing for them,’ she said.
It typically uses purified and sterilised DNA molecules extracted from salmon or trout sperm, known as polynucleotides which have anti-inflammatory effects.
South Korea’s aesthetics sector has been using the treatment for over a decade.
But it’s now gaining popularity among Western celebrities. Jennifer Aniston told The Wall Street Journal last year that she is reaping its skin-rejuvenating qualities on her face.
When polynucleotides are injected into human skin, fibroblasts are activated.
Fibroblasts are stretchy molecules found in skin that help to maintain the structural framework of the tissue. As we age these fibroblasts decrease.
So, when the polynucleotides are injected under the eyes, in the cheekbones or in the neck, it theoretically ‘rejuvenates’ the skin. Ms Azzopardi says this is exactly how it works in ‘intimate areas’, too.
Ms Azzopardi also claims intermate polynucleotides are better for mature women than injections are of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which is also used as a libido-booster in private clinics
Some doctors claim polynucleotides are safer than other cosmetic injectables, like Botox, which have been linked to a catalogue of complications including blocked blood vessels, lumpy skin and infections.
Ms Azzopardi also claims intermate polynucleotides are better for mature women than injections are of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), another libido-booster offered in private clinics.
‘PRP is great if you’re 20 years old, because you’ve got all those fibroblasts, you’ve got the collagen, you’ve got the elastin, and your thyroid or your hormones,’ she said.
‘But if you’re older, if you are in your 40s, 50s or 60s your healthy cells are dying off.
‘So it’s much better to use something that is, you know, pre manufactured, it’s very safe along with other other treatments.
‘It’s great for mature skin to improve cellular aging, and enhance hydration,’ she added.
