There are many weird and wonderful treatments you can have in the beauty world.

From vampire facials to gemstone massages, the list is never-ending, and it seems like there's a new unusual trend emerging every single week. However, one woman's fishy method for glowing skin has left some beauty lovers up in arms, wondering why you'd get something so bizarre done.

Instagram and TikTok user @wendyskin said she was "shaking" before getting the procedure done, but she "walked out regretting nothing at all". So, what did she have done to her skin to get the dreamy glow? Wendy had salmon sperm injected into her face.

She said: "Do not get salmon DNA injected into your skin unless you want glowy skin 24/7 and tons of compliments on your face." Wendy explained she visited the woman who does her Botox to try the "very viral Korean skin treatment" that "basically injects salmon's little swimmers" into your face.

She admitted it "sounds so weird" but claimed there was "tons of research on it", saying it's been proven to "improve hydration and cell renewal". Wendy explained it can be done using a syringe, but the woman she went to uses a tool that has nine needles on it - meaning the reproductive fluids are injected evenly throughout the face.

She said "it did not hurt one bit because of the numbing cream", but warned people that everyone's skin "reacts differently". Wendy noticed her skin glowing that very night, whereas her partner's turned "so red" before improving.

She described their skin as looking "juicy and plump", and said they both got "so many compliments" after the treatment had been done. Wendy then showed a few clips of her skin "without product" looking dewy and glowy.

Some dubbed the bizarre treatment "disgusting". Another wrote: "What 'tons of' research? I want articles written by dermatologists with degrees." While someone else fumed: "B***h stop putting random s**t on ur face."
